For the people "The Circle of Life"

This logo symbolizes the unity of all tribes in Aotearoa as shown by the interweaving patterns in the centre of the design. Male and female joining together from the four corners of the compass, with young families living in close harmony.

​

Vision by the late Ralph Olsen, designed by Rangi Hetet.

Ahakoa, tokorua, kotahi ranei

Tamaiti whawha ki te hoe Māori

Koe ana te hoe to waka-Pukeatua

Koe ana ngā hoe o Pukeatua

Koe ia ngā hoe o Pukeatua

If there be just one or two young people,

Who grasp the paddle of their culture,

Then they will be Pukeatua,

The people of Wainuiomata.
