Hui ā Tau 2026 Theme | Māui Pōkai Āo

Māui the adept explorer, Māui the expert navigator set out to conquer his world for the betterment of all. 
Māui Tiki ā Taranga, the resilient one, the creative one, the innovator, the courageous one, Māui who tamed the sun, and fished up the North Island.

Māui - No obstacle or barrier prevented his upward progress to achieve the ultimate prize and so it should be for our mokopuna. Nothing should obstruct them reaching their star, their moon or their Āo.

Pōkai - To gather, to explore, to seek out.

Āo - Light or the world.
