The story of Tū Ngātahi
Tū Ngātahi is a te Reo Māori phrase that calls us to stand together, and this is our way of saying that we stand together with you. It is a gesture of unity, to show that you are welcome and supported here in New Zealand.

In New Zealand, pounamu is a taonga – a treasure – and often given as a gift. This special piece of pounamu represents the bond that we share and acknowledges that when we stand together, we all flourish – now and in the future.
Enjoy this gift, from Aotearoa to you.
