Te Ao Mārama

Te Ao Mārama

The World of Light


Rooted in the creation narrative, Te Ao Mārama is the physical world of light created when Tāne and his siblings separated their parents, Ranginui (Sky Father) and Papatūānuku (Earth Mother).

Te kore, te kore. 
Te pō, te pō. 
Te ao, te ao. 
Takiri mai te ata, korihi te manu, tino awatea. 
Ka ao, ka ao, ka awatea. 
Turuturu ā uta, turuturu ā tai 
Tihei mauri ora

As we emerge from the darkness, 
the rising sun heralds the beautiful melodies of our birdlife, and the promise of a new day.


The world of life, clarity, and enlightenment.
