Ngaronga (long) Whero

The Niho Taniwha (tooth of the taniwha) is a powerful  symbol representing protection, strength, and the guardianship of both the physical and spiritual realms. In everyday life, the Niho Taniwha serves as a reminder to stand firm and resilient in the face of challenges, much like the taniwha itself—an ancient creature often seen as a guardian and protector. This symbol encourages us to tap into our inner strength and instincts, protecting ourselves and our loved ones while navigating the complexities of modern life. It also speaks to the importance of safeguarding our cultural heritage, wisdom, and the environment around us. In daily life, the Niho Taniwha reminds us to be bold in our actions, to defend what is sacred, and to honor our responsibilities as protectors of the land, our communities, and our personal well-being. Through this design, we learn to face adversity with courage and the unwavering belief that we have the power to overcome any obstacle.
