Large Pounamu greenston Hei Tiki necklace

Today, the Hei Tiki continues to be a popular symbol of Māori heritage, worn not only for its spiritual qualities but also as a cultural identity marker. It represents an enduring connection to the Māori people’s roots, traditions, and values. In contemporary Māori culture, wearing a Hei Tiki can also signify pride in one’s ancestry and is often passed down as a family heirloom.

While the traditional meanings persist, modern interpretations of the Hei Tiki have also emerged, with some viewing it as a symbol of personal strength and resilience, as it represents the continuation of life and the endurance of cultural traditions in the face of change.
In conclusion, the Hei Tiki Pounamu is much more than a piece of jewelry; it is a symbol rich in history, spiritual meaning, and cultural significance, serving as a constant reminder of one’s connections to their ancestry, their land, and the life force that flows through them.

Pounamu has been blessed by carver.
