Summary

Description
English: Gateway of Kahurangi with Kaitiaki rock in the middle, Tapawera, New Zealand. The gateway depicts:
  • Left amo (amo = vertical support): Thomas Brunner with kowhaiwhai above his head signifying rivers, valleys and flora of Wangapeka
  • Right amo: E Kehu (right column) who was a Māori guide who led Charles Heaphy and Brunner through what's now Kahurangi National Park. Above his head is kowhaiwhai again (see above) signifying Wangapeka Track and Wangapeka River
  • Left maihi (mahi = diagonal board): tools related to Tapawera industry like a pick and a shovel (mining along Wangapeka Track) and a saw representing local forestry
  • Right maihi: kai (weaved basked) signifies locally grown kai berries and other produce, and other tools
  • Middle part of maihi: the head signifies kaitiaki, the guardian who overlooks blue rivers of Kahurangi. The white colour on his head signifies Maunga Whare papa/Mount Arthur
The blue colour points to the fact that one of the meanings of "kahurangi" is "colour of the sky"
