| Description |
From the information next to the anchor: Māori creation stories tell how Māui, a legendary Polynesia voyager, pulled up from the sea floor the anchor stone Te Puka A Māui (Stewart Island / Rakiura) to act as an anchor for the great ancestral canoe Te Waka o Aoraki (South Island of New Zealand). The stylised anchor chain is secured firmly on land by a shackle but disappears beneath Foveaux Strait / Te Ara a Kewa to remind us of the physical and spiritual connections between Stewart Island / Rakiura and Bluff / Motu Pohue, the traditional taurapa or stern post of Te Waka o Aoraki. The chain links also symbolise a history of inter-relationships that have given the peoples of Stewart Island / Rakiura a strong sense of heritage and identity. |
