Tumanako Huia

The birds call, the day begins, and I am Alive!

~ Korihi ake nga manu Takiri mai te ata

Ka oa ka oa ka awatea tihei mauri ora!

Tūmanako means hope - The dawn chorus reminds us that each day is a fresh beginning, a chance to start again. This print carries the message that every sunrise brings new light, new beginnings, and fresh possibility. It features two huia - precious birds of Aotearoa - flying together as guardians of hope.

A print for new chapters and fresh starts — a daily reminder that no matter what has come before, the birds still sing, and every day holds promise. Perfect as a gift for graduations, weddings, farewells, or any moment of change where hope lights the way forward.

From the Te Arawa karakia 'He karakia whakapopto i te pō kia hohoro te awatea ~ A karakia to shorten the night and make daylight come quickly' First published in Grey's book Ko nga moteatea in 1853.
