The Story of Waihiko

The Waihiko purakau provides a narrative that shows a Maori connection to the digital, technological realms and highlights the power we have to harness unlimited potential. Waihiko is our interpretation of the atua (god) of electricity. An element that has always been there but only in recent times has humankind had the capacity and capability to interact with her. The daughter of Tamanuitera (The Sun) and Rua Korekore (the potential), Waihiko loved to race across the solar system with her mama and papa. Purakau provide a framework for how we might engage with the different elements in our taiao and also how they behave.
