Navigating between two worlds, the Tohunga or high priest had many roles within the tribal community, being able to cross the veil into the plane of light, to receive messages to help guide the tribe onto the right path.

This Paki and Maro piece (Shoulder shawl and loin cloth type garment) pays homage to our Tohunga of the past and casts light to our many Tohunga of the future.
