Congratulations, you've found whetū Waitā.
The whetū Waitā, the twin of Waitī, is associated with the ocean and the food gathered from its waters. In te ao Māori, Waitā represents the abundance of the moana and the connection between people and the sea.
As Matariki marks the beginning of a new year, Waitā encourages us to appreciate the gifts of the ocean and the role it plays in sustaining life. This whetū reminds us of the importance of caring for our marine environments so they can continue to support future generations.
