Specially designed by Te Tuhi Mareikura artist Kereama Taepa, the gift box is conceived as a wakahuia - container for taonga and features the Tino Rangatiratanga flag.

Linda and Te Tuhi Mareikura Trust are working to protect the mana of the Tino Rangatiratanga flag to ensure that Māori are always the beneficiaries of what the flag represents and that it is not misused and misappropriated.

Linda says this special collaboration ensures that these things are in place so know that in buying our box, you are respecting the intellectual property of the kara and supporting a kaupapa of mana motuhake, which means self-determination and control over one’s destiny.

The Tino Rangatiratanga flag is an iconic art piece that has become the most powerful symbol of Māori identity and absolute sovereignty. Designed by Linda Munn, Hiraina Marsden and Jan Smith in 1989, the flag embodies our hopes and aspirations for the betterment of Māori culture and our enhanced wellbeing.

“The kara Māori is symbolic of Mana Māori and has become a tohu of Tino Rangatiratanga to tautoko a generation and future generations of iwi, hapū, whānau and mahi kaupapa Māori,” says Linda.

Inside you will find exclusive Tino Rangatiratanga products signed by Linda, a Te Tiriti book, a beautifully designed drink bottle and sunscreen to keep you hydrated and sun safe when you take up the call to hikoi for the movement.

The box comes in two sizes, and retails between $150 and $200 with a percentage of profits going back into TMTs work supporting Linda and the Tino Rangatiratanga kaupapa.
