Unisex Rongoa for Earth - Kawakawa and Pupurangi Decolonisation Aotearoa Tee

$33.51 SGD

In the great kauri forests of northern Aotearoa, what appears to be fairy music is made by pūpūrangi or kauri snails in the high branches of the trees turning the lip of their shell into the breeze and creating an eerie whistle. They also make a whistling sound when retreating into their shells. These ‘fairy flutes’ can also become a fascinating instrument when the empty shells are blown in a similar way to the kōauau. Other shells also sing when blown this way and a trip to the beach takes on a new dimension as you keep trying out shells to find one that sings for you. Source: https://www.taongapuoro.nz/tangaroa

Kawakawa is the master healer of the Rongoā system of medicinal practice, said to be given to human creatures directly from the Gods.

Nature connection is critical as we navigate Earth changes, and making kin with the land we are on, while claiming a responsibility for her wellbeing, is essential so future humans and our multispecies family have a home to share. This t-shirt is a political assertion you can wear to show solidarity with the principles embedded within First Peoples relationship with Earth. Created with hand drawn artwork made by Angelaki Design Aotearoa. Ships from and to everywhere (including from Australia!)
