About Tiki-kapakapa
In Maori tradition, Tiki-kapakapa is an important figure, known as the progenitor of fish and one of the manifestations of Tiki, the first man. Tiki is a revered figure in Maori culture, considered the father of all Maori people, and his many manifestations represent different aspects of the natural and spiritual world.
According to Maori legend, Tiki-kapakapa was born from the union of the sky god, Ranginui, and the earth goddess, Papatuanuku. It is said that Tiki-kapakapa was the first to explore the seas, and that he discovered the abundance of fish that could be found there. In recognition of his discovery, he was given the name Tiki-kapakapa, meaning “the fish-finder.”
In Maori culture, Tiki-kapakapa is associated with the sea and fishing. Fishermen would often invoke his name, seeking his protection and guidance during their fishing trips. They would also offer him gifts, such as fish and shells, as a way of showing their respect and gratitude. Many Maori families would keep small statues of Tiki-kapakapa in their homes, and offer him flowers and other offerings on a daily basis.
Tiki-kapakapa is also associated with the warrior spirit. He is said to be brave, strong and powerful, and to possess the courage and determination needed to navigate the vast and unpredictable seas. He is also considered a symbol of protection, and it is believed that he can protect against danger and evil.
Today, Tiki-kapakapa’s legacy continues to live on in the Maori culture. He is remembered and honored for his role in the Maori people’s history, for bringing the fish and for being a symbol of bravery, determination, and protection. The Tiki-kapakapa Maori Silver Beads is a way to celebrate and preserve the Maori culture and heritage, and to honor this important figure who plays a vital role in it.
