- Symbolism: Tribal Tapa/Kapa Patterns: In Traditional Maori Culture, the Aute (Tapa) Tree-Bark Cloth Patterns or Maori Ta Moko (Permanent Body and Face Tattoo) Markings Indigenous to the Tribes of Ancient Aotearoa (New Zealand) Represented Uniquely Defined Symbols. Some Patterns Were Tribe Specific, While Others Were Commonly Shared. These Ever Evolving Blended and Integrated Patterns Eventually Became Borderless and Were Distributed Throughout the Central Polynesian Islands. In Hawaii, Tree-Bark Cloth Patterns Are Known as Kapa With Tattoo Practices Called Kakau. Regardless of Name Differences, Many Still Share Similar Symbolic Meanings. Triangles Represent Independence, Creativity and Spiritual Clarity. The Criss-Cross Lines Represent a Maori Raranga (Weaving) Takitahi (Once Told) Pattern to Represent Your Life's Path With Angled Lines (Hardships and Challenges Along With Happiness and Accomplishments). Double Curved Lines Mean Abundance, Wealth, and Indicates Two Important Mentors Who Will Lead You to These.
