    • 1. (noun) New Zealand pigeon, kererū, Hemiphaga novaeseelandiae - a large green, copper and white native bush pigeon which was eaten by Māori. Kererū were one of two foods harvested during the Māori new year. 

    • This whakataukī is a reminder to Māori of the historical, cultural and spiritual links to the past and is an affirmation that, no matter what happens, their identity as a people will remain strong because they know who they are and where they are from.

      This wakatataukī is sung as an Aotearoa folk song.
