 TE WHAKAPAPA O NGĀ KAIPAKIHI O NZ POI SHOP: 

Te taha o Ngāti-Hine ko Poai Waimarama Kaka tōku pāpā,
Ko Te Waimarama Kaka te tupuna no Matawaia,
 Ko Te Arani Hati/Patuwai te tupuna-whaea no Te Kaipara, Ngāti-Whātua
Te taha o Ngāti-Kuri, ko Adelaide Waitai tōku māmā no Te Hapua,
Ko Henfry Stephens te karani-pā tuarua, he Ngāti-Pakēha ia,
Ko Te Auraki Puku te tupuna-whaea  tuarua no Whangape, Te Rarawa
Na reira, ko au, māua ko Hiria Aorangi ngā kaipakihi o NZ POI SHOP.
Ko Sonny Niha, tōku hoa pūmau. Ko ia tā māua kaumatua tautoko. No Pipiwai, o Te Orewai ia.

We endear the privilege of being born Māori. 
After my 9-year-old moko, taught me how to make poi, I've been doing it ever since. 
Hiria Aorangi uses her expertise crossing the T's and dotting the I's in our business.

We proudly treasure these taonga of our ancestors and enjoy actively keeping 
'THE POI'
from the past to the present, and into the future.
