Hauhake is a collective for Maori in REAP. Hauhake is the Maori word for REAP. The motivation for a Maori caucus was given voice at the Annual Conference, held in Turanganui-a-Kiwa in 2003. REAPers decided that it was time to make some changes in the way things were going and the idea of getting together as Maori, to support one another, to discuss our needs and aspirations and to address the needs of our clients came to the fore.
The following information was gleaned from the original Hauhake website.
Te Kupu Whakamarama - an explanation.
Hauhake moko
It represents a number of things.
1. the larger koru form an inverted mangopare
2. coming out of the mangopare are ihiihi or shoots
3. there are two shades of kikorangi in the moko
Mangopare implies never giving up, always striving for success, always striving to vanquish problems and difficulties.
The ihiihi allude to the growth that comes from striving, from hard work and labour, and this is what so many of us are involved in. They also allude to new growth which eventually will need to be harvested.
Kikorangi represents matauranga, knowledge and understanding. There are two shades of blue - the darker implies the knowledge that is obvious and upfront, while the lighter indicates something more subtle, more hidden, not so obvious and perhaps not so easily grasped.
