The Hei Matau/ Fish Hook symbolizes life, well-being and prosperity throughout the South Pacific as it was used by the Māori as a practical tool for fishing that has played the key role in sustaining island families and communities. Today it also represents strength and determination. It brings peace, prosperity, good health and provides good luck and safety when travelling, especially over water.
