English: Gateway of Kahurangi with Kaitiaki rock in the middle, Tapawera, New Zealand. The gateway depicts:
Left amo (amo = vertical support):
Thomas Brunner with kowhaiwhai above his head signifying rivers, valleys and flora of Wangapeka
Right amo: E Kehu (right column) who was a Māori guide who led
Charles Heaphy and Brunner through what's now Kahurangi National Park. Above his head is kowhaiwhai again (see above) signifying Wangapeka Track and Wangapeka River
Left maihi (mahi = diagonal board): tools related to Tapawera industry like a pick and a shovel (mining along Wangapeka Track) and a saw representing local forestry
Right maihi: kai (weaved basked) signifies locally grown kai berries and other produce, and other tools
Middle part of maihi: the head signifies kaitiaki, the guardian who overlooks blue rivers of Kahurangi. The white colour on his head signifies
Maunga Whare papa/Mount Arthur
The blue colour points to the fact that one of the meanings of "kahurangi" is "colour of the sky"
