Kia Ora, My name is Ataria. I am Māori, indigenous to Aotearoa (New Zealand) of Ngāpuhi and Ngāti Porou decent, born and raised in the capital, Wellington. I come from a line of ancestors who were strong advocates for Māori land rights and following that trait I want to be able to provide Jewellery to allow you to express your identity. I also want to show you that as a Māori, you can do great things and be proud of where you come from. "Tūwhitia te hopo, tūwhitia te manawa." which translates "Overcome fear, overcome the heart". You can do anything you put your mind too and this is evidence.
