Sharing our heritage

Carrying home into the future

We believe in celebrating our children's rich Pacific heritage in any way we can. We do this by creating quality learning resources and experiences that incorporates the languages, patterns and motifs of our Pacific homelands.

By surrounding our babies with strong and positive cultural learning interactions, we enable them to carry their 'home' into the future.

E lele le Toloa, ae ma'au i le vai

"E lele le Toloa, ae ma'au i le vai"

"The Pacific grey duck soars away, though always returns to the water".

The word ma'au in the ancient Samoan proverb above, means 'to return' with a sense of a homecoming. 

It is often used to illustrate the concept that regardless of where the pacific man or woman finds themselves in the world, they are eternally tethered to their family, culture and heritage. The invitation ‘to return’ home, is ever present and accessible.

From this understanding, the vision emerged to surround our babies with high quality, pacific-inspired products and resources that celebrates their heritage.

This vision is an endeavour to connect the next generation to the languages, patterns, songs and stories of their ‘home’.

This is our way of returning home.
