In Māori culture, Hei Matau refers to a fishhook symbol that represents strength, prosperity, good luck, safe travels, and a connection to the ocean. The term translates to "fishhook pendant "and is rooted in Māori mythology, particularly the legend of Maui using a magical fishhook made from his grandmothers' jawbone to haul up the North Island of New Zealand.

today, wearing the Hei Matau pendant is a talisman for good fortune, protection on journeys, and a deep connection to ancestral traditions and the sea.
