The group were established to provide an opportunity to educate people in Māori culture and knowledge using haka as the platform.
Their motto is “kia tū tangata, kia tū Māori” and speaks directly to the group’s aspiration to enable its members to be able to stand with confidence within Te Ao Māori.
Black, white and orange are the group’s colours and the niho taniwha patterns found on the pari, tātua and tīpari were designed by the late grandmother of Pita Savage.
The group’s leaders are Nigo Maruera and Pita Savage, with Pita Savage also serving as manukura tāne and Teia-Rei Savage serving as the manukura wahine.
