The fish hook shape of the Hei Matau finds its meaning and origins in Maori legend, which holds that the North Island of New Zealand was once a huge fish that was caught by the great mariner, Maui, using only a woven line and a hook made from the jawbone of his grandmother.

The Fish Hook denotes the importance of fishing to the Maori people of New Zealand and their strong relationship with the ocean and Tangaroa, the God of the sea.
