Description
The Roimata is one of three designs inspired by nature. As many indigenous peoples have a strong connection to nature, it is a very popular style. The Niho Taniwha design inside the Roimata represents strength and resilience along with some deeper meanings as to a position or mana held within the tribe (chief or historian as well as the tribe's hospitality)
