Step into the sun with the Ngati Porou Bucket Hat. Woven from light to mid-weight 100% cotton. The brim is reinforced with fine stitching — strong, dependable, like whakapapa that holds us steady. Side eyelets keep the air flowing, while the tear-out label makes it easy to wear your way.
The distinctive poutama design was introduced by Ta Apirana Ngata, representing our famous ancestor Porourangi. It honours our whakapapa and reminds us of our lineage as we walk in today’s world.
He Wiwi Nati - “Nati” is a term of endearment used for a particular kind of Ngati Porou person — not all Ngati Porou are Nati, and those who are carry a distinct identity shaped by whakapapa, place, and mindset. In the end, there are two kinds of people: those who are Nati, and those who wish they were!
