Moana Maori Symbols Pendant Dangle Charm

Moana means an open body of water – an ocean or sea. The term Moana, meaning ocean, is common to all Polynesian cultures. To the Māori, the sea was the source of all life, and the sea was relied on for sustenance, through fishing. The sea can be calm, energetic or dangerous at different times. These qualities are reflected in the meaning of the Moana symbol.
