The Taonga Pito refers to the sacred connection to life, often symbolized by the pito (umbilical cord).
Taonga pito is a physical representation of this life force and ancestral link.
It is believed that the pito represents the beginning of life and the continuity of life from one generation to the next, often buried near or on ancestral land to maintain that deep connection to the whenua (land) and their iwi (tribe).
