Whale Tail - Muri Paraoa - meaning speed and strength. The Whale Tail represents the support often shown by dolphins and whales to humans in distress, therefore a symbol of protection. It expresses the respect for the sea and nature thus a symbol of good luck, providing safe passage over water. The Whale was the most important animal in the life of the Māori. Besides speed and strength, it also represents success, confidence, sensitivity, and the bond between animal and human.
