Symbolism Three Fingers (3 Baskets of Knowledge)
: This is the Story of How Tane, the Maori Progenitor of Mankind, of the Forests and All the Creatures of the Forest, Ascended Through the 12 Realms (heavens) to the Uppermost Realm, Occupied Only by Ko Io (The Supreme Being), and From There He Obtained the Three Baskets of Knowledge, the Wananga (Sacred Tribal Knowledge), For the Children of the Primal Parents, and For Mankind to Come. Tane Returned to Earth With the Knowledge, and to Create Humankind From the Earth. Traditional Maori Thinking Presents Us With Three Sources of Knowledge (Life's Path). The First Basket Called Aronui, There is the Experience of Our Senses; The Second Basket Called Tuauri, There is Our Understanding of What Lies Behind Our Sense Experience; and the Third Basket Called Tuaatea, There is the Experience We Have, Particularly in Ritual, of Our Oneness With Each Other and With the Past.
