🖤This is a very special message, whānau.
You may not know it, but at Auckland City Hospital there are designated spaces for the transportation of the Tūpāpaku (deceased). The designated pathway for tūpāpaku to travel along ensures the transportation does not violate the tapu of the deceased or the grieving whānau. One of those areas is what we refer to as the Tūpāpaku Lifts which is considered tapu (sacred). As it is tapu, food, drink, dirty linen and instruments cannot be taken in the lift at any time.
This pathway is very important and a request by our Chief Advisor Tikanga, Dame Rangimārie Naida Glavish, has seen the lift receive a makeover.
“We had messages on the lift informing the public and staff that this was a tūpāpaku lift but we felt it needed more. An upgrade so to speak, one that reinforced the message and protected those who have passed away.”
This morning saw the introduction of illustrations on the lift doors with the aim of reinforcing that we all adhere to the principles of tikanga with regard to this space and its purpose.
Manu (birds) have significance that transcends myth and legend. They are regarded as spiritual messengers. Illustrated by Toby Morris, the design is a combination of birds representing a mix of respect and celebration. Each of the birds in the illustration has significance and can be found in the Auckland DHB region.
