Nō te tau 1911 ka hangaia te Tohu Pakanga o Aotearoa, ā, nō te tau 1956 ka whakahouhia. Kei runga e whakaatuhia ana he motu tikanga rua a Aotearoa, arā, e whakaatu ana i te wahine Pākehā ki tētahi taha me te rangatira Māori ki tētahi. Ko te tohu kei runga i te hīra e tohu ana ki ngā mahi tauhokohoko, ahuwhenua, ahumahi hoki ki Aotearoa nei. He tohu hirahira te koru o te aroha ā-motu, ā, he whakamaumaharatanga te karauna ki ngā hononga ā-ture o tēnei motu ki te Karauna o Ingarangi.
