New Zealand/Aotearoa-themed DreamSheep
With apologies to hatman, who got there first, here are my variations on NZ/Aotearoa-themed dreamsheep:
From left, the Maori tino rangatiratanga flag, the Silver Fern aka the NZ All Blacks symbol, and Hundertwasser's unofficial NZ flag, the koru or fern frond, which I've included here for its resemblance to general Dreamwidth logoness.
As a bonus, each of them comes with and without a moko, or Maori face tattoo. The relative expanse of the tattoo makes all my NZ dreamsheep rams actually ;) Also, you've been spared actual Maori dreamsheep in Maori purely because Whaanui Moemoeaa was a little too long to fit into the Dreamwidth thought bubble!
Disclaimer: I'm not remotely tangata whenua myself, not even Kiwi. Merely an interested pakeha who's always willing to be educated on where I messed up with regards to Maori language or culture!
