HAMECON – Polynesian Fish Hook Symbol
The fish hook is a powerful symbol in French Polynesia and throughout Polynesian cultures. Deeply rooted in tradition, spirituality, and the identity of indigenous peoples, it represents both sustenance and prosperity. Considered sacred and magical, certain hooks were attributed to gods or mythological heroes, such as Māui, the demigod said to have “fished up” islands using a magical hook. It serves as a bridge between the human world, the ocean, and the sacred.
