By red and black a job is finished - Many hands make light work.

also makes reference to the creation story when rangi and papa were separating by there offspring, white = the light red the blood of there separating bodies' and black the dark.

The spirit of unity:

"Kotahi i te kohao o te ngira e kuhuna ai te miro ma, te miro pango, te miro whero"

There is only one eye of the needle through which the white, blak and red threads must pass.
