Tō Mātou Ao

Kupu whakataki

I whakarewa ake tēnei kaupapa i te tau 2021 hei waka kawe i ngā manako o te iwi kia ora tonu ai tō tātou reo me te ahurea Māori ki runga i te moana me te whenua o te rohe nei. E rongo ana mātou ki te hiahia o te iwi kia ako ai anō ki ngā āhuatanga o ngā taonga tuku iho i runga anō i te tikanga Māori, ki roto i te taiao.

Ko tō mātou whāinga matua kia hono atu ai anō te hapori Māori o Te Tai-o-Aorere ki ngā taonga tuku iho o ngā mātua tīpuna.

E ārahina ana tō tātou waka e ngā whetū e toru: 

  • 1

    Ko te reo Māori

  • 2

    Ko te tūhonotanga

    to te taiao, each other and taonga tuku iho

  • 3

    Ko te whakarauora

Ngā Kaihoe-o-runga:

He rōpū mātou e ngākaunui ana ki te ao Māori. Ko tō mātou mahi hei ārahi, hei tautoko i tō mātou hapori/iwi/whānau kia hono atu ai anō ki ngā taonga tuku iho, koia ko tō tātou reo, ko ngā mahi o te whare pora, ko ngā mahi o te whare o Tū, ko ngā mahi whakatere waka, otirā ko te whakatipu i `tō tātou Pā Harakeke. 

Ko tō tātou rautaki he manaaki i te tangata i runga i ngā āhuatanga Māori, kia ako ngā tahi ai te reo, te tikanga, me te mahi ā-ringa e hāngai ana ki ngā taonga tuku iho.

Ō mātou Whanonga Pono:

  • Whakawhirinaki       
  • Aroha, tētahi-ki-tētahi 
  • Kia ngawari te tikanga, kia pai te ngākau 
  • Kia pono ki te kaupapa 
  • Mā te katoa e whakahaere 
  • Kia hohou nei i te rongo

He aha tā mātou i rerekē ai?

Ko te whai i te reo Māori, he kaha nei hoki ki te mirimiri i ngā taura-here-tangata me te hono ki te taiao hei haumi i te waka. Koia pū te take kia whakaorangia ai ngā taonga tuku iho.
