He Kupu Whakataki
Introduction
Ko te huinga pukapuka Te Tautoko he kohinga kōrero nō neherā, nō ēnei rangi tonu e hāngai ana ki te hunga rangatahi. Ka whai atu Te Tautoko i te huinga pukapuka a He Kohikohinga, ā, ka hāngai ki ngā ākonga i ngā tau 7–8. E hāngai ana tēnei putanga ki ngā mahi me ngā tākaro a te Māori o mua mai, o nāianei hoki, he kōrero mō tētahi kaihoahoa kākahu, otirā tōna whānau me tōna umanga pakihi, he whitinga whakangahau hoki mō te Pouākai me tētahi whakataukī rongonui e whai tikanga ana ki te ao o nāianei.
The Te Tautoko series is a collection of historical and contemporary stories compiled to appeal to a young audience. It follows on from the He Kohikohinga series and intended for students in years 7–8. This issue focuses on Māori participation in games and sports both past and present, a fashion designer and her family business, a poem about the Pouākai, and the application for today’s world of a well known proverb.
