KO TE KARAHIPI WHAKAMAUMAHARA
KI A TE MOANA-NUI-A-KIWA NGĀRIMU
ME TE OPE TAUA MĀORI
Nō te tau 1945, ka whakataua e te Kāwanatanga he ture hei whakatinana i tētahi tahua hei Karahipi Whakamaumahara ki a Te Moana-nui-a-Kiwa Ngārimu, he āpiha nō Te Taua Māori o te Whawhai Nui Tuarua a te Ao ki a Tiamana, i whakawhiwhia rā ia ki te tohu toa, ki te Ripeka a Kuini Wikitōria, ā, hei tohu whakamoemiti hoki ki te katoa o Te Ope Taua Māori me te iwi Māori nui tonu.
I raro i ngā whakataunga a taua ture, āpiti atu ki te Whakataetae Tuhi Kōrero ia tau, inā ngā āwhina e whakawhiwhia ki te hunga e toa i raro i ngā ture whakataetae:
- Mō te hunga e āhei ana ki te haere ki ngā kura tuarua, kua pāhi i te whakamātautau mō te Kura Tiwhikete, ēngari me noho he wāhi kē i ō rātou ake kāinga kia tae ai ki ngā kura e whakawhiwhia ai ki te tohu mō te whakauru ki ngā Whare Wānanga hāunga mā te whakamātautau: Ko te wāriu o te āwhina, $120 i te tau mō te rua tau anake.
- Ko ngā tamariki kua pāhi i te whakamātautau mō te haere ki ngā Whare Wānanga ki te whai i ngā tohu mātauranga teitei o ērā tū kura: Ko te wāriu o te āwhina e $200 i te tau āpiti atu ki tētahi $200 atu anō mō te noho mehemea e āhei ana tērā. Ko ēnei āwhina mō te whā tau, ā, mehemea e akona ana mō ngā mahi Unuunu Niho, mahi Tākuta, mahi pērā me te Hanga Piriti, Hanga Rori rānei, ā, mō ngā mahi pera me te Tauira Whare, ka nekehia atu te roa o te āwhina ki te rima tau.
- Ko te hunga e whiwhi ki ngā tohu mātauranga o ngā Whare Wānanga (he pai kē hoki mehemea he tohu pērā me te M.A.), ā, e pīrangi ana ki te whakawhiti ki ngā Whare Wānanga o tāwāhi ki te whai i ngā tohu mātauranga kei kō atu, ā, he mea kē atu rānei e pā ana ki te hōhonutanga atu o te mātauranga, e āhei ana ki tētahi āwhina $1300 i te tau āpiti atu ki te utua o te haerenga atu mā runga tīma i Niu Tīreni nei ki tāwāhi me te hoki mai. Mehemea he moe wahine, he moe tāne rānei, he tamariki ā rātou, ka utua tētahi e $200 atu anō. Ko te roa o te wā mō tēnei āwhina he rua tau.
Inā ētahi kōrero mō ētahi o te hunga i whakawhiwhia ki ngā Karahipi o te Tahua Moni hei whakamaumahara ki a Te Moana Ngārimu rātou ko ōna hoa whanaunga o Te Ope Taua Māori.
He tokomaha taua hunga i whiwhi ki aua Karahipi, ā, ko ētahi kua whakaputaputa me ō rātou nā tohu mātauranga o ngā Whare Wānanga o Niu Tireni nei, ā, ko ētahi anō nō ngā Whare Wānanga o Āmerika me Ingarangi.
He pai kē pea kaua noa e whakahuahuatia ngā ingoa, kei pātai ētahi he aha hoki i whakaingoatia ai a Mea me ōna tohu mātauranga, ka mahue ko au me ōku tohu; nā reira, me tuku atu he mihi huihui ki a koutou katoa, ki te hunga i whiwhi ki ngā Karahipi nei i roto o ngā tau. Kia ora koutou katoa. Kia kaha ki ngā mahi hei hāpai i tō koutou iwi Māori. Kei te whakaputaputa i roto o te hunga karahipi nei te kaihautū mō ō tātou waka. Ko te tūmanako rā hoki tēnei i te wā i whiriwhiria ai e ngā iwi o te motu me pēnei, me kohi he moni hei karahipi whakamaumahara ki te hunga i hinga ki te pae o te pakanga, me kore noa e puta he kaihautū, mō ngāitāua mō te iwi Māori.
Inā ngā tuhituhinga a ngā tamariki i whakawhiwhia ki ngā hōnore mō te Whakataetae Tuhi Kōrero, arā, Ngārimu V.C. Essay Competition, o te tau 1966.
