Tute tuatara

Nā Kōhine Mackie

Tērā tētahi tangata ko Hō tōna ingoa, ko tāna mahi he āta tiro i tēnei ngārara te tuatara, e noho ana ki ngā moutere i waho o Aotearoa. I ngā pō ka haere a Hō ki te titiro ki ngā tuatara kia mātau ia ki ō rātau tikanga katoa. Ko te pō hoki te wā e kaha ana te haereere o te tuatara.

I tētahi pō ka kite a Hō i tētahi tuatara uwha e mahi ana i tētahi mahi rerekē. Kua kitea e te tuatara nei he pūkei oneone kōhatuhatu. I whakaaro pea te tuatara nei he pai tēnei wāhi hei whānau i āna hēki. Tuatahi ka rapirapihia e ia ngā oneone ngāwari, ā, oti noa he rua āhua rahi tonu. Ka mutu tēnei ka huri ia i tōna tinana kia pai ai tana rau i tōna whiore ki roto i te rua. Auē, kāhore anō tōna whiore i uru, nā, ka huri anō ia ki te kari, ka kari, ka kari, tino kaha ana ia ki te mahi. Hēmanawa ana ia, kaha ana ia, te whakaaro a Hō. E toru ngā pō, kātahi anō ka mutu tana kari i te rua. Aiā, kua pai i nāianei, kua tau ōna whakaaro, kua hōhonu te rua, kua uru tōna whiore ki roto. Kātahi anō te tuatara nei ka whakawhānau i āna hēki. Mutu ana te whakawhānau ka tāpuketia e ia āna hēki. Ka mutu te tāpuke ka haere ia.

tuatara

Kāhore te tuatara e rite ki te manu. Ka noho te manu ki te awhi i āna hēki. Kāhore te tuatara e āwangawanga mō āna hēki. Mutu ana tana tāpuke, haere atu ana. I te wā ka paopao āna hēki, mā ngā punua tonu rātau e kuhu, kāhore te matua e tiaki i a rātau. Ko tēnei tōna āhua.

Ko te pūkei oneone, me ngā kōhatuhatu hei mahi raima tōna tikanga. Nā tērā, kāhore a Hō i pīrangi kia whaikinotia ngā hēki a te tuatara. I te ata ka hoki a Hō, ka āta kari ia i ngā hēki kei pakaru tētahi, ka āta tango i ngā hēki, ka āta whakatakoto ki roto i tētahi tīni i roto ētahi o ngā oneone i karia e ia. Tētahi anō o ngā pīrangi o Hō, kia mōhio ia e hia te roa e tupu ana te tuatara i roto i tōna hēki, ā, paopao noa.

Ka wehe mai a Hō i te moutere nei ka mauria e ia ngā hēki ki tōna kāinga. Āta tiakina e ia ngā hēki nei, whakatūpato ia mehemea kei te haukū tonu ngā oneone i tāpuketia e ia ki ngā hēki i roto o te tīni. I waihotia e Hō te tīni ki raro i tōna moenga.

I noho ērā hēki ki reira mō te iwa mārama, kātahi anō ka tīmata ki te paopao. Te mea tuatahi i kite a Hō, he tīhae tino iti i runga o te anga, āhua kiri tōna rite. Ētahi wā kua huri te hēki, ā, ka tau anō. E rite ana ki te piripoho e whanga ana i roto i te kōpū o tōna whaea. Āhua roa tonu te tuatara e mahi ana, ā, kātahi anō a Hō ka kite atu i tōna māhunga e tīmata ana te puta ake ki waho o tōna anga.

Kei te kati tonu ngā karu o te tuatara. Kei mua, i runga o tōna ihu, ko tētahi tonga. Ko tēnei te kaiwāhi haere i te anga. Koinei tonu tētahi wāhanga o tōna ihu. Kāhore i roa, mau ana te titiro mai a ōna karu ki a Hō. He roa tonu te tuatara nei e nekeneke ana i roto i tōna anga kātahi anō tōna tinana katoa ka puta ki waho.

Auē, taukuri e, kua whānau te tuatara nei. Ko te katoa o tōna roa, kotahi rau mitamano. Kotahi tonu tētahi atu hēki i paopao engari kāore tēnei i ora, i mate tonu atu i te whānautanga mai. Ko te mea tuatahi anake i ora, ka whakaingoatia e Hō, ko Tute. Nga kai a Tute Mo tētahi wā poto ko nga kai a Tute ko te tōua o tōna hēki. I mau tonu tēnei ki tōna kiri mō ētahi rā ruarua, kātahi anō ka maroke, anā ka taka. I te pautanga o tēnei kai a Tute, ka riro mā Hō e rapu ētahi kai mana. Ko ngā kai, ko ngā ngāngara pēnei ki te ngata nei, me ētahi momo anuhe hoki.

He roa te wā e rapu ana a Hō i ngā kai tika mā Tute. Ka haere ia, ka hurihuri i ngā rākau maroke me ngā kōhatu hoki ki te tirotiro kai i raro. I ētahi wā, kei te whakaaro tonu a Hō mehemea he pai tēnei kai mā Tute, kua oma aua ngāngara ki raro i ētahi atu rākau, kōhatu rānei. Waimarie i puta mai ētahi tāngata, ka rongo rātau i ngā amuamu a Hō, ka āwhina rātau i a Hō ki te rapu kai mā Tute. I kawea mai e rātau ētahi momo noke, he pai hei kai mā Tute. Tino pai ki a Tute ngā noke, na te mea kāhore e tere oma i te wā e kai ana ia.

Te hokinga o Tute ki tōna kāinga tūturu

E toru mārama a Tute e manaakitia ana e Hō. Pārekareka ana hoki a Hō ki te kite atu i a Tute e tipu haere ana. I tēnei wā kua kite a Hō kua ngaro haere te tonga o te ihu o Tute, engari kua pihi ake he pihi ki runga i tōna tuarā. Kāhore anō a Hō kia mōhio mehemea he wahine he tāne rānei a Tute. I tēnei wā he uaua ki te mōhiotia.

Kua tae ki te wā hei whakahoki i a Tute ki tōna ake kāinga ki te moutere. Kua tae ki te wā e puta ai a Tute ki te kimi ora mōna. He mea uaua tērā ki a Hō, nātemea kua waia kē ia ki a Tute hei hoa mōna. Ahakoa tērā, mōhio tonu a ia, me kore e tika kia roa rawa a Tute e noho wehe ana ko ia ake.

Nā, ka whakahokia a Tute ki tōna moutere. Te tauranga atu o te waka o Hō ki te moutere, i āta kawea e ia a Tute ki uta. Nātemea e whiti ana te rā, e moe ana a Tute i roto i tētahi pouaka. Ka whakatakotoria e Hō taua pouaka ki roto i te maru o tētahi toka, ka waiho me tētahi taha o te pouaka e tuwhera ana. Pō ana, kua oreore a Tute, kua puta mai ki waho. Poto noa iho tana tirotiro haere, kua oma atu ki roto i nga toka. I āianei kāhore a Hō i te mōhio kai te pēhea a Tute. Ko te tūmanako kei te ora tonu.

He pitopito kōrero mō te tuatara

E ai ki ngā kōrero mō tuatara, no neherā anō ōna whanaunga, rātou i takahi i te whenua i te wā o ngā koeau. Ko te mea tino wehi, na tētahi aituā tino nui i matemate ai ngā koeau katoa. Ko tuatara anake i ora tonu. He aha rā tōna āhua i ora tonu ai ia?

E ai ki ngā kōrero mō tuatara, kia ngau a ia, e kore ia mō te huaki i tōna waha mō tētahi wā roa. E whā Hāora, nuku atu pea, kātahi anō ka huaki anō i tōna waha. Nō reira, mehemea ka tūtaki koe ki a tuatara, kia tūpato. Kaua e pā tata atu to ringa. Ko wai te heahea ka noho ki te tiaki i tōna ringa mō te whā hāora kia hāmama rānō te waha o tuatara? Ko wai hoki te mea pīrangi ki te hīkoi haere me te tuatara kei tōna ringa e tāwēwē ana?

E ai ki ngā kōrero, ko tēnei mea te tuatara he kai tonu i a rātau. I ētahi wā, ka kainga e ngā tuatara pakeke ngā mea punua. He mea rerekē pea tēnei, engari he kaupapa anō pea, kia kore ai e tini rawa rātau ki tō rātau kāinga noho.

E ai ki ngā kōrero mō tuatara, mehemea e kore ia e whakararutia i tōna wāhi noho, ka ora tonu ia mō te kotahi rau tau, neke atu. Ahakoa ēnei āhua ōna, kua ngarongaro haere te tuatara. Nā te aha? Nā te ngaro haere o ngā nohoanga pai mōna. Nā te kiore tūturu o Aotearoa me ngā kararehe hoki, i tau mai i te taha o ngā Pākehā, arā, te kiore, te kurī, te wīhara me te ngeru. E kai ana ētahi o rātau i ngā punua me ngā hēki a te tuatara. Ko te tuatara tētahi o ngā kararehe tūturu o Aotearoa. E whakaae ana tātau kia ngaro ia?

He kōrero anō e pā ana ki te tuatara Nā Te Pou Taki Kōrero tenei wāhanga

E ai ki te Māori, he tohu aituā, te kitenga tuatara. Ki a rātou anō, nā te hoariri i tuku hei takakino i te tangata.

E ai ki ētahi kōrero, hanga ana te teina o Tāne, a Peketua, i te hua o te tuatara. Nāna te pātai, "Me aha au i nāianei?" Whakahoki ana a Tāne ki tana teina, "Whakaorangia," kātahi, ka whakaorangia te hua, ka puta te tuatara.

tuatara

Ki tā te iwi Māori, ōrite te tuatara ki te manu, nātemea, ka whānau rāua tahi i ngā hua.

Ētahi atu kōrero mō te tuatara me tana nohoanga ki runga i te whenua. I te wā mahana rawa atu te wai i te rangi, whakatau iho te mango, te para, te tuatara me ētahi atu ki te whenua hei rapu wai mātaotao mā rātou. Kī mai te mango ki te tuatara, "Ko te moana o Tangaroa te wāhi tika mō tātou," engari whakahokia atu a tuatara, "Kāore, pai atu te whenua hei nohoanga māku." Nā, tautohetohe ana rāua, kāore i tae ki te whakaaro kotahi. Mea mai a mango, "Me noho ki runga i te whenua, ka whakakinongia koe e mātou katoa!" Whakahokia anō a tuatara, "Ka whakamana ahau, ka ora kē. Ka hī ika koe!"

He aha ētahi atu kōrero, whakatauākī rānei, e pā ana ki te tuatara?
