He aha te tikanga o te koha?
Nā Matehaere Green nō Ngāti Porou ēnei pātai ki ngā kaumātua a Petuere Awatere Raroa rāua ko Hāpuku Karaka nō Rangitukia
Ko ngā pātai tuatahi ki a Petuere Awatere Raroa.
KAIPĀTAI: He aha te tikanga o te koha?
KAIWHAKAUTU: Te tīmatatanga o te koha ko ngā whakaaro e kohitia ana i nga karakia hei āwhina i ngā mahi ki Te Atua. Ko ngā minita, arā, ngā kaikarakia o Te Hāhi Mihinare, kāhore ō rātou utu. Ko ngā moni koha, ohaoha rānei, ka mahia hei āwhina utu i aua minita.
KAIPĀTAI: He aha te tikanga o te takoha?
KAIWHAKAUTU: I roto i te karakia, ka oti te kohi i ngā koha, ohaoha rānei, ka hoatu ki te minita kia whakatapuhia hei āwhina ngā mahi o te hāhi. Te whakawhaititanga o ngā koha katoa nei, ka karangahia he takoha.
KAIPĀTAI: Utu koha noa ētahi o ngā hāhi?
KAIWHAKAUTU: Te Hāhi Ringatū utu koha ai hei āwhina i te hāhi. Utu koha anō ai rātou hei āwhina i ngā tāngata kei te pāngia i te mate, hei para rānei i te aituā. Ka rapa āwhina te tangata, ka hoatu he kapa ki te tohunga. Mā te tohunga e karakia kia āwhinatia taua tangata. Ka karangahia te kapa rā, he koha. Ngā koha nei purua ai ki roto i tētahi whare iti. Te nuinga o ēnei whare iti, whakatūngia i runga maunga.
KAIPĀTAI: Pēhea koe i te whakatakoto koha i te marae?
KAIWHAKAUTU: Me tīmata au i te kōrero mō te whakatakoto koha i ngā tangihanga. Ka haere he ope ki te tangihanga, ka tū i te kēti kia karangahia mai rātou e te kaipōhiri. Ka karangahia, ka whakaeke te manuhiri ki mua i te marae, ka tangi ki te tūpāpaku, ka mutu te tangi ka noho ki runga i nga tūru mo te manuhiri. Ka whaikōrero mai te tangata o te paepae- kotahi, e rua, e toru rānei. Ka mutu nga kōrero o te paepae, ka pāhi mai rātou. Ka tū atu nga kaikōrero o te manuhiri, kotahi, e rua, neke noa atu rānei. Ka mutu te whaikōrero o ia ope whakaeke, ka whakatakoto i tana koha i mua o te marae; ka waiata i tana waiata, ka noho i runga i tōna tūru. Ka haere mai te tangata pupuri koha i roto i te paepae ka mau i taua koha. Ngā koha katoa nei hei āwhina i te utu i ngā raruraru o te paemate, te kāwhena, ngā kai, me ērā atu raruraru. Kia mutu te tangihanga ka whakaaro te whānau nā rātou nei te tangihanga he koha ki te marae hei āwhina i te utu i ngā raruraru o te marae, arā, i te hiko, ngā taputapu rānei o te marae.
KAIPĀTAI: Pēhea ngā koha mō ngā kawe mate?
KAIWHAKAUTU: I te whakatakoto koha mō te kawe mate, pērā anō i te tangihanga. Ngā koha katoa o te kawe mate hei āwhina i te utu i ngā kai, tae atu ki te whakaaro ki te marae.
KAIPĀTAI: Pēhea ngā koha mō te hura pōhatu?
KAIWHAKAUTU: Te whakatakoto i te koha mō te hura pōhatu pērā anō mō te kawe mate. Ngā koha katoa hei āwhina i te utu i ngā kai me te whakaaro anō ki te marae.
Nō te pātaitanga ki te kaumātua ki a Hāpuku Karaka mō te tikanga o te koha ki a ia, ka rere ōna whakaaro mō tēnei tikanga. Anei e whai ake nei āna kōrero.
Te kaupapa o te koha he whakaaro āwhina. He maha ngā tikanga whakatakoto koha ki Ngāti Porou.
Tuatahi, he āwhina i te kirimate i ngā tangihanga.
Tuarua, i ngā tangihanga, ka whakatakoto tētahi tangata i tana koha ka taunaha i tana koha ma ngā kiriwera, nā ka haere taua koha hei āwhina i ngā kiriwera; hei hoko wai whakahari pea.
Tuatoru, ko te koha mō ngā kawe mate. Āhua rite anō i te whakatakoto koha i ngā tangihanga.
Tuawhā, ko te koha e kī ana he niho tōna - he tamana. He koha whakahoki tēnei. Ka whakatakoto te koha me ōna tikanga. Meana he hui tāhau, he mārena rānei, ka haere mai he rōpū, iwi rānei, ka whakatakoto i tā rātou koha, me kī e rima rau tāra, ka tamana i a koe, to whānau, iwi rānei, kia haere ake ki tā rātou whakararu, hui, mārena rānei; ka haere koe, to whānau, iwi rānei, ki taua whakararu, hui, mārena rānei, ka whakahoki koe taua koha kua āhua nui atu i te rima rau tāra.
Tuarima, i ētahi wā, ka haere koe ki te marae ki tētahi hui, ka hiahia koe i te hoatu he koha ki te rōpū nā rātou te hui, kāhore koe e hiahia i te whakatakoto i tō koha i mua i te marae, kei riro kē tō koha i te marae; kia tae i te wā o te kai pea, ka karanga i te hunga e hiahia ana koe, ka hoatu to koha.
Tuaono, ko ō tātou mātua tīpuna, i tuku whenua ai hei koha hei tūnga wharekura marae, hōhipera rānei me ērā atu mahi a iwi.
Tuawhitu, i whakamauria i Te Reo Irirangi o Ngāti Porou ētahi o aku waiata, kōrero, i runga i ta rātou mihini whakamau waiata, ka kī mai rātou ki aua, ma rātou pea au e whakaaro i tētahi utu. Nō muri mai ka rongo au nāku i koha aku kōrero, waiata, mō Te Reo Irirangi o Ngāti Porou. Kei te pai noa iho ki aua tērā koha.
Tuawaru, i Te Hāhi Ringatū, ka utu koha te tangata he kapa ki te tohunga hei tiaki i a koe, i te haere koe i waho i tō iwi, kia kaua te raruraru e pā ki a koe. Ngā mate tūroro ka hoatu he koha ki te tohunga hei āwhina i te whakaora i te tūroro. Te Hāhi Rōpū, whakaaro koha anō ai ratou pērā i te Ringatū.
