He tītaha i ō parirau

Nā Wiremu Kaa i kohi ēnei o ngā kōrero a Moni Taumaunu i te marae o Whangarā i te tau 1977

He kōrero mō te haere ki te tangi, ā, mō te ako whaikōrero.

Kaipātai

Tēnā koe e Koro. Me tīmata mai pea a taua kōrero mō te tangata haere ki te marae, haere hoki ki te tangi.

Kaiwhakautu

Ā, ka pai ngā pātai. Mā te pātai hoki ka hua te kōrero. I tōku nei tamarikitanga mai, kāhore awau nei i mōhio ki te haere ki te marae. Ka pakeke haere awau, ka titiro awau ki te mahi a te kuia, a te koroua, e tangi tūpāpaku ana, kāore au e aro atu. Haere mai tonu awau hangai tau. Kia tae atu awau ki te kāinga ka mea mai aku matua ki awau, "Kāore koe i peka atu ki te tangi?"

"Aha, hei aha tena mea." Ko au i tera wa kua moe wahine, a, kua timata taku hanga tamariki, a, ka mate he tupapaku ki te marae, ka kite atu awau i nga kuia ra, e heke mai ana te kea o te ihu, te roimata, kahore awau e mohio he aha tena mea a te pouri, no te mea kaore ano kia pa ano ki awau. Puta atu awau ki te kainga, ka riria awau e aku matua. :Kaore koe i peka atu ki te marae ki te tangi?"

Kātahi ka mea atu awau, "E, kāore tahi."

Anei tā rātou kōrero. Tino kōrero tēnei i mau i awau mai i tērā rā tēnei rā:

"He tītaha i ō parirau.
 He tītaha i ō parirau."

Kāore awau e mōhio tēnā kōrero. Engari, nō te hāngaitanga o ngā mate nei ki taku tinana, kua tae mai taua pōuri e pōuri rā aua koroua rā, me aua kuia i te marae, e noho mai rā i runga i te tūpāpaku. Ka hoki ōku whakaaro ki tērā kōrero

E tītaha i ō parirau
 Nōhou i tēnei rā, nōku āpōpō.

Koirā tērā kōrero — ka pā te mate nei ki a au i tēnei rā, kei a koe āpōpō.

Ka hoki tōku whakaaro pōuri pēnei, ahakoa he aha – te poti, te kurī – i te mate i runga marae, ka peka awau ki te tangi. Tōku mōhiotanga tērā. Tērā tāima ki tēnei rā, ahakoa he aha te tūpāpaku, ka tae awau ki te tangi, ahakoa he whanaunga nōku, ehara i te whanaunga.

Nā, ka noho na awau i taku noho. Kāore awau e mōhio ki te whaikōrero i runga marae. Tērā anō ngā tūpāpaku o Reporua, ka takahia te whare, nā rā ka ngaro ki rō oneone, ko te mahi hoki o tērā pō, ka ngaro te tūpāpaku, he whakakoa i te paranihi, arā, ko te iwi nōna te tūpāpaku. Te mea hei whakakoakoa i a rātau, kia āhua makere ngā pōuritanga kei runga i a rātou, he waiata, ā, ngā mahi whakakoakoa. Nā ka titirongia ō mātou tīpuna i taua wā, koirā te wā tika hei akonga i a mātou ki te whaikōrero mā ngā tamariki. Kāti, ka karanga mai rātou.

"E, e Moni, ko koe tētahi, me tū koe ki te ako ki te whaikōrero, koia nei te wā tika, te wā pai."

E kī ana ki a tāua te Māori, he pō whakapakake kia paopaotai ngā haeretanga, kia wareware ngā haeretanga o te tangata kua mate, kia haruru, kia papā nga wāhi katoa. Hei aha? Hei whakarerekē i te āhuatanga o ngā pakeke i a ia e ora ana. Ka kite tonu hoki te wahine rānei, te tāne rānei, ngā tamariki rānei, kite atu rātou i tō rātou kōkā me tō rātou kōkā kua mate. Ka kite atu rātou e haere ana, e kōrero ana, kei te rongo tonu rātou, engari, ki te tae atu te iwi takahi whare ki roto, ka takahia mai, ka pakakē, ka aha, kei roto hei whakawareware i te pae tapu. Ka noho mātou e whā. Ko mātou i pikingia ki te whaikōrero. I awau e noho ana i raro, nui atu te kōrero i te haere mai ki awau. Kāore awau e mōhio ko tēhea kōrero hei kōrerotanga māku i te tuatahi. Kua tata mai te wā rā ki awau, ka tū tēnā, ka tū tēnā, ā, ka tae ki te wā ki awau. Kāti, ko tāku tūtanga ake, ka kite atu awau ki tāku pāpā me tāku kōkā e tiro mai ana ki awau, me taku mōhio atu ki ngā kōrero i roto i ō rāua puku ki awau.

"Tēnei tūtae e tū mai nei, he aha rā taua mea e pahure i a ia?" Koia nei tonu ngā kōrero i uru mai ki roto i ōku whakaaro. I kō mai i a rātou, ko ōku hoa haere ki te kura. Kei te kite atu awau i aku hoa e pēnei atu ana tētahi ki tētahi. I reira, ka oma ngā kōrero i roto i ōku mahara. Ka tū awau ko tāku kiri anake, ko taku tinana anake, ka rapa awau kia hoki mai ngā kōrero i roto i ōku mahara i awau e noho ana ki raro. Engari, i awau e tū rā, whakana atu rā, kore awau e mōhio he aha he kōrero māku. Ka noho awau ki raro me tāku hinapōuri i te mea, ki taku mōhio ka mutu anō te wā e karangahia mai awau ki te tū ki runga takiwā. I mua atu rā hoki, i ngā whare, kei te kōrero te tangata, tāku manako atu, kia pērā awau. Heoi anō, ka heke awau ki raro. Kāore te tangata e pīrangi ki awau. Kite tonu, kore nōku e mōhio ki te kōrero. Ka tangohia katoatia i roto i taku hinengaro tēnei mea a te kōrero.

Nā, tērā tētahi tīpuna o ōku i runga moenga, ko Takaanini te ingoa, i Mangahānea. Ka haere awau ki reira. Ā, ka kite mai te koroua rā i awau ka mea mai, "E taku tamaiti, haere mai rā, i haere mai koe kia kite ia a au." Kua kore hoki te koroua rā e kaha ki te haere. He tangata mōhio ki te kōrero, ki te whakapapa. Ka takoto te koroua rā ka mea mai, "E taku tamaiti, haramai rā." Ka pēnā mai ōna ringaringa ki awau, ka ringaringa atu awau ki te koroua rā. Ka mea mai ia, :He aha te take nāna koe i mau mai ki konei?"

Ka kī atu awau, "E Taka, he mate tōku."

"Tēnā, kōrero ki au to mate."

Ka kōrero awau ki a ia mō taku tūtanga ki runga. Tangohia katoatia ngā kōrero i awau. I awau e noho ana i raro, nui atu te kōrero, kāhore awau e mōhio ko tēhea kōrero hei kōrerotanga māku.

Whakarongo mai a ia ki awau, kātahi ka ki mai ia ki awau, "I a koe e tū ana koe ki runga, ko wai ngā tangata i kite atu koe?"

Ka kī atu awau, :Ko taku pāpā me taku koka. I reira tonu ka ngaro ōku whakaaro, wareware i awau āku kōrero rā i awau e noho rā ki raro me tāku mōhio tonu rā, ānei ngā kōrero a taku pāpā rāua ko taku kōkā: 'E te tūtae e tū mai rā ki runga. He aha rā tana e pāhure i a ia e tū mai nā?' Koinei tonu ngā kōrero i roto i āku whakaaro."

Ka mea mai ia, "Koinā tō raruraru"

"Tuarua, ōku hoa kura. Kei te kite atu awau e panapana ana ētahi i ētahi."

Kei te mea mai ki awau, "Tō rātau hoa e tū rā ki runga. Koia nei ngā raurau nei."

Kātahi ka mea mai ki awau, "Ki te tū koe i runga marae, kaua koe hei kite i te tangata. Ahakoa ko te Kuini kei te tiro mai ki a koe, kauaka koe e mōhio atu te Kuini kei reira. Akuanei ka hoki katoa mai ēnā kōrero ki a koe. Kaua koe hei pēnei he tangata kei reira kei te tinihanga mai, kei te whakatakune, kei te panapana, kei te hianga, kei te titiro mai ki a koe, kaua koe e kite i a rātou. Ko tō kōrero me kōrero e koe. Akuni ka haere noa iho mai pēnā noa a te kōrero, ka maringi mai, ka rite ki a koe i te wā e noho ana i raro."

Kātahi ka kōrero atu ki a ia (e mōhio hoki awau ki te kōrero Pākehā, no te mea, i te kura hoki awau), "You mean to say, to be solemn?"

"Āe! Koia nā taua kōrero. Kia ū koe ki runga i ō kōrero i whakaarotia koe i a koe i raro. Ki te kore e ū, ki te parori ō whakaaro i a koe e tū ana, ka tangohia katoatia atu i a koe."

I tērā rā mai ki tēnei wā, kua mōhio awau ki te kōrero i runga i tana kōrero, "To be solemn — stick to the point." Koia nā tāku kōrero ki a ia.

"Āe! Koia nā. To kaupapa i whakaarongia e koe i a koe i raro, koinā to kaupapa." Kātahi ka ki mai ia, "Tuarua, kauaka koe hei whakahoki anō i tō kōrero, 'Haere mai, haere mai, haere mai. Haere mai, haere mai, haere mai.' Ki te ki tētahi tangata, 'Haere mai, haere mai, haere mai,' me huria e koe ō kōrero. He takeo tēnā kōrero ki te tū atu te tangata ki runga, 'Haere mai, haere mai, haere mai.' Tū atu te tangata, ' Haere mai.' Nā wai rā, kua hoha te 'Haere mai, haere mai, haere mai.' Me tārai koe ki te huri i ō kōrero he kōrero kē, kia aha ai? Kāore hoki koe e ora i te mīti anake, me hoatu he parareka hei kīnaki ka tika.

Tuatoru, kaua koe hei maremare, he rapa kōrero hoki tērā."

E toru ngā mea i kōrero mai a ia ki awau, mau tonu awau i tēnei rā. Nā reira tonu awau, nāna i toki ake, me taku hiahia tonu hoki kia tū awau ki runga marae. Ā, mau i awau tērā mea a te whaikōrero.

He pātai

  1. He aha ngā tohutohu e toru a Takaanini ki te kaikōrero?
  2. Ki whea ngā wāhi tika mō te rangatahi ki te ako ki te tū ki te whaikōrero?
  3. He aha te whakataetae mō ngā kura tuarua e āhei ana ngā taitamariki katoa ki te tū ki te whaikōrero?
  4. Ki ōu whakaaro, he painga anō, kāore anō, kāore rānei, kei roto i ēnei mahi? He aha aua mea?
