Manu tangi ata
Nā Porua Green
I te tau 1990, ka whakatūria he rūma ako i te reo Māori ki Tūranga Wāhine, te kura tuarua mō ngā kōtiro kei te tāone o Tūranganui ā Kiwa. Ka rapaina he tangata hei whakairo, hei peita rānei, kia mōhiotia ai he kaupapa Māori kei te akona i roto i aua rūma. Ko Derek Lardelli o te Kura Tini o Te Tairāwhiti taua tangata. Ko ana kaimahi ko Moetahi Jones, ko Randal Leach, ko Richard Francis. Ka whakairotia te moko ki waho o ngā rūma Māori o Tūranga Wāhine. E hāngai ana te moko ki ngā wāhine Māori. Ki te āta titiro koe ki ngā waha, ka kite koe kei te hāmama katoa. Ko te take i pēnei ai, hei whakatō ki roto i ngā kōtiro ko te reo me rere i ngā wā katoa.
E toru ngā wāhanga o ēnei kōrero. Ko te tuatahi ko te wahine ira atua e pēnei nā:
ko Papatūānuku ko Hineahuone ko Hinetītama
Tīmata mai i a Rangi rāua ko Papatūānuku, kia puta mai ko Tāne. Ka hangaia e Tāne he wahine ko Hineahuone. Ka moea e ia hei wahine māna kia puta mai ko Hinetītama. Ka moe a Tāne i tana tamāhine i a Hinetītama, kia puta ki waho ko Hine Rauwharangi. Ka rapa a Hinetītama i tōna pāpā. I tōna mōhiotanga ko Tāne, ka mate a ia i te whakamā. Nā tēnei ka haere ia ki Rarohenga. Ka mōhiotia ia i tenei wā ko Hinenui te Pō. Auē taukuri e! Anei te whakapapa hei whakamārama i ngā kōrero.
Rangi = Papatūānuku.
Tāne = Hineahuone
Tāne = Hinetitama (Hinenui te Pō)
Hine Rauwharangi
Ko te tuarua o ngā moko nei e whakaatu ana i te wahine ira tīpuna, arā e whakaingoatia
iho nei.
Ko Hakirirangi
Ko Rongomaiawhia
Ko Hinenui
Ko Turahiri
Ko Uetupuke (Uetupue)
Ko Moetoi
Ko Hinetapuarau
Ko Rongomaipapa
Ko Tuwairua,
Ko Huturangi
Ko Hamoterangi
Ko Hinematioro
He ira tīpuna katoa ēnei. Nā, me hoki atu ki a Hakirirangi. Nāna i whakatō te kūmara i Muriwai. E rua ana māra kūmara, ko Manawarū, ko Araiteuru.
Ko Rongomaiawhia he wahine rangatira tonu. I moe ia i a Tāmanuhiri.
Ko Hinenui he wahine kaha ki te whakapipi kūmara i roto i ana rua. Ka moea e Tāmanuhiri a Hinenui hei wahine tuarua māna. Ko Tāmanuhiri he rangatira anō. Nō konei te ingoa o te iwi o Muriwai, arā, ko Ngai Tāmanuhiri.
Ko Turahiri i moe i a Rongowhakaata. Kotahi noa iho tā raua tamaiti. Anei rā te whakatauāki: "Kotahi nā Turahiri ripo ana te moana." Ko Rongowhakaata he rangatira anō hoki. Nō konei te ingoa o tērā iwi. Tokotoru ngā wāhine a Rongowhakaata, ko Turahiri, ko Uetepuke, ko Moetoi. He tuahine katoa ēnei.
Ko Hinetapuarau i moe i a Mahaki. Ko Mahaki he mokopuna nā Kahungunu. Nā konei ka puta tērā o ngā iwi o Tūranganui ā Kiwa a Te Aitanga ā Mahaki.
Ko Rongomaipapa i moe i a Ruapani. Tokorua ā rāua tamariki, ko ngā ingoa ko Tumaroroirangi rāua ko Ruarauhanga. Ka heke mai te kāwai o Tūhoe i ēnei. Ko Tuwairua te wahine tuarua a Ruapani.
Ko Huturangi te tamāhine a Te Whironui, te rangatira o te waka Nukutere, tētahi o ngā waka o Ngāti Porou. I moe a Huturangi i a Paikea, he tipua, he taniwha.
Ko Hamoterangi i moe i a Porourangi. Nō konei te ingoa o te iwi Ngāti Porou. Ka mate a Porourangi, ka moe a Hamoterangi i a Tahu Pōtiki, te teina o Porourangi. Ko Hinematioro ko ia te tipuna wahine o Te Kani ā Takirau. Nā Te Kani ā Takirau, te mokopuna a te kuia nei, te kōrero: "Ehara taku maunga i te maunga haere."
Tuatoru, ko te wāhanga ko te wahine ira tangata te tuatoru o ngā moko nei e pā ana ki te wahine ira tangata, arā, ko tātou ēnei ngā whakatupuranga wāhine o tēnei reanga. Ka mutu te wāhanga ki ngā moko.
Ko ngā kōwhaiwhai
E toru ngā momo kōwhaiwhai kei runga i ngā poupou. Kei runga i tētahi ko te mangō pare. He mangō te ika toa o te moana ki te whawhai. He pakari, ā, i te wā e matekai ana ia, ka kaha ake tana whawhai. Ko te hiahia kia rite ngā wāhine ki te mangō. Ānei rā te whakatauāki: "Me mate ururoa, kei mate wheke." Ko te mangō ka whawhai tonu mō te wā roa, engari ko te wheke ka paraha ngā waewae ka tere wawe te mate.separator
Kei runga i tētahi ko te ngutu kura. Ko tēnei e mea ana kia kaha te kōrero ā waha, kia nui atu te mōhio o ia wahine kia eke atu ia ki ngā taumata teitei. Anei te whakatauāki: "Whāia ko te iti kahurangi, ki te tuohu koe, me he maunga teitei." Ko te tuatoru ko te koiri me tōna takahuri haere. Ko tēnei hei whakahoki i ngā whakaaro a ngā wāhine ki ō rātou kāenga tupu, ngā maunga, ngā awa, ngā iwi, ngā marae, ngā whanaunga, ngā whānau hoki.
Ko ēnei rā ngā whakamārama mō ngā moko me ngā kōwhaiwhai e mau nei i runga i tō mātou whare a Ngā Manu Tangi Ata.
