NGĀ MANU KŌRERO - NATIONAL SPEECH COMPETITIONS 2021

I tū tangata ai tēnei uki o Ngāti Tama ki Te Tauihu a Taarewa i-te-rangi i ngā Manu Kōrero i tū ki Te Papaiōea i tēnei tau. Kei te kura o Mana Tamariki a ia e kuraina ana. He tau 13.

Taarewa i-te-rangi is a descendant of Ngāti Tama ki Te Tauihu. She is a mokopuna of Mataaria Te Waari and Te Ahu Rei, who lived at Whakapuaka around the late 1890’s before returning to live at Waiokura Pā, near Manaia in South Taranaki.

Taarewa i-te-rangi is a student at Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Mana Tamariki in Palmerston North. She was placed second overall in the Te Pei Hurinui Jones - Senior Māori section at the national speech competitions behind Te Ākauroa Jacob from Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Te Rito i Ōtaki. Taarewa i-te-rangi plans to take a gap year in 2022 and then on to university to study Psychology.

She would like to take this opportunity to thank Ngāti Tama for their support during her schooling at Mana Tamariki. Tēnā koutou e te whānau whānui o Ngāti Tama ki Te Tauihu.
