TE AO MĀRAMA

Rāhina te 27 o hŪrae

Vol. 78 Issue 16

He tohu mamae, he tohu maumahara: Tēnei te whakairi i ngā parekawakawa o ngā mate kua whetūrangi ki te pō, ōtira ki ngā kanohi kua tae, kua wehe i tō tātou whare wananga nei. He tohu maumaharatanga ki ngā mate, ki ngā mata o ngā tauira i eke nei ki te paepae tapu o Rangiāhuta.

This year’s publications of Te Ao Mārama is brought to you by Ngāi Tauira, in an annual colloboration with Salient. This year’s theme is “He aha te māramatanga i to Ao”; “What is most important thing in your life?”

Tēnei te aitua, te mamae i pā mai i a mātou Te Herenga Waka, i a mātau a Ngāi Tauira. Kua horo te whatumanawa, kua haehae te manawa e te parekura.

Ko tēnei te reo hotuhotu, ko tēnei te reo taretare ka puta i to wehenga atu e te tama, a Flaun Taurima. Noho mai tō wairua i te pō nakonako e karangaranga, e powhiri ana, e tangi āpakura atu ki tōu haerenga.

Ko koe rā te maunga tiketike mai Kahungunu, hoki tō wairua ki ngā titiko o te rangi.

Hoe to waka huia ki ngā wahi tōtoko o te mata o te ao, ki ngā whenua kamehameha a ō matua tipuna. Tae atu to waka ki rangitūhāhā, a, ki a Hawaiki nui, Hawaiki roa, Hawaiki pamamao.

Hoki atu rā ki o mātua tipuna, haere, haere, haere atu rā.

Me waihoa te hunga mate ki te hunga mate, te hunga ora ki te hunga ora. Tēnā koutou katoa.

The first issue of Te Ao Mārama was published in 1974. Ngāi Tauira, the Māori Students Asssociation of Victoria University, strategised ways to promote and uplift our language throughout Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori. The journey then began, working alongside Salient, to produce a magazine that not only enhanced our beautiful languge but celebrated our up and coming writers and language learners. The ultamate goal was to produce an issue that was totally immersed in Te Reo Māori.

Though this hasn’t been the case this year, every single piece that has been contributed to this issue has come from a stand point of Te Ao Māori me ōna tikanga. The name “Te Ao Mārama” comes from a myth that Māori hold very close to our culture and our identity. In the beginning, in the period of darkness, nothingness, there was no sun or moon. Papatuanuku lay bear on her back, Ranginui lay on top of her, leaving their children between the two.

The world (Te Ao) was dark; there was no room for growth, no room for warmth and no room for prosperity. Tanemahuta, the god of knowledge, separated his parents, not because of his own selfish needs but beacuase he wanted there to be light in this world. So the world passed on from darkness of Te Po into the world of the light and living, Te Ao Mārama. This prestigious name has been bestowed on Salient for Māori Language week.

Tāne-te-wānanga Tāne-te-pūkenga Nāna i kake ki te titoko o te rangi Ringihia ai ngā kete Ka tiritiria, ka poupoua Ki a Papatūānuku Te hihiri i te mahara e!

Tiwhatiwha te pō, kāniwhaniwha te pō Tahuri te pō ka ao, ka ao, ka awatea, Ko Te Ao Mārama, e tū!

Ka tū whakahīhī au i raro i te tomokanga, i te waharoa a Te Apa Maareikura a Maui Tikitiki a Taranga. Ko te kore, ko te kore-terawea, ko te kore-te-wiwa. Ko au, ko Papatuanuku anake i tēnei ao. Nā te tūngāwiri o te kiri, nā te ānini o te ūpoko ka noho i te makariritanga o te pō.

Ka koekoe te tui, e ketekete te kākā, e kuku te kereru. Ka rangona e au te tiotio o te manu e karanga mai ana i te whare nui. Ko te reo o ngā manutaki ka whakawhārikitia i tōku haerenga i runga i te maraeātea.Ka takoto ōku tapuwae ki te wāhi o Ruka, o Paaka hoki. E hīkoi whakamua ana au ki runga i te kāinga tapu o Tū-matauenga, nā he Pō-uriruri, he Pō-nakonako, he Pō tangotango tōnu. Ka tae au ki te paepae ka titiro whakamua ki te whare tipuna e whakamaru ana i ngā taonga mai i ngā rangitūhāhā. Ka tatari au i runga i te mahau o te whare, te wāhi o te Pō-tahuri-atu-ki-te-taiao. Ko te nekehanga mai i waho, ki rō whare ko te pō-tahuri-ki-te-taiao ki te Ao Mārama. Ka tūhono ngā pou i te tāhūhū me te tuāpapa o te whare. Hei runga, hei raro.

Kārohirohi ana te wairua i te mahanatanga o Te Tumu Herenga Waka. Ki rō tēnei whare ka tū ake te pou tāhū, te pou tokomanawa, ā, ko te pou tūārongo.

TUMUAKI Geneveine Wilson Te Wehi Wright

Kāore i ārikarika ngā tini tutukinga ā Ngāi Tauira i tēnei tau. Heoi anō, ahakoa ngā painga, me he toka tū i te rere o te awa, he taupā hoki kua tō i te rere o ngā mahi mō te tau. Hei tīmatanga korero pea, ahakoa ngā piki me ngā heke, kua kino tonu te rere o ngā wai o te awa o Ngāi Tauira. Ko tētahi o ngā tino whakatutukitanga ia tau, ia tau ko Te Ao Marama, koia rā te mata ō te akonga ki te ao e mārama ai ngā āhuatanga o tōna anō ao. Me mihi ka tika ki a Te Pō me ngā ringa kākā e whakairo ana i ngā paetara o tēnei māheni ā tātou. Otirā ki ngā kaiwhakaniko o ngā kupu, ngā kaitārai i ngā korero, koutou akonga mā, tēnā koutou. Nō reira, e Te Pō Mārie o Te Ao Mārama, tēnā rawa atu koe, otirā tēnā tātou katoa.

The year so far has brought many significant triumphs. These triumphs have been the result of reactive and proactive responses to many significant challenges that have laid before us. We cannot commend enough our extensive whānau across VUW that have aided us in our journey thus far. We would like to take this opportunity to thank our Pipitea whānau, Nga Rangahautira (Law) and Ngā Taura Ūmanga (Commerce) and also Te Rōpu Āwhina (Architecture) for holding the fort down the hill, as these relationships have been one of the main focuses for our respective Executives, it is awesome to see, the kotahitanga that has developed between our campuses.

The first task that we decided to push came well before we began our term as Tumuaki Takirua (I bet Te Wehi didn’t know that he was about to lay out a wero that he would go on to partake in).

This task came in the form of an idea called “Ngā uaratanga o Te Huinga Tauira”. This idea stemmed from the premise that not enough tauira were acknowledging tikanga and te reo Māori at Te Huinga Tauira. The idea was intended to uplift and encourage the use of our mother tounge and customs by remembering and celebrating the many feats of our many Māori ambassadors that shared a similar desire—their passion for things Māori. The major aspects of this taonga would encompass; te reo, ngā tikanga, ngā whanonga, which would ultimately create that perception known as wairua Māori, and help with waiaro Māori.

well. Therefore, everything we have done so far this year has been in line with “Ngā Uaratanga o Te Huinga Tauira”.

This new found lease on life has been the driving force behind our desire to re-ignite the flames of connection with all the Māori Departments here at VUW. This has led to many collaborations and events with Te Herenga Waka Marae and Toihuarewa, as well as Te Pūthi Atawhai. These relationships have all been influential in many of our successes this year, and to some extent have been the reason for our success. Not enough can be said about the staff at the Marae! We realise now that we are only one of the many strings in the web of Māori development here at VUW. To our Executive, our squad leaders, our waka paddlers. Your mahi so far this year has been massive (keep it up!) at times stressful (yeah… let’s stop that) but mostly massive! You are what keeps us going when times get tough! As the saying goes “he uru kāhika ki te ngāhere, he uru tāngata ki te pā”.

As professional hui-goers, critics, mentors, inspirational speakers (as Te Wehi would like to think), consultation document writers, negotiators, zombies (with those long hours without a decent moe), event planners and in our spare time, tauira, we’ve been blessed with a contingent of tauira that uphold our cultural identity that celebrates those who have gone before us, which in turn celebrates us as an Association. It is these small acts of recognition of our culture within a foreign space that oozes inspiration and instils our passion to be the best Tumuaki we can be. The focus on things Māori is essentially what our tauira yearn for and is what sets us apart, after all, everything we do is for our tauira.

“He muka tuitui i te korowai whakamarumaru i te hunga e whanake ana”.

Although this task was intended for Te Mana Ākonga, it also turned out to be a task that we needed to address internally as editor@salient.org.nz

Te Herenga Waka Marae Ko Te Herenga Waka tō tātou marae i te whare wānanga nei. He whare wānanga i ngā kaupapa katoa o te ao e noho nei tātou, he tāhūhū kōrero anō mō ngā kōrero o nehe. E kīia ana ma ngā tauira e kuhu atu ana ki tōna poho e whakaara ake ōna pou, kei reira anō te hunga e kōrerotia nei hei toko ake i tōna tāhūhū tau ake nei, tau ake nei. Anei e whai ake nei ngā kōrero mō tēnei hunga e mōhiotia ai ko wai a wai.

Whaea Te Ripowai Higgins (Tūhoe) Kātahi anō ka whakanuia te tau rua tekau mā rima o Whaea Te Ripowai i tēnei whare wānanga. Ko ia te taurima o tō tātou marae, kua iwa tau e noho ana i tēnei o ngā tūranga. I mua atu i tēnei, ko ia te tumuaki o Te Kawa a Māui. Arā atu anō ōna pūkenga: he J.P. ia, he pūkenga reo, he pūkenga tikanga, he wānanga reo, ko ia tētahi i te whakaaratanga ake o te kaupapa o Te Ataarangi, i te taha o Ngoi mā, o Te Heikōkō mā. Ināianei, ko tāna mahi he tiaki i tō tātou marae e mau ai ngā tikanga Māori, e Māori anō ai te noho a ngā ākonga Māori e noho ana i te whare wānanga. Nā reira, kia kaha te kōrero Māori ki a ia! Me he pātai kei a koe mō te reo Māori, mō ngā tikanga Māori, mō te marae rānei, ko ia tonu te tohunga rawa o aua kaupapa katoa me patapatai e koe. Ā, mēnā e pīrangi ana koe ki te whakatū hui ki te marae, hoake ki a ia!

Kathy (Gran) Samuel (Raukawa)

Ko Kathy te Kaiārahi Matua o te marae, ā, ko tana tino mahi he tiaki manuhiri, he tiaki tauira, he whakahaere i ngā mahi a te marae. Ko Grandma, ko Gran rānei ōna ingoa kārangaranga, he mea tapa ki ēnei ingoa e tētahi tauira o mua (kāore au e whāki atu ko wai te tauira nāna te ingoa, mā koutou anō e rapu, e kimi!). I te nuinga o te wā kei te whare kai o Ngā Mokopuna a Gran e tiaki ana i ngā mahi a Tahu, he tohunga tēnei ki te taka kai. He pou tikanga anō tēnei, kua matomato te tipu mai i te ao Māori.

I tua atu, ko ia te kaiwhakahaere i ngā Whare Whānau o te whare wānanga nei. Me he pātai āu mō te whakahaere hui, mō te whakatū pōhiri, mō ngā tikanga Māori, mō ngā Whare Whānau rānei, hoatu ki a ia!

Monoa Taepa (Te Arawa, Te Āti Awa, Ngāti Whātua, Te Rarawa) Ko Monoa te Mata Ahupae o te marae. Ko ia tētahi e āwhina ana i te taurima ki te whakahaere i ngā hui o te marae kia pūtahi te haere – e kore te paku aha e mahue atu i ngā whatu hōmiromiro nei! I ētahi wā kua tutū te puehu i te tini o ngā tāngata, kua ture kore, kei wīwī, kei wāwā ngā whakaaro o te hunga i tae atu - ko te reo o Monoa te reo whakatau i te katoa e tau ai te mauri o te hui.

Te Aroha Teepa (Tūhoe)

Ko Nani Noti tētahi o ngā kaiārahi o te marae. Ko ia tērā e whakapau kaha ana kia hāneanea te noho a te tangata e kuhu atu ana ki te marae – tauira mai, manuhiri mai rānei.

Kia kuhu atu ana koe me te kite i te whare kua mā katoa, kua mahana, kua whakaritea te rorohiko mō te karaehe, nā ngā kaiārahi tērā!

Nā mātou, Te Whānau o Te Pūtahi Atawhai Ki a koutou Te hunga taiohi Māori, nei rā te mihi ki a koutou!!!

To all of our Māori students, salutations!!!

Ko mātou ngā Kaiakiaki Māori o Te Pūtahi Atawhai, hei hapai, hei manaaki, hei awhina I a koutou ngā tauira Māori o tēnei wānanga, Te Upoko o te Ika a Maui.

We are the Māori support team here at Te Pūtahi, here to support, elevate and nurture all Māori students here at Vic Uni.

I tēnei tau ka whakaneke mātou ki tētehi wharehou, I the whare-nui o te Student Union, kei te papa tuarua. He wāhi ataahua mō ngā tauira ki te āta arotahi ki a koutou mahi. He maha hoki ngā rorohiko mō ngā tauira hei tiaki I a koutou.

This year we moved into the Student Union Building on the second floor. It is a lovely space for students to focus on their mahi. There are lots of computers to help with students’ mahi.

Heoi anō ko te manako o tō mātou wāhi, Ka rongo I te pai. Koirā te tino pūtake o Tē Pūtahi Atawhai, he wāhi pai mō ngā tauira ki te ako, ki te rangahau, ki te kōrero kia pai ai oū koutou mahi I te wānanga.

However, the aspiration for our space is to feel comfortable. This is the underlying philosophy of TPA, a place for students to learn, to research and to talk to other students about their studies here at Vic.

Nā reira tauira mā, kei te wharenui o Student Union mātou e noho ana. Naumai, haere mai, whakatau mai ra.

So students of Vic Uni, we are in the Student Union Building—come down, you are most welcome.

Ānei he kōrero whakakapi, “Ma te tuakana ka totika te teina, ma te teina ka totika te tuakana”

meant that there is a whānau on campus who supports and encourages students who are Māori to participate and be guided through an exploration and expression of their Māoritanga in the law. And to be there to provide a voice for Māori students on campus.

Ngā Rangahautira Nā Karli Rickard rāua ko Tyson Hullena

For those that have gone before us and shown us that Law school is a place that we can thrive in and succeed, we thank you.

We thank you for the creation of an Association dedicated entirely to us.

We thank you for the struggles you went through that have allowed us to have that much more of an opportunity to not lose sight of our cultural identity.

We thank you for the role models you have provided that go beyond racial stereotyping.

And we thank you for showing us what it really means to be a Law student who is Māori.

Ko Ngā Rangahautira tētahi rōpū e tautoko ana i ngā mahi a ngā akonga Māori e whai ana i te tohu ture. Ko ngā mahi a Ngā Rangahautira, he tautoko, he akiaki i ngā akonga ki te whai i tēnei rākau ture a te Pākehā. He rōpū awhina he rōpū tautoko i ngā akonga Māori ki te whakanui i tō tātou Māoritanga i roto i te ture.

Ngā Rangahautira (or NR for both time and pronunciation’s sake) is the creation of some particularly exceptional people.

Beginning their journey through a predominantly Pakeha world, NR was birthed to assist and support Māori Law students with their studies at Law School by fostering a commitment to Tikanga Māori and ngā ture Pākehā.

And like all great things, it survived.

For many students, the journey through Law School can be filled with experiences of the occasional low of getting mediocre marks, the regular occurrence of morning sunrises and doomed attempts to cover a trimester’s worth of reading in two days. But for Māori, being a Law student not only means experiencing those things other students experience, but also a constant conflict between your culture and westernised academic ways. Inevitably, it is easy for any Māori student to be swept up in the hype and academia prevalent at Law School and effectively be colonised, losing sight of their culture. Therefore, it is entirely a matter of individual choice as to whether you maintain your cultural identity throughout Law School. www.salient.org.nz

Sometimes, it is a tough decision to make.

Though you may see yourself in many different lights, as Moana Jackson once said, the decision comes down to whether you want to identify as a Māori Law student or a Law student who is Māori.

Yes, there is a distinction (of course, we are Law students).

To take the words of a Law student who so greatly enunciated the distinction, Mr. R Kohere (in a wonderful blog he writes entitled “Courted”), The former encapsulates the thought that racial preconceptions and misconceptions characterise me more than my endeavour to study the law. The latter, however, encapsulates the complete opposite: that I pursue the law just like every other Law student, and yet my culture—my Māoritanga—anchors me. The distinction is powerful. And it should always be emphasised. After all Māori are learning about a legal system which is inherently colonial and inherently ‘foreign’.

The choice inescapably defines who you are for the rest of your journey throughout Law School and maybe your professional life.

Don’t get us wrong, Law School is a wondrous place and the position occupied by Māori is a privileged one, but the struggle is inevitably real.

Thus the creation and survival of NR has

Once a member of Ngā Rangahautira, always a member of Ngā Rangahautira.

But with all that said and done here is what we consider the Top 10 Perks of Being a Law Student who is Māori: 1.

2.

3.

4.

5.

6.

7.

8.

9.

You know where all of the free food is.

Track pants and hoodies create a legit uniform.

You can talk about Māori “things” without feeling racist.

You genetically inherited knowledge of all things that are Treaty of Waitangi related.

You are of course extremely knowledgeable about law-tikanga interactions.

All Māori Law students are cousins; incest is a Pākehā concept.

You can name every Māori student at Law School.

You revel in the irony of the Maori and Pacific Island Room being the safest place in Law School.

Yip, whānau lawyers are a thing.

And perhaps the greatest perk, 10. Never being Socratically called on in a lecture because your name is “Rongomaianiwaniwa” and the lecturer does not want to murder the Māori language.

Te Hōhaieti o te reo Māori ki Wikitōria Nā Vincent Olsen-Reeder

E kaha kōrerotia ana a Ngā Tamatoa nō te Whare Wānanga o Tāmaki Makaurau. Mōhio rānei koe ki te rōpū nā tēnei wānanga nei, Te Rōpū Reo Māori? Tēnā, kia whakamāramahia e au.

Whakaahua 2. Te Ao-Marama, Putanga 37 (23), Hepetema 1974 (www.nzetc.vuw.ac.nz).

1969 te tau. I puta i a Koro Dewes te whakaaro kia whakatūria tētahi rōpū kōkiri i ngā kaupapa o te wā ko te reo te take. Ka hua mai ko Te Rōpū Reo Māori. Hui ai rātou ki te whare hākinakina (Club Kelburn) ki te ako.

Kāore he karaehe reo, he marae hei tautoko i te reo Māori i tēnei wānanga, korekau!

Nāwai, ka puta te hiahia whai i tētahi kaupapa tōrangpū hei whakamana i te reo Māori i ngā kura, i te pouaka whakaata. Ka whakaritea e te Rōpū tētahi petihana hei tuku ki te Karauna. Ko Ngā Tamatoa te ringa āwhina.

Neke atu i te 30,000 ngā tāngata i tohu i te petihana nei. Ā, nō te 14 o Hepetema 1972 whakatakotohia ai te petihana nei ki mua i te whare pāremata. I tapaina tēnei rangi, te 14 o Hepetema, ko te Rā o te Reo Māori. I te tau 1975 ka huri te wiki i taka ai te 14 o Hepetema hei wiki whakanui i te reo Māori. Arā, ko te Wiki o te Reo Māori tēnā.

I whakaputaina anō e te Rōpū Te Ao Marama, tēnei pukapuka tonu e pānui nei koe! Mōhio koe, kotahi anake te niupepa reo taketake i te ao, ko Te Ao Marama tonu!

Whakaahua 1. Te Ao-Marama, Putanga 37 (23), Hepetema 1974 (www.nzetc.vuw.ac.nz).

1986 te tau. I rangona te kerēme reo Māori (Wai11) ki Te Herenga Waka Marae, me Waiwhetū Marae. I te mutunga iho, ka whakaturehia te reo Māori hei reo whai mana i te tau 1987.

I tēnei tau, kua whakatūria anō te Rōpū – me tōna ingoa ake, Te Hōhaieti o te reo Māori – hei whakamihi, hei whakarangatira i ēnei Ika a Whiro i whakapau kaha mō tō tātou reo, mā tātou hei whai ā muri ake nei – he tauira noa iho i taua wā, pēnei i a tātou.

E meatia ana kia kaua e kōrerotia tō ake reka. Heoi, e tika ana anō me tuku ēnei kōrero kia rere, hei wānanga mā tātou i waenganui tonu i a tātou, matawhāiti nei. I ora te reo Māori i tēnei whare wānanga, i āna tauira. Me te aha, i te korenga o ēnei kōrero e rangona kua wareware, kua ngaro! He aha te hua o tērā?

Kia maumahara tonu ki ēnei kaupapa nā Te Rōpū Reo Māori i whakatū, mā tātou hei pīkau. Ko te pātai ia, māu rānei e hiki, ka tukuna rānei e koe mā Wareware e tiaki?

Te Kura Reo ki te Ūpoko o te Ika Nā Te Wehi Wright

“Ko tōku reo tōku ohooho, ko tōku reo tōku māpihi mourea, ko tōku reo tōku whakakai mārihi, ko tōku reo tōku waka kawe, ko tōku reo ko au, ko au ko tōku reo” Nō te 29 o Pīpirī karapinepine ai ētahi o ngā ngākau nui o te reo Māori ki Te Herenga Waka Marae. Ko te kaupapa, ko te reo. Nāna anō te karanga, nāna anō te tono, nāna anō mātou i whakakotahi ai ki te pātaka iringa kupu, iringa kōrero.

Tūāpapa Ko te Kura Reo Māori he kaupapa e aro hāngai ana ki te tangata whenuatanga o te reo ki roto anō i te tangata. Ka whakaritea he mātanga reo hei whakaako i ētahi kaupapa e pā ana ki te reo me ōna tikanga, ka rua, ka whakarōpuhia ngā tāngata ki tā tō rātou reanga kōrero, ka toru, he hanga pokapū te āhua ako nō reira ka whakawhiti ia rōpu ki ia kaupapa ako tae noa te wā ka mutu ia kaupapa i a rātou.

Engari, atu i ngā kaupapa me ngā pūkenga reo, ko te tino painga o te Kura Reo ko te noho rūmaki a te tangata ki roto katoa i te reo Māori ao noa, pō noa. Mā reira e noho tangata whenua te reo ki roto i a ia.

Ko ēnei Kura Reo he mea akiaki nā Te Taura Whiri i te reo Māori, ā, ka whakatūria puta noa i te motu. Ko tā rātou tino aronga ko te reo kia tika, ko te reo kia rere, ko te reo kia Māori. Nā runga i tēnei whakaaro, ka pupū ake te hiahia ki roto i a mātou te hāpori reo Māori o Wikitōria (Te Herenga Waka, Toihuarewa, Te Kawa a Maui, Ngāi Tauira) ki te whakatū i te Kura Reo tuatahi o Wikitōria.

Tāhūhū I tīmata te hui i te ahiahi o te Mane te 29 o Pīpīrī, ā, ka mutu wawe i te ata o te Taite te 2 o Hōngongoi. I eke ngā akoranga katoa, me te mea, tōnā 30 ngā ākonga i whai māramatanga i ngā mahi.

He uaua ka tohu i tētahi āhuatanga nō roto i te huhua i tino eke, engari ko tētahi e pūkana mai ana ko te pō tautohetohe i tū i taua Wenerei. Ko ngā kaupapa he mea hanga nā ngā kaiwhakahaere. Nā Ahorangi Rāwinia Higgins ngā tautohetohe i whakawā. Ko te take ka whakanuia te pō rā, i te mea i kite i ngā pūkenga o ngā ākonga ki te whiri i ngā kaupapa katoa i akona e rātou i taua wiki, ka mutu, i eke katoa.

E kī ana te kōrero, “nā ngā mahi o muri, ka pai ai a mua”. Nā te pai o te Kura Reo nei, kua kite mātou i ngā painga o roto i ēnei tūmomo kaupapa, nā whai anō ka tipu te hiahia kia whakahaere kaupapa pēnei e tangata-whenua ai i tō tātou reo ki Wikitōria, ā, ki te ao whānui hoki. Nā reira mātou e kapo ake ana i ēnei taonga kia whiua ki te ao, whiua ki te rangi, whiua ki ngā iwi katoa.

Hei kapinga kōrero, e tika ana kia whakanuia ērā i whakapau kaha ki te whakatū i tēnei kaupapa o tātou. Arā ngā mihi ki ngā pūkenga, me ngā ākonga i tae a tinana mai, ēngari me mihi hoki ki te whānau o Te Herenga Waka, nā rātou mātou i manaaki, i atawhai, hei āpititanga ko te pūtea tautoko nā te tari o Piri hoki. Tērā te kōrero, “ko te amorangi ki mua, ko te hāpai-ō ki muri”.

Me he wai karekare, i uaua te taha whakahaere mō te Kura Reo nei i te mōhio, he ruarua noa iho pea ngā ākonga, me ngā kaiako e noho tonu ana ki Pōneke i te wā o ngā hararei. Heoi anō, i te ururoa o ngā kaiwhakahaere, ka ū tonu, nā wai rā ka tū te Kura Reo tuatahi ki te Ūpoko o te Ika.

E kore a mihi e mū mō koutou mā ngā papa whakawhiti wai o te kaupapa nei, me he waka haurua, ko koutou mā ngā kaikawe o ēnei taonga, me tēnei onge kāmehameha a tātou.

Ko Aunty Noti, nāna te hōhonutanga o te ao wairua i ruku ki ngā aho o te ao kiko, e hono ai ngā tikanga onamata ki ēra mohoa nei.

Whānau Days: Nā Taylor Wanakore

Pūrangiaho Nā Maia Te Koha

As a student who is only starting out at university, learning to manage heavy workloads and keep up with lectures and tutorials, life can be both stressful and intimidating. We first years are still trying to find our feet, and for many of us it is our first time away from family. For many of our Māori students, our Kelburn oncampus Marae, Te Herenga Waka, is a place of rest and gives a sense of home.

On 20 March, students of all ages were given the opportunity to attend the Pūrangiaho event, held at Te Herenga Waka Marae and organised by the executives of Ngāi Tauira, the Māori Students’ Association.

This wānanga was a chance for students to come together and learn about the rich heritage of Te Herenga Waka Marae and some of the past students who have also attended Victoria University, and the history of Ngāi Tauira. Guest speakers included whaea Te Ripowai Higgins, taurima and manager of Te Herenga Waka Marae; Marie Cocker, manager of Te Putahi Atawhai Student Services; and Te Wehi Wright, one of the presidents and leaders of Ngāi Tauira.

Not only was this wānanga held to offer students an insight into the history of our Marae and the success of past Māori students, it was an opportunity to look at where we see Ngāi Tauira in the future, and to work on our succession plan to see our Māori community at Victoria grow and prosper. There were many ideas on how we, as a community, could work to ensure the success of our peers in school and reach those who have yet to join Ngāi Tauira.

Our goal in the upcoming future is to see our community grow and strengthen. Ngāi Tauira firmly believes in whānaungatanga (a sense of family connection), Māori and peer success, and Māori recognition; being proud of our culture, heritage and Māori community. Ngāi Tauira works to build strong bonds with all its members and create a care-free and welcoming environment for all students. Ngāi Tauira is a family that welcomes, with open arms, new students every day.

Pūrangiaho was an opportunity for students to feel that sense of belonging both Ngāi Tauira and Te Herenga Waka offer to its students. It was a chance to meet new friends, learn about our Marae’s construction and rich history, and successful Māori students of Victoria University. Now, with this new found knowledge, we hope to guide Ngāi Tauira and our Māori community down the path of success and a prosperous future.

Kei ngā manu e kai ana i te matauranga tēnā tātou! Kua whakaterea e Ngāi Tauira he kaupapa hei whakahono i ngā tauira o tēra taumata o tēra taumata o te whare wananga nei. Ko te kaupapa e kīia nei ko ngā “Whānau Days”. Kei tērā 30 ngā tūranga e wātea ana mō ngā tauira, ēngari kua rahuitia ngā tūranga 15 mō ngā mea pīpī o te whare wananga. Ko te wairua ngahau te waka e kawe ai te kaupapa.

Ka tangōhia ngā potae matauranga, ā, ka whakamau kē i ngā potae o te harikoatanga. I whakarite mātou i tēnei kaupapa kia taea ngā tauira hou te tutaki ki ētehi anō i raro, nā raro i te āhuru mōwai.

I tū te hui tuatahi ki ‘Paintball Corp’. Parahutihuti ana tā mātou haerenga, mā runga waewae express hoki tā tātou ekenga. I whakarōpūngia mātou e te kaiwhakarite kia toru ngā tīma. Kīhai i taro, ko te pahupahu noa te reo i rangona e ōku taringa. Ka timata ngā kemu, ka hoihoi katoa te pae o te pakanga i ngā nanakia o Ngāi Tauira. I te mutunga iho ko te whanaungatanga te hua i puta.

Nā wai rā ka tū te hui tuarua ki te Keke Tini, ko te matakitaki whutuporo te mahi. Ahakoa he kaitākoro tāku tau a SBW mō te kapa Chiefs ka tautoko tōnu au i ngā Canes ,ngā whakaihuwaka. Me mihi ka tika ki a Navana Koretake Brrr. Nāna i whakamau te pōro, nāna anō i whakahoki ki ngā kaiākoro. Tō kerewa!

I tū tā mātou hui tuatoru i te mutunga o te taraimeta ki Queenswarf.

I te pūrei mātou i te kemu, Bubble Soccer. He hatēkēhi rawa tēnei kemu. Ka timata mātou i tēnei kemu, ka hoki aku mahara ki te wā e purei bull rush ana mātou ko ōku whanaunga ki te marae. Ēhara i te mea ko te whai piro te whainga matua . Ko te tohu kē o ngā toa ko ō hoa e takoto ana i te whira. Ka aroha ki a koutou ngā hoariri o tāku tima. I raro rātou e putu ana Hei te 1st o Akuhata ka tū ai tā tātou hui tuawha ki te Hunter Lounge e hoa mā nō reira kia kotahi atu koutou ki reira. Na Ngā Rangahautira tēnei kaupapa i whakarite. Ko te matakitaki i ngā whetu maiangi o te ao puoru te mahi. Ko Tiki Tane rātou ko .... ngā kaiwhakangahau. $25 te utu mō te hunga kai kai $35 mō Ngāi kai huare ,ā, mēna ka hoko koe i tō tīkiti mai i a Ngāi Tauira he $15 noa te utu. Kia mohio mai koutou he 30 noa iho ngā tīkiti $15. Taihoa ake, ka whakairihia ngā whakaritenga i runga i te wharangi Pukamata o Ngāi Tauira. Mā reira mohio ai tātou ki ngā nekehanga. editor@salient.org.nz

He aha te māramatanga i tōku ao?

Nā Te Owaimotu Crawford

I tēnei whenua o tātou e wātea ana tātou katoa, ahakoa ko wai, ahakoa nō hea, ki te whai i tēnei mea te mātauranga. Engari, ko te nuinga o tātou kāore i paku whakaaro mō taua āhuatanga. I ētahi whenua o tēnei ao, kāore e wātea ētahi ki te whai i te mātauranga. Hēoi, e ai ki te Whakapuakitanga Tika Tangata he tika tangata tēnei mea te mātauranga. Engari, ahakoa tana tū hei mana tangata kua whatia ki ētahi tamariki, ki ētahi pakeke anō hoki. I te whākorekore o tēnei tika tangata , he māmā te kite, kua huri tēnei mana tangata mā te katoa, hei hōnore mō te ruarua noa iho.

Kāore e kore kua rongo te nuinga o tātou ki ngā kōrero e pā ana ki a Malala Yousafai. Engari, mō koutou kāore anō kia rongo ki a ia ānei ētahi kōrero. He kōtiro a Malala, nō Pakitāne, i whawhai ia mō te āheinga a ngā kōtiro, ngā wāhine ki te whai i te mātauranga. Kia kore ai te mātauraunga e noho ana hei hōnore mō ngā tāne, mō ngā tama anake. Hēoi, i te tau 2012, i a ia e noho ana i tōna pahi mō te kura i hoata ia, i te Taliban. Ahakoa taua aituā, i te whakapikinga o tana ora i whawhai tonu ia mō tana kaupapa, ā, nā tāna mahi i whakamana te pire o te mana ki te whai i te mātauranga o Pakitāne. Ko taua pire rā te pire tuatahi o tōna āhua mō Pakitāne.

Kia ōrite te taumata mō ngā tāngata katoa. Kia kore ai te mātauranga e noho hei hōnore mō ētahi anake.

Ko te tumanako ka mōhio koutou ināianei ki te māramatanga i tōku ao, arā, ko te mātauranga. I te nuinga o te wā kāore tātou i āta whakaaro mō tō tātou āheinga ki te whai i te mātauranga, hēoi ka waiho au i tēnei whakataukī hei whakaarotanga mā koutou: “Ko te manu e kai ana i te miro, nōna te ngahere.

Ko te manu e kai ana i te mātauranga, nōna te ao.”

"Taku tino" Nā Hinemaia Takurua

Kua roa nei au e whakaaro ana mo tōku māramatanga i tēnei ao hurihuri. Heoi kāore anō au kia tau i runga i te whakaaro kotahi, ki te nuinga o ngā tāngata ko te whānau te māramatanga, kei te tika tēra ēngari e hiahia ana au ki te patipati mō tētahi māramatanga anō, he māramatanga e taea ana koutou te mōhio ki tāku e kōrero nei.

He paku tiwhiri ēnei mō taku māramatanga ..

He aroha nui tōku mōna, ahakoa haere au ki hea kua piri paua mai ia ki ahau. I ngā wā pōuri, i ngā wā pukuriri, koia tēra e pōtatu ana i au kia kore au e warea i aua āhuatanga.

Koia taku mahere, e kore mātou e ngāro mehemea ko ia tēra e whakaatu ana i ngā huarahi, koia hoki tēra e āwhina ana i au ki te rapu tangata, ki te whaiwhai tangata hoki (; He pai ia mo ngā mahi katoa, ahakoa kēmu mai, ahakoa waiata mai, arā noa atu, arā noa atu ōna painga.

Ko te raru kē ka hia tau ia e noho wahangū ana i ngā wā o te hākinakina, ka noho noa ia ka waiata i ngā waiata, ka takoto rānei ki te mātaki i te tuanui(nā wai i hē, katahi ka hē kē atu!). Ēngari ahakoa te aha, ka nui taku aroha mōna.

I ngā rā kua pahure, i haere māua ki te hoko kākahu hou, he kūare nōku ki te rapu kākahu mōna, kua tawhito kē ngā kākā o taku hoa, heoi he tino pai ōna rawa, Kāore e taea te wai te whakamāku i a ia, mehemea ka taka ia ki te papa kāore ia e pakē, heoi anō i whiria maua i ngā kākahu waipiro e kīī ana ‘Absolut Vodka’ kāore i tua atu.

Hei mutunga kōrero mōna, he rawe tōna maumaharatanga, ka mau ia ki tōna hinengaro ngā waiata katoa o te ao, ahakoa Beyonce mai, Al Green mai, he pai hoki tōna maumaharatanga mo ngā wā haere ai mātou ki te moana, ki te tāone, ka mau ki tōna hinengaro ētahi whakaahua, kia pai ai tā mātou titiro ā muri mai. He āhua ōrite tō māua hononga ki te waiata ‘No Air’ te waiata a Chris Brown rāua ko Jordin Sparks.

Me pēhea te ngā mehemea kāore he āngi, tē taea te whakanoho, tē tāea te aha, ka pā mai taua āhuatanga ki au i te wā kāore ia i reira. He tino uaua mōku te ngā ki te ngaro ia i taku tirohanga.

Nā reira, Kei taku tino, ko te tūmanako kāore i arikarika ngā tau ka noho koe i tōku taha. Mei kore ake koe i Waea, kua kore au x

Ingoa Kārangaranga Nā The Daggerin, Gendagg, Gendog, The Genstick, Dagger, Kunta, Bub & Gen, aka Geneveine Wilson

“What’s in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.” William Shakespeare used this vernacular to describe the artificial and meaningless convention of names. Further into the passage, Shakespeare presents the idea of renouncing a name.

To renounce a name, or adopt a moniker, is not unfamiliar at all. Hinenuitepo was amongst the first to relinquish her name and her identity. Born as Hinetītama, after procreating with her father, Tane, she bestowed upon herself a new identity as Hinenuitepo.

Renouncing a name, in this instance, was also renouncing an identity. Now, this is not something I would take lightly.

A name is a significant part of who we are, used for others to recognise us—or frankly a massive hassle if you have a common name! To combat this, most of us will shorten our names or be bestowed with a moniker.

The use of monikers, or nicknames, has been present for eons. It was not uncommon for monikers to relay a particular message about the recipient. Native Americans have a tradition of naming a person based on how they were perceived by others. Biblical examples provide the same approach to names often associated with spiritual status. In this instance, Māori are similar. Names could be used to describe a person using a feature, circumstances surrounding their birth or conception, and particular achievements and stages of life.

For Māori, it is not uncommon for someone to have multiple names. For example, someone with the birth name RutuTawhiorangi is able to be addressed by this name on the pā or around whānau, but may have to adopt other names for ease in other situations. The idea of having a “going out name”, such as Rachel, or a nickname, like Shoey (like shoe-polish) in reference to someone’s characteristics.

There are times others find our real name hard to pronounce, an issue that has long plagued Māori as well as others. My own name is apparently difficult to pronounce and others fail to read it correctly. In some instances we are given a shortened version of our name; in others we are given different name entirely.

Personally, when I introduce myself by a one-syllable nickname, it is because I am lazy as well. It’s awfully boring to have to www.salient.org.nz

issue 16

correct someone multiple times when they mispronounce your name. It is equally tiresome when they ask a series of questions on the origins of your name just because it is unusual.

Sometimes I wonder if people even know my proper name as a result of only being exposed to my nicknames. This has translated from social settings into my correspondence with lecturers and my employers. It’s almost a new identity.

The pervasive use of alternative names is clear—they are easy, lazy and informal. They also are form of familiarity. However, it is common in the case of children, and probably adults, where nicknames are used to ridicule or have insensitive origins.

Being affectionately referred to as Whaea hit the personal insult button. Although it was meant to be a term of endearment and respect, it wasn’t initially received that way. I interpreted Whaea as old. And at 20-years-young, I wasn’t too keen on receiving this moniker from thirst years (see definition below). After some deliberation, the name was meant to signify respect as the “Boss” (something which will probably be denied now), but I have no qualms about welcoming this new name.

My mother still cringes when she hears people refer to me by a nickname. I see no harm in it, although personally I have become predisposed to answering to many terms, sometimes derogatory, yet I fail to take any offense.

Humans are programmed to respond to fondness and kindness—two features that nicknames usually aren’t. A central reason for accepting many of the monikers we give is not usually because we like the name, more so what it represents. In most cases they are public acknowledgement and signify belonging to a group.

This idea of belonging also has the potential to provide others with an additional influence over your identity. In some aspects it signifies possession through the rights of naming someone and in turn claiming an aspect of their identity.

This can be negative, in the sense that they gain a sense of authority and/or pride from their contribution to an identity.

23

This identity is sometimes represented by a nickname borne from the masses. Instagram, Facebook and Twitter often rally behind terms to describe a particular type of person, creating a plethora of new nicknames that serve as both compliments and insults. Here is a list of my favourite terms.

The Daggerin’s Top 5 terms of endearment: 5. Bub This is the primary moniker for young members of a whānau, usually short for bubba, baby etc. However, the use of “bub” quickly turns into ten people responding at whānau events until one speaks out against the rest and claims the name as their own.

4. Fuckboy (Inappropriate?)

Fuckboys are mostly heterosexual young men who use sexist language, throw around homophobic slurs, think all girls are either sluts or objects, thinks rape jokes are funny, believes the friendzone is real, are usually quite misogynistic, and embody ignorance on every level.

3. Thot or thottie A girl who thinks she is hot, but in all honesty, she is just That Ho Over There.

2. Thirsty (often applied to my good friends, the #thirstyears) To crave attention, usually from the opposite sex.

1. Hern (unfortunately there is no agreed upon written definition, so I turn your attention to “muppet”—the hern’s closest known relative) A person who defies explanation with regard to common sense and logic, exuding an air of confidence disproportionate to their accomplishments or abilities.

On any given day, we really don’t think too much about our name or nicknames. But deep down we all know our name is an integral part of our identity, something our heart strongly connects with. It’s something we tell others when we meet them. Although being Māori, there is often more interest in the name of your whānau, hapū or iwi as means for them to find a connection.

He māramatanga i tua i te Mātaurauga Nā Raimona Tapiata

Mai anō i taku taunga mai ki Te Ūpoko o te Ika, ki te Whare Wānanga nei, ko taku whāinga ko tēnei mea te mātauranga. Ko te mātauranga o te ao Pākeha tēra hei oranga ā-tinana mōku me tōku whānau. Ko tēnei rākau hei whakarākei, hei kīnaki i taku whatumanawa koia ko te reo Māori me tōna ao. Tērā te pōhēhē i roto i au, ka kuhu mai au ki tēnei ao, ka whakakīkīa aku kete, katahi au ka hopa tere atu ki ngā raorao o te motu me te piupiu haere i te rakau mātauranga Pākeha nei. Mā te mātauranga anakē ka hua ko te māramatanga. Tērā pōhēhē tēra!

He māramatanga anō i tōku ao i ahu mai i ngā peka o te whare wānanga kāore e hāngai pū ana ki te taha mātauranga ā-tohu nei. Ko ngā tini kaupapa i tua atu i ngā akoranga me ngā whakamātautau.

Ka noho au ka whakaaro ki te kaupapa, ā, ka hiwa ake i a au te kōrero whakaupoko o tua ake nei. Ko te matua māramatanga tēnā o tātou te tangata. Nā runga i tēnā kei te mihia taku whaene nāna au i whāngai, nāna au i tiaki i roto i tōna kōpū, otirā i waho hoki, i taku putanga mai ki te ao mārama. Me mihi hoki i taku matua nāna au i whakatupu, i roperope kia tangata mai ai au i tēnei ao. Otirā, ka huri aku whakaaro ki te pā harakeke, ki taku whānau, ki aku whanaunga, ki aku kārangarangatanga maha, tae atu ki ōku hoa. I tupu tahi mātou, i kapakapa tahi, i hāereere tahi, i aha tahi.

Kia kore koutou katoa, kua kore au.

Kāti rā, ko tōku ao e noho nei au kua kaha karamuia ki ngā āhuatanga o te ao Māori. Nō tōku nohinohitanga i haere au ki te Kōhanga Reo, ki te Kura Kaupapa Māori hoki, ki reira rangona ai, kōrerotia ai hoki te reo Māori, otirā ki reira whakahaerengia ai ngā āhuatanga Māori pēnei i te kapa haka me te pōwhiri. I aua wā tonu e kaha ana taku whānau ki te haere ki ngā kaupapa Māori, ki ngā hui o te marae, ki ngā hui kapa haka, ki aua momo āhuatanga katoa. Koia aku tino maharatanga mō tōku nohinohitanga, ko te rangona o te reo Māori e iere ana i te takiwā, ko te kitea o ngā mahi Māori e whakahaerengia ana i tēnā wāhi, i tēnā wāhi. Kāore

I runga i tēnā, ka whakaaro ake au ki te kōrero ‘Ko te reo te hā, te mouri o te Māoritanga’ me te tika hoki o taua kōrero ki a au. Ko tōku reo Māori te kaikawe i tōku Māoritanga. Ehara i te mea ki te kore he reo i a au kua kore ōku Māoritanga, engari nā tōku mōhio ki te whakahaere i te reo Māori kua whai māramatanga ake tōku Māoritanga, he māramatanga e kore e taea nē i kāore kau he reo. Ko te reo Māori e hāpai ake ana i tōku tuakiritanga e kiia ai au he Māori, e kiia ai au he tangata.

Nā, koia nei te māramatanga i tōku ao. Kāore i tua atu i tōku pā harakeke, nā reira i puta mai ai au ki te ao, nā reira i whai māramatanga ai. Ka mutu, ko te ao Māori tērā e kākahu nei i ōku whakaaro e kite ai au i te māramatanga. Otirā, ko te reo Māori tērā e hāpai ake ana i tōku tuakiritanga e mārama ai ko wai au i roto i tēnei ao. Heoi anō rā, me mutu aku pahupahu i kōnei kei kiia au he kūmara. Nō reira tēnā koe i whai wāhi mai ki tēnei iti nāku. Kāti rā.

What’s your understanding of this world?

Te mārama o tōku ao

He aha te mea nui o tenei ao?

He tangata, he tangata, he tangata.

Mai i taku tamarikitanga, i puta taku kaingākau ki te hāereere ki tāwāhi. Nā tōku kuia rāua ko tōku koroua au i hari i tō rāua taha, i ā rāua haerenga ki wīwī, ki wāwā. Taku waimarie hoki! Ahakoa taku pakupaku i taua wā, e hia nei ngā painga i whiwhi au i te tipiwhenua, arā, te tūtaki tāngata hou, te whakawhānaunga, me te ako i ngā momo ahurea ake o ngā whenua.

Te Kaurinui Parata Basically, I think all of us have the ability to interpret our own observations and perceptions of this world. Our minds are limitless when it comes to our own understanding of the world and its existence. One person is able to believe in his own understanding in the world, whereas you can have another person believing in the exact opposite. Through communities and society we are then able to share things such as language, belief and culture. I believe that those kinds of things bind people together through sharing things in common.

I love the idea of being able to socially synchronise with one group, and then moving on to an entirely new and different one—keeping in mind to maintain participation in each one to remain a member. My favourite part is the process when forming a group. Meeting someone new gives me a different kind of anxiety, to which feels both scary and exhilarating. When I meet a new person, I intrinsically assume that they know nothing of me, and rather have a blank understanding and perception of myself. I feel like it’s an opportunity to show the best of me to each person (though I do not wish to be seen as a liar).

Making an effort each time to access our own knowledge and experience is satisfactory whilst shared amongst others who have experienced similar circumstances. I hope that each person I meet will carry their own different perception of me. When each perspective of me is combined and shared with others, it adds to the story of my existence on this world. Each aspect of this reality is inspiring and I am happy to share each moment of it with others.

Kāti, ahakoa he poto noa iho taku wā i tō rātou taha, i whakauruhia au ki tō rātou whānau, anō nei he tuakana, he tuahine, he tamāhine au nā rātou tonu. E kore au e warewaretia tō rātou manaaki mai, ā ka noho whānau tonu mātou, ahakoa tō rātou tawhiti.

I te timatanga, kāore au i te paku mōhio ki te reo Ītariana, engari, nā wai rā, ka matatau ake au ki taua reo. He uaua hoki taua mahi i te marama tuatahi, nā te paku noa iho o ngā tāngata i mōhio ki te kōrero i te reo Pākehā.

Heoi, i awhina ōku hoa, ā, tōku waimarie hoki nā te mea he rite te whakahua o te reo Itariana ki te reo Māori.

I tūtaki au ki ētahi atu tauira mai i whenua kē, pērā i a Āwherika ki te Tonga me Tiorangi. Kāore i roa, ka piri tahi mātou hei hoa.

Ka noho hoa pūmau tonu mātou, ahakoa ka noho mātou ki tēnā pito, ki tēnā pito o te ao. I hāereere mātou ki ngā tāone tata ki a mātou, pērā i a Mīrāno, Wēneti, Roma me Whērona.

I have had many opportunities to learn about myself this year and can’t wait for more. Learning to truly accept people, who they are and what they think of this world. Being engaged and involved within specific projects. These things link between each and every one of us. I believe in the importance of “tangata” or “the people”.

Not only to understand others, but also to understand oneself.

Perhaps there can be a story we can all share together some day.

Ahakoa ngā piki me ngā heke, i taku haerenga ki Itaria e kore au e warewaretia ngā āhuatanga i kitea, i rangona. Ka noho hoki ēnei wheako hei whakahāngai i ōku whakaaro, me ōku mahi mātauranga. Ki te tipiwhenua koe, he mea whakatūwhera i tō ao, kia rere whānui ai ō whakaaro. E kore rawa tēnei tū-āhuatanga e wātea mō ake tonu atu, nā, me whai i ā koe e pūhou nei. Nā, he nui noa atu ngā huarahi, ngā wheako ka whāia e koe mai i te tipihaere.

He aha te mea nui o tenei ao? He tangata, he tangata, he tangata.

Tihei māuri ora.

Nā ko te tipiwhenua, tētahi o ngā ‘māramatanga’ o tōku ao. Āe, ko te whānau tētahi, ko ōku hoa tētahi anō hoki. Heoi, e hia kē nei ngā whetū e tiaho ana i tō tātou nei ao?

Te Whānau Tōrangapū Māori ee. Bleh!

Nā Elijah Pue

He aha rā tōku māramatanga i tōu ao. Ko ngā take tōrangapū, ko tōku taha Māori, kā mutu, te whanaketanga o tō tātou iwi Māori.

Ko ngā take tōrangapū pēnei i te Paati Māori, ko ngā take tōrangapū o te motu hoki. Nō reira ka tīmata pea ki taku kaingākau ki tō tātou Paati Māori, arā te Paati tika mō tātou. Ko tō mātou nei kaupapa, me hāngai ngā policies ki ngā whāinga o te iwi Māori. Pēnā ki te Reo Māori, te whakanaketanga o te hāpori, te Whānau Ora, te mea te mea.

Ko te Whānau Ora, he kaupapa e pā ana ki ngā wawata o te whānau. Mehemea kei te pīrangi te whānau ki te whakatū i tētehi kaupapa hei hua mō taua wawatā, mā te whānau ora tērā kaupapa e tautoko. Mehemea kei te pīrangi tō whānau ki te āwhina i tō rā Whaea e pā ana ki tana hia tarukino, mā te whānau ora tērā kaupapa e tautoko. Te āhua nei ko te whānau te mea nui, me te kotahitanga o ngā mema katoa o tō tātou whānau.

Koinā te mea nui.

Nō reira, ka tika me tautoko tātou ki te pāti māori, otirā ki tēnei o ngā kaupapa. Tū Māori Mai - Ko Mātou Tērā!

He taonga kei roto i ngā ringaringa a te tangata e poipoi ana, kāhore rānei? E pēnei ana nā runga i te mōhio,

www.salient.org.nz

kei te taupatupatu ngā iwi me ngā toki o te reo me taua kaupapa, mā wai e tiaki i te reo o uki? Āna, ko te Mātāwai tērā kaupapa e tino tautohetohengia e koutou. Nē hā? Ko tāku, he huarahi tāpokopoko, kāore e kore, ēngari he hīkoi iti noa ki te pae tawhiti. Heoi anō, me he raru āu ki tēnei kaupapa, kei te pai tērā, ēngari kaua e amuamu, me puta tō whakaaro nā runga i te rangimārie, katahi me puta to whakaaro pai ake i tērā o te Kawana. Mōku ake, me hoki te mana o te Reo Māori ki te iwi Māori ka tika. Ēngari, he aha tēnei mea te huarahi tika mo te whakarauoratanga o te reo? Ko te Rautaki Reo Māori? Me kī, mā te mahi tahi ka tupu mai, ka ora mai te reo.

Kāore e kore, he whakaaro tā koutou mō ngā take tōrangapū katoa o te motu nei. Ēngari kia kaua e amuamu noa e pā ana ki ēnei whakaaro - me puta ki te whai ao ki te ao Mārama! Haere ki ngā mema pāremata, haere ki ngā Tāhūhū Rangapū o ngā Tari Kāwana, haere ki ngā kaumātua puta noa i te motu. Mā te aha koe e amuamu noa mō ēnei whakaaro? He aha rā ngā hua o tērā?

Me huri aku whakaaro kia rātou mā kua wehe. Ko tā James Hēnare, i te hokinga mai o ngā hoia: Hoki atu ki ō maunga, hoki atu ki tō iwi, hoki atu ki ō marae. Ēngari ko te mea nui, tū Māori mai, tū Maori mai.

Koia.

Te hekenga o Maruiwi, te ekenga o Māori Iwi rānei?

Nā Petera Hakiwai Nō te huatakinga o te tau hou Pākehā, he rite tonu te mate o ngā tino o te ao Māori. Ko Apirana Mahuika tērā, Ko Tama Huata tērā, Ko Materoa Haenga tērā, Ko Henrietta Maxwell tērā, Ko Erima Henare tērā, ko Mauriora Kingi tērā, ko wai atu, ko wai atu.

Tangihanga atu, tangihanga mai ka rangona ngā kupu “kua pōhara te Iwi Māori i tō rironga atu”, me taku whakaae mārika ki ērā kōrero. Heoi anō ka pihi ake te whakaaro, mēnā e pōhara ana tātou, te iwi Māori i te rironga atu o ēnei momo tāngata, me aha tātou e āhua whai rawa anō ai tātou? Mā wai ngā Marae e waha ā muri ake nei?

Koia rā te momo o ngā pātai e noho ana i te pori o te ngutu. Kei te tino haukerekerehia te Iwi Māori e Aituā-aroha-kore, e Aituā-makihuhunu. Me he parawhenua mea a Aituā, ko te Iwi māori te ika i te ati.

Ki tā te Māori titiro, ko te whakatinanatanga tenei o te hekenga o Maruiwi ki te pō.

Ae rā me mōteatea tātou ka tika mō ēnei kura ka riro, engari he rā anō tō muri i te pō roa. Nō tātou e mōteatea ana me anga hoki te titiro ki te hunga e ngākaunui ana ki te reo, he oranga wairua kei reira. Kei te kawe tēnei hunga i ngā manako o ngā tino o te ao Māori i kōrerotia kētia.

Ko te whakakī whāruarua te mahi i nāianei. He aha rā kei tua mō te reo Māori? Ka titiro au ki ngā kaupapa penei i te kura reo, te Ataarangi, te Kohanga Reo, te Kura Kaupapa, te aha kē atu rānei me taku miharo ki te kaha o ngā kaiwhakahaere ki te pakanga kia ora tonu ai tō tātou reo mō te ake. Nā reira ka āhua hāneanea ai taku noho me te whakaaro e pai ana te haere o te reo Māori. Engari rā he whakatūpato kei roto i tērā.

Ko hāneanea te hoariri o pitomata. Me kaua rā tātou e noho hāneanea mō te wā roa, engari kē tūwhitia te hopo kia mairangatia te angitū!

E te tira whakaora i te reo, kaua e tatari kia mate rā anō ngā kaumātua ka timata ai koe ki te tū marae, ki te ako whakapapa, ki te aha kē atu. Ka whati te tai, ka pao te torea! Mahia i nāianei e wātea ai ngā kaumātua ki te arataki, ki te whakangungu hoki i a koe.

Mate atu he tētēkura, ara mai rā he tētēkura! Ko te hekenga o Maruiwi ki a koutou te tira mātai pō, ko te ekenga o Māori Iwi ki a mātou te tira mātai ao, tēnā tātou, ki te hoe!

Pea Mā Nā pāpā pea

Kō hea rā, ko hea rā, kō hea rā taku huarahi hei whainga?

Ko te kete mātauranga? Ko te kete aronui? Ko te kete mō aku hū rānei? Ko ēnei ngā pātai i pātaihia e au ki a au anō i te mutunga o taku akoranga i te kura tuarua. Titiro kau ana ki ngā hau āwhiowhio o Tāwhirimatea, neke ki te taha mauī, nuku ki te taha matau, ko mātou tērā e hūnuku ana i te mata o te whenua. Tēnā karanga mai rā e te whenua Karauna, Ka tangi ngā tēkehi, ka haruru ngā pahi, ka paopao te karaka rangatira ko Pene-nui. Ko te iwa o ngā rā o Maramatahi tērā. Ko tōku wā tuatahi ki te whenua nei, nā rātou i whanako ngā whenua Māori, ā ko Ingarangi te ingoa.

Ko te take i haere au ki reira ko te tū hei kaiako i te kura o Aysgarth. He kura tērā mō ngā tama anake, pērā i tōku kura o Hato Pāora - Whaia te tika. Ahakoa he kura mō ngā tama anake he kura tuatahi hoki. E kore au e wareware i tōku rā tuatahi nā te mea he rā tino makariri. He kura toa a Aysgarth i roto i te ao whutūporo ki Ingarangi. Kotahi rau tekau mā toru ngā tama e kuraina ana ki taua kura.

Ka hoki aku mahara ki taku wiki tuatahi i reira. Kua kī katoa tōku hirikapo i ngā maumaharatanga o taua wā. Ko tētahi o ērā ko te wā uiui mō ngā mātua me ngā kaiako. I kī mai tōku kaiwhakahaere ki a au, “E tama, me haere koe ki te tiki i ngā pēke o te matua rā, te pāpā o tētahi o ngā tama’. I taua wā kāore au i te tino mōhio ki te tino matū o te mahi hari pēke. Engari ka tatari au ki waho i te kura, i te tūnga waka mō te pāpā rā. Rua tekau miniti au e tatari ana ki a ia engāri kāore kau he waka i tae mai. Ka hoki au ki taku tari kātahi ka rongo au ki te tangi o tētahi waka topatopa. Kāore au i te mōhio te take o te waka topatopa engari i kī mai tōku kaiwhakahaere, “E tama, haere ki te papa tākaro”. Ka heke iho te waka topatopa. Ko te tangata i heke ko Matua Hanson, te poumatua o Gucci. He mirionaea ia. I tērā wā tonu ka whai māramatanga au, he kura whai rawa tēnei.

www.salient.org.nz

I ia wīkeni, ka haere ngā kaiako o te kura ki te pāparakāuta.

I tētahi pō ka haere mātou ki te pāparakauta ko te Pea Mā (ara ko te “White Bear”). Nā te matua o tētahi o ngā tama te pāparakāuta rā. Ka tirohia e au ngā pikitia i te pakitara o ngā tūmomo kēmu ka tākarohia ki te pāparakāuta nei. Ka kite au i te hākinakina tauronarona (tug of war) i roto i ia pikitia. Kātahi ka pātai atu au ki te ūpoko o te pāpara - “he aha te tikanga o ngā pikitia?” Ko tāna whakautu, “I ia tau, i ia tau ka haramai ngā tāngata haurangi o tērā pāpara, o tērā pāpara mō te whakataetae tauronarona. Kei te pīrangi koe ki te tū hei tumu hei kaitātaki mō te pāparakāuta Pea Mā?” Taku waimarie i taua tono nā te mea e torutoru noa iho ngā tāngata e whai wāhi ki taua tima, ā, tokomaha ngā tāngata e pīrangi ana ki te uru. Tino harawene ētahi o ngā tāngata i te hau kāinga nā te mea kua roa rātou e tatari ana ki te eke. Kāore he aha ki ahau nā te mea nā ō rātou tīpuna ōku whenua i tāhae.

Ka taka te wā, ka tū te whakataetae. Ka tae mai te katoa o te tāone ki te mātakitaki i te whakataetae nei. E ono rau pea ngā tāngata i tatū mai. Ka tae te wā ka eke mātou te rōpū Pea Mā ki te papa, ka ūmere te katoa o ngā tāngata, ā, karanga ana rātou “White Bear! White Bear!” I ngā tau o mua, kīhai rātou i toa i te whakataetae nā tō rātou haurangi. I te rauna tuatahi ka toa mātou. I te rauna tuarua nā mātou anō i toa. Ka eke ki te whiringa whakamutunga, ki kōnei ka tohua ko wai ka toa hei tino pāpara. Hīkaka ana tōku rōpū, koia nei te wā tuatahi kua piki mātou ki tēnei taumata. Ko Te Taniwha Kākāriki (e kiia nei ko te ‘Green Dragon’) tā mātou tino hoariri. I ia tau, ko rātou te mea e whakaihuwaka.

Ahakoa te nunui, te rarahi o ngā tāne o ‘Te Taniwha Kākāriki’ kei a mātou ngā pūkenga me te hinengaro o Māui-pōtiki. I te whakapau werawera te rōpū, kātahi ka hakaina tōku rōpū, kī ana te Pākehā “Ana...HĪ...Anā...HĪ!”

Tau mai ana te kaha o Tūmatauenga ki a mātou, ā, ka tangatanga te mau o te hoariri. Tutū ana te puehu ka taki atu

au “Kia kaha...ANĀ...HĪ!” Ānana! Whati ana te hoariri, ka eke pānuku mātou! Ka ūmere te katoa o ngā tāngata me te hāparangi anō “White Bear! White Bear!” Ka hīkoi te katoa ki te pāparakāuta o Pea Mā mō te pō whakangāhau.

Kāore mātou o te tima tauronarona Pea Mā i utu mō ngā inu waipiro, i tukua kētia mai hei koha.

Ahakoa kāore au i te paku maumahara ki taua pō, ka mōhio pū au he tino pai. Ko te mea tino nui ki au, i te pāparakāuta Pea Mā, ka iri te pikitia o tō mātou rōpū toa i te pakitara. Āpiti atu anō hoki, i te mea ko mātou ngā toa o taua tau, ka whakairi tā mātou pikitia ki ngā pakitara o ngā pāparakāuta katoa i taua tāone i Ingarangi.

Koinei tētahi paku wāhanga o tōku haeranga ki Ingarangi.

Kei te Whare Wānanga o Wikitōria au ināianei e whai mātauranga ana. I te pōhēhē te nuingā o ngā tāngata, he tama pōhara au nā taku kore mau hū. Engari i mahue kē i au aku hū ki Hingapoa (Singapore) – heoi, he pakiwaitara anō tērā.

Ngāti Kangarū Nā Mike Ross

Nō te Hune 2015, ka whakawhiti atu mātou ko tōku whānau ki Ahitereia. Ko te toro atu ki ōku whanaunga te take matua me te hararei anō hoki. Nā te ngaukino o te hotoke i Pōneke, he waimārie nō mātou te whakaputa atu ki te Takutai Kōura (ara ko te GC). Te taenga atu ki Piripane ka rongo i te mahana, ā ka painaina te kiri i te hī a Tamanui me te pā ngawari mai o te hau angiangi e whakangaro ana te kinikini o te mātao. Ka taraiwa ki te Takutai Koura, ruia ana ngā toimahatanga o te kāinga pēnā i ō mātou kōti nui kia hora ai ki tātahi. Koia ka tau te mauri o te turuhi Māori nei.

Tūturu, he wāhi hihiri anō hoki te Takutai Kōura mō te tangata. Tū atu i te pai o te huarere me te ātaahua o te taiao, kei reira ngā paaka whakangahau, whakatakahurihuri tangata, arā ko Te Ao Moemoea, Te Ao Wai Hukapapa, ko Te Ao Moana me Te Ao Kiriata, kātahi rā ngā ao whakaihiihi ko ērā mō te whānau! Hei te pō, ka tūwhera ngā tatau o ngā karapū e paopao ana i ā ratou waiata me ngā taringa o ngā taiohi e uru atu ana.

Nā whai anō e muia nei te tini o ngā Māori ki tēnei whenua angitū. Kāore pea he hekenga nui ake tō te iwi Māori i te whakawhitinga mai i Aotearoa ki te whenua e kīia nei Te Pāpaka a-Māui, te Whenua Moemoea!

Koia te kī, tātai whetu ki te rangi ko te ira Māori ki te Takutai Koura, e tōnui ana e pakari ana a Ngāti Kangarū!

Ki tā te kōrero he iwi Māori tonu tēnei a Ngāti

www.salient.org.nz

Kangarū, koia ka whakahuatia ana te kupu Mozzie hei tohu i te moe tahi a te Māori me te Aussie. Nā, koia te whakaaro i tō mātou taenga atu, ka kite i ngā mea Mozzie ka hiki ōku tukemata, me te mea nei, ‘kia ora e hoa’, engari tonu tē aro mai! Hā! He aha hoki tēnei tikanga? Tēnā ka hurihuri ōku whakaaro, he whakapehapeha he whakamā rānei pea ngā Mossie ki tōna taha Māori, he kūware rānei, kāore rātou e mōhio ki ngā momo whakamihi i Aotearoa nei? Taku pōhēhē rānei he Māori te āhua engari, nō iwi kē anō?

Nā ka tuku ēnei pātai ki tō mātou hoa a Tū e noho roa ana, e mahi tāmoko ana ki kō. He tangata mōhio pū ia ki ngā tikanga Mozzie o taua wāhi. Ki tāna, e toru pea ngā hapū nui o Ngāti Kangarū, ko te tuakana e whai pakiaka ana ki taua whenua e whakatangata ana i āna tamariki mokopuna ki reira, ko te teina ko te whakatupuranga hou, nāna i whānau mai i Aotearoa e ruarua ngā tau e noho ana ki reira engari kei reira ōna manako. Ko te pōtiki piripoho ko ngā mea e noho manene ana ki taua wāhi, ahakoa te roanga o te noho, ko te tinana ki Ahitereiria ko te manawa ki te kāinga.

Ina e mihi tukemata ana te Māori ki te tuakana, e whakaaro pēnei nei “Pūrari Māori Mata!” arā, he FOB kē te Māori ki a ia i tērā whenua. Kei te teina ka mōhio ki ngā āhuatanga o te kāinga engari ka aro kē ki ngā tikanga o tōna kāinga rua. Ko te pōtiki ia he hikinga tukemata, he toronga ringa. Ki a au nei ko te potiki e pūmau ana i te Kōura o taua Takutai.

Ko te mea nui, ki ō rāua tirohanga, he mea māori te takatāpuitanga, kāore i te rerekē. Haere tonu te ao, ahakoa tāu whaiāipo.

Kia kaua au e whakaingoingo enagri ko te mea whakamutunga o te turuki nei, ko tōku hoa rangatira. Ko Robert tōna ingoa. Ko te tūmanako, ka tūtaki koe i a ia. He tangata pai. Hei aha tērā! Koinei tōku kōrero, ehara i tōna. Nā, kāore e kore, nāna au i akiaki kia tū takatāpui, kia tū Taranaki, kia tū Whanganui i te wā kōtahi. Kia aumangea, kia tū whakahīhī. Koinei ōna tāhuhu korero. Waihoki, koinei ōku kupu whakamutunga mōu. Hei aha ngā kai hamuti i tōu ao. Kia tū te māpere ki a rātou. Kua pūrangiaho tētehi āhuatanga o tōku ao. Ka haere tonu te haerenga. Pai tērā.

Hei tohu kei te ora tonu koe.

Kupu: Hōkakatanga – sexuality Turuki – stage (of a journey) Whakaingoingo – romantic

It is important to understand as we advance our knowledge base how we utilise our unique knowledge of tikanga and kaupapa Māori practice. Also, to know how we all, including you as rangatahi can advance these tikanga and practices throughout our communities and our current and future employ.

As I observe you maturing in the changing world I am encouraged by those of you who seek to play a part in advancing tikanga Māori into the functions of decision making bodies.

EDITORIAL Sam McChesney Before I came to Salient I worked at the Ministry of Social Development. The first position I held at the Ministry involved processing requests for Child, Youth and Family files—usually from clients, family members or lawyers. Before releasing the information, I had to read through the files and redact any information that was private to another person.

Almost without exception, the files told grim tales of hardship and suffering, with occasional shimmers of hope that, more often than not, turned out to be mirages. The average length of a file was around 200 pages, although once I had to process a 20,000-page file—an unrelenting, generation-spanning account of abuse. For the first few weeks my colleagues and I— we were almost all recent graduates, most from nice homes—had troubling dreams about the things we’d read. Occasionally we’d need to take time out to clear our heads or have a quiet chat to Bret, our unfailingly lovely manager. Eventually we became desensitised, developed a pitch-black sense of humour, and traded war stories at the water cooler.

I was going to write something cliched here about “the darkness of the human soul”, but then I don’t believe in souls. We’re slabs of genetic material thrown together in a pot, and what we call “society” is our collective attempt to make sense of it all. The best results—when we make something useful or interesting or aweinspiring or poignant—go by the name culture; when we screw it up, it’s called injustice.

The Te Ao Mārama issue of Salient sits at a troubling crossroads between the best and worst society has to offer. On the one hand, this issue, which is now in its 44th year, is a great opportunity to celebrate the unique and beautiful Māori culture. On the other, we wouldn’t need to produce this issue were it not for the scandalous marginalisation of said culture and the oppression, both current and historical, of the original inhabitants of this land.

Māori were over-represented in the awful files I read at MSD, and bear the brunt of New Zealand’s

www.salient.org.nz

screw-ups as a country. Māori are also hugely underrepresented in media organisations like Salient. These are not unrelated issues. The political and economic deprivation of Māori in New Zealand and the lack of Māori voices in the media are both legacies of our colonial past. But they’re also mutually reinforcing. For as long as journalism remains a predominantly middleclass profession, it will always suffer from a lack of economically disadvantaged voices, and by extension Māori. At the same time, cultural marginalisation breeds other forms—political, economic, social. Of all the peoples, indigenous or otherwise, who were forced to assimilate into an outside, imperialist culture, none have come out the other side on a level pegging.

It’s not all doom and gloom. Māori are gaining tertiary qualifications at ever-increasing rates, and Māori TV produces the kind of journalism MediaWorks can only dream of (that is, if MediaWorks’ dreams weren’t already taken up exclusively by Paul Henry draped seductively over fat stacks of cash while crooning various Top 40 hits). But it’s important not to be complacent.

It’s also important that we at Salient are not too selfcongratulatory about the fact that we’ve just produced a Te Reo issue. The reality is that Salient, the circles in which most Salient staff and contributors move, and the New Zealand print media in general are all chronically white; that Te Ao Mārama exists because, in the normal run of things, we don’t do enough to promote Māori perspectives and use of Te Reo in the magazine; and that it’s all too easy to use issues like Te Ao Mārama as a figleaf to avoid meaningful longterm change.

To those of you who have worked on this issue— especially our wonderful guest editor Te Po—thank you. Please don’t feel as though this is your one annual opportunity to contribute to Salient. The door is open and we need your voices.

notices Yarn with ZWAAN As a Pākehā with Dutch tipuna, it’s a privilege to be able to write a column for this special issue of Salient.

Te Ao Mārama has been published for over 40 years now, having been first published during the push to revitalise Te Reo Māori in the 1970s. This magazine would’ve been one of the first signs that attitudes towards Te Reo were shifting after decades of oppression.

Given that most other students’ associations around the country still haven’t constitutionally enshrined the publication of a dedicated Te Reo issue, in many ways this magazine can still be seen as a leader in the ongoing mission to revitalise and celebrate Te Reo. In terms of the wider picture of how we fully honour and acknowledge Te Tiriti o Waitangi, we still have a way to go here at VUWSA, Victoria, and as a country as a whole.

Victoria is making some progress; enrollments and completion rates of Māori students are steadily improving year on year. The Government has made increasing the rate of Māori obtaining tertiary qualifications a priority in how it allocates funding, and this is leading to a long-overdue cultural shift among universities.

Victoria was recently commended by the Tertiary Education Commission as one of the leading universities in this area.

I’ve been inspired by my counterparts at Ngāi Tauria who have shown a deep dedication to fostering improving a sense of community and belonging for Māori students at Victoria, as well as a desire to improve Victoria so that more tamariki can share the benefits of tertiary education.

There’s still a long way to go though. Our fantastic mentoring and support programmes such as Te Pūtahi Atawhai have proven to be pivotal in improving our academic successes. Yet, they’re at capacity and receive no central funding from the University—it all comes from our Student Services Levy. Investment in these programmes must be made a priority.

The wider university must listen when concerns are raised but more importantly act. There have been occasions when this has not happened, leading to detrimental outcomes.

The Treaty is, at its heart, a partnership document. It’s what gives Pākehā like me the ability to live on this land. As a community we must all work on deepening our understanding and most of all honour it.
