Abstract

Ko te karakia he mahi tūturu mai rā anō, nō te wā anō o ngā mātua tūpuna. Ko te waerea hoki he karakia nō Hawaiki Nui, Hawaiki Roa, Hawaiki Pāmamao. He taonga kī nā ngā tūpuna kia kaua e waiho kia ngaro i a tātou, engari kia takina ana mō ake tonu atu. Ko te pūtake o tēnei rangahau he kimikimi kōrero mō te waerea kia kitea nei ana kupu, ana mahi me ana hua anō hoki. Ko te mahi tuatahi he whakaemi i ngā mōhiohio, arā, he pānui, he mātai, he whakarongo, he kimi kōrero mō te kaupapa. Ko te mahi tuarua, i haere atu te kaituhi nei ki ētehi tohunga karakia ki te uiui, ki te tuku pātai mō te kaupapa nei o te waerea. Nō te paunga mai o te kōrero tahi me ngā kaiuru ka mātaihia ngā kupu, ā, ka tiriwātia ngā kaupapa matua a tēnā kaiuru kōrero, a tēnā kaiuru kōrero. He mātāpono nui mō tēnei rangahau ko te waiho mā ngā kaiuru me ā rātou kōrero ngā kaupapa matua e ārahi, otirā, kia whitingia ā rātou ake kupu e te rā hei whakanui i a rātou.

He maha ngā mahi a te waerea, he karakia i takina ai e ngā mātua tūpuna i a rātou e haere mai ana i Hawaiki, he karakia e takina ana i te tānga kawa o te whare hou kia huakina ai ōna tatau ki te ao. He karakia anō hoki hei whakawātea, hei ārai mō te iwi, hei kaupare ake i ētehi āhuatanga, ā, arā noa atu āna mahi.
