1. Whanau living away may lose that connection, their values tends to be more colonised,(ML,RM),

2. Whakapapa - whānau living away will lose their family daily, weekly connection with all those living at home - BH, MH, ML

3. Knowledge can be diluted, Maori history, who in the hapu have specialised skills,food gathers, carvers, RM, ML, MW, MH

4. We may lose their reo, their Iwi twang, dialect, kī waha,( lose their use of te reo)

5. They tend to be disconnected with marae duties, and responsibilities - AT, RM, ML, BH

Ka riro te hononga o tō whakapapa

Ka mahue te whanaungatanga

you will forgot your tikanga

You won't get to hear nga waitata koroua nga haka nga whai korero

u won't know all of your whanau

you won't know how to dry the dishes at the marae

1. AT Marae functions - tangihanga, marena, ra whanau, hapū wānanga, kapa haka - wharewānanga, koroua, kuia, whaeakēkē

2. At kura

3. It triggers a sense of wanting to know more about the waiata etc..

# data[].attributes.body
Haere ana ki te haka me nga marae

Ki nga Huritau

Ki nga wānanga

Ki nga Kohanga

whai atu ki to koroua, kuia

Oku Kaiako

it's an ongoing dilemma that emerges most weeks:

- it has us jumping at opportunities to reconnect, may that be wananga, cleaning bee's, contribute to our whānau trusts, marae hui etc

- its in the small everyday acts, ensuring that connection is ongoing, that exists in the whakingoa o ngā tamaraki in hopes that they get curious about the whakapapa of their name and the people and places that they belong. It's in the calls home, and visits.

- But i'm noticing the differences in connection with whenua and the opportunities to connect are often disrupted by other commitments, be that mahi, kura etc. It has me wondering about how might be valuing whenua and connection and what that might be meaning for our tamariki, as they watch us.

-for mum, as a young girl living in Tamaki, that meant that they routinely took part in fundraising kia whakatipu he marae, he waahi mo tatou.

- every effort was also made to return home mo te tikanga, mo te tangihanga and every kaupapa on the marae, to the detriment of all the households, every last dollar went back to your marae. There was need back home that was greater than our own in the cities. There was always a korero around to bring Tuhoe together and back home.

The struggle of living away from your haukāinga could be that lack of knowledge of where you come from, where your bloodline originates from, and in time it may become an ongoing chase, chasing the very part of yourself that you never really got to learn about, your whakaapa māori.

ko etahi o ngā uauatana o te noho ki waho atu i te kainga taurikura?

a sense of disconnection to everything

Lose knowledge of tikanga tū marae, whakapapa

Loss self dignity

A.D - wareware nga tikanga, nga waiata, nga korero Hitori. living away, kua kimi whanau I roto i te whenua hou. No putea, no coming back to the tangihanga etc.

Making room for whanau to fit in our whare.

T.H - Kei wareware nga kehua. he rereke hoki nga kehua a Te Whanau Apanui ki nga kehua o Tuhoe. Its your spiritual

A.T - Nga korero hitori

H.M - living in a village it takes a while to build of reconnect to another village or to join another group of people, who become friends and family. your responsibilities change, your environment change.

M.H - technology: wairua

Can they hear the wairua? you can learn the kupu, can you feel the wairua. Hokia ki te king kia pure koe e nga Hau a Tawhirimatea. akoranga a ipurangi, me hoki ki te kainga. Those who do return home, who don't have the connection. Up to our marae who's gonna help with the roles and responsibilities? do they rely on ahika? when ahika have mahi aswell.

M.H - falling a sleep and listening and not listening. Listening to and watching my mother learning my father's waiata of his hapu, his iwi to be able to tautoko him and his whanau on the pae. Listening to her now as a 94 year old, and though her memory may be waning, that she remembers those kupu and she thinks of those who have left and who she stood with and learnt from.

A.D - Ako a taringa\ kaare he kupu, tineia nga raiti, expected to waiata for those who stand to whaikorero - kids getting hohastanding up and down. Rely on tamariki to waiata.

Elders sing without any words and eyes closed. They know all their words.

Different types of waiata koroua. Both fast and slow.

A.T - I te kohanga reo

H.M - my first memory was going to the marae and singing the waiata on the marae atea.
