Ko te reo, whakapapa, tu pakiri, tu mohio, tu tangata

Living away from home, my hopes for our tamariki in kura (kei Tauranga Moana) would be availability and access to practice and ako i ngā moteatea o Tuhoe ki ngā kura.

Mo te whaanau:

Over time we have noticed the disconnect from these knowledges, and as adults we don't often have the opportunities (as a whānau) to ako/practice moteatea. So i'm thinking our hopes would be to reconnect and ako alongside our tamariki.

ko te hiahia a te kawana ki te whakakore i te Tiriti o Waitangi, me ōna putanga i pai ai te noho aiwi māori me iwi kē.

Ko Te Reo Māori tēra te tāmiatanga a te pākeha kia kaua e kōrerohia Te Reo Māori i ngā Nativw Schools ka patua te hīmatatanga o te kupu nei te Trauma, tēra momo mamae ka noho noa mo ake ki te hinengaro o te manawa te wairua o te tangata mā te hokihoki ki te whakaara ake ki te whakatikatika ki te whakarauora mai i anō i te tangata kia kaua e mahara ake i pēhia kinotia.

HM - tetahi rautaki whakaako ki te pupuri - waiata koroua ia ra - in a kura context - normalising it in a whanau concept - so that our tamariki knows that when someone stands to korero we tautoko with waiata.

TH - Akene pea ka eke ki te wa - when you have a good look at moteatea, whaikōrero - tikanga stops it from working - is it time to allow more doors to open - me hono te tikanga ki akoranga hou - 'taking the tapu away' - in it's a learning context. How do we aspire when there are iron gates to go through? He wero!

Hui Ahurei - there are whaikōrero, Karanga, wero - we need these ones to come through. Connecting tikanga with the aspirations of our rangatahi. The quality and passion belongs to our rangatahi.

To entice - he aha te take - kukume i nga rangatahi, a ka kati nga rangatahi i runga i te marae. opening doors but stopping rangatahi at door 2 and saying well no this is tikanga.

A.T - taking away school lunches.

Te tangohanga o te tiriti o Waitangi. changing maori names to pakeha names for business and street names etc

te tangohanga o te maori health ( Te Whatu Ora)

H.M - All their rules and regulations that stop us from doing great things, in a maori context, a maori environment and a maori way of being

The ongoing impacts of colonisation on cultural identity is something that is still in process nowadays like funding, learning resources, ngā rawa katoa o te hunga Māori kawana likes to strip of Māori. However, I've came to understanding ko tera te ao e noho ana tātou inaianei te ao me whai whai te Māori ki te Pākehā to just breath. But e mataku mea te kawanatanga ki ngā hua pai o te Ao Māori and they really don't want us to be great.
