Hoki mai ki tō tātou whare o Taringa. I tēnei wiki ka āta matapakitia te whetiwara Aotearoa Traditional Māori Performing Arts i tū ai i Tūrangawaewae i te tau 1992.

As the dust settles and te ao Māori reflects on what was one of the most memorable Matatini, the Taringa trio also reflect and look at some tikanga pertaining to te ao haka. We also wānanga about the future of haka, what competitive haka could like and how we may get there.

Ngā kupu o te haka. Paraone and Te Puaheiri look through He Tohu Whenua Rangatira - A judges compendium of terms used to describe aspects of haka, discussing a selection of kupu from it's glossary. Not only are these kupu for haka but also for our daily use. A challenge is issued to all kapa and non-participating to use these kupu kei ngaro.

He aha te reo o te kaiwhakawā o te kaiwhiriwhiri rānei? What is the language of the judge? What are some of the remarks they make when marking certain items of the kapahaka bracket?
Kahurangi also explains the techinicality of the poi.
