Taringa Podcast

Our kaikōrero Anameka Paenga joins us from Ōpōtiki and talks with us about the eastern bay of plenty iwi named after a Tupuna Wāhine - Muriwai.

Come with us as we dig deep in the archives of Ngā Taonga Sound and Vision to listen to some sound clips of te tānga o te kawa o te whare (tapu removing ceremony of a whare). Our hosts look at some of the intricacies of this ritual and shed light on some of it's aspects and practices.

What is cultural appropriation? And how does it affect us? As an individual and a collective - what are our responsibilities?' This kōrero looks at how Tikanga is adopted or used in other cultures, and unpacks some of the implications around cases of it being exploited or mis-used, across several culteres.

Heeni Brown brings us some interesting Tipuna stories and wonderful Iwi dialect from the far North.

Continuing on from our Anzac special, we profile several waiata that originated from past times of conflict. We listen, unpack their meaning, evolution and application.

The kīwaha from this episode is "te tū ana te puehu" (something bad is going to go down)

This tribute kōrero is not just about our Soldiers that went to war, but also about those at home who held down the Whānau and Iwi roots and adjusted their Tikanga while watching their world change around them.

Our Kīwaha o te wiki is "kei raro e putu ana" (I'm not doing too well, I've hit rock bottom)

Here are the lyrics for our Waiata o te wiki:

Ngā Whare Pa

Verse 1:

Powhiritia a nga morehu

Te iwi, tangihia

Te mamae e, me te pouri nui

Tenei ra kua mahea

Chorus:

Hoki mai ra!

Hoki mai ra ki te kaianga

E tatari atu nei ki a koutou

Nga tau roa i ngaro atu ai. E aroha

e ngau kino nei i ahau

Verse 2:

Ngā whare pa tenei huakina

Te iwi kia koa

Kua hoki mai nga tamariki toa

Ki te ao ora

TRANSLATION:

Welcome home the survivors.

All of you who have been mourning

The inward grief, and great mourning

today is cleared away.

  Welcome home!

  Welcome back to the village

  that has been waiting for you.

  Long years you have been gone. Sorrow

  has gnawed within me.

Open wide the doors of our homes

Everybody rejoice

The brave boys have returned

to the world of (normal) life.

We listen to some historical excerpts of Wāhine Te Reo speakers, and discuss the significance and content of the kōrero whilst unpacking the surrounding Tikanga.
