Taringa Podcast

We share our thoughts on the "huruhuru" debate, talk in depth about how to learn about Whakapono Māori and what it means to you.

In this two-part Matariki special, we reflect on the recent revitalisation of tikanga Matariki, and look at how the umu kohukohu whetū used to be conducted in a traditional way, then at Paraone's house, we give examples of how anyone can do their own hautapu ceremony using what you have at home.

This episode was filmed and released on Māori TV in 2 episodical parts - to watch the episodes go here:

Part 1 - Matariki Revitalisation

Part 2 - Matariki Hautapu at home

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.

Back in the studio, we bring you the engaging story of Putauaki and Tarawera - a fable of a meandering course of love, and the breaking points of two Maunga.

Tia Gillet skypes in to join us for a chat about the large Iwi from the eastern Waikato of New Zealand - Ngati Hauā, featuring our very first impromptu whānau performance of Waiata o te wiki.

This week's kīwaha is "Ō roke" (load of bullsh*t, you're full of it!)

This episode was recorded prior to the Covid-19 Government enforced Level 4 restrictions. 

Harikai are a genre of haka that are traditionally performed around food offered and enjoyed at significant occasions. Particular Harikai were composed for particular foods. Learn more about it as our 3 food loving hosts give some examples and talk about the meaning behind the custom.

The hosts challenge each other on their historical knowledge around the Treaty of Waitangi. Along the way, they talk about some of the facts and offer some thoughts surrounding this important kaupapa.

Giving or receiving a Taonga have important customs that relate to the origins and purpose of adornment.

The first question session of 2020 - Paraone and Erica talk about Kūmuri Hāngū, Reo around taking photos, mis-use of macrons, kupu rata, and Paraone's choice of 3 prominent whaikōrero speakers of the current time.

In this episode we listen to some historical Whaikōrero from the archives, and discuss their meaning, style, and impact.
