For the second time in Taringa history, we have an entire episode dedicated to Kīwaha. Check out this collection of snippets from episodes 67, through to episode 81, focusing on Māori colloquialism, or as Erica would say, "a funner way of saying something".

In this episode, our hosts listen to snippets of an interview from 1978 with the famous (or infamous) Whaia McClutchie. Whaia speaks about a range of topics, mainly to do with the role of women on the Marae.

This week, our hosts look at some tikanga pertaining to flags and the meaning that has been imbued into them as iwi, hapū and marae.

Patapatai. We at Taringa don’t answer your questions – we wānanga on them! Our latest instalment of patapatai has us in wānanga about whakaahua in the home, the use of English words in Māori sentences, types of karakia for kai and more. Whakarongo mai.

He aha te hapū? What is a hapū? Which hapū do you belong to? How do we define a hapū? How are hapū named? You won't get a straight answer however you may gain more context. Hoinō, hei te mutunga iho kei tō ihu tonu te kōrero.

E ngā taringa areare o te motu tēnā huri mai anō ki ngā patapatai o te wā. This week we answer your questions; pēpeha for Tangata Tiriti, differences between mihi & whaikōrero and reinforcing of mauri.
