NGÁTI KURI TRUST BOARD TE MANAWA O NGÁTI KURI TRUST Annual Report 2018

The Pūpū whakarongotāua is one of Ngāti Kuri’s most treasured taonga. It is our kaitiaki. The pūpū (flax snail) is held in special regard by Ngāti Kurī as a guardian. This status is signified by its name – pūpū whakarongotauā, the snail that listens for war parties. When the snail is startled by human invaders who are quietly making their way through the flax stands, it lets out a high-pitched squeal, emanating from the rapid rush of air from its body as it deflates and retracts. The species is now endangered.

Tēnā koutou e ngā uri 1 o Ngāti Kuri

In Saana Murray’s lament “Te Kōkota o Pārengarenga” she writes:

Maranga mai e te rangatahi e, pupuritia tō koutou mana kei ngaro noa te tauranga waka e, te onepu kōkota o ngā tūpuna o Pārengarenga, o Ngāti Kuri. Arise, the younger generation, take hold of your heritage lest the canoe’s landing place, the white sands of the ancestors of Pārengarenga, of Ngāti Kuri, disappear forever.

It is within this context that Ngāti Kuri’s journey is being shaped.
