Te Kāpehu Whetū Paerangi & Paenuku Whānau Pānui Te Kāpehu Whetū Paerangi & Paenuku Whānau Pānui Friday 17 April 2015 E kore e mōnehunehu te pūmahara ki ngā momo rangatira o neherā, nā rātou i toro te nukuroa o Te Moananui-a-Kiwa me Papatūānuku. Ko ngā tohu o ō rātou tapuwae i kākahutia ki runga i te mata o te whenua – he taonga, he tapu. Tihewa Mauriora! Mōkori anō kia mihia ngā mate tuatini o te wā e takoto ana i ngā marae huri noa i te motu. Hoki atu koutou ki te huinga o te kahurangi, te mūnga o te tini, o te mano, ā, kāti e moe. Tātou ngā mahuetanga iho ki a tātou. Tēnā rā tātou katoa. To say that Term 1 has been busy would be an extreme understatement! We have been involved in a wide range of mahi across all three pou Kia Māori, Kia Mātau, Kia Tū Rangatira ai. This mahi is important to establish a strong culture and build whanaungatanga in the Kura. Our ākonga, both at Paenuku and Paerangi, have excelled in everything that has been asked of them and have been a credit to themselves, our Kura and their whānau. Below, I have attempted to capture the events and activity we have been involved in so far this year. Paenuku A very significant event for us was the opening of Paenuku, our primary school, in February. We began with 40 ākonga and gained 4 more over the course of the Term. We are extremely proud of what the pouako and whānau of Paenuku have achieved in their first Term of existence and the way in which they have supported and participated in the life of Te Kāpehu Whetū. Paenuku Powhiri Kia Māori Our year started with the annual Hikoi. This year we decided to head to Te Hiku O te Ika and were hosted by Ngati Kuri, Te Rarawa and Te Kura Kaupapa Maori O Aniwaniwa. This was followed by our Leaders Retreat at Waitangi for our Kura Leaders. We were involved with a number of events that required us to give Kapa Haka performances including the debut of Paenuku at the Ngāti Hine Festival. Our Paerangi ākonga also performed at this Festival as well as an outstanding bracket at the Te Tai Tokerau Festival in Opononi. We also supported local mana whenua and the Mayor of Whangārei Sheryl Mai at the Pasefika Fusion Festival at Hihiaua. - Te Āhuareka o Ngāti Hine - Pasefika Fusion Festival - Te Tai Tokerau Festival A group of ākonga attended the opening day of the Hokianga Waitangi Tribunal Hearings at Tuhirangi Marae in Waima where they participated in the haka pōwhiri and supported the taumata with waiata tautoko. We hosted, on behalf of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade, a group of Ambassadors and Diplomats from over 30 countries as part of their Treaty of Waitangi commerations. We also hosted a group of Hawaiian educators who are connected with the Hokulea project to circumnavigate the globe and raise awareness of environmental issues.

Toi tū te kupu, toi tū te mana, toi tū te whenua” Kia Tū Rangatira ai The Leadership Academy of A Company has successfully integrated into the Kura and with the support of Academy staff we have been able to bring some of the Academy culture and practice into the daily and weekly operation of the Kura, in Paerangi and Paenuku. The Leadership Academy will provide the leadership stream in our kura for our young men. The Academy again took up their roles of responsibilty for the Field of Rememberance but this year, the commemoration of 100 years since Gallipoli, were joined by ākonga from Te Kāpehu Whetū Paerangi and Paenuku. Another important kaupapa the Academy, supported by Te Kāpehu Whetū, was involved with at the end of Term 1 was the launch of the Esther Muriwai Foundation with the Governor General Sir Jerry Mataparae as the Patron. Our cadets and taitamawāhine were involved in the haka pōwhiri, guard of honour and supporting the taumata with waiata tautoko at Pehiaweri Marae. In addition, we have had a very successful Term in the various sports we have participated in. We had a boys and a girls Volleyball team competing at the Northland Secondary Competition, our waka ama crews competing at the National Secondary Competition and a number of ākonga who competed at the Northland Secondary Athletics Competition, including Waimahana Henare winning regional shot put and representing Northland at Nationals. Kyneval Mokaraka represented our kura at the NSSA outdoor lawn bowls coming TE KĀPEHU WHETŪ PAERANGI | 185 LOWER DENT ST, WHANGAREI | PH: 09 4384 228| WWW.MOKONZ.CO.NZ placing 1st in the Intermediate Boys Bowls Championship. We also had ākonga represent Northland at the National Touch Tournament. Last of all, the Trust purchased a Waka Tētē that seats 22, from Matua Hekenukumai Busby and we will be launching it up in Doubtless Bay on ANZAC Day (more information on that next week). Matua Hec put his hand on us and named our Kura and now we have a symbol of that relationship with him, The Waka Fratenity and The Pacific. The Waka will be utilised for waka training in the inner harbour by Paerangi and seniors from Paenuku. It introduces waka back into Whangarei, allowing us to regain some of the cultural knowledge around waka and to and grow this area of our culture. Overall it has been a very, very busy but rewarding start to the year, the focus will now shift onto Kia Mātau (Be Educated) for Terms 2 & 3 but we will continue to promote and create opportunities in Kia Māori and Kia Tū Rangatira ai.

Social network platforms provide a variety of domains where indigenous-language communities are able to communicate in their own languages. Although the capability exists, is social networking being used by indigenous-language communities? This paper reports on one particular social networking platform, Twitter, by using two separate methodologies. First, Twitter statistics collated from the Indigenous Tweets website are analysed. The data show that languages such as Basque, Haitian Creole, Welsh, Irish Gaelic, Frisian and Kapampangan do have a presence in the “Twittersphere”. Further analysis for te reo Mäori (the Mäori language) shows that tweets in te reo Mäori are rising and peak when certain events occur. The second methodology involved gathering empirical data by tweeting in te reo Mäori. This served two purposes: it allowed an ancillary check on the validity of the Indigenous Tweets data and it allowed the opportunity to determine if the number of indigenous- language tweets could be infl uenced by the actions of one tweeter. * Senior Lecturer, Computer Science Department, University of Waikato, Hamilton, New Zealand.

  • Māori Mental Health Consumers' Sensory Experience of Kapa Haka
    Māori mental health consumers’ sensory experience of Kapa Haka and its utility to occupational therapy practice. Research article Māori mental health consumers’ sensory experience of Kapa Haka and its utility to occupational therapy practice. Tania Hollands, Daniel Sutton, Valerie Wright-St. Clair, Raymond Hall. Abstract Sensory modulation is an emerging occupational therapy intervention within adult mental health services. However, cultural variations in the use of sensory modulation have not been directly explored. In New Zealand, the traditional performing arts of kapa haka are used within Māori services as a cultural intervention. This qualitative study explored Māori mental health consumers’ sensory experiences during kapa haka via in-depth interviews. Participants experienced feeling safe, being grounded in their bodies, and having an enhanced cultural identity. The findings support the use of culturally-responsive sensory modulation activities within occupational therapy practice and highlight the need for further research. Key words Sensory modulation, cultural responsiveness Reference Hollands, T., Sutton, D., Wright-St. Clair, V., & Hall, R. (2015).

  • SPIRIT and SONG of the MAORI of AOTEAROA {NEW ZEALAND} ANN CLEMENTS “Kei a Te Po Te Timatatanga O Te Waiatatanga Mai a Te Atua
    SPIRIT AND SONG OF THE MAORI OF AOTEAROA {NEW ZEALAND} ANN CLEMENTS “Kei a te Po te timatatanga o te waiatatanga mai a te Atua. Ko te Ao, ko te Ao marama, ko te Ao turoa.”1 It was in the night that the gods sang the world into existence. From the world of light, into the world of music. MAORI are the indigenous people of Aotearoa (island of the “long white cloud”) or New Zealand. According to Maori mythology, music called the world into creation. As soon as the gods turned night into light, they turned light into music. The connotation of this story is that when life fi rst appeared, it brought with it the complexities of living experience, including emotions that are most easily and genuinely expressed through music. All Maori songs (waiata) stem from the emotions that the gods displayed during creation. “There are songs of sorrow, anger and lament; of loneliness, desire and joy; of peace and love.”2 These aesthetic attributes of music echo music’s functions and uses globally. Humans use music to defi ne, represent, symbolize, and unify or disrupt society. Music is an expression of our social, political, spiritual, and self and group identity. Within Maori culture, music plays all of these roles—from its imperative position in sacred (tapu) ritual to its unifying task in the preservation, creation, and demonstration of group identity. Music is a primary social adhesive that has sustained Maori culture and heritage for hundreds of years.

  • Haka and Hula Representations in Tourism
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by ResearchArchive at Victoria University of Wellington Haka and hula representations in tourism A thesis submitted to Victoria University of Wellington for the degree of Master of Arts in the School of Māori Studies (Te Kawa a Māui) Victoria University of Wellington November 2009 By Acushla Deanne O’Carroll I Abstract Haka and hula performances tell stories that represent histories, traditions, protocols and customs of the Māori and Hawai’ian people and give insight into their lives and the way that they see the world. The way that haka and hula performances are represented is being tested, as the dynamics of the tourism industry impact upon and influence the art forms. If allowed, these impacts and influences can affect the performances and thus manipulate or change the way that haka and hula are represented. Through an understanding of the impacts and influences of tourism on haka and hula performances, as well as an exploration of the cultures’ values, cultural representations effective existence within the tourism industry can be investigated. This thesis will incorporate the perspectives of haka and hula practitioners and discuss the impacts and influences on haka and hula performances in tourism. The research will also explore and discuss the ways in which cultural values and representations can effectively co-exist within tourism.

    Ngā tapuwae o te haka – Māori perspectives on haka in sport Nicole Timu School of Physical Education, Sport and Exercise Sciences Te Kura Para-Whakawai Division of Sciences Te Rohe a Ahikaroa University of Otago Te Whare Wānanga o Otago PO Box 56, DUNEDIN NEW ZEALAND Ngā tapuwae o te haka – Māori perspectives on haka in sport Nicole Timu Supervisors Professor Steve Jackson and Dr Anne-Marie Jackson A thesis submitted for the degree of Master of Physical Education at the University of Otago, Dunedin New Zealand 30 July 2018 ii Abstract The most prominent element of tikanga Māori which is consistently integrated, adopted and adapted into the sporting realm is haka. Haka has a multitude of meanings, as a ritual of encounter, as an expression of identity and a form of entertainment (Karetu, 1993; Armstrong, 2005). It is by far the most visible indigenous ritual and is often used alongside rugby to signify Aotearoa (New Zealand’s) national identity. Performances of haka have evolved over the years, predominantly due to associations of the haka ‘Ka Mate’ with the New Zealand All Blacks. Arguably, on a global stage haka is what makes New Zealanders instantly identifiable. But who benefits? Do the Kiwis who benefit? Is it the global spectator? The game of rugby? The commercial giants? Māori? Who? Moreover, at what expense are others benefiting from haka? A major source of contention surrounds the impact of globalisation. Issues such as misuse, commodification, appropriation, ownership, tokenism and a general lack of understanding about the customary practice, continues to surface both nationally and internationally.
