TIN CANNING & ATARANGI

KIA PIKI TE ORA!!!!

15TH NOVEMBER 2014 - HEI MANAAKI (WK 13)  

Fabulous to see so many new people every week coming to be apart of our roopu - each week we see to have alot of new faces, sharing stories and understandings about all sorts of kaupapa.

ATAARANGI 

This week Papa Te Kai took our new classmates through Karakia and counting using the Ataarangi Rakau method of learning Te Reo Maori.  It is so neat to see how different people react to this method of learning. 

TIN CANNING

Great to hear all the contributing stories to some excellent discussions on what "tin canning" was in the old days,  Whaea Winnie and Nana Porter shared how their whanau use to do tin canning which was a popular practice done around new years.  The practice had a number of variations depending on the area but never the least great to hear so many fabulous stories emerge from our elders - with so many of us younger generation never experiencing "tin canning".

WANANGA MAURI - INPUT AND DISCUSSION

This was some of the feedback from the hui we had with various community members in preparation for our Te Rarawa Wānanga in 2015. 

From this feedback came some wonderful discussions on Mauri that we will take with us to our next hui.

Hui for Te Rarawa Wānanga (conference) 6th November 2014

Mauri as a possible theme for conference

Look at workshops that are interactive

Concentrateon one thing (kaupapa) at a time

Government have already done the research and kōrero which is lost somewhere – need to change that it comes from a Iwi perspective so we are able to capture information and retain it how we want

Te Reo is an important waka to help transfer knowledge but we also need to be mindful of those without the reo

Karakia was important – not necessarily linked to a particular hāhi there were time for different types of karaki eg; preparation times at night, early morning.

We need to come back with to a second hui / wananga – bring kōrero with us focused on the theme/kaupapa “MAURI” -  to be held at a marae – Te Kai will look at maramataka to see what will be the best date to hold our next 1 day wānanga with our roopu.

There has been kuia /kaumātua hui with tamariki at Pukemiro and Aniwaniwa perhaps that is another area that we could join 

Papa Te Kai will look at the Marama taka to set our next hui date to be confirmed later
