TE WHATAHORO FOXI kuraina ahau ki Te Kura Kaupapa Māori/Wharekura oWairarapa, ki Te Kura Whakapūmau i Te Reo Tūturu kiWaitaha, ki Te Kura Kaupapa Māori/Wharekura o NgāMokopuna, ki Rathkeale College me Makoura College.Nā te aha koe i ngākaunui ai ki te reo Māori?Nā te rongo tonu i tona ataahua, i tona makere iho ingā ngutu tino mātau. Te māmā noa o te whakaniko,o te whakaataahua i te kupu kōrero, me tona rōreka irō waiata, i rō haka, i rō whakataukī. Ka mutu, hei ngāmahi kapahaka, ka āhei te tangata ki te whakapuaki ingā rei o ngā take Maori.NĀ TE WHATAHORO FOX TĒNEI WHAKAAHUAI toa a Te Whatahoro Fox i te whakataetae ManuKōrero ā-rohe i Te Awakairangi ki Te Wairarapa. Ko ia itohua kia haere ki ngā whakataetae Manu Kōrero ā-motu ki Tauranga Moana. I tuatoru a ia i te wāhangaPei Te Hurinui, ā, ka riro i a ia Te Mumuhau Tākeretauo Mataatua.Nōku i Te Wairarapa, ka uiui au i a ia. Nikā ōnawhakaaro:Ko wai tō ingoa?He ingoa tuku iho nō tōku tipuna, kia whitu ngāreanga whakapapa ki muri. Ko Whatahoro Fox tōkuingoa.E hia ō tau?Tekau mā whitu aku tau.Ko wai ō iwi?Ki te taha o tōku pāpā, ko Ngāti Porou te iwi, koHinerupe te hapū, ko Hinerupe tonu te marae. Ki tōkutūrangawaewae, ki tōku ūkaipō, arā, ki te Wairarapanei, ko Ngāti Kahungunu te iwi, ko Ngāi Tāneroa rātauko Ngāi Tumapuhia-ā-rangi ko Ngāti Moe ngā hapū, koHurunui-o-rangi rātau ko Pāpāwai ko Te Unuunu ngāmarae.I kuraina koe i hea?He aha ō wawata mō te reo Māori?He hiahia nōku ki te whai atu i te tohu PhD mō temātauranga Māori, kātahi ka whakauru atu ai ki teTaura Whiri i Te Reo Māori, ki Te Puni Kōkiri rānei. Kote wāhanga tōrangapu mō ngā take Māori tētahiāhuatanga kia taea ai e au te whai, arā, he rautaki anōhoki tērā e whai wāhi ai te reo Māori ki waenga i ngāhāpori Māori.Ki tāu i whakaaro ai, ka ora tonu tēnei reo mō aketonu atu?Kua rerekē katoa te reo i te huringa o te ao. Ka huritonu te reo, nō reira ki a au, kua kore e rite te reo onāia ki te reo o nehe. E kore e rite te reo o ngā rā emaeke nei ki te reo o nāia, engari e whakapono ana auki te whakataukī: “ko te reo e kōrerotia, koia ko te reoka ora”. Koirā te take i hiahia ai ahau kia whai mahi aui tētahi āhuatanga e āhei ai au ki te hanga rautaki kiapai ai te whakaora i te reo, hei reo kōrero tonu mōngā māngai o te iwi Māori.Me pēhea te whakaora i te reo Māori?Ki a au, e māmā ai te ako a ngā kōhungahunga o tekōhanga reo, me tīmata tonu mai i ngā waiata, i ngāwhakataukī me ngā kīwaha, ā, ko tōna tinowhakahirahira ko ngā whakamārama. I ngā akorangareo, me mātau te ākonga ki tāna i ako ai. Koia ko terautaki ako, heoi, ko te rautaki ora, ko te kōrero. E aiki te Aho Matua o ngā Kura Kaupapa Māori “...Kāhorehe painga o te ture, o Te Tiriti rānei, mehemea kāhorete reo i te ngākau, te whatumanawa, i roto hoki i temāngai o te iwi Māori.” Me whai wāhi te reo Māori kiroto i te ngākau o te iwi Māori, kia whaihua ai te reo.Ngāti Kahungunu Iwi Inc. |Kahungunu matangi rau 27
