Nō whea te karanga?

Ko Haupai Puke, kei Pūrekireki-Wīwī Marae, Pirongia

He Kupu Whakataki

E huatakina ana e au te ako mō te karanga mā te rāranga i tētehi whāriki.

Ko ngā whenu e kōrero nei, ko te orokohanga o te ao me te mana o te wahine, atua mai, tangata mai. Kātahi ka whakamārama mai i te wairuatanga mō te karanga. Whai atu i tēnā, ka whakamahuki i te karanga me ngētehi o ngā āhuatanga. Hei tāpiri atu, ka tirohia te kawe o te karanga i te pōwhiri. Nā, ka tapiki atu ki te whakarārangi i ngētehi tikanga hei aronga mō te kaikaranga.

He tīmatanga noa iho tēnei hei tūāpapa mō ngā akoranga me ngā wheako, whanake ake nei.

Ko te mana o te wahine nō te orokohanga

I te tīmatanga, ko Te Kore. Ka tautini, ka taumano ngōna tini āhuatanga katoa. Ka whakatauiratia mai, he mana tō te wā, kia manawanui tātou. Ko te tuarua, ko Te Pō. Nō konei, i ahu mai ai te ira wahine kia puta ake te ira atua.

Ko Papatūānuku te matua o te tangata [1]. Nōna anō ngā tikanga o te manaaki, o te aroha, o te whāngai, o te takohanga hoki a te whaea ki tāna tamaiti. Ko te tino tauira o te tamaiti, ko tōna whaea; kāore i kō atu i a Papatūānuku. Nōna hoki te reo tuatahi i riro ai i te wahine te mana o te karanga.

Ko Hine-ahu-one te tangata tuatahi o tō tātou nei ao, ā, ko te tangata tuatahi i hongia. Nāna i whakatauira mai te tapu o te wahine, ka mutu, he tapu tō te whare tangata. Me aro tātou ki te hā o Hine-ahu-one hei whakakite i te rerehua o tātou, o te wahine.

Katoa ngēnei tauira nō te orokohanga o te ao, e whakaahua ana i te mana me te tapu o te wahine inā tū ana ia hei kaikaranga mō tōna marae, otirā, mō tōna iwi.

Ko te Wairuatanga

Kia tauwehea te kupu ‘wairua’ ki te ‘wā-i-rua’, e mōhiotia ana, e rua ngā wāhi e kuhu ana te kaikaranga i te wā kotahi.[2] Ko te ao kikokiko me te ao wairua; ko te tangata whenua me te manuwhiri; ko te pō me te ao mārama. Waihoki, he hou katoa ngēnei tū āhuatanga e raranga haere ana, ā, me takatū te kaikaranga.

Ko tā te kaikaranga mahi, he tūhonohono i ngā ao e rua nei mā te whakaputa o tōna reo, mā ngāna kupu, mā te heke o te hūpē, me te rere o ngā roimata. Ka tutū te hīnawanawa o te kiri, ko te wairua tērā. He mea ka rangona e te whatumanawa. Ko tōna tikanga, ka whakaohooho te karanga i te wairua o te minenga kua tatū mai.

He aha oti te karanga?

He maioha, he reo rāhiri te karanga. Ko ngā tini kaupapa katoa nō tuaukiuki, i tīmataria e te karanga. Nō te reo tuatahi nei, ka whārikihia te tūāpapa o te wairua o ngā hui. Koinei pea te take me tino whakapono te kaikaranga ki te wairua e taea ai e ia te whiri i ngāna kupu. Ko tā te karanga, anō nei he taura kei waenga i te ao kikokiko me te ao wairua.  

Ko te tino pūtake o te karanga, ko te kāre ā-roto me puta. Ka tukua te puna roimata kia rere hei whakamāmā i te mamae. He ora hoki kei roto i tēnā. Me mate tūturu te tangata kia rongo i te matemateāone, i te aroha hōhonu nei.

Ko te rangi o te karanga, he tōiri, he waitī e taurite ana ki te whakawhānautanga mai o te pēpi ki te ao tūroa. Ka tau atu tōu reo ki tētehi taumata e tika ana mōu kia tūhono atu ki tētehi ao kē atu, ki te ao wairua.[3] Kotahi tonu te hā o te karanga kia māro te haere o te raranga.

Ko tā te karanga mō te pōwhiri

Ko Donna Mahanga me ngā manuwhiri i te huritau ono tekau o tōku māmā

Nō aweko, ko te pōwhiri tonu te wā e tino kite ai ā tātou tikanga, ā, mohoa noa nei. Ka āta raupapahia ngā mahi a te tangata whenua me te manuwhiri me ngērā hoki a te wahine me te tāne. Nā reira, he wā tika ka kuhu mai ai te karanga.

Mā te haukāinga e wāwāhi kia eke te manuwhiri ki runga i te marae. Ka whakahokia e te kaikaranga tuatahi o te manuwhiri, ā, ka hua atu i te reo aumihi me te whakamōhio atu ko wai mā rātou, nō whea rātou, ā, ka hono atu hoki ki ngā whakapapa, ngā tohu whenua me ngā tāngata o te haukāinga.

Ko te karanga tuarua, he tangi, he whakamānawa atu hoki ki ngā tini mate o tēnā iwi, o tēnā iwi. Ka whakatara atu ngā kaikaranga i ngā wairua, ā, mā ngā tāne rātou e tuku me ā rātou whaikōrero. Ka tengi, ko ngā karanga e whakatakoto ana i te kaupapa e hui ai te minenga. Me hāngai pū ngā kupu ki te kaupapa. He tau-utuutu te whakahaere o te karanga; he tuku, he whakarongo, he whakautu.

Whakatakotoria tētehi koha, ka karanga atu te tangata whenua mō ngā whakaaro i horahia. Kāti rā, mutu ana te harirū, ka karanga te ope ki te tari o te ora, ki te kai. He tauira māmā noa iho tēnei, hoi, tārake ana te kitea, he tino tikanga tā te whanaungatanga a te Māori, tā te pōwhiri.

Ko ngā tikanga mō te karanga

Kāore i ārikarika ngā tikanga katoa a te karanga, nā reira, kua whakatūtira ngētehi tikanga matua hei whakaarotanga māku.

• Ko te reo Māori: kia eke kairangi te karanga, me eke hoki tōu reo Māori. Mā tōu reo e whakaputa ngā kāre ā-roto, e whakahāngai kupu ki te horopaki o te wā.
• Me mātua tautoko koe e tōu whānau, e tōu iwi hoki kia tū rangatira ai koe.
• Ko te hauora: arā, me pakari te hinengaro, te tinana me te wairua.
• Ko tōu hā: kei te puku tonu tōu kaha, me ako me pēwhea te tuku tika i tōu reo, pērā i ngā kaiwaiata.
• Ko te whakaharatau: rapua ngā wāhi pai mōu ki te tuku i ō karanga. Kei te taha moana, kei runga pātiki, kei ngā tihi o ngā rākau, ngētehi o ngā wāhi pai hei whakangungu.[4]
• Ko te whakarite i a koe anō i mua i te tuku i ngā karanga. He mea nui tēnei kia arahina koe me ō mahi.

He Kupu Whakakapi

Ko te karanga, he tuitui i a tātou. Ko te oro kē e tōia ana i te taha wairua, ā, ka hono ai te ao kikokiko ki te ao wairua. Ko ngā kupu, me tino hāngai ki te kaupapa kia ea, kia rerehua hoki.

Nā reira, ko wairua, ko whakaaro, ka puta ake a pūkenga.[5] Ko ngēnei ngā whenu matua hei waihanga i tōku whāriki.
