Homework:
Reread Preface: Understand that this has been written so tamariki have the information. It is the history of the fight for justice.
Notes
On the Maps pages it shows the 15 marae, it shows places of significance waitapu
Tumoana arrives from Rangitea rather than Hawaiki although this is debated amongst Maori. In the islands they have the stories of Tumoana and state that he came from there. It could have been a stop off point we do not know. Tumoana goes to the Hokianga and eventually moves to Tauroa then to Kohanga (Shipwreak Bay).
He departs back for home from Tauroa and tells Kahutianui that he will let her know when he arrives (he was an old man by this stage). His signal was 3 waves Long sweeping wave (roa), Huge high wave (nui) and another that came right up onto the land (paewhenua) a strike of lightening (the mark can still be seen at Kohanga) and a whirlwind - these were the tohu.
We know the story of Te Parata and how only Rangitira were allowed on the Mamaru (Ranga - weave. Tira - group). He came to Kohanga and meet Kahutianui. They stayed for a while until Kahutianui and her brother fell out. They moved Motu-o-pae Murimotu, Maraewhiti where Te Whanau Moana was born. They moved onto Karikari where the big Wheke blocked their path, came around Waipapa, Rangiawhiao (navigate in 1 day) Whatawhiwhi, this is where they found a channel that lead them around Puwheke(Te Rorohui) where Parata stayed a long time and then eventually to Taipa (Te Rorohui). Kahutianui and Parata spilt with Parata starting a relationship with his mother in law Kahukuraariki
Addition to the story of Parata. When he was given the Tinana he made substantial changes to it. In particular was the sail which he made to be able to catch more air - he ra - flat sail
Komamaru - Bend in the sail due to taking so much air
Komaru - slicing through the sea
Tauparara - The taupararpara in the book just explains that Ngati Kahu is spread wide from Wainui at Ahipara to Wairoa in Dargaville
Piko mai te taku manu, kake mai taku manu, te taha o wainui, te taha o wairoa, ka tu rupe ki tai, ka whakakiki, ka whakakaka, Nau mai, piki mai, haere mai.
1850 many hui held to discuss Maori law so this would not be lost by the pressures of Pakeha / church etc
Mana is handed down by the gods to humans.. They must do everything in accordance to that spiritual power.
The creation story explains how Io the supreme being (not human/ parentless) over many aeons (100000 years) fertilised Te Po giving 'Mauri' life
Io then brought about the first gods Papa and Rangi. Rangi would not let go of Papa so Io sent rebellian down and all tyhe gods except Tawhiri turned on Ranginui and sent him up to the sky. Tane then took Ranginui place and had many brothers with many different roles. Maori believe they come from Papa so therefore they are part of the earth, not above, not below but connected. Therrfore you cannot be separated from from your whenua as you are Mana Whenua. Your job is to be the caretaker. Your Mana depends on how well it is cared for. Example the rahui at Maitai Bay. But you cannot walk into another hapu whenua and exercise authority.
Anyhow
Tane then created the first human hine-ahu-one they had a daughter called Hine Titama who Tane also had a child with. She found out and became the caretaker of the portal between life and death Hine-nui-te-po.
Tikanga is Maori law. It is very flexiable. Before hui they will debate the tikanga for the meeting etc.
Tiaki - look after
kai - doer of the action
Rangatiratanga
Ranga - shoal of fish
raranga - weave
tira group of people
Whanaungatanga - Developing relationhsips
