Te mahi ‘haututū’ a Lance O’Sullivan

E ai ki tēnei kōrero mō Lance O’Sullivan (‘Te Tākuta Pai’ e ai ki te pukapuka mōna) he mahi ‘disruptive’ tā Lance mahi hei tautoko i ngā tāngata pōhara i te Tai Tokerau. Ko ‘haututū’ te kupu i kōwhiritia e te kaituhi kia whakamāori ai i te kupu ‘disruptive.’ Heoi anō, he pai te pūrongo mō te pūmanawa tautono (app) i hangaia e Lance mā kia ngāwari ai te tātari i ngā māuiuitanga o ngā ākonga i ngā kura pōhara, kia mōhio ai he aha te raru, kia ngāwari ai te whakatika. E ai ki a Lance, kua hōhā ia i te tatari kia pai ai te hauora o ngā tāngata i te hapori i te Tai Tokerau.

Ngā mihi o te wā, o te wiki o te reo Māori… Mauri ora, koutou.

He whakaaro, me tētahi kiriata poto (nā Rā Pomare) mō te wiki o te reo Māori

He mea māori noa iho (ehara i te mea Māori anake!)

I tēnei pohi, he kiriata whakangahau mō te kīanga ‘Tau kē!’me ētahi whakaaro mō te wiki o te reo Māori.

Mena he kōrero Māori koe / kōrua/ koutou, kua hōhā i te wiki nei, me ngā kupu akiaki ki te ‘Korero Māori!!!!’ Ia rā, ia rā, ka whakarongo au ki te reo, ka kōrero au i te reo, ka ako mea hou i te reo… he mea māori noa iho, i kōrerotia e ētahi hoa Māori, hoa Pākehā, hoa Wīwī (me te whakaahua ki runga). Āe, ka auē hoki ahau ina ka rongo e toru orau o te motu nei he kōrero Māori. Āe mārika, me akiaki te nuinga kia ako ai, kia kōrero ai i te reo, otirā – ko te mea nui ki ahau, me tuku rauemi pai ki ngā mea e ako ana, kia pai ai ō rātou haerenga reo Māori.

Anei te  kiriata whakangahau, nā Rā Pomare; ko te whakaaro, e ai ki a ‘Spinoff’, ka puta mai he mea hou ia rā, ia rā o te wiki nei. Kia pai te wiki nei, me te ako tonu i tēnei reo rangatira.

Mauri ora rā!

Matariki me tōku whānau

Ngā whetū o Matariki

Ehara tōku whānau i te whānau Māori, otirā, i tōna wā, ka whai mātou i ētahi tikanga Māori. Ko Matariki tētahi… Ehara i te mea he mōhio mātou ki ngā whetū (ki ōku whakaaro, kāore anō i kitea e mātou ngā whetū e whitu), otirā, mō te noho tahi me te whakawhiti whakaaro mō ngā moemoeā, mō ngā rā me ngā tau e heke mai nei, āe rā – he tino kaha mātou. Ko tēnei tētahi o ngā mahi mātua i tēnei marama; i konei aku tamariki tokotoru (e toru?), ā, i āta kōrero mō ēnei momo kaupapa. Kei te moemoeā tonu hoki ngā tino pakeke o te whānau (ko māua ko tāku wahine)!

He mihi ki a koutou e whakatakoto ana i ā koutou mahere mo ngā wā e heke mai nei.

Mauri ora koutou….
