Kia Orana & Greetings to all!

We are still continuing with this story (I guess you could say this is part 2?)

Today  we are focusing on the second part of this book.

Hani & Puna

When the Tainui waka was buried at Maketu, each rock was placed at each end.The rocks we're given names Hani and the other named Puna. A special karakia was formed over each  rock. Through these karakia, Hani became the symbol or well-being and strength for people, while Puna would help the peopleto harvest food, to hunt birds and prosper.

Te Korotangi

This is a sacred bird that is believed to have led the Tainui waka from Hawaiki to Aotearoa. Some also believe that after diving into Aotea Harbour (Neighboring harbour to the north of Kawhia),  The bird was discovered centuries later fossilized and entangled in the roots of a manuka tree. To this day,  Te Korotangi sits in a sacred marae in the Waikato region where he is protected and admired by many.

A tale of the sacred tree

~.💚~.💚~.💚~.💚~.💚~.💚~.💚~.💚~.💚~.💚~.💚~.💚~.💚~.💚~.💚.~

There was once a woman named Parewhaita

who kept a duck as a pet. Her children became jealous of the duck

because she cared for it more than them.

The children started to mistreat it, stealing its

food and pushing it around.

Tired and hungry,

the duck flew away,never to be seen again.

Parewhaita searched all over kawhia, she even traveled north as far as Aotea 

Harbour in the hope that her beloved pet was there,but,

unfortunately, it wasn't. She then returned to 

Kawhia Harbour, but still no luck. In

her sadness, Parewhaita sang a mournful song. The song whistled through the 

air and the nearby pohutukawa tree became known as Tangi-te-korowhiti, 

which can be translated as the sad song of Parewhaita floating

through the air.

Reading for today Monday,April,20th of 2020 [Kawhia Harbour]

                                                                 Kia orana & Greetings to all!

Today I received my homework from the Ministry of Education and was tempted to check it out, So I found this book called 'Kawhia harbour' by 'Kawhia moana', Of course I haven't heard of this place before so I searched it up on google to look for more information about what the book would be about. Kawhia  Harbour is apparently one of the three large lakes that is natural in the Tasman Sea coast   of the Waikato region of New Zealand.

This location is very historical & admired to most people who are 

descended from Tainui Waka.

Use Google Maps to find Kawhia Harbour

The waka was tied to a pohutukawa tree

that is now known as  wahi tapu, It is now a sacred place.The waka was then moved to a small

hill at Maketu named Te Ahurei,where it is buried to this very day.

The relationship that combines Maori and their natural environment is shown in multiple ways,

one is through using expression through a traditional pepeha. This pepeha is a sense of showing which particular area they come from.

💚

Ko Tainui te waka

Tanui is the canoe

Ko Pirongia te maunga 

Pirongia is the mountain

Ko Kawhia te moana 

Ka  Kawhia is the harbour

Ko Hoturoa te tangata 

Hoturoa is the cheif
