Karakia
Karakia are often mistaken as prayers but in their true essence, they are ritual chants invoking spiritual guidance and protection. These karakia are poetic and full of beautiful imagery and metaphor and are often difficult to translate into English words. Translations need to be considered more metaphorically.
With the introduction of Christianity to New Zealand in the 19th Century, new karakia were written to acknowledge the Christian God and Jesus Christ. These karakia have been used since that time, however there is a current move towards using our more traditional karakia (which were often chanted or ‘sung’), which call upon many of our Atua (Gods/guardians) for direction.
Whakataka te hau Karakia
Whakataka te hau ki te uru
Get ready for the westerly
Whakataka te hau ki te tonga
and be prepared for the southerly.
Kia mākinakina ki uta
It will be icy cold inland,
Kia mātaratara ki tai
and icy cold on the shore.
E hī ake ana te atākura
May the dawn rise red-tipped
He tio, he huka, he hau hū
on ice, on snow, on frost.
Tihei mauri ora!
Whakawhanaungatanga & Mihimihi
This week we will do some activities to get to know each other and build relationships so that we can become like family. You will learn how to do a simple mihi and introduce yourself in te reo Māori.
A mihi (or mihimihi) is an introduction which can take place at the beginning of a gathering or meeting. It is used to establish links with other people present and let people know who you are, and where you come from. Being able to introduce yourself in te reo Māori is a helpful tool that we can all use at work or in our everyday lives.
Step 1: Your name
My name is ____
Ko ____ tōku ingoa
Tip: You can use your first name only or your full name. It's up to you!
Step 2: Where your ancestors come from (if you know)
My ancestors are from ____
Nō ____ ōku tīpuna
If you want to say more than one place name just add the word 'me' ('and') right before the final place name eg
Nō place #1 me place #2 ōku tīpuna (2 places) or
Nō place #1 , me place #2 me place #3 ōku tīpuna (3+).Step 3: Where you live now
I live in ____
Kei te noho au ki ____
Tip: It’s important to know your history. You can research and find the Māori place name for your town, city or country at www.maoridictionary.co.nz. And don't forget the macrons - they can change the meaning of a word!
Karawhiua whānau!

Using the word "the" or Te & Ngā
The word ‘the” refers to a specific object. There is no 'S' in the Māori alphabet so the word that comes before the noun shows that something is either singular or plural.
‘te’ means the ........ when there is one object
‘ngā’ means the ..........when there is more than one object
For example,
te tama = the boy. ngā tama = the boys
Activities
1. Complete the worksheet on our google classroom page.
2. Learn the words from your vocabulary list

NGA NAMA
All numbers in Maori are made up from the numbers 1-10, plus a few extra words.
1 kotahi, tahi 6. ono hundred = rau
2. rua. 7. whitu thousand = mano
3. toru 8. waru million = miriona
4. wha 9. iwa
5. rima 10 tekau
When you get to numbers over 10, you make the word by saying how many thousands, hundreds, tens and ones there are.
eg 52 5 tens and 2. rima tekau ma rua mā = and
3 hundreds 4 tens and 5 toru rau wha tekau mā rima
If there is ONE hundred or ONE thousand, we use the word KOTAHI
122 KOTAHI rau rua tekau ma rua (We only use 'mā' before anything in the “ones” column)
347 toru rau wha tekau mā whitu.
If there is no thousands, hundreds or tens etc in a particular column we just leave it out.
2006 rua mano mā ono (don’t say no hundreds and no tens)
-
Giving numbers a place order ( 1st, 2nd, 3rd 4th etc)
The prefix 'tua' before a number gives the number a placing. It is only used for numbers 1-9.
For example: tuatahi = 1st. tuarua = 2nd. tuatoru = 3rd tuawhā = 4th and so on.
For 10th 11th 12th etc we just use the word 'te' before the number
te tekau = 10th te tekau mā tahi = 11th and so on.
Writing the date in te reo Māori
Ko (day) te (date) o (month).
Ko Rāhina te tuatahi o Haratua (Monday 1st of May)
-
Pronouns:
These are words used instead of a name.
au or ahau me, myself, I
koe you
ia he/she
Asking where someone is from?
“Nō hea?” is used to ask someone where they are from originally or where their ancestors come from.
It does not mean where you are living now.
Nō hea koe? Where do you come from?
Nō Haina ahau I am from China (my ancestors are from China)
To ask where someone else comes from we use:
Nō hea ia? Where does she come from?
Nō Ahitereiria ia She comes from Australia

- Whakapapa is important. It defines a person and his or her links within the whānau and to other groups. It governs the relationships between them.
- Whakapapa is a much broader concept than the concept of a family tree. Through whakapapa, each person may belong to different groups: whānau, hapū, iwi, and waka.

Asking where something is located?
To ask where something is located in the present tense we use the phrase
Kei hea? Where is?
Kei hea tō kura? Where is your school? Kei Mission Heights taku kura
To answer we replace the word 'hea' (where) with the place or location as in the example above.
Saying where you live
The word "Kei" at the beginning of a Māori sentence is used to show the location of something presently.
For example,
Kei Flatbush taku kainga My home is in Flatbush
-
Asking & Saying someone's age
To ask someone how old they are we ask:
E hia ō tau? How old are you? (Literally: How many years are you?)
E tekau ma tahi aku tau. I am 11 years old
As in the example above, to answer, we replace the question word 'hia' with the number of years.

You will be able to:
- Draw a whakapapa chart (family tree)
- Say who people are in your whānau

- Give a speech to introduce yourself and your whānau
Tikanga
In te ao Māori, the concept of whānau extends beyond parents and children to include grandparents, grandchildren, uncles, aunts, cousins, nieces, nephews, and others.
Whakapapa means genealogy or family history. This is important in te ao Māori as it defines who you are and your links within the whānau and to other groups. It governs the relationships between them. Your whakapapa connects you to your ancestors and the whenua where they came from. Through whakapapa, each person may belong to different groups: whānau, hapū, iwi, and waka.
Hei Mahi
Draw a whakapapa chart as above for your immediate whānau. Include your grandparents.

To ask who someone else is we ask:
