TOPIC ONE: WHAKAWHANAUNGATANGA Timeframe: 1 week, 2 lessons
A famous Māori proverb says, “He aha te mea nui o te ao? He tangata, he tangata, he tangata!” (What is the most important thing in the world? It is people, it is people, it is people!) Manaakitanga or caring for people is of the utmost importance in te ao Māori. Whakawhanaungatanga is about building relationships, acknowledging people for who they are and trying to make connections.

1.1 greet, farewell, and acknowledge people and respond to greetings and acknowledgments

TOPIC 2: MIHIMIHI Time frame: 5 weeks, 10 lessons
Tikanga Māori - Inoi / Karakia/ Mihimihi/ Waiata tautoko
In Te Ao Māori karakia are ritual chants invoking spiritual guidance and protection. They are performed in every aspect of life. For example: welcoming the dawn and farewelling the day, to ensure a safe journey, blessing food, carving a wharenui etc. With the introduction of Christianity to New Zealand in the 19th Century, new karakia were written to acknowledge the Christian God and Jesus Christ.
Similarly in most gatherings (hui) it is customary for a person to welcome everyone that is attending by performing a mihi whakatau. Following the mihi a waiata is sung in support of the person who welcomed everyone. In class this year all students will learn waiata and how to give a mihi whakatau.
Achievement Objectives:
1.4 communicate about personal information, such as name, parents’ and grandparents’ names, iwi, hapū, mountain and river, or home town and place of family origin
1.5 communicate about location
1.6 understand and use simple polite conventions, for example, ways of acknowledging people, expressing regret and complimenting people
3.1 communicate, including comparing and contrasting, about habits, routines and customs
Activity:
In following tikanga Māori, at the beginning and end of each class, everyone will stand and recite the karakia together. To begin with, students will repeat each line of the karakia after the teacher until they are able to remember the words and perform it comfortably on their own.
Following the karakia timatanga, a class member will stand and perform a mihi whakatau to welcome everyone to class. This will be followed by a waiata tautoko performed by the whole class.
