Taringa Podcast

Delving deep back into the archives, Paraone and Snowy listen to some excerpts from the 1988 Aotearoa Traditional Māori Performing Arts Festival (now called Matatini) which was held in Whāngarei. We also have a special impromptu phone call with a prolific Māori composer to offer their insights to this event, who could it be?! Whakarongo mai to find out, e te iwi.

Ka whakapuakina e Ngāhuia Murphy ana rangahau me ōna whakaaro mō ngā āhuatanga o te wahine Māori i ngaro i ngā tau. Ka kōrerotia te tapu me te mana o te wahine i mua te aupēhia o te mana o te wahine Māori e te Pākeha, e tōna whakapono, e āna tuhinga hoki. Dr Ngāhuia Murphy talks about her research and ideas regarding the status of wahine Māori, which had been lost in recent history. The sanctity and reverence of women (before their oppression by Western beliefs, ideologies and historical writing) is also discussed.

MC Grammar and the team have an in-depth discussion on the use of "mai", "nā" and "rā"

In this week's "Iwi O Te Wiki" episode, Dr Wayne Ngata shares kōrero about Te Aitanga a Hauiti

In honour of our national day of commemoration of the NZ Land Wars, this installment of Once Upon a Taima is a brief version of the battle of Ō-Rākau in 1864. This version is based on the account of Hitiri Te Paerata, a Chief of Ngāti Raukawa & Ngāti te Kohera, who fought in the battle himself - losing many of his whānau, including his Father and Brother. To read more about Hitiri, go here: http://www.enzb.auckland.ac.nz/document/?wid=2006

ko te whakahokinga mai o ngā kōiwi tupuna ehara i te hanga. The repatriation of ancestors' bones is by no means an insignificant feat. We talk with Paraone about his experience travelling to Vienna to bring back our tūpuna. We discuss the preparation and the tikanga that was involved in carrying out such a task. Kia āta whakarongo e hoa mā ehara tēnei kaupapa i te hanga.

MC Grammar is back again, with another deep-dive into the intricacies of our reo. This time, the crew take a look at the various ways to say "and".

While Paraone is still away in Austria, Snowy and Erica answer more questions from you, e Ngai Taringa. They discuss favourite kaimoana, give some advice on using intructional Reo in the house. They also have a brief look at the kupu "hei", using numbers in a listing format and share some thoughts on non-Māori teaching te reo Māori.

Ko ngā kaupapa i puta mai i te Petihana Te Reo Māori i ngā tau rima tekau tau ki mua pēhea te tini! Ka whakarongo tātou ki ētahi o ngā kōrero i hopukina ai i taua rā i te 14 o Hepetema o te tau 1972. Ka kōrero a Erica rāo ko Te Puaheiri mō te hunga nāna anō te kaupapa, te hunga i tae atu ki Paremata, ngā hua i puta me ngā kaupapa e tohea tonutia o moroki nei.

Ka aha koe mēnā rā ka tūpono atu koe ki ngā kōiwi? He aha te tikanga me whai e koe? Me waea atu ki a wai? He aha ngā mea ka taea e koe? Whakarongo mai ki tēnei wānanga.

I tīmata a Mahuru Māori i te tau 2014. He whakaaro nō Paraone ki te kōrero Māori mō te roanga o te marama o Mahuru. Ka kōrerotia ngā pānga, ngā huritao, ngā wawata hoki mō te kaupapa.

E kau ki te tai e kau ki te tai e. E kau rā te tai whanake kōrero o Wana Pana Taima e huamo nei i tēnei wiki tuarua o Mahuru Māori.

MC Grammar returns to wānanga with us about Pūtohu (complex manner particles) but up another level this time; how to modify them to use in passive structures.

The Taringa team answer more pātai from you, our audience. These pātai turn into mini wānanga about some favourite kupu whakarite, whether or not a marae should be built in Australia and government agencies using waiata iwi for waiata tautoko.

Following the recent Ngāti Raukawa recording and release of "Te Oriori o Raukawa", this episode discusses what an Oriori is, what they contain and the kaupapa within them.

In our last episode for what has been rather strange and challenging year, we talk about the shifting Tikanga around Christmas, and have a look back at some of our favourite moments from the year. Te Wānanga o Aotearoa and the entire Taringa crew would like to thank everyone for their support, and wish everyone a very safe and happy festive season.

We give examples of some errors that can happen when writing or reciting karakia, and incorrect tikanga practices around the building & opening of Whare. We then discuss the effects that these mistakes can have on the intentions of important kaupapa.

It's a real mixed bag in this ep as we answer a reo question about the use of "mo" and "kimi", offer some thoughts on tikanga around whānuangatanga in the current covid climate, and we also discuss Taniwhā gender - inspired by Story the from Ep 218.
