Rauemi

I te whakapūhoitanga o Māui i te rā, ka riro mai ngā painga ki a tāua te tangata arā kia pai ake te āhua o te noho, kia tōnui ake te mahi, ā, kia noho ngākau pai. Pēnā i a Māui, kei a koe hoki te tikanga ina ka eke ki ngā taumata i a koe e ora ana, kia toitū, kia haumako tō whānau. Ko tētahi o ngā hua nui o tā Māui whakapūhoi i te haere o te Rā, ko tana āhei ki te āta whakarite. I mōhio a ia, kia tutuki tēnei mahi nui me whakarite:

• i ana rautaki - ka mārehe tana wānanga i ia wāhanga o te rautaki
• i te momo mātauranga, pūkenga, hangarau hoki hei whakatutuki i ia mahi, pēnā i ngā momo taura hei hopu i te rā, ngā momo karakia e ū ai ōna whakaarorangi, ōna hiahia, tae atu ki te whai wāhi o ōna tuākana ki ēnei mātauranga e haumaru ai rātou katoa.

E hanga rite ana ēnei pūmanawa o Māui ki te whakamahere i tō ao ahumoni mō āpōpō. Kōkiri kau ana tō mahere, ka tōmua ake te takahi i te ara kia noho herekore te ao ahumoni. 

He tino auaha a Māui. Nōna e taki karakia ana ka whakamahi rauemi, pēnei i te harakeke ki te whiri taura hei hopu i te rā, hei whakapūhoi i tana haere. Ki te auaha, ki te hīraurau hōpanga, ki te auaha te whakamahi i ngā momo rauemi pēnei i a Māui, he tūpono ka hua mai ētahi kōwhiringa māu.

Arā te whakataukī ‘E kore au e ngaro, he kākano i ruia mai i Rangiātea’. Ko te whakaaro nui ka tipu te kākano, ka whanake, ka rahi ake, ā, ka tohu hoki tēnei i te tōnui me te angitu.

I te roanga o te oranga o te tangata me whakaaro nui ki te āhua o te noho ora i te ao. Āta whakaarohia ngā kōwhiringa whai pūtea kātahi ka whai hua tō
whakatinana.

Ka pēhea ō mōhiotanga ki te āheitanga ahumoni e whai awenga ai ki tō tuakiri, ki tō papa kāinga, me tō tūnga i te ao?

He nanakia a Māui. Heoi anō, i mōhio nō hea ia me tōna tūnga i te ao. Nā tēnei i whakakaha tōna māia, te pūtake mō te nuinga o ana whakatau. Ko te mutunga iho, i taea ngā mahi nunui te whakaoti pērā i te whakapōturi i te rā. Pēnei i a Māui, ki te pai ake tō mōhiotanga ki tōu ake tirohanga rangatahi Māori ahurei, ka āwhinatia koe i ō whakataunga, ngā whakataunga taha ahumoni anō hoki.

Pēnei i te tokomaha o ngā rangitahi Māori, kāore pea koe i te mahi moni i tēnei wā. Heoi anō, kāore e kore kua kite koe i ō mātua e hoko mai ana i ō hū kura, te hoko kai mā te whānau, te utu nama rānei. Tērā pea kua kitea anō hoki te mahere pōtea rua wiki a ō mātua, ko te tikanga ko ngā hiahia o te whānau te papa whakarite, ā, e pā ana ki te moni i ngā wā katoa, nā te mea koia te mea kotahi ka whai wāhi ki tēnei momo mahere pūtea.
