Taringa Podcast Te Wānanga o Aotearoa

Back in the studio, we bring you the engaging story of Putauaki and Tarawera - a fable of a meandering course of love, and the breaking points of two Maunga.

Heeni Brown brings us some interesting Tipuna stories and wonderful Iwi dialect from the far North.

Reo learners and geeks take note. We look at double vowel vs macronisation of compound words, the use of some common kupu like 'Arā', 'Otirā' and Īna/Inā, and discuss a few other common perplexities in the use of Te Reo.This episode's kīwaha is "Inē" = surprise reaction - is that right!?  

Continuing on from our Anzac special, we profile several waiata that originated from past times of conflict. We listen, unpack their meaning, evolution and application.The kīwaha from this episode is "te tū ana te puehu" (something bad is going to go down) Original sources for Waiata featuredin this content:1) Hoki Hoki Tonu Mai (Old Vsn) (comp by Paraire Tomoana): http://www.folksong.org.nz/ho-kihoki/index.html 2) Ngā Rā O Hune (comp by Te Puea Hērangi): https://www.ngataonga.org.nz/collections/catalogue/catalogue-item?record_id=234143 3) Te Hokowhitu a Tū (kia kaha rā): http://folksong.org.nz/etehokowhitu/1943hokowhitu.mp3 4) Hoki Hoki Tonu Mai (New Vsn): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_CL0-JJmcIk&fbclid=IwAR3iyByH5v95v7cZyTCXdzHAjhb_E7bylj3m1xfG3gHDq79Wo5HyG6OB8WY 5) Mōteatea - Tērā te Whetu (by Tiaki Hira): https://www.ngataonga.org.nz/collections/catalogue/catalogue-item?record_id=2376616) Tomo Mai E Tama Mā(Ngāti Porou): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PCPXcIaNTU8

This tribute kōrero is not just about our Soldiers that went to war, but also about those at home who held down the Whānau and Iwi roots and adjusted their Tikanga while watching their world change around them. Our Kīwaha o te wiki is "kei raro e putu ana" (I'm not doing too well, I've hit rock bottom)Here are the lyrics for our Waiata o te wiki: Ngā Whare PaVerse 1:Powhiritia a nga morehuTe iwi, tangihiaTe mamae e, me te pouri nuiTenei ra kua maheaChorus:Hoki mai ra!Hoki mai ra ki te kaiangaE tatari atu nei ki a koutouNga tau roa i ngaro atu ai. E arohae ngau kino nei i ahauVerse 2:Ngā whare pa tenei huakinaTe iwi kia koaKua hoki mai nga tamariki toaKi te ao ora TRANSLATION:Welcome home the survivors.All of you who have been mourningThe inward grief, and great mourningtoday is cleared away.   Welcome home!  Welcome back to the village  that has been waiting for you.  Long years you have been gone. Sorrow  has gnawed within me.  Open wide the doors of our homesEverybody rejoiceThe brave boys have returnedto the world of (normal) life.
