Ko Maungatautari, ko Maungahaumi ngā maunga.
Ko Waikato, ko Waipaoa ngā awa.
Ko Maungatautari, ko Pōhara, ko Takitimu ngā marae.
Ko Waikato, ko Aitanga a Mahaki, ko Rongowhakaata ngā iwi.
Ko Ngāti Koroki Kahukura, ko Ngā Pōtiki ngā hapū.
Ko Karaitiana ahau.
Mai i aku pakeketanga i whakaaro mai he aha te take ruarua noa iho ngā ākonga Māori i eke taumata ki te ao o te Mātauranga engari ia ki te taumata Pae 7 (Tau13) ki ngā kura tuarua.
I takoto te manuka i taua wā kia panonihia tēnei āhuatanga kia tokomaha ake ā Ngāi Māori kia eke ki tōna taumata ake, Kura Tuarua mai, Whare Wānanga mai, ā hapū, ā Iwi mai hoki.
I tīmatahia taku whīkoitanga hei kaiako i taua wā i te Kura Tuarua ā i whiwhi taku Tohu Paetahi, Tohu Kaiako ā i tīmata taku mahi hei kaiako ki ngā rohe o Te Wairarapa, Tauranga Moana me Waikato mai i te tau 1983 - 2022.
Ka mihi nui ki aku ākonga, aku whānau, aku hoa mahi i tukuna mai ēnei o ngā akoranga, whēako taioreore kia tae ki tēnei wāhanga o taku akoranga. He mihi mutunga kore ki tōku hoa wahine āku tamariki mokopuna ki aku whānau whānui, aku hapū, ake iwi.
Ahakoa te aha he huarahi Māori ake, he rautaki Māori ake kia eke panuku ā tātou tamariki mokopuna. I te wā ka hoki ki ngā rohe i tae ahau hei kaiako kua kitea ko ngā Raukura o ā mātou hōtaka reo rua / rumaki, ko rātou ngā kaiako o ngā hōtaka rumaki inaianei.
Ka tirohia ngā Raukura o ā mātou hōtaka rumaki o tēnei Whare Wānanga āe kua tokomaha ake kei ngā hōtaka rumaki.
Heoi anō ka taea te kī atu kua kōkirihia te manuka i takotohia i ngā rā o inamata? Ko te whakautu akuanei pea no te mea he tokomaha ake nga taiohi / pakeke Māori e eke taumata ana ki nga hōtaka rumaki, Kōhanga mai, Kura Kaupapa mai, Wharekura mai, Whare wānanga / Wānanga mai hei Māori. Kua kitea hoki kua māhora hoki te minamina, o ngā Tāngata Tiriti ki te ako, ki te whai i te reo me ōna tikanga. Āe kua pai haere, te kokiritanga o te manuka.
Hei whakakapi ka aro ki ngā kupu tuku iho o Tā Hēmi Henare (1989) "Kua tawhiti kē to haerenga mai kia kore e haere tonu. He tino nui rawa ō mahi, kia kore e mahi tonu." (You have come too far not to go further, you have done too much not to do more)
No reira ka haere tonu ngā mahi "...hei painga mō te iwi." Te Puea Hērangi (1884 - 1952)
