Kōrero: Māori architecture – whare Māori

Te Hau-ki-Tūranga wharenui

Remote Media URL

He rerekē te whare Māori i te whare Pākehā, ā, kāore te Māori i aro ki te waihanga i te whare kia roa tonu tōna tū, engari nā te hanga kē o ngā whare i ngā rauemi o te taiao, he māmā noa te whakakapi mēnā ka popo. I hangaia hoki ngā whare i te rerekētanga haere o ngā wā mahi kai. Whai muri i te taenga mai o te Pākehā, ka waihanga te Māori i ngā wharenui kia roa ake tōna tū i te ao. Ko te tauira ko te wharenui o Te Hau-ki-Tūranga e tū nei i Te Papa Tongarewa. I hangaia te whare i te tau 1842 ki te Tai Rāwhiti. Koinei te wharenui tawhito ake i te ao. Mātaki mai ki a Rau Hoskins i te hōtaka o  Whare Māori, e kōrero nei mō te whāinga hiranga o Te Hau-ki-Tūranga.
