He korero whakarapopoto
Te manaakitanga
Nō mua i te taenga mai o te Pākehā ngā tikanga Māori o te pōwhiri i te manuhiri. Ka karanga te wahine kia mātau te iwi ko wai te manuhiri, ā, he aha te kaupapa o te haramai. Ka whai i muri ko te wero, (mehemea he manuhiri tūārangi). Kia mātau rā anō te iwi kāinga he ope haumārie, ka takina ki roto i te pā, ka whāngaia.
Kei roto i te kawa o te pōwhiri ko te karanga, te wero, te tangi ki ngā mate, te whaikōrero me te hongi. I muri mai ka karangatia te manuhiri kia kai. Ka tuku koha anō te manuhiri ki te tangata whenua – i ngā rā o mua he kai, he taonga ngā koha, engari i ēnei rā he moni.
Te whanaungatanga, ngā whanau me te marae
He mea nui ki te Māori te tūhonohono i a ia, ā, nā whai anō ko te tūāpapa ēnei o ētahi o ngā tikanga. Ka tīmata mai ngā whaikōrero a ētahi i runga i te whakapapa hei tūhono i te manuhiri ki te tangata whenua. Ka mutu ka hokihoki tonu te nuinga o ngā Māori e noho ana ki ngā taone ki te wā kāinga ki te tīkapekape anō i te ahi kā.
Ko ngā hapū tonu te tangata whenua ki ngā marae maha. Ko rātou te kaipupuri i te mauri o te marae, tae atu ki ngā mahi katoa e pā ana ki te marae. He rangatira tonu ngā kaumātua me ngā kuia i waenganui i te iwi.
Ngā tangihanga me te whakawhānau tamariki
Ki tā te Māori, ka mate ana te tangata kua rere tōna wairua ki te rerenga wairua, kei te pito o Aotearoa. Kia tae ki tōna tangihanga ka tangihia, ka mihia ia e te manuhiri, ā, ka tāwharautia te whānau pani e te whānau me te hapori. He rite te wā ka tīraha te tūpapaku ki runga ki tōna marae ake, hei reira rūpeke ai te tangata ki runga ki a ia mō te toru rangi, neke atu rānei. He wāhi tapu ngā urupā ki te Māori.
Ka whānau ana te tamaiti kua nehua tōna ewe ki te whenua o tētahi o ngā mātua. I ēnei rā kua whai ētahi Pākehā i tēnei tikanga.
Ngā tikanga Māori i ēnei rā
Kua urutau ētahi tikanga mō ngā mahi hou o te ao hurihuri nei. E kitea ana tēnei āhua i ngā marae kei tāwāhi, kei ngā taone rānei, me ngā marae ā-iwi. Kei ngā wāhi katoa o tauiwi te ao Māori e kitea ana. Ko tētahi tauira ko te tānga o te kawa ā-whare i te whakaaturanga toi o Te Māori i tū ki Te Āporo Nui i te tau 1984.
