Kōrero: Te Āti Awa of Wellington

Pipitea, 1980

The new Pipitea marae, 1980

I te tau 1980, ka takina ngā karakia o te ata hāpara ki te whakatuwhera i te marae hōu o Pipitea. He mea whakatūria ia ki raro iho i te wāhi i reira te pā tawhito o Pipitea. I whakataungia a Pipitea hōu hei whare mō te iwi Māori e nui haere ana ki Te Whanganui-a-Tara. Ko te kawa o te marae nō Te Āti Awa, heoi ka pōwhiritia ngā iwi katoa e noho ana ki Te Whanganui-a-Tara.

Tena koutou, tena tatou. In supporting the comments made by Dr Arini Loader, the marae kawa was set down in the dawn ceremony by Te Ati Awa and Ngati Ruanui elder, high priest, Ruka Broughton. The kawa set down was Paeke. Paeke acknowledged the primary occupiers Ngati Poneke and the unique whakapapa, identity and history of the marae of sheltering those migrants who came from the four winds during the rural urban drift.The treaty settlement process has seen the Port Nicholson Settlement Block Trust and Ngati Poneke Maori Association come together to form the Pipitea Marae Charitable Trust to jointly manage Pipitea marae as required by the Deed of Settlement. The Ngati Poneke Young Maori Club continues to gather every Monday night at 6.00pm to carry on an unbroken tradition reaching back as far as 1937.

Tena koe. Currently, Ngati Poneke kawa is observed on Pipitea marae when Ngati Poneke are in residence. Te Ati Awa kawa is observed when Te Ati Awa are in residence. Other kawa are also observed on this marae. Also, it is important to note that Pipitea marae was fundraised for and built by the Ngati Poneke Young Maori Club and the Ngati Poneke Maori Association as a new permanent home for Ngati Poneke's associated clubs and affiliate groups. It is very disappointing that there is no mention of Ngati Poneke in this entry. Heoi ano, Arini Loader.
