Taringa Podcast

Paraone & Erica continue their kōrero with Te Makau Shane Te Ruki as he takes us on a fascinating journey exploring the whakapapa, history and forgotten practices of the Nomadic iwi of the central Waikato region; Ngāti Unu. Our kōrero with Shane offers a glimpse into the rich cultural and environmental heritage of the now non-existent bogs of Kakepuku and the tuna heke, as well as numerous places with names that are now unknown to many.

Hamuera Maika joins the Taringa crew to discuss his region and share some interesting stories. Whakaronga mai!

In this week's "Iwi O Te Wiki" episode, Dr Wayne Ngata shares kōrero about Te Aitanga a Hauiti

In honour of our national day of commemoration of the NZ Land Wars, this installment of Once Upon a Taima is a brief version of the battle of Ō-Rākau in 1864. This version is based on the account of Hitiri Te Paerata, a Chief of Ngāti Raukawa & Ngāti te Kohera, who fought in the battle himself - losing many of his whānau, including his Father and Brother.

I tīmata a Mahuru Māori i te tau 2014. He whakaaro nō Paraone ki te kōrero Māori mō te roanga o te marama o Mahuru. Ka kōrerotia ngā pānga, ngā huritao, ngā wawata hoki mō te kaupapa.

Ka hono mai anō tō tātou ake kaiako a MC Grammar ki te whakataka i ētahi anō kura o ngā kupu pūmuri. Hei tēnei wiki ka matapakihia ngā kupu 'anō' me 'rānei' me ana āheinga katoa. Our very own tutor MC Grammar joins us again to drop some more gems on postposed particles. This week we discuss the words "anō" and 'rānei' and a few of their functions.

Ka tau mai a Dr Enoka Murphy ki te pae kōrero i tēnei puni o Iwi o te Wiki ki te whakahuahua i ngā kōrero motuhake mō Ngāti Manawa.

Koia tēnei ko te wahanga whakamutunga o tēnei punua raupapatanga whakahirahira ki tō tātou Pāpā a Tā Pou Temara. Kia hono tonu mai ki te ihi, te wehi me te mana o tana kōrero.

Hoki mai ano ki te wahanga tuarua o tēnei punua raupapatanga ko Te Ao o te Touhunga. Ka noho mai a Tā Pou ki tō tātou whare o Ipurau ki te kōrero tonu mai mō tana whakatupuranga me ana wheako i mātau ai ia ki ngā mahi a te tohunga.

Paraone, Snow and Erica discuss Tikanga mō te kai in various contexts.

What's in a name? The Taringa trio look at the thoughts and considerations that are or should be taken when naming such things as whare (marae and contemporary buildings), taonga (heirlooms, objects) and kaupapa (initiatives, companies). Keep an ear out also for our kīwaha that denotes a period since something has happened.

For Anzac this year, we read some old letters from our Māori soldiers, and reflect on the hardship and sacrifices they endured. We also spotlight some of the specifics of the language and grammar used at the time.
