Taringa Podcast

The Taringa crew talk about some of the tikanga of our tūpuna regarding ariki in light of the recent coronation ceremony of King Charles III.

Te reo whakawhāiti. When learning te reo Māori it's easy to get stuck in the black and white of syntax, grammar structures and so forth. However, there are also alot of grey areas which can't be measured by a flow chart. This grey part is tikanga and can only be learned or understood by experience. Whakakāngia tā tātou tīkera, ā, kia whakaoko mai ki tā tātou wānanga mō te rā.

Snowy and Kahu take some time to reflect on the way that they've acknowledged ANZAC day in the past. The pair also indulge in a short grammar wananga about the use and variations of "wareware".

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

MC Grammar is back again, revisiting kupu used in reference to Whakapapa, plus a few digressions and embellishments. Heoi anō, whakarongo mai!

In this episode, the esteemed Waldo Houia shares his upbringing in Te Reo, the reo of Ngāti Porou, and other whakaaro pertaining to his iwi; Ngāti Uepōhatu

MC Grammar brings the fire with his grammatical insights into the wonderous and layered language that is te reo Māori. We recap on appositions, take a look at some known words for kaumātua and talk about the way our language has evolved to reflect the way we see ourselves. Kia mau!

As the dust settles and te ao Māori reflects on what was one of the most memorable Matatini, the Taringa trio also reflect and look at some tikanga pertaining to te ao haka. We also wānanga about the future of haka, what competitive haka could like and how we may get there.

Ngā kupu o te haka. Paraone and Te Puaheiri look through He Tohu Whenua Rangatira - A judges compendium of terms used to describe aspects of haka, discussing a selection of kupu from it's glossary. Not only are these kupu for haka but also for our daily use. A challenge is issued to all kapa and non-participating to use these kupu kei ngaro.

He aha te reo o te kaiwhakawā o te kaiwhiriwhiri rānei? What is the language of the judge? What are some of the remarks they make when marking certain items of the kapahaka bracket?

Kahurangi also explains the techinicality of the poi.

As we build up to Te Matatini 2023 we invite one of the giants of te ao kapa haka; Trevor Maxwell to join us. We hear untold stories of what happened in 1983 and how "2 weeks in Manutuke" propelled many kapa into existence. We also hear about the risks Trevor and his kapa took to push the boundaries of kapahaka.

In this episode, JJ Carberry joins us for a wānanga about the provisions of Te Tiriti o Waitangi and we kōrero about what we can do as a part of the resistance.

The Taringa crew kick-off 2023 with MC Grammar, gently easing everyone into the nuance of appositions i roto i te reo Māori.
