#Te Aroha

Te Aroha wāhine perform their haka Te Aroha as it pours down with rain at the Open Women’s Club Championships. Composed by Wiremu Moeahu (Te Āti Awa, Ngāti Awa), the haka reflects their whakapapa, their home, and the landmarks that surround their hinaki. “Whakapapa is the lifeforce of our club, so it is important that we hold close our maunga, our awa, and our marae. When representing Te Aroha, you represent Waiwhetū. You are Pukeatua maunga, you are Waiwhetū awa, you are Arohanui ki te tangata.” 🖤🤍❤️ #haka #māori #nz #aotearoa #softball

#HePūrongo Te Arawa girls’ have won the right to represent the region at the National Mānu Kōrero Competition in Whanganui in September.

I did kapa haka in high school and whenever I didn’t know the words I would just pukana or mime the word “watermelon” - that’s probably why I never made front row lmao I’m on my reclamation journey and it’s a big reason as to why I moved back home 3 years ago. My reo isn’t quite at the level I expected it to be by now, as I took a little detour ki te Whanganui-a-Tara. At this stage I’m hoping that moving down there wasn’t a complete waste of my time 🫠 Heoi anō, My angels always pull me back in alignment when I start to stray and I’m so grateful for my tūpuna 🤎 So I went to kōhanga reo and took Māori all throughout high school, but I just haven’t managed to retain any of my learnings. I’m currently doing Te Rōnakitanga (Level 5) at Te Wānanga o Aotearoa 😬 I often hold a lot of shame, especially in Māori spaces, when we go around the room introducing ourselves because I just can’t seem to memorise my bloody Pepeha and I have very limited reo. So when I see these cool as pākeha people speaking the language of my tūpuna so effortlessly I feel both proud of them but also ashamed of myself … especially when I’m like “Ko Te Reo Powhiri tōku ingoa” and everyone’s like “ooooush whata cool name oi!” yet I can barely ask them where the toilet is 🥴 … it’s just a lilllllll bit emBARRASSing yano!? But I’m here for the journey and I will keep putting myself in these spaces until my reo flows off my tongue. Tūwhitia te hopo, mairangitia te angitū - feel the fear and do it anyway 🫡🤎 - Te Reo Powhiri Tovika Matautia
