learning Maori

Why you should learn Maori

I think the understanding of your own cultural identity is very important. This may be especially important for people who are Māori then te reo Māori would be your second language. When you learn Maori you increase a sense of belonging and pride as you come to value with New Zealand's indigenous language and unique cultural heritage.The ability to speak te reo is an advantage to have because there is very few people that can speak the language.

Haka

Different Types of Haka

• The peruperu, performed on the battlefield with weapons, has been described as the fiercest haka. 
• Haka taparahi – a ceremonial dance  without weapons
• Tūtūngārahu  known as ngārahu or whakarewarewa is a divinatory dance performed by a war party with weapons, before elders and experienced warriors who judged from their performance whether they were ready to go into battle
• Ngeri – an exhortation to  a group to achieve its objective, there is no  weapons
• Peruperu – the war dance, performed with weapons when the warriors come up face to face with the enemy
• Puha – a kind of peruperu, which can be used to alarm and call kinsmen to arms, not on the actual battlefield but in their pa and homes. Also the  peruperu is used only in battle.

Tangi

A tangi is for  an occasion for the community to gather and show an outward expression of grief for a person who has died. This is formal ritual dominates a tangi from the time of death until the body is interred and vary from tribe to tribe but all dead are paid the same reverence.When a person dies Maori believe his wairua or soul remains until they are laid to rest. The Immediate  family members are known as kirimate and also can include their siblings families.

kumara, and other foods like pataka as well as pits for water or sometimes special access to a spring. A wooden gong found on the highest point was used to warn of an approaching enemy.

It was important have access to food, water, and waka transport because if there was a emergency you will need quick access to get away and then survive with what you have.It was important to have a natural slope in terrain for example on a side of a volcanoes.It’s also very important to have good shelter.

Maori preserved large quantities of food by drying it, fermenting it, or sealing it in fat. The food was stored in storehouses or kūmara underground pits Maori used to dig out massive pits to store kumara to preserve it for long periods of time.Fat birds such as titi were preserved in their own fat. After cooking, the hot fat was set aside. The meat was packed into hue and the fat poured around it. Southern tribes inflated poha to make storage containers for titi.
