In 1859 a Austrian Geologist Ferdinand Von Hoschetter visited the area and recorded his observations that were even for then quite rare for non Maori to see. This Moteatea was written by Rangi Harrison in 1987 that worked for the local electricity company: Mighty River Power a government company at the time. Mighty River power owned most of the Power Station Sites at the Waikato End of the river including the one in Huntly which thanks to the NZ Government has been sold off. As part of his job Rangi had to visit every site and maintain the different catchments throughout the river, there were things he saw that were spiritual and magnificent which is what lead him to right this waiata. It was never done just for kapa haka. Moteatea is a specific way of remembering specific events, genealogies and geographical landmarks. This Moteatea is all of those things, you have land marks, tupuna and stories that most local know of. This is also one of our tribal anthems.
Could I ask please where you learnt this korero, naa te mea he uri teenei noo Pare Waikato and I am am looking for informayion that I can use to explain the back ground of this mooteatea. I ask because this mooteatea was printed in Te Ao Hou 1963, contradicting what you have said, being written in 1987. Or is this an updated version of the original. Naaku noa
You're right kare, its "Au Kaha o Waikato" wheeraa ano ki ngaa "au pikinga me nga au hekenga o ngaa wai o Waikato"....ehara ko te Hau o Waikato! Hahaha your kupu read "Ingarangi" but you say "Ihingarangi" lol. It takes great courage and commitment to sharing this waiata with the whole world! Well done kare....mahia o mahi hei painga mo te iwi!
This is the shortened version. I think there are around 15 verses? Can not remember. Has been many years since I first learnt this moteatea and don't remember all the verses. The ones in this video are more commonly recited.
She's telling you were she's from her maunga Taupiri ( mountain ) her waka ( boat her ancesters come off ) her marea telling you she's tainui and her tupuna her ancestor so she's telling you were She from.
Ae rawe hoki, arohamai engari tika ana te "Au kaha o Waikato" ehara ko te hau, e korero ana mo te kaha o te rerenga o te wai o te awa raa. Au (current) te maha hoki o nga hee, engari, e pai ana tera. Mean
+Linda Flair Are you familiar with the Geography of the Waikato? I can render a translation for you, but it would be meaningless without a knowledge of the area.
This link is a translation of this moteatea. It is a journey of our River describing landmarks, and areas from the mouth of the river to lake Taupo. th-cam.com/video/GfUAaQGz8XA/w-d-xo.html
@79uhakaoT Yeah I understood what you meant but it wasn't very nice is all. Perhaps it was just someone who didn't like the way it was sung or someone who learned it differently. Or perhaps it was just someone who despises Tainui lol. I'm just saying you can't just make such a bold racist comment like that, we should be trying to make our country a better place :) Freedom is win.
I can't explain the shivers/vibrations I'm getting listening to this
I can ,
None
