TE TŪ O NGĀTI HINE

Te Tū O Ngāti Hine

Ka whakatopa tāku titiro ki Hikurangi namatahi, ki Ngā Kiekie Whāwhānui a Uenuku i puta ai te kōrero ko Hikurangi, ko Mōtatau – Tū te ao, tū te pō. Ngā maunga whakahii o Hineāmaru i kii ai tona korero:

Ka papā te whatitiri, ka hikohiko te uira

Ka kahukura ki te Rangi.

Ka wāhierua ki runga o Hikurangi, o Mōtatau.

Ko Ngunguru, ko Ngangana, ko Aparangi

Ko te titi o te rua, ko te tao whakahoro

Ko te tao whakawahine, ko te tao a Hineāmaru

My gaze wanders across to Hikurangi number one, to the great kiekie plantations of Uenuku (First born of Āhuaiti and Rāhiri). Where sprung forth the aphorism - Hikurangi and Mōtatau that will stand all day, all night, forever. The sacred mountains of Hineāmaru for whom it is said - 


The thunder crashes, the lightning tears the heavens asunder,
and lights up the night sky
its fork diving over Hikurangi, over Mōtatau.

T’is Ngunguru, T’is Ngangana, T’is Aparangi (Ancestors from Hawaiiki)

T’is the spear of great speed

A spear hurled by a woman

It is the spear of Hineāmaru

KO HINEĀMARU TE TUPUNA


Ko Hineāmaru te pou hei herenga, hei pupuri hoki i te tikanga o ngā uri a Hineāmaru, mo te whenua papatupu apiti iho ko te whakakotahitanga i ngā uri a Hineāmaru
Maihi Paraone Kawiti
(Ngāti Hine Evidence, from Wai 1040 Te Paparahi o Te Raki Inquiry, 2014.)


I hīkoi mai tēnei tupuna, wana mātua, wana tuākana me wana teina mā roto i te wao nui ā Tāne, tae atu rā ki te maha i hīkoi tahi mai ki ngā mātua o tēnei tupuna ā Hineāmaru. Nā tēnā ka tae rātou ki tētahi wāhi e kī ana i te kai e kōrerotia nei ko Waiōmio, i reira ka whakatōhia wana kūmara i roto i tēnei whenua. Ka whakahuangia ko te māra o Hineāmaru. Mai i reira ka puta te pepeha, “He kūmara, he tangata”. Ko te mauri tēnei, koia te hononga ki te whenua, ki te tangata.
