Learning from our tuakana
Ngai Takoto Whakatauki - He iti marangai, tu ana te pahukahuka, He iti pioke no Rangaunu he au tona…
Small although the pioke may be, great is its wake, as it traverses the might of the Rangaunu harbour.
To help us learn the whakatauki (saying) of our local Ngai Takoto iwi, we asked our expert tuakana (older students) to teach us the words and actions.
Nga mihi Te Manga! You were wonderful teachers and now we know our whakatauki off by heart!!
