Zaelene Maxwell-Butler phones in to chat with us about Ngāi Tai ki Tāmaki, an Iwi based in Maraetai, Te Waitematā and Tikapa Moana. Ngāi Tai ki Tāmaki exercise mana whenua and mana moana interests across Auckland and the Hauraki Gulf. Whakarongo mai e te iwi - Tapuwae o Nuku, Tapuwae Ariki, Tapuwae o Tai.

The Taringa trio dive back into grammar land, having a wānanga about the particle "ai", this time giving examples of how it can be used with the agent-emphatic possessives "Nā, Nāu and Nāku".

In this episode we’re joined by Tūrei Peeke, who shares kōrero about Ngāti Pāoa — their connections, whakapapa, and relationships with neighbouring iwi. We touch on the landscapes and marae that shape the rohe, and the whakataukī that carries their values forward.  

He aha te Ariki? He aha oti te whare Ariki?  What is an ariki what is a whare ariki? How did our tūpuna deem a bloodline to be aristocratic house of their hapū, iwi or waka? The trio delve into some of the examples left in our histories and how it informs some of the remaining whare ariki of today. The team are surprised with special gifts from one of their listeners. They also throw lemons to juice up the kōrero.  Areare mai rā! 

Kia ora e te whānau! We’re back from all over the motu — and diving straight into the kōrero with a smorgasbord of reo treats and whakaaro. This week, we kick off with a juicy kīwaha that sparks a kōrero about where you're really from. We untangle the tongue-twister that is “diphthong”, then look at how to pronounce reo Māori diphthongs properly. Paraone shares some classic kōrero tuku iho from the kuia of his youth, amongst other discussions around ‘panoni’, ‘kawemate’ and ‘harimate’, to name a few. Whakarongo mai — it’s a hearty hākari of te reo, tikanga and kōrero o nehe!
