I rongo au i ētahi ingoa atua, ingoa tupuna, pērā i a Rangi, i a Ngātoroirangi.

Anei he whakamārama hei tuku māu ki ō ākonga:

He waiata aroha a Ka Eke ki Wairaka. I tuhia e tētahi wahine ko Puhiwahine te ingoa, i ngā tau tuatahi o ngā 1840. I tae a Puhiwahine ki Whatiwhati, ā, i reira ka tūtaki ia ki a Mahutu Te Toko. Hei karanga tungāne te tangata nei ki a ia. Ka riro te ngākau o Puhiwahine i a Te Toko. E ai ki te kōrero, he tangata purotu, he rōreka ki te waiata, he pūkōrero anō. Kua piri kē te tokorua nei ki a rāua anō mō ētahi rangi, kātahi anō ka mōhio te whānau o Puhiwahine. Kāore rātou i pai kia moe rāua. Kahakina atu ana a Puhiwahine, whakahokia atu ana ki te takiwā o Taupō. Me te aha, ngau kino ana te aroha, te pōuri i roto i a Puhiwahine. Koia tēnei, ko te take i titoa ai e ia tāna waiata aroha.

Ka Eke ki Wairaka is a waiata aroha. It was composed by a woman called Puhiwahine in the early 1840s. Puhiwahine had been visiting Whatiwhati, where she had met and fallen in love with a distant cousin, Mahutu Te Toko. He was a handsome man, as well as a great singer and orator. Puhiwahine and Te Toko spent quite a few days together before her family realized what was going on. They did not agree to this union and whisked Puhiwahine back to the Taupō region. Puhiwahine was distraught and expressed her grief in this waiata aroha.

• Play Ka Eke ki Wairaka again, but this time play just the first two stanzas and play the images as well. Ask the students to carefully listen and look at the pictures.

Reinforce the learning

 What you need

• Copies of RAUPAPATIA NGĀ KUPU-A1.PDF
• Copies of RAUPAPATIA NGĀ RĀRANGI-A1.PDF

RAUPAPATIA NGĀ KUPU-A1
RAUPAPATIA NGĀ RĀRANGI-A1

What you do

• Using the key word lists get the students to write the words onto cards, shuffle them and then try and order them – firstly, into the correct stanza, then in the order that they occur in the text. (Or you could use RAUAPAPATIA NGĀ KUPU-A1.PDF.)
• Using RAUPAPATIA NGĀ RĀRANGI-A1.PDF, cut the waiata into lines of texts that the students then sequence. Give each group a different set of lines. Groups present their lines back to the whole class. 

• Tukua anō a Ka Eke ki Wairaka kia rere. Tonoa ngā ākonga kia arotahi ki ngā whakaahua. Matapakia te whakanoho a te ringatoi i ētahi whakaahua ki runga ake i ētahi, me tana whakamahi i ngā huakiwa me ngā whārangi pūataata hei taki i te kōrero.
• Mō tēnei mahi, ka kōwhiria e te ākonga he kupu, he rārangi rānei mai i te waiata, koia hei hiringa whakaaro mō tētahi whakaahua huakiwa.

Ngā mea e hiahiatia ana

• He kāri pango
• He kāmera, he pūreretā
• He māripi haratau
• He kāpia

Ngā mahi

• Ka kōwhiri te ākonga i tētahi kupu, rārangi rānei o roto mai i te waiata.
• Ka mahi takirua ngā ākonga ki te ohia manomano i ngā whakaahua ka toko ake i a rāua e whiriwhiri ana i ā rāua kupu/rārangi.

Hei tauira:  TONGARIRO – puia, hukarere, maunga, Ketetahi, Pihanga, Ngātoroirangi, Tūwharetoa.

• Ka whakaahua (ā-kāmera) ngā ākonga i a rātou anō e whakaata ana, e whakaari ana i ā rātou kupu/rerenga. Kia āta whai whakaaro ngā ākonga ki ēnei āhuatanga:
  – ngā āhua e taea ana e rātou te whakaata ki ō rātou tinana tonu
  – te wāhi ‘tōraro’ – te wāhi ka tapahia atu
  – te aronga – ko mua, ko muri rānei
  – kia pēhea te tawhiti o te whakaahuatanga – me tūtata, me tūwaenga rānei, me whakaahua whānui rānei
  – he aha kei te tuarongo.
• Ko te māripi haratau hei āta tapahi mai i ngā wāhanga o te whakaahua ka noho koirā te wāhanga huakiwa.
• Ka whakapiria atu te whakaahua ki te kāri pango. Mehemea i āta tapahia mai te wāhanga ‘tōraro’, tērā ka taea taua/aua wāhanga te whakapiri atu ki tētahi atu kāri, ki tētahi atu tuarongo rānei.

Te whakaatu me te mātakitaki

• Ka whakaaturia e te ākonga āna mahi toi ki tētahi rōpū iti, ki te akomanga rānei.

Ka whakapuaki hoki te ringatoi i ōna ake whakaaro ki tāna mahi toi.

Kupu tāpiri

Ka taea te whakamahi whārangi mai i ngā moheni, hei aha ngā whakaahua ā-kamera.

• Play Ka Eke ki Wairaka This time ask students to focus on the visual imagery. Discuss how the artist has layered different images and used silhouettes and transparencies to tell the story.
• For this activity, students choose a word, or a line, from the waiata as inspiration for a silhouette picture. (See examples.)

What you need

• Black card
• Camera and printer
• Craft knives
• Glue

What you do

• Students each choose a word or line from the waiata.
• Students work in pairs and brainstorm images that their words or lines conjure e.g. TONGARIRO – puia, hukarere, maunga, Ketetahi, Pihanga, Ngātoroirangi, Tūwharetoa.
• Students take photos of each other to represent their chosen word or line. Get students to think about:

1. the shapes they make with their bodies

2. the negative area – the area that will be cut out

3. profiles, front on or from behind

4. close ups, mid-shots or wide-shots

5. the background area.

• Students use craft knives to carefully cut out the part of the photograph that will become the silhouette.
• Glue the photograph onto black card. If they have been careful they may be able to use the cut out on another piece of card, or background.

Presenting and viewing

• Students present their artworks to small group or class.
• Students respond to artwork – ask questions; say what they think it represents; say what they like about it; say how it made them feel.
• Artist shares their own ideas about their art piece.

NB – You could do this activity using images from magazines instead of photographs.

Ngā Mahi

Ngā kaitito o mua

Arā atu ngā wāhine toa ki te tito mōteatea. I roto i ōna kohikohinga waiata o Ngā Mōteatea ka kī ake a Tā Apirana Ngata ko te nuinga o ngā kaitito he wāhine. Ko tāna meatanga tērā ki ngā tauira reo Māori kia ruku rātou ki ngā waiata nei kātahi ka kitea te wairua ake o te mana wahine.

Kei ngā waiata hoki ngā kōrero ā-iwi, ngā kōrero tuku iho, ngā tohu whenua, ngā kōrero tōrangapū ā-iwi. He tohu tēnei ki te tohunga o te wahine Māori ki te whakaheke kōrero. Ko tētahi kaitito rongonui o te rautau 1800 ko Puhiwāhine o Ngāti Tūwharetoa me Ngāti Maniapoto. E ai ki a Pei Te Hurinui ka rongo i ōna waiata he wahine mātau ia ki ngā kōrero, ngā whakapapa me ngā tohu whenua o tōna iwi; i āta whai whakaaro ia ki ngā tāpaetanga whenua o tōna iwi, me tana whakaōhiti ki tōna iwi kia tūpato ki ngā āhua o te Kāwana me te whakawai o te reti.[1]

• He mahi rangahau tēnei. Ka rangahaua e te ākonga a Puhiwahine, tētahi wahine Māori rānei o tōna iwi (te iwi kāinga rānei o te rohe e noho nei ia) he kaitito waiata, ā, e ora ana ia i te kotahi rau tau, nui ake ki muri.
• Mā te akomanga nui tonu e rangahau ko wai mā ngā kaitito ka uru ki tēnei karangatanga. Mai i tēnei rōpū kaitito wahine Māori, ka kōwhiria e ia ākonga tētahi e whakapapa atu ana, e āta whai hononga atu ana ia.
• Ka hanga kōnae rangahau te ākonga. Ka kohia ngā kōrero, ngā whakaahua, tae atu ki ngā kōnae oro, ataata, kiriata, e whakaaro ana ia kei te hāngai, kei te whai kiko. Me tuhi anō e ia kia rima, neke atu rānei ngā pātai hei arotahinga mō tana rangahau. Anei ngā momo pātai pai:
  I hea ia e noho ana? I mate mai ia ki hea?
  Ko wai ōna iwi, ōna hapū?
  He pēhea tōna āhua ki te titiro atu?
  He pēhea te āhua o tana noho ki te ao?
  He aha te/ngā waiata i titoa rā e ia?
  He aha ngā momo whakaaro/kaupapa i kōrerotia e ia i roto i tāna/āna mōteatea? He aha te take koinā tana/ana kaupapa kōrero?

Anei ētahi puna āwhina:

• Te pae tukutuku o Te Ara
• Ngā Mōteatea
• Ngā Tāngata Taumata Rau
• Ka tīpakona e te ākonga tētahi o ngā mōteatea i titoa e te wahine kua kōwhiria rā e ia. Ka kimihia ngā kupu o te waiata, me tētahi hopukanga oro o te waiata (māna tonu rānei te waiata e hopu i te wā e waiatatia ana e ētahi).
• Nā runga i ngā kōrero rangahau kua whakaemitia, ka tū ake ia ākonga ki te kōrero ki te akomanga mō tana kaitito – kia kaua e roa ake i te rua meneti ki tēnā, ki tēnā o ngā whakaaturanga nei. Ehara i te mea me tuhi kauhau rawa – he whakawhiti pārongo noa tēnei mō te wahine tito mōteatea kua kōwhiria.
• Me whakahaere pea e te pouako tētahi patapatainga i muri i ngā whakaaturanga e 4, he tuku pātai, he whakautu pātai anō te mahi a ngā ākonga e pā ana ki aua kaitito kātahi tonu ka kōrerotia. Kia haere anō ētahi whakaaturanga e whā, ka tū anō ko te patapatainga mō aua kaitito. 

He Pakipūmeka

Mātakihia tēnei whakaaturanga o Iwi Anthems – he pakipūmeka i puta i a Whakaata Māori. E kōrero ana a Chris Winitana mō ētahi “anthem” o Ngāti Tūwharetoa, ā, ko Ka Eke ki Wairaka tētahi. E pai ana te mātaki i te katoa o te pakipūmeka (26 meneti), ko te wāhanga noa iho rānei ki a Ka Eke ki Wairaka (12:50 meneti).
http://www.maoritelevision.com/tv/shows/iwi-anthems/S01E024/iwi-anthems-series-1-episode-24

• Nā runga i ngā rangahautanga me ngā kōrero, ngā ataata, ngā oro kua kohia e ia, ka tahuri te ākonga ki te waihanga i tāna ake pakipūmeka mō te kaitito i kōwhiria e ia.
• Ka whakamahia te iMovie, tētahi atu pūmanawa whakatika/whakarākai kiriata rānei, te PowerPoint rānei hei hanga whakaaturanga oro-ataata.
• Kia 2–3 meneti te roa o te pakipūmeka. Ā, ko te tikanga, ka whakautua ngā pātai rangahau i whakatakotoria i te tīmatanga o te mahi nei. Me noho mai anō ēnei mea ki te kiriata:
  He taitara me ngā whakamihi e tika ana
  He kōrero e taki haere ana i te pakipūmeka
  Tētahi hopukanga o te waiata (ētahi wāhanga rānei o te waiata), he whakaahua (whakaahua tū, whakahua nekeneke rānei)
  Ngā kupu o te waiata.
• Me tuhi papapaki ngā ākonga hei arataki i te mahinga mai o ā rātou kiriata. He pai te papapaki hei tātai i ngā pārongo me ngā whakaahua – he momo mahere hei ārahi i te kohinga o ngā kōrero me ngā mahi whakatikatika, whakapaipai. Ki te kore ō ākonga e tino mōhio ki te whakamahi papapaki, māu e whakatauira atu.

Me whakamahara atu, ko te tuhi tere i te pikitia me te kupu hei āwhina i a rātou ki te whakaraupapa, ki te tātai haere i ngā whakaaro matua o tēnā tapawhā, o tēnā tapawhā o te papapaki.

• Ka noho takirua ngā ākonga. Ka whakaatu tēnā me tēnā i tāna papapaki ki tana hoa. Me whakaputa whakaaro te ākonga ki tana hoa mō tana papapaki. Hei tauira, me mea atu āe, e pai ana tana whai haere i te tāhuhu o ngā kōrero; āe i mārama te hora o ngā whakaaro matua, i pēhea kē rānei.
• Ka whāia e te ākonga tāna papapaki, hei ārahi i te whakaeminga me ngā mahi whakatikatika, whakarākai i te whakaaturanga.

What You Do

Ngā kaitito o mua

Arā atu ngā wāhine toa ki te tito mōteatea. I roto i ōna kohikohinga waiata o Ngā Mōteatea ka kī ake a Tā Apirana Ngata ko te nuinga o ngā kaitito he wāhine. Ko tāna meatanga tērā ki ngā tauira reo Māori kia ruku rātou ki ngā waiata nei kātahi ka kitea te wairua ake o te mana wahine.

Kei ngā waiata hoki ngā kōrero ā-iwi, ngā kōrero tuku iho, ngā tohu whenua, ngā kōrero tōrangapū ā-iwi. He tohu tēnei ki te tohunga o te wahine Māori ki te whakaheke kōrero. Ko tētahi kaitito rongonui o te rautau 1800 ko Puhiwāhine o Ngāti Tūwharetoa me Ngāti Maniapoto. E ai ki a Pei Te Hurinui ka rongo i ōna waiata he wahine mātau ia ki ngā kōrero, ngā whakapapa me ngā tohu whenua o tōna iwi; i āta whai whakaaro ia ki ngā tāpaetanga whenua o tōna iwi, me tana whakaōhiti ki tōna iwi kia tūpato ki ngā āhua o te Kāwana me te whakawai o te reti.[1]

• This is a research project. Students are to research either Puhiwahine or another female composer from their own tribe (or from a local tribe) who lived over a hundred years ago.
• As a class research which female composers from the iwi fit the criteria. Students choose a composer they are mostly closely connected to.
• Students create a research file. Collate text, images and any sound and film files that you think are interesting. Students to create a list of at least five questions to focus their research, e.g:

1. Where did she live? (And die?)
2. What were her tribal connections?
3. What did she look like?
4. What was life like for her?
5. What waiata did she compose?
6. What sort of things did she write about and why?

Helpful sources are:

• Te Ara website
• Ngā Mōteatea
• Ngā Tāngata Taumata Rau
• Students choose a waiata by their composer. Source a copy of the words and a recording of the waiata (or record it being performed).
• From the research notes they have compiled students are to give a short oral presentation about their composer – no longer than 2 minutes. They don’t need to write a speech – just share facts about their composer.
• You could facilitate a Q & A session after every 4 presentations, where students ask and answer questions about the composers who have been presented.

 Documentary

Watch this episode of Iwi Anthems – a documentary series on Māori Television. Chris Winitana talks about a number of Tūwharetoa “anthems”, including Ka Eke ki Wairaka. You could watch the whole documentary (26 minutes) or just the section about Ka Eke ki Wairaka (12:50 minutes).
http://www.maoritelevision.com/tv/shows/iwi-anthems/S01E024/iwi-anthems-series-1-episode-24

• From the research and media they have compiled, students are to make their own short documentary about their composer.
• They could use iMovie or another video editing programme or PowerPoint to create an audio visual presentation.
• The documentary should answer their initial research questions and be 2–3 minutes in length. It should include:

1. Titles and credits
2. Narration
3. Recordings of waiata (or parts of waiata), images (still and moving)

• Students should storyboard their videos. It will to help organise their information and imagery and give them a “map” to work with when compiling and editing their presentation. Depending on how accustomed your students are to storyboarding, you may need to demonstrate.
• Remind students they can use both sketches and notes to help them organise the main ideas in each part of their storyboard.
• In pairs, students share their storyboards. They should both give feedback on the storyboard e.g. could they follow the storyline; were the key ideas clearly presented.
• Using their storyboards to guide them, students compile and edit their presentations.
• As a class, view the documentaries.

 What you do

• Ka whakawhiti whakaaro tahi me ngā ākonga mō ngā wāhine Māori kua tito waiata i te rautau kua pahure ake nei.

Ka haere tonu ngā mahi a ngā kaitito wahine toa i te momo tangata pērā i a Tuini Ngāwai me Ngoingoi Pēwhairangi. I te tekau tau 1980 ka tuhi a Pēwhairangi i ngā waiata rongonui pērā i a ‘E Ipo’ me ‘Poi E’ i waiatatia e Tui Teka me te Karapu Māori o Pātea.

I ngā tau tīmatanga o te rautau 2000 ko Whirimako Black, rātou ko Moana Maniapoto, ko Maisey Rika mā ērā i whakatairanga ake i te puoro Māori me te mana wahine.[1]

Tae noa mai ki tēnei wā ko Toni Huata rātou ko Majic Paora, ko Ariana Tikao, ko Mina Ripia ētahi o ngā wāhine Māori e tito waiata ana i roto anō i te reo Māori. Heoi anō ko Anika Moa, Bic Runga, Betty-Ann Monga me te huhua tonu o ngā wāhine Māori e tito waiata ana, e waiata ana i roto i te reo Ingarihi.

• Matapakia ngā ataata puoro, me te rite o te ataata o Ka Eke ki Wairaka ki tētahi ataata puoro – arā, he waiata e tautokona ana ki ōna anō whakaahua nekeneke. Uia atu tēnei pātai:
  He aha ngā āhuatanga e rawe ai tētahi ataata puoro?
• Ka mahi ā-rōpū ngā ākonga. Ka kōwhiria he mōteatea e mōhio ana rātou, kua rangahaua rānei e rātou, ā, ka hangaia he “ataata puoro” mō taua mōteatea.
• Me āta tirotiro e rātou ngā kupu o te waiata, ka ohia manomano ai i ngā whakaahua tērā ka pai hei hoa mō ngā kupu. Anei ētahi momo mea kia kuhuna ki te ataata:
  He ataata, he kiriata kua hopukina e ngā ākonga
  He whakaahua kāmera
  He tuhituhi
  He mahi toi kua hangaia e rātou.
• Ka waihanga papapaki anō ngā ākonga mō ā rātou ataata. Mā konei e mōhiotia ai he aha ngā mea hei mahi mā rātou i tēnā wāhanga, i tēnā wāhanga o te ataata. Whakamahia te tauira papapaki A3, ina hiahiatia: PAPAPAKI-A2.PDF.
• Ka whai haere te rōpū i te papapaki, ka kohikohi, ka whakatika/whakapaipai i ngā āhuatanga ataata me ngā āhuatanga oro.
• Ka noho tōpū te akomanga ki te mātakitaki i ngā pakipūmeka. Mā te pouako e whakahaere tētahi ‘wānanga’ e noho tahi ai ngā kaihanga kiriata me te hunga mātakitaki, he tuku pātai, he whakautu pātai mō ngā pakipūmeka te mahi.
• Whakatūria he taiopenga kiriata, ka pōhiri ai i ngā whānau, i te iwi kāinga, i ētahi kaumātua rānei kia haere ake ki te mātakitaki i ngā pakipūmeka.

• Talk about music videos and how the video of Ka Eke ki Wairaka is like a music video i.e. that the waiata is supported with moving imagery. Ask:

What makes a good music video?

• Students work in groups. They are to choose a mōteatea that they know or have been researching, and create a “music video” for it.
• They should look at the lyrics and brainstorm imagery that would be appropriate. Some things they could include:
• Video footage that they have shot
• Photographic imagery
• Text
• Artwork they have created.
• Students should create storyboards for their video. This will help them organise what each part of the video requires. They could use this A3 storyboard template, PAPAPAKI-A2.pdf.
• As a group, work to their storyboard, collate and edit sound and imagery.
• View the documentaries as a class. Facilitate session with filmmakers, and audience asking and answering questions and giving and receiving feedback.
• Organise a short film festival and invite whānau and local iwi or kaumātua to come see the documentaries.
