20.1 Aue te aroha

Aue te aroha might be described as the "anthem" of the school (St. Joseph's Maori Girls' College, Hawke's Bay, New Zealand). There is a 50 year link between the Rotary Club and the school, and each year the girls visit the club and entertain members.

[@khanpaniora5346]

I love this song aue te aroha because this catholic maori broading school SJMGC IS sisters to my old Anglican maori broading school Hukarere maori girls college

[@deejannemeiurffnicht1791]

every time i hear maori and samoan music my eyes just well up with tears. loved new zealand so much when living there till a few years ago. it was the maori folk and samoan folk who mademy time there so special. as a scotsman, i saw how much the crown had robbed from our cummunities here in scotland,but that maori and samoan people still had in tact. i think this is what scottish people feel when they hear this music and why it effects us so deeply. this is community music that can take on the world

[@wallace500001]

+womble dung Yep ! It's going to happen yet. How can it not if we keep on going and show the strength of spirit of all of our friends in New Zealand.

[@tekuiniehiahiaanaanongatip3302]

NZ Schools didnt promote compulsory maori language however they offered a component of maori learning to students via options unless it was a school like st josephs which promoted a strong committment to practicing maori. Kapa haka wasnt funded by the crown, each group had to fund raise to raise money for uniforms. They usually did kapa haka concerts to earn money. These maori people committed to retaining the maori language and the songs, in practice but were never allowed to force their ideals into the schools, or restructure the NZ education syllabus. Only the crown had this right to organise, select and manage the additional maori works which we have not had yet. Beautiful work like this was mostly used to entertain tourists or assist with ceremony provisions from schools or welcoming important people. The maori people however were always to remain under the treaty crown for direction and instruction. TOW 1840, held the entertainment rights and lost the knowledge of lawful committment. Lets hope we can do the treaty again for the betterment of the people and the future generations. Scotland sometimes its about getting out what you put in, instead of blaming the crown. Lol E rite ana. ie. The pakeha language to hunt, the maori language to bless the food.

Absolutely fantastic, keeping the traditions and culture alive....

[@terangimariecollins2563]

Nanny Jessie Thomson is the composer of Aue te Aroha. It is a Catholic Anthem, She is an old girl of SJMGC and one of the old Patrons of the Hui Aranga. Hence SJMGC still performs it and it is only sung at Catholic gatherings throughout the world when Maori Catholics are present. Mena ka mohio koe ki nga kupu, ka mohio hoki koe ki te kaupapa o te waiata.

AMAZING! You moved us so much! Strength, Pride, Youth, Beauty. The traditional Maori outfits would be best fitting compared to the school uniforms. Again, forgive my non-Maori comments (I live in Texas), but your tradition is too good, and we want to see more of this.

[@Eric-kw2bv]

Amazing how the Moari culture is so vastly different to that of the (vanishing) Australian Aboriginal culture.

[@aoteagirl60]

why? Maori are polynesians that have been around for approx.1000 years in nz (coming originally from SEA), the indigenous people of australia have been around for over 50,000 years in australia and were the first human to migrate out of africa - I assure you they are not a vanishing culture as much as the white conservative aussies like to make out they are but retain their culture via their cultural dance/stories/paintings - obviously you know little about australian indigenous culture

[@Eric-kw2bv]

I was making a statement...which is 100% correct. I didn't ask "why", as I already know that, but thanks for your reply anyway. Your assumption of me is way off mark.

[@aoteagirl60]

sorry but you are wrong if you think the Australian Indigenous culture is vanishing - you are way off mark

[@Eric-kw2bv]

If you are keen to inform people they are wrong so persistently, especially when you have no idea who you are addressing, at least have the courage of your convictions and use your name, instead of pretending to be some young lady from NZ...but you are just another key-board warrior.

[@aoteagirl60]

You have to check out tutira mai nga iwi, by the little people school, and two NZ Maori celebs. This one is beautiful too. NZ Schools didnt promote compulsory maori language however they offered a component of maori learning to students via options unless it was a school like st josephs which promoted a strong committment to practicing maori. Kapa haka wasnt funded by the crown, each group had to fund raise to raise money for uniforms. They usually did kapa haka concerts to earn money. These maori people committed to retaining the maori language and the songs, in practice but were never allowed to force their ideals into the schools, or restructure the NZ education syllabus. Only the crown had this right to organise, select and manage the additional maori works which we have not had yet. Beautiful work like this was mostly used to entertain tourists or assist with ceremony provisions from schools or welcoming important people. The maori people however were always to remain under the treaty crown for direction and instruction. TOW 1840, held the entertainment rights and lost the knowledge of lawful committment. Lets hope we can do the treaty again for the betterment of the people and the future generations. Scotland sometimes its about getting out what you put in, instead of blaming the crown.

@ Yuki Nagato... where did you get taiwanese from? we have nothing in common with Taiwanese... we do in fact have similarities with Thailand... but also South america. no one knows where moari originate from... it is all assumption.

[@JosephWilliamIsaac]

this is all theory...just like evolution.

[@JosephWilliamIsaac]

you are exactly right there, "Believe" you can choose to believe in this theory or not... everything "Evidence" they find is suggested evidence in my "Belief". maybe those islands were visited by them.. who know?? you can choose to believe in aliens or not. the universe in infinite. or you can choose to believe that the Polynesian races originated from 2 small islands. cause the world is also a big place.

***** I thoroughly believe and support your korero, e hoa. All people originated from somewhere, and it is interesting to see the the similarities in our culture and others around the world. From the Polynesian islands to America and back to Asia, although we are different peoples we are all connected through our traditions, beliefs, language and DNA. I am proud to be Maaori, but it is annoying too see closed minded Maaori spouting their separatist views giving us a bad name.

[@zabaleta66]

We Maori have many similarities to the Ainu, the indigenous people of Northern Japan........we are not Chinese in origin......not that I have anything against the Chinese. If anything, the prehistoric ancestors movements from the fertile crescent could be traced back to that region.

I think they mean they've adapted the song as their anthem, rather than created it.

Maori is a language which is part of the Austronesian language group. These various languages which are all linked to a common origin are spoken by 390 million people, Malay being the commonest. The most ancient forms of these languages appear to be the languages spoken by the indigenous tribes of Taiwan/Formosa (before the Chinese came there) These people spread out across the Pacific and SE Asia from about 3000BC. There is a decent Wiki article on Austronesian languages. These connections are soundly based linguistic facts - not assumptions.
