Maori Performance

[@tineiafiafaaso2005]

OMG it bring back sweet memories of the past back in 1974 to 1976 at Wellington at College Taita and Hutt Valley Memorial Technical College I joined the kapahaka Group but I'm a Samoan student that because was hardly any other islanders in the school at the time was just few of us so we have to joined the Maori group we learned all this beautiful waiata and Maori dance and it was most wonderful and best time of my life here in NZ and my God I still remembered the names of my Maori Teachers Mr Pohe and my correspondence school teacher his name is Jim I forgot his last name but I never forget them the Maori people are the most fun loving people with the great Mana I love them all GB alofas from this Samoan Princess Tinei Afaaso Otara South Auckland NZ Kiaora.

[@barbsmart7373]

@@alimalattas Thankyou for the opportunity to share some of our nation's history and let you know that no true Kiwi supports victory in the unprovoked attack on Ukraine. We are a nation with a truly rich recent history of helping to rid the world of evil, not supporting it. There are hundreds of cemetries where people who made the ultimate sacrifice with that objective lay buried. We now have deep remorse and a special bond with Turkish descendants of the conflict. We also have a good relationship with the German people and others. When the Russian people realise what is really going on, they will have to live with that truth about the horrors their great country inflicted upon their neighbouring brothers and sisters. We who are British descendants here are trying to learn more about respect and help put things right in New Zealand even today- a long time after everything our people did to the innocent people of this land. We are a peace loving country, mate. No one here appreciates your symbol of war and destruction against innocent people. Perhaps you could remove it as it has no relevance here.Tangata whenua are sharing their hearts, beauty and skill with us all with these waiata. Instead of projecting disharmony, perhaps you could comment on the wonderful performance instead of ignoring it and using it as a platform for manifesting hatred. You could also research and be inspired by the bravery of the warriors who served in both World Wars. Many tipuna died for the peace and liberty we have here in Aotearoa. They were staunch and many were very young. Check out 'the Maori Battalian' for starters. We love Russians and Ukrainians, not an oppressive leadership with the kind of propaganda you are caught up in. I hope Kiwis will like my comment if they love all people and Peace.

[@lanabills4498]

Get in there! Learn a song

[@barbsmart7373]

I am pakeha. My children's grandmother & father are Maori. I took my daughter to kohanga in 1985. A member of parliament planned to come and visit our kohanga. So we learned 2 waiata. It was great fun and I have awesome memories of the kohanga, kaiako, of Nan, and of the strong, strong energy of ❤️ love. I can remember one of the waiata very well. Please, do it now! Broaden yourself, connect with your people, pick up a bit more of te reo and love your whole experience. I try to learn new waita these days, but just really struggle to remember. Do it while you're young, Brother. If anyone reading this can translate for me so I have a way of describing the strong energy of love. We would walk in and the kaiako would be so full of energy and love, greeting Pepe with such enthusiasm. When I looked after my baby granddaughter I secretly took her to a nearby Kohanga. All the little tamariki would run to the door to see her and stroke her head. My people just don't greet people like that- as if they really really matter.

[@skylagaaia1683]

Don’t lose that connection.. it’s a very powerful foundation. Learn as much as you can about it, and in doing so, you learn more of who you are in your world… Arohanui (much love)❤️

Awesome bro

[@barbsmart7373]

I know how you feel, Brother. All my children and their other siblings, and all my grandchildren and their other siblings are all Maori (descendants). I am the only one who is not. As a pakeha I have been truly inspired by the love, respect, whanaungatanga, stewardship, unity and strength of the Maori people. If I could become more like them I would be a better person. Taking a good look at my own culture important as I see the competitiveness and a lack of caring, but I am lucky to be enriched and to see such generosity, respect and welcoming from people who inherited a more kind and connected world view. I have looked at many belief systems and I think te ao Maori is about the best. It is the connection to the land, rivers, oceans and all of nature, as well as to ancestors, family, elders and grandchildren, that help raise it up so high. It is deeply spiritual in every way. I think the indigenous people from all over the world have similar connections, but they have been destroyed even more than ours. Now that our planet is close to total destruction we need to reconnect in a similar way to the needs of mother Earth.
