‘Kōrero Māori i nga waahi katoa i nga wa katoa. Ahakoa kei hea koe, ahakoa te whare, te whenua. Ko Ranginui e tu nei, Ko Papatuānuku e takoto nei. Ko Rangi, Ko Papa, Ko Au’.

‘Speak Māori all the time, anywhere no matter which house you enter or land you walk. Sky father above, Mother Earth below, I am a descendant of Rangi and Papa'.

This week’s whakatāuaki is explained by Enoka Murphy nō Ngāti Manawa, Ngāti Ruapani.

The 2014 Heartland Championships in provincial rugby is taking place around Aotearoa, one match in Otaki between Ngāti Pōrou East Coast and Horowhenua-Kapiti took place a fortnight ago. There is a sense of pride, jubilation, celebration and remembrance with grassroots rugby as Justine found out, when she met up with Sports Commentator Ken Eruera and former Māori All Black and Ngāti Pōrou East Coast rugby player Sir Tamati Reedy who both provide an insight into the team’s history.

Moana House is a Dunedin based rehabilitation treatment programme for adult male offenders.  Takurua Tawera  teaches the men coping mechanisms within a māori kaupapa framework to help overcome addiction and behavioural issues. The ultimate goal is that the men are able to ease back into their communities.  Takurua explains Whakaoho (self-awareness), Mohiotanga (self-learning) and Mana Motuhake (self-determination) with Justine Murray.
