He Waka He Tangata
Te Whakatere ā-lwi-Taketake
i te Moana-nui-a-Kiwa
Ngā tikanga o Ngā Moutere o Māhara
Kauwhata Rākau
Ko ngā tātai moutere o Māhara e whātoro nei i te aroaro o te āmai PAPAKUPU āmai - he ngaru, nā ngā hau me ngā āwhā te karekare mai matua. He tino taonga te āmai nei mo te whakatere. Ka whakaakona ngā kaiwhakatere rangatahi ki te takoto tuarā nei i te moana kia rongo i te āmai. Hei whakaako i ngā āhua matua, ka here tahi ngā iwi o Ngā Moutere o Māhara. Ka herea he anga hei tohu moutere.
• He whakaakoranga pakeke PAPAKUPU pakeke - he mea pakari tonu te mattang kia ako ai he pēhea e pā ai te tūpana o te āmai me te pā a tētahi ki tētahi.
• He kauwhata whakatere te rebbellith me te meddo e whakaatu nei me pēhea e tae atu ai mai i tētahi moutere ki tētahi mā te whai i te āhua āmai. Ko te hokinga ake he kauwhata rerekē. Kei te huinga moutere o Rataka o Rariki rānei, o rāua tahi rānei te rebbellith. E hāngai ana te meddo ki ngā kāhui moutere iti ake.
He whakamārama anō kei konei mō te haere tonu o ngā āmai.
He mea whakamā ki te kaiwhakatere te kawe kauwhata i a rātou e haere ana nā te mea ko te tikanga me mōhio kē ia e whakaatu ana i te aha. I mua, he tokoiti noa iho i whakaakona ki te hanga kauwhata rākau pēnei.
Pānui: Kua pau te kotahi rau tau ngā kōrero o runga nei e kohia ana e Captain Winkler o te Ope Heremana o Tiamani. Kāre anō kia whakamanā e ngā iwi mōhio ki tēnei mea te kauwhata rākau. Ki ētahi atu kairangahau he kauwhata wabebe (atu i te mattang), e whakaatu nei i ngā āmai e huri nei i te moutere kotahi.
