Ngā Tikanga o Kiripati

He Waka Kōwhatu

I Kiripati, ka raupapa ngā kōhatu kia rite ki te waka hei ako i ngā whetū me ngā āmai PAPAKUPU āmai - he ngaru, nā ngā hau me ngā āwhā te karekare mai moana. Kia ako i ngā taunga whetū o tōna anō moutere, ka nohoia e te ākonga tētahi kōhatu nui – anō nei e noho waka ana. I a ia e ako āmai ana, ko te kōwhatu nui tana moutere. Ko ngā kōwhatu iti e tohua ana i ngā āhua ngaro i te tūtakitanga o ētahi āmai rerekē.
