The 1st time I ever heard this waiata was last yr 2022 when my mokos sung it @there local school kapa haka it hit me hard & bought me to tears I know it resonated with me because it made me cry. I knew from this moment my decision to return home after being away for so long was the right decision for me. I returned home end of 2019 after 20+ yrs away. I tear up & struggle to sing it when I try to join in with my mokos during practise times a beautiful waiata indeed💖
I got taught this song in intermediate and know i'm in collage singing this song on matariki, who else was the same thing if you do like this and also love this song it brings back memories.
Kia ora Rahera Davies. He waiata ataahua. Kei te ako taku kura katoa mo teenei tau. It's important for our tamariki to learn through waiata because 1-they are musical, and rhythms and tunes carry the kupu that they are learning about and 2 - Expressing our appreciation, acknowledgement and emotion is natural when we understand what we are singing about. My year 7 & 8 tamariki listen to this during art time. Next week they'll know it and teach it to our kura.
Kia ora Rahera and thank you so much for this beautiful waiata. I have taught it to our senior children at Gorge Road School and the rest of the school will be learning it also. Waiata are hugely important as a way of linking to the past, connecting with ideas, uniting people and possibly the best way to bring Pākehā into a realisation of how rich the Māori world is. Ngā mihi. Sheree
Tēnā koe Rahera, ka rere atu ki ngā mihi nunui rawa ki a koe. Tino rawe ki ōku taringa ki te whakarongo me ngā kupu. Today I let the children at kura watch the waiata. Ko te mea e rua miniti te roanga a tēnei waiata. Lovely simple to teach. Everyday I sing to the tamariki while they are doing their mahi. I tell them about the waiata in a story and let them act the waiata or do mahitoi and then sing. Miharo miharo. Learning Māori stories is so important to remember events and ingoa and learning through waiata allows the children to combine listening, writing, singing, movement and voice control together. I hope this helps. My moko showed us your video. I kuraina ai ia i tō kura kaupapa i tērā tau i Nelson. Kei te kura kaupapa o Te Wairoa ia naianei.
Tena ra koe Rahera. E ako ana matau o te ropu Takatapui, e kiia nei ko Tiwhanawhana, tou ake waiata. He mama ki te ako no te mea, he rawe te papa takoto o te whakaaro.
Kia ora Kevin. My good friend Gene Potae used to be in your rōpū back in the days. Mīharo ki te rongo atu kei te waiatatia e koutou :) Tena koa mena ka whai wā koe, tukuna mai he kape o tōu rōpū e waiata ana :)
Kia Ora! Thank you for letting the world learn this waiata. We will teach in school this week as a part of our Matariki celebrations and will definitely identify you as the composer x

Kia ora Rahera, We have learnt this waiata at our Kura, Kaikohe East School. I believe that learning about Kaupapa through waiata is very important and an easy and engaging way to strengthen understanding with very little effort.
Tena koe e Rahera. He waiata rerehua tenei. Ka whakaako ahau ki nga tamariki o to matou akomanga. He pai hoki mo nga marau katoa. Kia wetewete ai te waiata nei mo te panui, te tuhituhi hoki. Nga mihi mahana ki a koe me to pukenga rawe.
Kia Ora Rahera, Thank you very much for your lovely waiata, which goes with our Play of The Mataariki Story, we are students in our Second Year of Bacheor of Education, studying at Te Whare Wananga O Awanuiarangi in Tamaki. We would like to use your song in our Play, that is for our Aromatawai AHO 202 Paper, Our group consists of 4 People, and will be performing in front of our class with our lecturer on the 5th July at our noho and this will be judged. We have chosen this song, as to teach our class and Tamariki within our Practicum and as a Teacher. Much appreciated Marion, Lovinia, Shaunni, Chevelle.

Kia ora Rahera, your waiata is a favourite of ours and we are using it for a Te Reo assignment at Ara Te Pūkenga in Ōtautahi. We would love to speak to you about the origins of this song and how you came to writing it. When was this song composed? What inspired you? What was the purpose of this waiata? Our kaiako told us the kōrero around your amendment to include the Pōhutukawa and Hiwa-i-te-rangi- ataahua!

Kia ora koutou, i am currently conducting some research on the importance of waiata in the way we transfer and retain knowledge and i would appreciate some help from you all....... If you have learn or taught this waiata as a way of teaching people about Matariki, please comment your name and name of school/kura/Kōhanga Reo/Kindy below and if you could tell me: how important is waiata in learning about things Māori and why is it important? NGĀ MIHI, Rahera
Rahera Davies Tēnā Koe Rahera :-) Last year we taught this waiata to our house group at Te Kura O Hora Hora in Whangarei. It is a beautiful waiata that the tamariki were able to learn and remember easily. Learning waiata is an essential part of upholding our Māori heritage as that is a way our tipuna passed on knowledge, before the time of pen and paper. Waiata allow us to retell stories in a way that is more powerful than reading aloud. As an adult myself I still actually find it easier to remember Information if I sing it. A lot of my learning of Te Reo comes from singing waiata, I am still an Akonga in that aspect but waiata definitely helps. Kia Ora mö tö mahi Rahera ko koe he manu tioriori, he kaiarahi, he kaiako, he wahine ātaahua, tēnā rawa atu 😊
Na matou o Te Roopu Reo Rua o te Kura o Finlayson, te whiwhi me te honore ki te whakaako i tou waiata ki ou matou tamariki i tenei wa ataahua o Matariki. Ma tenei waiata pea, ou matou akonga e hono ki te ataahua o te wa. Tena ano koe Whaea Rahera.
We love this waiata. We sing it at work all the time, especially when our rangitira come. Such beautiful waiata.
