Whakaheke toto tonu ana te iwi Maori ki te Pakanga Tuarua o te ao. I te
tuwheratanga o te whawhai nui ka puta noa nga taitama hei tuao ki te Taua
Tuarua o Aotearoa. Kua rongo pai te iwi mo nga mahi rongonui a nga tupuna hoia,
tae noa ki te Ope Taua 28. Engari, he aha ra nga korero mo te hunga i noho tonu
ai ki te kainga?
Kei a Raupanga he korero mo te ao
Maori i te wa o te Pakanga Tuarua, ara, mo nga mahi me nga wheako o te hunga i
noho nei ki te kainga. E toru tekau ma iwa nga purakau kua tangia ki te reo
Maori, kua whakanikohia ki nga tini whakaahua ataahua. E aro matua ana ki nga
kaupapa e whitu, ara, ki te Mahi, ki nga Mahi Taua, ki te Hapori, ki nga
Taiohi, ki te Torangapu, ki te Whakapono, a, ki Muri i te Pakanga.
Ka ahu a Raupanga mai i nga
wheketere ki nga pamu, mai i nga marae ki nga whare karakia, mai i nga kura ki
nga puni hoia, mai i nga takiwa taiwhenua ki nga taone nunui. E ata titiro ana
tenei ki nga koiora o nga tangata, ki nga mahi hoki a nga whanau me nga hapori.
Kei roto he korero mo te Kingitanga, mo te petihana o Orakei, mo te kapa haka,
mo nga tohetohe a-torangapu, a-hahi, a-papori hoki, ara, he korero mo nga Maori
e noho tonu ana ki Aotearoa i te wa pakanga. He waka huia a Raupanga, e
horaina ana nga korero o taua wa mo nga whanau o naianei, me nga reanga
whakaheke.
He hoa reo Maori a Raupanga ki te pukapuka Pakeha, ki Te Hau Kainga: The Maori Home Front during
the Second World War. He kohikohinga korero ke tenei mo te wa o te Pakanga Tuarua ki nga
hapori Maori o te kainga. Na Angela Wanhalla ratou ko Sarah Christie, ko Lachy
Paterson, ko Ross Webb, ko Erica Newman i tuhi.
Raupanga brings together the
people, stories and places underpinning the Maori wartime experience of the
Second World War. Written in te reo Maori, thirty-seven succinctly illustrated
pieces explore seven themes: Mahi (Work); Mahi Taua (Home Defence); Hapori (Community);
Taiohi (Youth); Torangapu (Politics); Whakapono (Religion); and I Muri i te
Pakanga (Post-war). Raupanga journeys from
factories to farms, from marae to churches, and considers the experience of
communities in and out of urban centres. Delving into stories of the Kingitanga,
kapa haka, the Orakei petition, and their champions, this book is a treasure
trove of historical narratives waiting to be shared with whanau and future
generations across Aotearoa New Zealand.
