      It was the third wave actually. First wave was whalers and sealers who if weren’t killed usually married into the iwi. Second wave was the priests. Who actually did good by the Maori compared to other colonised lands they had come unto.
      The third wave though. Was the british crown, british settlers and the establishing of an New Zealand government. Thats when it started to turn to shit for the Tupe’s

      As Māori we do not define ourselves by blood. That is a foreign concept. It is a pity that some Māori define themselves as Māori by this foreign concept. You have two Māori children. You are more Māori than those who have Māori blood in them but no appreciation of the culture.

    He kākano āhau
    I ruia mai i Rangiātea1
    And I can never be lost
    I am a seed, born of greatness
    Descended from a line of chiefs,
    He kākano āhau
    I am a seed
    Scattered from Rangiatea
    And I can never be lost
    I am a seed, born of greatness
    Descended from a line of chiefs,
    I am a seed.
    Ki hea rā āu e hītekiteki2 ana
    Ka mau tonu i āhau ōku tikanga
    Tōku reo, tōku oho-oho,
    Tōku reo, tōku māpihi maurea3
    Tōku whakakai marihi
    My language is my strength,
    An ornament of grace
    Wherever I may roam
    I will hold fast to my traditions.
    My language is my cherished possession
    My language is the object of my affection
    My precious adornment
    My language is my strength,
    An ornament of grace
    Ka tū ana āhau,
    Ka ūhia au e ōku tīpuna4
    My pride I will show
    That you may know who I am
    I am a warrior, a survivor
    He mōrehu āhau Whenever I stand,
    I am clothed by my ancestors
    My pride I will show
    That you may know who I am
    I am a warrior, a survivor
    I am a remnant

    I will hold fast to my traditions.
    My language is my cherished possession
    My treasured Tiger Shell
    My precious ornament
    My language is my strength,

    My Maori family are in my heart no matter where I am Aunties and Uncles from 17 Mories where I was sung in when I went back to speak at the Healing Our Spirit confrence. I am honored to be a part of the families who took such good care of us as we did them when they came to visit us in America.
    I miss them especially Uncle Sonny and Uncle Nikol The whold Bullock family who shared the sacred land tour with us and helped out at the gathering.
    The feeling of peach and love is still with me. MN

      Colours don't matter it's what you feel inside. I felt a pull back to my roots even as a little girl I felt different from my mum's side and it never left ... I didn't feel whole. I was denied my right to Maori side and as this waiata suggests in the line my great grandfather wrote e kore e ngaro he kakano ahu ... a seed can never be lost.. it will ALWAYS find its way back.
      You are what you feel inside

    Aue, The song was written by Hohepa Tamehana from Ngati Patuheuheu or otherwise known as "Waiohau" if it's any consulation he was raised in Kawerau, and was commonly known as Joseph Thompson.He wrote it for the series "Manutioriori" which was way back in 1999-2000 for the remaining 12 contestants who were: The T Sisters, Hemi Peke, Amomai Pihema, Te Rau Winterburn, Melody Haira, Hayden Weke and others. Sorry cant remember the names.

    kia ora

    He kakano ahau i ruia mai i rangi atea
    And i can never be lost i am the seed Born of Greatness
    Descended from a line of chiefs he kakano ahau
    CHORUS I hea ra au e hitekiteki ana kamau tonu i ahau oku tikanga
    Toku reo toku oho oho toke reo toku mapihi maurea
    Toku whakakai marihi
    my language is my strength an ornamental grace
    Ka tu ana ahau ka uhi ahau e oku tipuna
    My pride i will show that u they know who i am
    I am a warrior a survivor,He morehu ahau

    People have opinions for sure. Maori are not racist, we embrace more than push away. We are proud of who we are, and show it in whatever way we choose. Nothing wrong with that. We love who we are ... bc we can. MEAN MAORI MEAN !!!!

    Kia ora ano, I purchased this song a while back, but it was on the 'Aaria-Kei a wai ra te kupu' cassingle CD. Yes, it might be hard to find but should still be around, they sold 1000's of them.
