Personal info for Whakaako

Name: Hone Phillips

Notes: Though I don't currently have a website I have been involved in web design for some time. My kaitiaki work is currently being carried out by writing. I am, for example, transcribing "Te Reo Maori mo te Tari" (primarily for personal use by my wife and I) intending to see whether there are plans to republish it. I would welcome making the transcription available to a komiti so we can work together and put it on the Internet for all to use - with appropriate cultural information. I concur with the original publishers' concern about the need for cultural information lest the language become divorced from our Maori culture. This is of course subject to approval from the original publishers.

He Mihi:

Tui tuia he kororia ki to matou Matua i te Rangi.
Kei te mohio ano matou. Ko ia hoki te timatanga me te mutunga o nga mea katoa.
No reira, Tena koe, Tena koe, Kia ora ra koe.

Nga mihi ano ki a korua ko Ranginui me Papatuanuku.
Ranginui, titiro iho kia matou whakaora ia matou i wanganui korua ko Papatuanuku e takato mai na.
Tena korua, tena korua, tena korua.

Te Marae Atea i te Ipurangi e takoto mai na, Takoto mai, takoto mai, takoto mai.
Te wharenui arohaina, o Nga Kaitiaki e tu nei
Tena koe, tena koe, tena koe.

Tena ano hoki i o tatou tini aitua.
Haere atu kia a ratou i ahu mai i te Manawa nui o te Atua.
Haere, haere, haere koutou katoa.
No reira, ratou te hunga mate kia ratou. Tatou te hunga ora kia tatou.
Tena tatou katoa.
