Karapu Lit: He Reka te Mahi
Vancouver, British Columbia, Kanata
KA WAIATA RĀTOU...KA KANIKANI RĀTOU... ā, he nui hoki tā rātou pānui pukapuka! Nō Vancouver, Kanata, te ataahua o tēnei rōpū kaipānui hihiri.
He ingoa pai. He aha te tikanga?
E tata ana ki te toru tau mātou kāore he ingoa. He "karapu pukapuka" noa iho mātou. Kātahi ka puta te mahi makutu i te marama o Hune 2013...
I a mātou e whakarite ana i te rōpū mō tētahi pukapuka me tētahi wāhanga tīmatanga tino whakamā, i whakatūpato mai tētahi mema he uaua ki te whakaoti. Engari kia māia, i tohe ia, he "tino pai te mahi".
I whakaaroaro mātou ki ngā āhuatanga uaua i pā ki a mātou i roto i te whakatau i ngā take nunui, pērā i te rawakore me te kaikiri—ā, i whakaae mātou…āe, he "tino pai te mahi".
I pēhea kōrua i huihui ai?
I te haerenga atu o tētahi o ō mātou mema ki a ia i Huiterangi, ka rongo ia i te karapu pukapuka a tōna whaea kēkē. I a ia e tata ana ki te tīmata i tana kaupapa Tohu Paerua — me te hiahia hoki ki tētahi huarahi pāpori me tētahi wā ki te pānui pukapuka hei whakangahau — ka whakatau ia ki te kawe i te whakaaro mō te karapu pukapuka ki te kāinga ki Vancouver, ā, ka tere tonu tana kimi mema.
Tokohia nga mema?
Tekau ā mātou mema i tēnei wā. Ko te nui rawa atu, tekau mā toru. Heoi, i neke tētahi mema ki te UK, tētahi ki te roto o BC, ā, me te pouri nui, i mate tā mātou mema aroha, a Julia, i te mate Leukemia i te marama o Oketopa 2013.
Kōrero mai mō te Wero Paināporo hei whakanui i a Julia.
I whakataetae mātou ki te kohi moni mō te Leukemia and Lymphoma Society of Canada. Kei te whakamahere mātou ki te whakataetae anō i te tau e tū mai nei (2015) hei huarahi ki te kohi moni me te whakahonore i tō mātou hoa tino rawe.Ngā whakaahua, i runga ake i te maui.)

He aha ngā mea tino pai i roto i ngā tau?
Āe. Kua oti i a mātou tētahi rangahau mō tētahi karapu, ā, koinei ngā mea kei te tihi o te rārangi:
Te Tāone o ngā Tahae—he pukapuka whakahihiri mō te hunga rangatahi e rite ana ki te kiriata. ♦ He Whare i te Rangi—he wahine taitamariki i tahaetia e ngā tāne o Hōria. ♦
Te Huarahi o ngā Rā e Toru—he haerenga kaha i waenganui i tētahi tangata i muri i te Pakanga Tuatahi o te Ao me tōna whaea kēkē, te wahine Oji-Cree whakamutunga i noho ki te whenua. ♦ Super Sad True Love Story—he tirohanga whakamataku ki te ao hangarau o te heke mai. ♦
Taku Tau Kai—he tūhuratanga whakamere ki ngā kai matatika. ♦
Takutai makimaki—kei tō mātou whenua tūturu o British Columbia, me te ranunga o ngā kōrero tuku iho me ngā tirohanga e rite ana ki te kāinga. ♦ He Haerenga mai i te Rōpū Goon—he kaiwaiata kua kaumātuatia, tana kaiwhakahaere rekoata me ngā tāngata rerekē e noho tahi ana me ērā atu tāngata o roto i ō rātou ao.
Kua puta ake ētahi au i roto i ā tātou whiringa i ngā tau kua pahure ake nei, tae atu ki: ngā pakiwaitara o Kanata, ngā wahine toa kaha, me te dystopia.
He aha ngā mea e pouri ana koe?
Waimarie, kāore he pouri nui. Ko ngā pouri ka pā ki te tangata ake.
I pouri tetahi mema nā te mea ko tana tino pai ki a ia, Te Tiger Ma, kāore i tino manakohia. I tīpakohia tētahi atu mema Te Tūru Mermaid nā Sue Monk Kidd, i hono atu ia ki tēnei pukapuka i ngā tau kua pahure. Heoi, i tana panuitanga anō me te matapaki tahi me te rōpū, ka kite ia kāore i roa te wā e ora ai.
Ā, me pēhea ngā pukapuka i ārahi ki ngā kōrero tino pai?
Te Haora i Whakapono Tuatahi ai ahau—he pānui whakamomori e kī ana i te pōuri, ā, he tino kaha te kōrero mō ngā pūnga i te kura me ngā maharatanga mamae o te kura tuarua i tēnei hui.
Taku Tau Kai—i whai ake ko tētahi kōrero nui mō ngā kai matatika. Ko tēnei hui tētahi o ngā hui tino maumahara, i roto hoki i tēnei hui ko tā mātou aituā rongonui i whiua ai ō mātou hu me te kanikani pea ki te Gangnam Style.
He Whare i te Rangi—he tokomaha ngā mema i kite i a rātou anō e pāngia ana e te pakanga ā-roto i te mea i aroha, i riri hoki rātou ki ngā kōwhiringa a te wahine taitamariki i puritia hereheretia i Hōmāria.
He pēhea te mahi a te karapu e pā ana ki te whiriwhiri pukapuka me ngā wāhi hui?
I te marama o Hepetema ka hangaia he rēhitatanga mō te tau. Ka whiriwhiria e ia mema he marama hei manaaki me te pukapuka hei pānui.
E kōrero ana mātou mō te pukapuka mō te 1-2 hāora i roto i ā mātou hui, engari he nui hoki te wā e waiho ana e mātou mō te whakawhanaungatanga. (E mōhiotia ana hoki mātou he kanikani i ētahi wā.)
He ture karapu?
He maha ā mātou aratohu:
♦ Kāore ā mātou tumanakohanga mō te kai—ka whāngaihia mātou i tētahi āhua, i tētahi āhua rānei. (He maha ngā wā ka kawea mai e ngā mema he kai mātotoru, he inu rānei hei tāpiri atu ki ngā mea e whakaratohia ana e te kaihautū.)
♦ Ka whakarite mātou kia poto ake ā mātou pukapuka i te War me te rangimarieHe pai ake mēnā he pakiwaitara, he kōrero pono rānei, me whai i tētahi kaupapa kōrero.
♦ Me whakamōhio te kaihautū ki ngā mema, i te iti rawa i te kotahi marama i mua, te pukapuka i whiriwhiria e ia kia nui ai te wā mō tātou katoa ki te pānui.
♦ Ka whakarite mātou kia whakawhitiwhiti kōrero. I te tīmatanga, i ako mātou ka tika te haere ki ngā hui, ki ngā whakaaro mō te karapu, me ērā atu mea katoa, mena ka mau tonu tā mātou whakawhitiwhiti kōrero.
Mō te whakawhitiwhiti kōrero, he tino pai tāu tuhinga ipurangi.
Ngā mihi. He huarahi tēnei ki te hono atu ki ngā kaipānui, ki te whakarato i tētahi ara tuhituhi mō ō mātou mema, me te whakapuaki i te mahi a tō mātou karapu ki te hunga katoa e hiahia ana. He mea hou tonu, engari he nui ā mātou mahere mōna! Tena koa tirohia mai!
Kōrero mai ki a mātou mō ō tikanga tuku iho "i tua atu i te tuhituhi".
He Hāta Ngaro (he ahua whakataetae) tā mātou i te Kirihimete, ka taea e ngā mema te whakatuwhera i tētahi koha kua takaihia, te tahae rānei i tētahi koha kāore anō kia takaihia mai i tētahi atu mema. Ko te whakawhitiwhiti kōrero katoa he waiata iti, he mahi huna, he nui te kata...me te wairua pai. Ko te whakaritenga anake: me hono noa ngā koha ki te pānui pukapuka, ki te waina, ki te tiihi rānei.
Ka tū hoki ā mātou "huihuinga pukapuka" (he pukapuka ngā koha katoa) mō ngā huihuinga nui o te ao—te marena, te whānautanga rānei o te tamaiti tuatahi.
Ia tau ka haere mātou ki tētahi wāhi e tata ana ki Vancouver i te mutunga wiki (tirohia te whakaahua, te rarangi tuatahi, te pou). Ka whakaurua e mātou hei hui, nō reira he pukapuka tonu hei matapaki. Ko te āhua o tā mātou wiki mutunga noa koia tēnei:
♦ kai i ngā momo kai reka
♦ noho i roto i ngā puna wera mō te wā roa
♦ whakaitihia (ētahi atu) o ngā kai reka kua whakahuatia
♦ kaukau
♦ kōrerohia te pukapuka mō te haora pea
♦ tapahi anō
♦ haere ki waho mō te tina iti me te kanikani
♦ hoki ki te rūma hōtēra ki te whakapau i ngā kai mātao.
He mea anō tāu e hiahia ana ki te waiho mai mā mātou?
Kua tautoko tā mātou karapu i a mātou anō i roto i ngā wā tuatahi whakamiharo me ngā wā pōuri whakamiharo. Kua hokona e ngā mema ō rātou whare tuatahi, kua wehe i ngā hoa aroha roa, kua whānau ā rātou pēpi tuatahi, kua taumau, kua marena, kua whakaoti i ngā kaupapa kura, kua tīmata mahi, me te maha atu. Kua tautoko mātou tetahi i tetahi i roto i ngā wā katoa, ā, kua piri ake tō mātou hononga.
Kei te whakamahere mātou ki te whakauru i ngā mema hou mō te wā tuatahi i a mātou e anga atu ana ki tō mātou tau tuarima i te marama o Hepetema, 2014. Kei te tino hiahia mātou ki te manaaki i a rātou me ngā ringa tuwhera, me te kawe mai i a rātou ki roto i tō mātou whānau.
