Karapu Lit: Ngā Pānui o te Raorao
Hancock, Vermont
I muri i te tupuhi nui, i whānau mai he wairua hou i Hancock, Vermont, i te wā i mahi tahi ai ngā tāngata whenua ki te hanga anō i tō rātou tāone iti. Ko tētahi o ngā pānga roa ko te whakatūnga o tētahi karapu pukapuka whakamiharo.
Kōrero mai ki a mātou mō te hītori o tō karapu.
I pā kino mai a Irene, te awha nui i pā ki te Tai Rāwhiti i te marama o Ākuhata, 2011, ki a tātou. Ahakoa kua neke atu i te rua tau i muri mai, kei te whakatikatika tonu tātou i ngā whare me te hanga anō i ngā rori me ngā piriti.
He tino kino rawa atu pea.
Ae, engari i āwhina ngā hoa noho tata, ā, i ringihia mai ngā tūao ki te tuku āwhina. I roa te wā i mua i te whakangā, engari i te marama o Poutū-te-rangi, 2012, he tokomaha i hiahia kia mutu te wairua hapori i whiwhi uaua ai.
Ko tētahi wāhanga o ā mātou mahi he whakatū i te Whare Pukapuka Tūmatanui Hoa o Hancock Free. I hiahia mātou ki te whakapiki i te mōhiotanga me te whakamahinga o te whare pukapuka, me te āwhina ki te waihanga kaupapa hou.
Na ka tupu te aha?
I kite mātou he huarahi pai te rōpū pukapuka hei whakakotahi i te tangata, nō reira i whakatūria ai mātou i te marama o Hepetema 2012. He rōpū pumau tō mātou, e 8-12 tāngata—he mea whai hua te whai i tētahi mahi rongonui pēnei i tō mātou tāone iti.
Nō Hancock koutou katoa?
Kāo. E 324 noa iho te taupori o Hancock. E toru ngā tāone e karapoti ana i a mātou e kukume ana i ō mātou mema (me tua atu hoki). Ko tō mātou ingoa, "Valley Readers" e whakaata ana i tō mātou whenua me tō mātou whakaurunga.
Āe, me kōrero tāua mō āu pukapuka.
Anei tā mātou rārangi mō tō mātou tau tuatahi hei karapu pukapuka:
Ka rite ki te wai mo te tiakarete
Ngā Tāngata o te Pukapuka
Te peke i te Kirihimete
Water for Elephants
Te tapahi mo te Kohatu
Ngā Kōtiro o te Kāreti Oneone
Te Ākonga o te Kaihanga Kuīni
Ngā Aroha Haereere
Te Kōtiro Whare
He Wiki i te Takurua
Māua ko Whaea Kennedy
Anne Morrow Lindbergh nā Dorothy Hermann
Te Kaikorero
He rārangi pai rawa atu. He tino pai ki a koe?
He tokomaha i aroha Te Ākonga o te Kaihanga Kuīni ā, he tokomaha i pānui i ngā pukapuka kē atu o taua raupapa. Te Kōtiro Whare a Māua ko Whaea Kennedy ko ngā mea tino pai, ā, i hua ake ai he kōrero pai.
Ā, me pēhea ngā pouri?
Ngā Aroha Haereere Koinei pea te pukapuka kāore i tino pai ki te rōpū, engari i arahi i te tini o ngā kōrero. I pouri te iwi mō te āhua o te whakatipu a te kaituhi i tōna whānau me tana whakahaere i te whakapono.
Kōrero mai ki a mātou me pēhea koe e whiriwhiri ai i ō pukapuka. He āhua ōkawa noa iho—ā, he tino pai, kāore i te pēnei i ngā karapu pukapuka i ngā wā katoa!
He mahi tino mahi tahi tēnei. Ia marama ka huri haere mātou i te tēpu, ka kōrero mō ngā mea e pānuihia ana e te katoa. I te nuinga o te wā ka hangaia e mātou tā mātou rārangi mai i ngā whakaaro o ngā mema—kua whakaarohia e te nuinga o te katoa tētahi o ā mātou pukapuka. Ā, kua pānuihia e mātou ngā pukapuka rerekē, e kite ana koutou.
Heoi, kotahi te kaupapa ka karohia e mātou: i whakaae katoa mātou kāore mātou e hiahia ki te pānui i ngā pukapuka e kohurutia ana ngā tamariki.
I kite koe i a Chris Bohjalian, e tika ana?
Āe, he tangata nō Vermont ia. I te tuku kōrero ia, tata ki te haora te tawhiti, i runga i Ngā Kōtiro o te Kāreti Oneone, i te wā e pānuihia ana e mātou mō te hui o taua marama. Kua whakaritea hoki e mātou tana mea hou, Te Mārama i roto i ngā Tūāpapa, mō tā mātou hui i te marama o Pēpuere 2014.
Ka whai kāinga hou koe a mua tata nei.
Āe, tino harikoa mātou! Kua tū te hui ki te Whare Tāone o Hancock. Engari kei te nekehia tō mātou whare pukapuka iti ki tētahi atu wāhi, e toru ngā wā te nui atu i tō mua. Kia oti te neke (te mutunga o te puna, 2014), ka tū ā mātou hui ki reira.
Kōrero mai ki a mātou he aha tāu e mahi ai mō te Kirihimete.
Kei te anga atu mātou ki tō mātou Kirihimete tuarua, ināianei, ka tū he tina kōwhiri me te whakawhiti pukapuka. I te tau kua hipa i tūtaki mātou ki te whare o tētahi mema...ā, i tēnei tau ka noho mātou ki te whare o tētahi atu mema.
Ā, me pēhea ngā ture o te karapu?
Kotahi te ture: he wāhi haumaru, kāore he whakahē i roto i tō mātou karapu, hei wāhi whakawhitiwhiti whakaaro. Kāore mātou e whakaae tetahi ki tetahi i ngā wā katoa, engari he whakaute tonu tā mātou.
Hei whakamutunga, he aha tāu e hiahia ana kia mōhio ai ā mātou kaipānui mō ngā kaipānui o te Valley?
He rōpū wāhine kanorau mātou, mai i te 30 ki te 80 tau te pakeke. He nui ake tō mātou aro ki ngā tikanga nā te mea he kaumātua ake ō mātou mema (kāore Rima tekau atarangi o Kerei mō mātou hei rōpū!), engari he pai te noho tahi o mātou katoa, ā, e whakanuia ana e mātou ngā meneti 90 e noho tahi ana mātou i ia marama!
