He kupu whakamārama mō ngā kahu
Te Whāinga
Kia mātau te ākonga e raranga papanga ana, e whakamahi waikano ana ō tātou tūpuna mō ngā rautau maha.
I te taenga mai o ō tātou tūpuna ki Aotearoa he mea hanga ngā kākahu i mau i taua wā ki te papanga tapa i hangaia ki te tangai o te rākau aute. He whenua makariri rawa a Aotearoa mō te whakatipu rākau aute, nō reira ka āta whakaaro ō tātou tūpuna me pēhea te hanga i ngā kākahu hou. I whakamahia e rātou te harakeke hei hanga piupiu me ngā kahu.

He mea hoahoa ētahi kahu kia aukati wai me te whakarere i te ua; i pērā te mārō o ētahi atu, ka taea te ārai i te kōkō huata; engari mā te rangatira anake ētahi atu, ā, kua whai korohunga tāniko whaikano.

Te tiaki i ā tātou taonga
Neke atu i te 250 tau te tawhito o ētahi kahu. Nā te tawhito rawa kua kōtihetihe te muka i roto, ā, he mahi uaua te neke kei pakaru. Nā te tawhito haere o te muka me tā te muka whakanao i te waikawa winika tērā ka whakakongakonga i te muka te take i pērā ai. Kua tūtaki kē koe i te waikawa winika. Koia te mea whakauru matua o te winika. He nui atu ngā waikano winika o ngā muka i whakapangotia mō te piupiu me te kahu tāniko, tēnā i ō te muka kāore i whākanotia. Ko te tikanga nei, ka tere atu te kongakonga haere o te muka pango i tō te muka kāore i whākanotia.
Ki tō whakaaro, he aha i hira ai kia tiaki tātou i ā tātou taonga mai i neherā?
Kei Te Papa Tongarewa e whakamātau ana ngā kaipenapena ki te rongoā i ēnei kahu hei ārai i te kongakonga haere. I mahi a Rangi Te Kanawa me te kohinga o ngā kahu ki te whakarite i ēnei mō tētahi whakaaturanga e kīia ana Kahu Ora – He mahi nā ō tātou tūpuna, hei pupuri mō ā tātou uri whakatupu.
