He Paki Taonga i a Māui

He tino taonga te pukapuka nei me te huhua o ngā kōrero kei roto hei hikohiko i te kaipānui. He kōrero pūrākau ētehi, pēnei i te whawhai a ngā manu; he hītori ētehi pēnei mō Huria Matenga, ā kei reira hoki he kōrero o ēnei rā, i ngā mahi a Willie Apiata. Kua herea ia kōrero ki tētehi taonga o Te Papa Tongarewa, hei kanohi, hei matau hoki.

Ko tētehi tino hua o te pukapuka nei te haupūtanga o ngā kōrero maha, o ngā whakaāhua maha hoki ki te pukapuka kotahi. Kāre e kore he kōrero hei whakaihi i tēnā, i tēnā nā te huhua. He kohinga whakaāhua huatau hoki me te mahi a ngā ringatoi i whakanikoniko ai i ngā tuhinga kia haumako ai - hei kai reka mā te kanohi. Kāre i ārikarika te toi kua riringihia ki roto i tēnei taonga.

He ngāwari te pānui i ngā tuhinga nei, he māmā te reo me te ruarua hoki o ngā kupu hōu i kimi ai mātou, otirā he pai mā ngā tamariki, mā ngā mātua hoki kia mārama tere.

Kua waimārie tātou i te tānga o tēnei pukapuka ātaahua hei pātaka kōrero mā te iti me te rahi.
