My whakapapa saved my life

“Whakapapa is everywhere…It is integral to identity, implicated inunderstandings of past, present and future, incorporating all time,interwoven with understandings of place, and utilised in political practice.Yet it seems to escape any singular definition.”(Kelly, S. Weaving Whakapapa and narrative in the management of contemporary Ngai Tahuidentities, 2002:28)

Manuhou Paringatai

Manuhou mate atu, Manuhou hoki mai

Nau mai Manuhou Come hither Manuhou

kia mihi atu au so that I can greet you

I haere mai koe You who have come

i te kunenga mai o te tangata from the source of man

te toi ki Hawaiki from Hawaiki

ki te whai ao, ki te ao marama to emerge in to the world of light

E taku Manuhou, My Manuhou

hara mai rā I bid you welcome

He uri whakaheke koe You are a descendant

nō te rohe, nō te waka Mātaatua from the area defined by the Mātaatua waka

Nā Porourangi koe You are also of Porourangi

Nā te aroha Created out of love
