Mareikura
In a tapu mareikura state, my body nurtured your growth for 9 months. A
cherised but daunting responsibility for the manifestation of your whakapapa
lines into the human form. The beating of your heart, the warmth of your little body
growing. We planned your arrival into the whānau with intention and purpose, reclaiming the old ways. A vision to provide your safe passage into this
modern world embraced by our Māori practices. Tihei mauri ora. The sacred
wonder of new life as you took your first breath. A physical transformation
connected to our Atua.
Te Tapu me te mana o tenei mokopuna.
Honouring mokopuna
WhatukuraA mokopuna blends into our home . . . What cultural understanding and practices graced his entry into this world of the living . . . Did love sing his lullaby? In what form did whakapapa caress and cup him to their hearts . . . How did circumstances surrounding his birth impact on mana acquired from his ancestors? . . . who hears him, listens to him , understands him and acts on the depth of his vulnerable voice? Did he feel his cultural tongue lay down a known world while in the womb? And who bears the burden of securing his sense of mana?

Maori theoretical understandings of violence/trauma
Dynamics of Whanaungatanga (DOW)
“Abuse is a violation of ones tapu. It is a perpetration or an act ofviolence referred to in Maori as a ‘hara’ which subjects the victim to astate of ‘noa’ or tapu restriction. The concept of noa depicts a personbeing in the state or absence of mana, that is having no power toeffect change… abuse is a violation against the victim, the perpetratorand both of their whanau collectives. The effects of the violation andprolonged state of noa make them vulnerable to further abuse andviolent behaviour themselves. The prolonged state of noa is called‘whakama’… in this sense whakama refers to the symptoms ofprolonged unaddressed abuse (an externalisation of the victims hurtemotions and a subconscious plea for help to be cleansed from theviolation of their tapu. The manner in which to restore violations oftapu is held within the practice of ‘hohourongo’, hohou (to enter)rongo (peace).
