Learning the Ngai Takoto Whakatauki

Ngai Takoto Whakatauki: He iti marangai, tu ana te pahukahuka, He iti pioke no Rangaunu he au tona.
Small although the pioke may be, great is it's wake as it traverses the might of the Rangaunu Harbour.

Tuakana/Teina
One of our goals in Te Kakano was to learn the Ngai Takoto whakatauki, which is a saying from our local Ngai Takoto iwi. We could not have done this without the expert help from Te Manga students who helped us practise the words and actions. Kia ora koutou Te Manga! Ka pai to mahi!









                                           
Now we say the whakatauki everyday as part of our morning routine.
