Book ilu   whakatauki

Download or read book ilu whakatauki written by Oli Ogbonna and published by OLILEANYA OGBONNA. This book was released on 2021-05-09 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This piece is done as part of my quest to train our kids to appreciate the right values using elements in diverse cultures particularly those of my parents (Igbo) and those of tangata whenua (Maori) - the land where we now reside. Parents have a role to train their children. This involves inculcating certain values in the children. Language is a basic tool for communicating concepts and thoughts. Different elements are available in the use of language irrespective of nativity. Proverbs referred to in Te reo as ‘whakatauki’ and in Igbo language as ‘ilu’ are a well-used tool to pass on information. The Igbos have a statement that “Ilu bu mmanu eji eri okwu”. That statement means that proverbs are the sauce used to consume / eat words or discourse. The proverb is set in the context of food (kai) and feeding. While children can be said to learn better with visual communication of the message being passed across, using proverbs helps in passing across an instruction, moral or standard. In this book and the ensuing series, my daughters and I will explore the use of whakatauki, as well as ilu to describe situations and proffer solutions and suggestions. We will look at various whakatauki (ilu / proverbs) and seek to use experiences that children will find easy to identify with.

Book excerpt: "This extraordinary collection of Hawaiian sayings--collected, translated, and annotated by Mary Kawena Pukui--offers a unique opportunity to savor the wisdom, poetic beauty, and earthy humor of these finely crafted expressions. The sayings may be appreciated individually and collectively for their aesthetic, historic, and educational values. They reveal even deeper layers of meaning, giving understanding not only of Hawaii and its people but all of humanity. Since the sayings carry the immediacy of the spoken word, considered to be the highest form of cultural expression in old Hawaii, they bring us closer to the everyday thoughts and lives of the Hawaiians who created them. Taken together, the sayings offer a basis for an understanding of the essence and origins of traditional Hawaiian values." -- Amazon.com viewed August 3, 2020.

Book Tahuhu Korero

Download or read book Tahuhu Korero written by Merata Kawharu and published by Auckland University Press. This book was released on 2013-10-01 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tahuhu Korero is a collection of pepeha and whakatauki - Maori proverbs and sayings - from the Taitokerau region, which stretches from Auckland to Cape Reinga. Pepeha and the longer whakatauki are passed down the generations to capture key moments in history, important places and celebrated ancestors. They are also powerful metaphors for human behaviour. Tahuhu Korero presents nearly 200 proverbs from the North in Maori, with translations into English, and explains the origin and meaning of each saying. By elucidating people, places and events as well as the broader meanings of particular pepeha, Tahuhu Korero reveals the wisdom of the ancestors. It features historical paintings and spectacular new photographs of the people and places of the North. From this combination of proverbs, history and images emerges a rich and accessible introduction to the people and the land of the Taikokerau.

Book Mauri Ora

  • Author : Peter Alsop
  • Publisher :
  • Release : 2016-10
  • ISBN : 9780947503147
  • Pages : 156 pages

Download or read book Mauri Ora written by Peter Alsop and published by . This book was released on 2016-10 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pearls of wisdom contained in proverbs - whakatauk-I - have been gifted from generation to generation as an intrinsic part of the M-aori world. As powerful metaphors, they combine analogy and cultural history in the most economical of words. Short and insightful, they surprise, engendering reflection, learning and personal growth. Mauri Ora links whakatauk-I to key personal virtues idealised across cultures and generations. The virtues - wisdom, courage, compassion, integrity, self-mastery and belief - stem from the science of positive psychology; the study of how to live a better life. Illustrated throughout with wonderful photographs from an old world, this book draws on traditional wisdom to provide a recipe for personal effectiveness and leadership, and a rewarding connection of M-aori knowledge to contemporary thinking about personal happiness and fulfilment.

Book Two Worlds

  • Author : Anne Salmond
  • Publisher : University of Hawaii Press
  • Release : 1992-01-01
  • ISBN : 9780824817657
  • Pages : 488 pages

Download or read book Two Worlds written by Anne Salmond and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 1992-01-01 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two Worlds is a penetrating rethinking of that view. Drawing on local tribal knowledge as well as European accounts, Anne Salmond shows those first meetings in a new light. Both Maori and European protagonists were active, all fully human, following their own practical, political and mythological agendas, 'quite unlike those of their modern-day descendants in many ways'. The result is a work of trail-blazing significance in which many popular misconceptions and bigotries to do with common perceptions of traditional Maori society are revealed. It also opens up new possibilities in the international study of European exploration and 'discovery'.

  • Pages : 1009 pages

Download or read book The Treaty of Waitangi written by Claudia Orange and published by Bridget Williams Books. This book was released on 2015-12-21 with total page 1009 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Treaty of Waitangi was signed in 1840 by over 500 chiefs, and by William Hobson, representing the British Crown. To the British it was the means by which they gained sovereignty over New Zealand. But to Maori people it had a very different significance, and they are still affected by the terms of the Treaty, often adversely.The Treaty of Waitangi, the first comprehensive study of the Treaty, deals with its place in New Zealand history from its making to the present day. The story covers the several Treaty signings and the substantial differences between Maori and English texts; the debate over interpretation of land rights and the actions of settler governments determined to circumvent Treaty guarantees; the wars of sovereignty in the 1860s and the longstanding Maori struggle to secure a degree of autonomy and control over resources." --Publisher.
