Beskrivning

A lifetime of insights on Maori dance arts told in te reo Maori by one of our luminaries in this field. Sir Timoti Karetu is one of the country's chief exponents of te reo Maori from leading the Maori Language Commission to producing a new generation of language experts through his teaching at Te Panekiretanga o te Reo Maori. He is also an unrivalled creator of waiata and haka, composing songs and judging at Te Matatini and other events. In this book, Sir Timoti shares his extensive experience in the artforms of haka and waiata from Maori songs of the two world wars to the rise of kapa haka competitions, from love songs to action songs, from Sir Apirana Ngata to Te Puea Herangi, and from Te Matatini to contemporary hui on marae. Throughout the book, he draws on exemplars of Maori song and haka, explaining form and meanings, maintaining his stance that Lyric is Paramount! Written in exemplary te reo Maori, Matamua ko te Kupu! will become a taonga of Maori knowledge and language.

Mer om författaren

I whanau mai a Timoti Sam Karetu i te tau 1937. He mea whangai ia e Mauwhare raua ko Tame hei tamaiti ma raua. Ko Waikaremoana te kainga i tipu ake ai a Timoti, a taitama rawa ake, katahi ia ka kuraina ki te Kareti o Te Whanga-nui-a-Tara i te tau 1952 ki te tau 1956. No konei, ka rongo ia i tona ngakaunui ki te ako i te reo Pakeha, tae atu ano hoki ki te reo Wiwi me te reo Tiamana.I te tau 1959, ka whakawhiwhia ki a Timoti te Tohu Paetahi e Te Whare Wananga o Wikitoria, a, ka pau te rua tau ona e whakaako ana ki Te Kura Tuarua o Taumarunui, ka whakawhiti a Timoti ki Ingarangi, ki te Komihana Teitei o Aotearoa. Nona i reira, ka whakaturia te kapa haka o Ngati Ranana kua eke tonu nei ki tona 60 tau.1972 te tau ka tu ia hei Ahorangi tuatahi mo te Tari Maori o Te WhareWananga o Waikato. I taua wa, ka eke tana kapa haka, a Te Whare Wananga o Waikato, ki nga taumata toa i nga whakataetae a-rohe, a-motu ano hoki. I whakaputaina hoki tana pukapuka, a Te Reo Rangatira, e whakamahia tonutia ana e nga kaiako huri i te motu.Nawai, ka karangatia ia hei Toihau, hei Tiamana tuatahi mo Te Taura Whiri i te Reo Maori. Ko etahi o a ratou mahi, ko te whakatu i nga Kura Reo, ko te waihanga kupu hou, ko te tapa ingoa Maori mo nga tari kawanatanga, ko te whakaputa i ta ratou nupepa, i a He Muka, ko te kokiri hoki kia tu Te Tau o Te Reo Maori i te tau 1995. I taua wa ano, ka noho a Timoti hei Tiamana mo nga whakataetae kapa haka a-motu e kiia nei inaianei, ko Te Matatini, a, ka puta tana pukapuka, a Haka - he tohu whenua rangatira e whakaahua ana i nga momo haka a te Maori. Mai i te tau 1999 ki te tau 2019, ka noho a Timoti hei mema, hei Tiamana hoki mo te poari o Te Kohanga Reo. I te tau 2003, i raro i te maru o Te Wananga o Aotearoa, ko Timoti te kaitarai i te waka o Te Panekiretanga o Te Reo, ko ona hoa hautu ko Takuta Wharehuia Milroy raua ko Ahorangi Pou Temara. E rua ona tohu kairangi honore na Te Whare Wananga o Wikitoria me Te Whare Wananga o Waikato i tuku.E hia ke nei nga pukapuka i whai wahi atu ai ia hei kaituhi ranei, hei kanohi homiromiro ranei, hei kaupapa tonu ranei. Kua roa ia e tonoa ana e nga iwi o Aotearoa, o te ao whanui hoki ki te kauhau i ona tohungatanga i te reo.He maha nga waiata me nga haka kua titoa e ia ma nga kapa toa o Te Matatini, ka mutu, no te tau 2019, ka riro nana i whakamaori nga waiata rongonui o Aotearoa i enei wa.He mea whakawhiwhi a Timoti ki nga tohu huhua mo ana mahi whakarewa i te kairangi o te reo, tae atu ki te tohua ona hei Ta i te tau 2017. Ko tetahi o ona tino mangari ko tana noho i te taha o nga kaumatua tino matau ki te reo me nga tikanga Maori, tae atu ki te haka, penei i a Te Rangihau, i a Ngoingoi Pewhairangi, i a Hamuera Mitchell, i a Miria Simpson, i a Matutaera Ihaka, i a Mate Kaiwai, me te momo i a ratou.Dr Sir Timoti Karetu QSO, KNZM (Ngai Tuhoe, Ngati Kahungunu) has been a key driving force for literature in te reo Maori as well as Maori language education for more than 60 years.
