Karakia, Waiata, Karakia mō te Kai

Tautoko Tāne Aotearoa has created the following Karakia and Waiata to be used by our people as relevant in opening and closing Hui (meetings), Korero (conversations), and blessing the Kai presented at gatherings of our people.

These karakia were thoughtfully composed by Tony Chamberlain (Pou Whakahaere, Tautoko Tāne Aotearoa) with our New Zealand survivor community in mind, and carefully translated by Te Ingo Ngaia, Ngati Porou, Te Arawa, Waikato-Maniapoto and Taranaki nui tonu (Kaiako, Wananga o Aotearoa).
