Tāne’s Gift of the Forest

Tāne planted the great forests and entrusted their care to humankind, warnihonoringto take only what was needed and to replenish what was used.

He sent the birds to teach people balance, showing them how each creature contributed to the wellbeing of the environment.

When people acted as kaitiaki (guardians), the land thrived; when they were careless, the land suffered.

Moral: Guardianship of the land ensures that future generations can thrive, honoring the gifts of nature.

Māui and the Sacred Fire

Māui, a legendary hero, sought to bring fire to the people from Mahuika, the Atua of fire. Māui approached Mahuika with respect for her mana, acknowledging her as the keeper of sacred power. Through wit and humility, he earned her trust, receiving the secret of fire to share with humankind. This act elevated Māui's mana and showed the importance of respecting authority while using power for the greater good.

Moral: Recognise and honour the mana of others while wielding authority with responsibility and integrity.

With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.

This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Do you think this ban is reasonable?

Tāwhirimātea and the Rescued Tītī Birds


In a time of great storms, Tāwhirimātea, Atua of winds and weather, saw the little tītī (muttonbirds) struggling against fierce gales that had scattered their flock. Though known for his ferocity, Tāwhirimātea felt aroha for the vulnerable birds. He calmed the winds and guided the tītī to shelter, teaching the Atua of the forest, Tāne, how to protect them with his trees. The birds thrived, and in gratitude, they became a source of sustenance and companionship for the people.

Moral: True power lies in compassion, and by caring for others, we create harmony in our world.
