AWHEA ANO HE PIHOPA MO TE MAORI?

KANUI te hiahia o Te Toa Takitini kia tuhituhi mai nga tangata marama mo tenei take, kia waiho ai hei take whiriwhiri ma o tatou hapu katoa. Kua maha rawa nga tau o tenei take e korerotia ana, engari he korero noaiho, kaore ano kia kokiritia kite aroaro o tetahi huihuinga whai mana hei ata whakahaere i tenei take. He maha tonu nga pakeha whai-whakaaro kite iwi Maori e mea ana tena e kaha ke alu te tipu o te whakapono i roto i te iwi Maori, mehemea ka lukuna atu kite iwi Maori te mana whakahaere i tona Hahi. Kaore he whakaaro penei kia wehe mai tatou i te Hahi o Nhi, Tireni. Engari kia kiia tatou he Hahi motuhake, he Hahi tamahine na te Hahi, na te Hahi o Ingarangi, kia riro ma tatou ma te iwi e whakahaere nga take katoa e pa an ki to tatou Hahi. Mehemea ka tirohia e tatou nga whakahaere o era atu iwi o te ao, ka marama tatou kite tikanga o te kupu nei “ Hahi Motuhake.” Ka tae nga kai-kauwhau pakeha o te Rongo-pai ki Haina, ki Inia, kia Tiapana, ka mahi nui ratou, a he maha nga tau ka huri etahi wahanga nui o aua iwi kite whakapono. Inaianei kua tu etahi Hainamana hei Pihopa, a kua takoto hoki te kaupapa mo to ratou Hahi. Kua whakakotahitia te Hahi, kua kiif ko te Hahi o Haina. Kua kore i whakaaetia kia maha nga Hahi, penei me tatou i Nui Tireni nei. He mea karanga he hui nui o nga Hahi i Haina, kite whiriwhiri i nga kaupapa e taea ai te whakakotahi o nga Hahi Kua tu nga Pihopa Tiapani. Kua kite a Ngati Kahuhunu a Te Arawa i te Pihopa o Inia ara i a Pihopa Ataria. E torn hoki nga Pihopa mangumangu kei Awherika. Nui atu nga whakamihi mo te kaha o aua Pihopa, mo te marama kite whakatakoto whakaaro, kite whakahaere tikanga. Kaua tatou hei whai ko te honore o te ingoa nei “ Pihopa Maori.” Engari mehemea ma tenei tikanga e kaha ai te tipu o te whakapono i roto i te iwi Maori, kaati me mahi nui tatou mo tenei tikanga, me inoi hoki kia aratakina o tatou whakaaro e te Wairua o te Atua. He karanga pea tenei na te Atua i a tatou ite iwi Maori kia hikoi whakamua. Mehemea nona te reo, kaua tatou hei turi ki tana karanga.
