Ko Kā Uri te tomokanga ki te Hiku o te ika. I konei noa ka whakanuia, ā, whakairohia hoki ko wai mātau, ā ka mutu, he mea tuari atu i ēnei mātauranga ki ngā manuhiri o te ao. Ko te manako nui o te iwi nei, ka mārama ai te makihua tāngata ki ngā mea whakahirahira rawa o te rohe nei.
Kā Uri is the gateway to the Far North. It is where we celebrate and record who we are, and where we share this understanding with visitors from all around the world. It is our hope that all those that connect with us, understand the significance of this region and its many layers.
Ka Uri is the kaupapa of Ngāti Kuri.
Ngāti Kuri are descended from the original inhabitants, the founding peoples of the northernmost peninsula of Aotearoa, in Te Hiku o Te Ika. These peoples, also known as Te Iwi o Te Ngaki, were already occupying Te Hiku o Te Ika before the many migratory waka from Polynesia arrived. Their ancestor was Ruatamore.
Ngāti Kuri also trace their whakapapa to the Kurahaupo waka which first made landfall in Ngāti Kuri’s rohe at Rangitahua, the Kermadec Islands.
The Ngāti Kuri ancestors of ancient times laid the foundation for Ngā Uri, their descendants, as expressed in the following whakatauki:
Ko takoto kē ngā kōrero a ngā mātua mo te whenua
The foundation of manawhenua was set by the ancestors of ancient times. These ancestral linkages affirm Ngāti Kuri as tangata whenua.
The mana and the rangatiratanga of Ngāti Kuri extends throughout its rohe over all the whenua and the adjacent moana. The Ngāti Kuri rohe is generally described as north of a line from Maunga Tohoroha (Mt Camel) in the east to Hukatere in the west and extending north-west to Motuapao, across to Te Rerenga Wairua and then east to Murimotu and including the islands of Manawatawhi (the Three Kings) and Rangitahua (the Keremadecs).
Te Tini Rerenga, o Hia Mano
Ko te Ara Whānui to matou tirohanga, hei whakatö i te kotahitanga me ngã tümanako o Ngāti Kuri. Koia tenei ko ngã hononga ki nga körero tuku iho a o tatou mâtua tüpuna.
Ko te ingoa Te Ara Whanui, e tohu ana i ngã ara tütaki huhua huri noa te kotiu o Te Hiku o Te Ika. Ko tã te waka kaupapa he whakaemiemi i ngã huarahi. He aria tênei e tohu ana i tô tatou haerenga mai i onamata ki tua, me ngã tini hononga o te katoa o ngã mea ora. Ko tã te waka and he tohu i te hirahiratanga o to tâtou hononga me ngã haepapa ki te taiao. Hei ko tâna and, kia kotahi tātou me te mahara ake, me kaha te tü e rereke ai, ã, e motuhake ai to tâtou tuakiritanga i te Ao Mãori me te Ao Whanui.
Te Ara Whānui
Many Paths, Many Aspirations
Te Ara Whänui is our vision. It is the blueprint that sets a unified direction for the aspirations of Ngäti Kuri, underpinned by our history and the connections established by our ancestors.
The name, Te Ara Whānui, refers to the many pathways of encounter that spread across the Far North. The pathways are drawn together by a waka (canoe) – a representation of our journey through time, and a reminder of the interconnection of all living things.
The waka signifies the importance of our relationship and responsibilities to the natural world. It unifies and reminds us of the collective effort required to retain and strengthen those elements that distinguish and determine our cultural identity and well-being.
