Nau mai ki Te Hauhunga Aotearoa

E tukuna ana e Te Hauhunga Aotearoa tētahi wheako o te mātai kōpaka me te mātauranga Māori, he mea whakarite nā Inspiring Girls Expeditions, ā, he mea manaaki nā Te Puna Pātiotio i Te Herenga Waka. E wawatahia ana e mātou ka whakaohooho tēnei wheako i te wana, i te whakauru, i te whakamana hoki i te wahine i ngā tūmomo mahi mātai, mahi toi me ngā mahi tūhura koraha. E taunaki ana tēnei hōtaka i ngā tauira kua tohua he wahine, inarā te hunga o te whakapapa Māori me Te Moana-nui-a-Kiwa. 

Ko Te Hauhunga Aotearoa te ingoa Māori mō Girls on Ice Aotearoa (GOIA). Ko ‘the’ te tikanga o ‘te’, ā, he maha ngā tikanga mō ‘hauhunga’ e whakapuaki katoa ana i te ngako o te hōtaka GOIA me ana tāngata. E taea ana e te kupu ‘Hauhunga’ te tikanga mō te ‘frost’, te ‘frosty’ rānei, he tohu tērā ki te nui o te wāhi ki te tio i ngā pahī. , ka taea anō hoki te tikanga mō te momo pounamu he kōmā tōna āhua. Pēnei i te pounamu, he taonga, he puipuiaki rānei ā mātou tauira. Ka mutu, ka taea te kupu ‘hauhunga’ te wetewete ki ngā kupu waehanga e rua: Ko te mauri me te ora te tikanga o te kupu ‘hau’, ā, ko tētahi rōpū te tikanga mō te kupu ‘hunga’ – I te huihuinga o ēnei kupu e mea ana he ‘he rōpū ora’, he whakamahuki pai mō ō mātou rōpū pahī.Heoi anō, e haria ana e te ingoa Te Hauhunga te uara o ō mātou tauira i a rātou e tupu ana i te māia me te ora nō rātou e toroto ana i ngā whaitua kōpaka o Aotearoa. I hangā te ingoa Te Hauhunga e Tākuta Meegan Hall rāua ko Ahorangi Rawinia Higgins i Te Herenga Waka 

* E tohu ana te kupu ‘wahine’ i ngā tauira kua tohua he wahine, te ira weherua-kore, ira herekore hoki. 

Torona ngā kōpaka ahurei o Aotearoa

E tāwhawhe ana ngā kōpaka o Ruapehu i te tihi ahi tupua teitei katoa o Te Ika a Māui . Ko te rua e pehu ana te tikanga o te ingoa Ruapehu. Ka toro atu tēnei pahī o Te Hauhunga ki roto i te pokapū pararahi whakaekea ai tēnei maunga tuauri. 

E whakāria ana e Aotearoa ngā kitenga ātaahua rirerire, ngā pūnaha hauropi kanorau, ngā āheinga mutunga kore mō te tūhurahura hoki. Ka ākona e te rōpū o atu i te tekau ngā wahine te hurihanga motukore o ngā kōpaka i runga i a Ruapehu, te whakauru i ngā mahi ā-takiwā, te uru hoki tētahi ahurea Māori rangapū motuhake. Ka mahi ngātahi mātou kia whakaritea ai tētahi wheako ngākaupai me tētahi whakaakoako pai mō ngā kaiārahi me ngā tauira anō hoki, e whakawhanake ana i ō mātou mātauranga mō te whenua me te whakawhanungatanga oranga roa.
