Wiwhitu Temara

Ko Tararua me Maungapōhatu ngā maunga
Ko Hokio me Ōhinemataroa ngā awa
Ko Tainui me Mataatua ngā waka
Ko Ngāti Raukawa me Ngāi Tūhoe ngā iwi
Ko Tamahou tōku pāpa
Ko Tracey tōku māma
Ko Wiwhitu Temara ahau

I kōwhiria e au tōku pūtātara hei taonga motuhake mōku. Ko Hikitia tōna ingoa, he taonga pūoro. He mea hanga nā tōku pāpa.

For my taonga (treasure), I chose my pūtātara. It’s called Hikitia, which means ‘to lift up’. It’s a musical instrument. My dad made it for me.

 

Tai Renner

Ko Whakapūnake te maunga
Ko Te Wairoa te awa

Ko Ngāti Kahungunu te iwi
Ko Whakirangi tōku marae
Ko Tim tōku pāpa
Ko Katrina tōku māma

He taonga tēnei nō te mea, kei roto i tēnei pukapuka ngā whakaahua o tōku whānau. He taonga motuhake ki a au. He nui ōna kara.

For my taonga, I chose my book because it has photos of my family in it, and it’s very special to me. It’s all sorts of colours.

He tino taonga taku māpihi pounamu. He tānga manawa, he hokinga mahara, taku taonga pounamu.

I chose my pounamu necklace as my taonga (treasure). It has a lot of memories, and it means a lot to me.

Ko Taranaki te maunga

Ko Kairau tōku marae

He tino taonga tēnei rei niho ki a au. I ahu mai i ngā tūpuna o tōku māma, he kaipatu wēra rātou i Te Tauihu-te-Waka-a-Māui.

For my taonga, I chose my whale’s tooth necklace because it’s interesting. It came from my mum’s ancestors, who were whalers in the Marlborough Sounds.
