Kāore he take e wehi ai i ngā papa hanga whaiti! Mā tōna pūkenga tango uta ka taea te piko ki te taha, ka kore e raru te "huri whakamuri ki te tūranga" mō te tango uta.

E mōhio ana ngā taraiwa taraka mātau katoa kua mahi i ngā papa hangahanga: he uaua ake te tango i te taraka i te uta. He kuiti ngā papa, he iti te wāhi whakamuri, he koretake ngā mata o te rori… he moemoeā kino ēnei āhuatanga mō ngā taraiwa taraka tuku iho.

Heoi, i whānau mai te wakatō-haurua taha hei whakaoti i tēnei raruraru. He iti noa te wāhi e hiahiatia ana mō tana tikanga tango utanga. Kāore e hiahiatia he tawhiti whakamuri roa - me tū noa, ā, ka taea e koe te tango utanga i roto i te wā poto. He ngāwari te urutau ki ngā papa hanga whaiti, ki ngā puranga taonga i te taha o te rori, tae atu ki ngā papa ngāwari kāore he papa tango utanga motuhake.

E mārama ana mātou kāore te ngāwari e rite ki te ngoikore. He mea hanga te anga o tēnei wakatō ki te maitai kaha-teitei me te hoahoa ārai-hurihuri, kia mau tonu ai te waka me te pono i te wā e hiki ana, e tango ana hoki. Ahakoa i runga i te whenua paku pari, ka whakamanahia e te mahi whakataurite aunoa a te pūnaha waipēhi te haumaru o te mahi. He mea hanga te papa o te pouaka utanga ki ngā pereti maitai ātete-kakahu, e wātea ana i roto i ngā matotoru ka taea te whakarite, ka tino kaha ki te tu atu i te pānga o ngā rauemi mārō pēnei i te konganuku me te kirikiri.

Mō ngā rangatira pakihi e mahi ana i te hanganga hanganga, te kawe kohuke, te kawe utanga nui rānei, ko te kaha ki te urutau ki ngā āhuatanga mahi maha atu ka hua ake he nui ake ngā ota. Mā tēnei koha taha, ka taea e koe te mahi ngāwari i ngā mahi kāore e taea e ētahi atu te uru atu, te tango rānei i ngā taonga, ka whiwhi painga whakataetae.

Kōwhiria, ā, tukua tō waka kia poroporoaki ki te "manukanuka o te papaanga", kia tutuki ai te wetewete i ngā whenua katoa. Mā te urutau nui ake, wetekina he mākete whānui ake!
