Ko Te Kooti
Te Turuki Rikirangi tetahi o nga maunga teitei o te wa - he kokorangi i nga ra pouri, he tokotoko i te awa
kopaka. I tu ia hei toa i te whare o Tumatauenga, engari ki te Hahi Ringatu, he
poropiti - he matakite nana i hapai nga moemoea, nga
tumanako, me nga wairua o te iwi i nga tau o te ngarohanga: te whenua, te
oranga, te mana motuhake.
I tona ringa
matau te pu me te riri, i tona ringa maui te whakapono, nga kupu whakaari, me
te tohu rangimarie. Na Te Kooti i hora atu enei kupu ki nga marae o te motu,
hei karere poropiti, hei tohu whakatupato, hei maramatanga mo nga uri
whakatipu. He kupu e korero ana ki te manawa, ki te wairua, ki te whenua.
Ko tenei
pukapuka na Ta Pou Temara - he mema o te Kaunihera
Tekau ma Rua a te Kuini, he ahorangi, he tohunga mo te kupu, mo te whakaaro
Maori. Ka wanangahia e ia nga korero a Te Kooti: nga whakakitenga i tukuna ki
nga marae, nga waiata i tuhia hei huna i te mohiotanga, nga korero i poipoia i
raro i te maru o te atua. Ka panuitia, ka wetewetehia, ka uia: kua tutuki ranei
nga kupu a Te Kooti? Kei te ora tonu ranei i enei ra?
Ko nga
whakaaro o Ta Pou i ahu mai i nga korero tuku iho o Te Whanau-a-Apanui, o Te
Arawa, o Ngai Tuhoe - nga iwi i whakatupu i tona ngakau kia mohio ai
ki te ha o te kupu, ki te wairua o te whakapono, ki te tapu o te korero tuku
iho. Na kona, ka rere mai tenei pukapuka hei puna matauranga mo te hunga e kimi
ana i te maramatanga ki te Hahi Ringatu, ki te poropititanga Maori, ki te reo,
ki te hitori o te motu - mai i te
uma o nga marae, mai i nga whakapono o nga tipuna, mai i te kore ki te ao
marama.
Te Kooti Te Turuki Rikirangi stands as a towering
figure of his time - a storm in dark days, a staff for those adrift. A warrior
in the house of Tumatauenga, yet to the Ringatu Church, a prophet - one who
carried the dreams, hopes and spirit of the iwi through years of loss: land,
life and sovereignty.
In his right hand, the gun of battle; in his left,
the word of God. Te Kooti spread these words across the marae of the motu; a
messenger, a guide, a beacon of understanding for generations to come. His
words speak to the heart, to the spirit, to the land.
This book, by Ta Pou Temara - a member of the Maori
Queen's Council of Twelve, a professor, and a tohunga of Maori language and
thought - offers a deep exploration in te reo Maori of Te Kooti's prophetic
messages: his visions, teachings and songs. Through these pages, Ta Pou asks:
have Te Kooti's words been fulfilled? Do they still live today?
Ta Pou's insights, grounded in the ancestral
knowledge of Te Whanau-a-Apanui, Te Arawa and Ngai Tuhoe, illuminate the
essence of the word, the spirit of belief and the sacredness of tradition. This
book is a rich source of knowledge for those seeking understanding of the
Ringatu faith, Maori prophecy, the Maori language and the history of the land -
from the heart of the marae, from the wisdom of ancestors, from the shadows to
the light.
