Imagery paints a thousand words

TE MAUNGA TARANAKI- na Mauritia

I see strength and war, love and peace
this Maunga that stood strong and proud
Lover of the whenua
Hater of the trouble

TE MAUNGA TARANAKI- na Lucy

The Maunga is standing proud. It is tall and majestic
The sun rises behind it and shines on the snowy peaks.
Te Maunga Taranaki will stand for many years- It tells the story of Parihaka.

TE MAUNGA TARANAKI- na Abel

The snow slowly crept down Taranaki like a graceful butterfly.
Trees shake around, dancing.
The sun slowly rise as the shadows race off. The wind calmy blows as dawn comes closer.
Taranaki- shines like a beacon of hope!

TE MAUNGA TARANAKI- na Jessie

It stands tall and proud.
It reminds people of war and Parihaka.
It is a peaceful place, bringing hope and love.
It stands tall in the mist with the sun beaming down on it.

Tribute from Prince Tui Teka for the 28th Māori Battalion

Te Karere- Māori Battalion

Tuini Ngawai- Arohaina Mai

Tuini Ngawai (1910 - 1965) was an awesome writer of beautiful songs. This song, Arohaina mai, was written in 1940 and is considered by many to be the greatest Māori song ever written. It is the unofficial hymn of the Maori Battalion. It is said that on her way home from a service for the C Battalion, held on the Waiparapare Marae at Tokomaru Bay, she sat down on the roadside to rest and the words came into her mind. This video is to honour Tuini and Te Hoko whitu a Tu; which toured New Zealand during the Second World War, performing and collecting funds for the Maori Battalion overseas.
