He Pātaka Kupu – te kai a te rangatira
Te Papakupu Reo Māori
Kōrero Onamata
I puta ngā whakaaro ōmana mō te papakupu i ngā tau tōmua o 1990, i te wā i kōrerorero ai a Timoti Karetu (te Toihau o Te Taura Whiri i te Reo Māori i taua wā) ki te maha o ngā tāngata, tae noa ki ētahi kaumātua, me ētahi mātanga kohikohi kupu.
I tīmataria te tūmahi papakupu reo Māori anake i te tau 1999 nā runga i te māharahara mō te heke o te rahi o ngā kaikōrero i te reo Māori me te heke o te hōrapa whānui o ngā kupu reo Māori. I kitea te papakupu hei pūranga tāpua whai i ngā kohinga kupu o te reo Māori, i runga i te whakamahinga hangarau hei pupuri pai, hei tautoko hoki i tōna nohoanga mārika.
Nō te tau 2001, i tīmata ai tētahi kāhui kaituhi ki te waihanga i te papakupu, ā, tae noa ki tōna otinga i te marama o Paengawhāwhā 2008.
Kāore e tino kitea ana te tere whakaotinga o tētahi tūmahi pēnei rawa te nui (he papakupu whai urunga tuhi 24,000) i roto i te wā e ono, e whitu rānei ngā tau. Tekau mā rua ngā tau kē te roa mō te hanganga o te nuinga o ngā papakupu whai kupu 12,000 te nui.
Ko He Pātaka Kupu - te kai a te rangatira te ingoa kua tapaina ki tēnei papakupu.
Kupu Whakataki
Ka whakatutuki a He Pātaka Kupu i te tino hiahia mō ngā rauemi reo Māori mō ngā ao rumaki reo Māori. Ka whai tēnei i te putanga o te papakupu mō ngā ākonga Wharekura, i te tau 2001, arā a Tirohia, Kimihia.
I heipū tonu te huri ki tētahi papakupu Māori anake i te ngaronga motuhake o ngā kaumātua reo taketake me te kaha puta o te hunga pakeke e kaha ana ki te whakamahi i te reo Māori.
He mea hou ki Aotearoa te mahi waihanga i a He Pātaka Kupu, he mea ahurei hoki, huri noa i te ao. I runga i tōna āhua hei tūmahi, ko te whāinga pū, ko te whakaora anō i ngā wāhi reo Māori ki waenga i ngā momo karangatanga rōpū o te hapori Māori.
I waihangatia a He Pātaka Kupu hei urupare i te hiahia kia:
1. hopukina te hōhonutanga, te whānuitanga, me te pūmanawatanga o te reo Māori e noho ana i te hapori Māori;
2. hopukina, kia kohia hoki ngā pārongo reo Māori e wātea tonu ana, engari e noho mōrea ana kei ngaro ā-moa nei;
3. tautokona te tipu o ngā akoranga reo Māori, tae hāngai atu ki ngā mahi whakaora i te reo, ngā mahi wetereo me te hanga papakupu Māori;
4. whakatōpūtia ngā rauemi tangata me ngā huarahi mō te tipu tonu o te reo ki ngā rohe me te motu whānui;
5. tautokona ngā kura rumaki me ngā wānanga mātauranga mō ngā tauira me ngā pakeke.
