W.A.L.T: Learning to understand Karanga and make protocol
Karanga-call
- Can only be given by woman
- A welcome to pull the “Manuhiri-visitors” onto the marae
- A continuous call, many in the form of three calls, from both visitors and woman doing the Karanga
My Karanga
Nau mai !, haere mai ki konei tamariki o Glenbrae, hoa, manuhiri ki tenei wahi wairua
Welcome!, come here kids of Glenbrae, friends, guests to this spiritual place
Ka tonoa e matou to matou aroha me te awhi ia koe me o matou ringa tuwhera
We send our love and welcome you with our open arms
Haere mai, haere mai!
Come here, come here!
