He aha tēnei? | What is this?

Ko te huringa 40 tau tēnei o Te Māori, te whakaaturanga taonga Māori whakahirahira i haere ki te Amerika, kātahi ka hoki mai ki Aotearoa. Tēnā te tai timu ka pao te tōrea ki te whakahaere i ngā tauoma takatā e rua hei whakapai ake i ngā kōrero ā-tuhi e hāngai ana ki te whakaaturanga.

E wātea mai nei ēnei tauoma takatā ki te hunga tauhou me te hunga mōhio ringa takatā mātāpunenga. Nāu kake mai mēnā e:

• Ngākau nui nei koe ki te toi Māori me Te Māori
• Hiahia nei koe ki te ako ki te whakamahi i te Wiki ki te kōrerorero paki mō Aotearoa
• Hiahia nei koe ki te whakatika ake i ngā pūkenga rangahau
• Hiahia nei koe ki te whakapai ake i ngā pūkenga tuhi kōrero
• Hiahia nei koe ki te karahuihui ki ētahi tāngata hou me te ako i ētahi mea hou

Ka hora mai he kai, ā, mēnā koe e kūare ana ki te kaupapa, e pai ana, hei reira anō te ringa āwhina.

This year is the 40th anniversary of Te Māori, the landmark exhibition of taonga Māori that travelled to the United States before returning home to Aotearoa. We’re taking this opportunity to hold two editathons to improve articles about and related to the exhibition.

These editathons are open to new and experienced Wikipedians. Come along if:

• You’re interested in Māori art and Te Māori
• You want to learn how to use Wiki to tell Aotearoa stories
• You want to improve your research skills
• You want to build your article writing skills
• You want to connect with new people and learn something new

Kai provided, and no experience necessary, support will be on hand.

Kaupapa

Ka tū ēnei huihuinga otirā kia tino whai huarahi mai e te hunga rangatahi ki ngā kōrero mō Te Māori. Ko te whāinga ia kia whai māramatanga anō rātou mō Te Māori kia kitea hoki tana hirahira me tana whai take tonu, me ana hononga e rere nei i roto i a ia.

Hei reira anō mātou ki te whakawhanake i ngā pūkenga mā te ako tahi tētahi ki tētahi. Inā noa atu ngā akoranga mā te hunga mōhio ringa takatā mātāpunenga, koia, whakawhitiwhiti whakaaro, anā hī!

Ka arotahia ko ngā kaupapa matua ka whakaritea mai e ngā uri Māori, hui tahi ki te Kāhui Kaitiaki, me ngā Kaimahi hoki o Te Papa.

Ka tonoa ngā Tāngata Tiriti ki te āwhina i ngā kaiuru Māori mā te tautoko i ā rātou whāinga.

These events are being held to make the kōrero around Te Māori more accessible, especially to rangatahi. We want to make it easy for them to understand its importance and ongoing relevance, and the relationships that run throughout it.

We’re also going to be there to build skills by learning from each other. Experienced Wikipedians still have plenty to learn, so share your whakaaro.

We’ll be focusing on the topics prioritised through Māori input, including Kāhui Kaitiaki and Kaimahi from Te Papa.

Tāngata Tiriti are asked to support Māori participants by supporting their goals.

Mō Te Māori | About Te Māori

Ko Te Māori te whakaaturanga tuatahi o te ao nāna te taonga i whakamana kia hira atu i tētahi hanga pūtaiao noa, e hāpai ana i tō te taonga taha wairua, taha toi hoki. I muri i ngā tini tau o te kōrerorero me te whakariterite, ka whakatuwherahia te whakaaturanga i te 10 o Hepetema, 1984, i te Met Museum ki te Āporo Nui.

Nō muri i tana hāereere ki St Louis, ki San Francisco, ki Chicago hoki, ka hoki mai ngā taonga ki Aotearoa, ka haere tonu te whakaaturanga Te Māori: Te Hokinga Mai. I tēnei āhua ōna ka torotoro haere ki Pōneke, ki Ōtautahi, ki Ōtepoti, ki Tāmaki Makaurau anō.

I huri ai ngā whakaaro o te Pākehā ki te nuinga o ngā taonga me te ao Māori nā te haurongo o te whakaaturanga puta noa i te ao, i whakaohooho nei i te whakarauoratanga o te ahurea Māori. I huri anō ai ngā tikanga whakahaere whare taonga nā te ū rawa o ngā uri Māori i te haerenga roatanga o te whakaaturanga, nā tēnei i āwhina te whanaketanga o Te Papa Tongarewa i ngā tau 1990.

Te Māori was the first major international exhibition that treated taonga as more than ethnographic objects, reflecting their spiritual and artistic qualities. After many years of discussion and planning, the exhibition opened at the Met Museum in New York on 10 September 1984.

After travelling to St Louis, San Francisco and Chicago, the taonga returned to Aotearoa and the exhibition continued as Te Māori: Te Hokinga Mai'. In this form the exhibition visited Wellington, Christchurch, Dunedin, and Auckland.

The international profile given to the exhibition changed Pākehā perspectives on taonga and Māori culture overall, impacting on the ongoing Māori cultural renaissance. The deep involvement of Māori throughout the life of the exhibition also changed museum practice, contributing to the redevelopment of the National Museum as Te Papa in the 1990s.
