Ka poupou te rā ki ruka Aoraki
Topa tou atu taku manu

E taku tipuna Tahu Pōtiki

Ka tau, ka tau au ki konei
Taku manu ka tau, tau ha e...I
Explanation:
This mōteatea takes us on a journey across the rohe pōtae (tribal territory) of Ngāi Tahu. Commencing at the northern boundary, travelling across the plains, past Aoraki, down to the southern waters and then back up the western side of Te Waipounamu.
Translation of places:
Canterbury plains - Ka Pākihi whakatekateka o Waitaha
Foveaux Strait - Te Ara whenewhene a Kiwa
Te Tai Poutini - West Coast
Listen here:
Ka haea te ata was composed by the Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu Kā Tuākana i te reo Māori class in February 2010.
The broad kaupapa was to compose a waiata about Te Waipounamu. This then developed into a journey across the rohe potae of Ngāi Tahu, commencing at the northern boundary, travelling across the plains, past Aoraki, down to the southern waters and then back up the western side of Te Waipounamu. Sheree Waitoa composed the tune.
* Note that our eponymous ancestor, Tahu Pōtiki, did not set foot in Te Waipounamu. Tahu Pōtiki however is reflected in his descendants, our tīpuna, who travelled, explored, claimed, named and established ahi kaa to the rohe pōtae of Ngāi Tahu.
