Karakia

Karakia are said for many different reasons and on many different occasions. Karakia can be traditional or refer to Christian beliefs. Whānau/Hapū/Iwi have their own karakia and preferences for which ones they say - karakia can refer to important tribal knowledge and understandings (mātauranga). Karakia are very important in creating the best conditions for doing something or being ready to do something. Karakia are often followed by waiata.
