KARAKIA

Opening a Hui with a Karakia acknowledges the spiritual connection Māori have with their ancestors
 and helps to draw participants together under a common purpose.

Examples of Karakia to open and / or close Hui include:

Whakatakata te hau ki te uru

Whakatakata te hau ki te tonga

Kia mākinakina ki uta

KARAKIA

Cease the winds from the West

Cease the winds from the South

Let the breezes blow over the land

Let the breezes blow over the ocean

Let the red-tipped dawn come

With a sharpened air, a touch of frost, a promise of a glorious day

Behold the breath of life
Amen

KARAKIA A TE ATUA (The Lord's Prayer)

E to mātou matua i te rangi

Kia tapu tōu ingoa

Kia tae mai tōu rangatiratanga

Kia meatia tau e pai ai

Ki runga ki te whenua

Kia rite anō ki tō te rangi

Hōmai ki a mātou āianei

He taro mā mātou mō tēnei rā

Murua o mātou hara

Me mātou hoki e muru nei

I o te hunga e hara ana

Ki a mātou

Aua hoki mātou e kawea kia whakawaia

Engari whakaorangia mātou i te kino

Nāu hoki te rangatiratanga te kaha me te korōria

Āke, ake ake

Āmine

Our Father which art in Heaven

Hallowed by Thy name

Forgive us our trespasses

As we forgive

Those who trespass

Against us

Lead us not into temptation

But deliver us from Evil

The strength and the glory

Forever and ever

Amen
