Manage episode 371284490 series 3360052
In this episode, James Webster and Libby Gray engage in a wānanga with the late tohunga pūoro, Hinewirangi Kohu-Morgan of Ngāti Kahungungu and Tauranga Moana. We delve into her vast experience in te ao pūoro, starting with the māramatanga (understanding) taught to her by her pāpā and the elders who guided her journey into te ao pūoro. We explore the teachings passed down by her pāpā, reflecting on his kōrero of the four doors of the oro tangata (human voice) and their significance as pūoro in her practice. Hinewirangi is passionate about her understanding of Ātua Māori and the current gender imbalance that misguides our people. Her story is one of pain and trauma, and how her own healing journey has guided and motivated her to help others heal through oro. Kei te Māreikura, Kei te tōhunga pūoro hoki wairua mai.
