Te whakaora ake i te kuta
Me pēhea te whakatipu kuta hei whakahauora ake i ngā pā kuta?
Te mahi kia tinaku ngā kākano kuta
Anei ngā āhuatanga motuhake e tinaku ai te kākano kuta i te pārekereke:
Kohia ngā kākano, ka rumaki ai ki te wai whakakōmā mō te pō.
Whakatōkia ngā kākano kia noho ki raro iti nei i te oneone, ki tētahi ipu ka pupuri i te wai
Āta whakakīia haeretia te ipu ki te wai i te wā e tupu haere ana ngā wana. Ko te tikanga , kia tae ki te tīmatanga o te kōanga, kua 15 cm neke atu rānei te hōhonu o te wai.
He kākano kuta
Ka whakatōkia ngā kākano ki raro iti nei i te oneone, ki tētahi ipu ka pupuri i te wai, kia mākū tonu ai te oneone.
Te whakatō ki te taiao
Kia āhua 30 cm te tāroa o ngā pihi, kātahi anō ka rite mō te whakatō ki te roto hōhonu, ki te hāpua hōhonu rānei. Whakatōkia ki te tapa o te roto/hāpua, heoi anō, kia kaua e pāpaku ake te wai i te wāhi e whakatōkia ana i te 15 cm.
Ka pai anō te tiki akakōare mai i ētahi atu kuta kua roa e tipu ana. Ko te akakōare pai, e nui ake ai te tūpono ora, ko te mea e whā, e rima rānei ngā kakau e pihi ake ana i a ia, āhua 15 cm nei te roa o tēnā, o tēnā.
Kia kore ai e whakawhitia he ira i waenga i ngā taupori kuta motuhake, me whakamahi ngā akakōare o taua takiwā tonu, ngā mea e noho pātata mai ana.
Ina whakatipuria he pā kuta hou ki tētahi rohe kua roa ngā tāngata o reira e mahi kuta ana, me uaua ka tikina atu he kākano, he akakōare rānei i waho atu o tō rātou rohe – he pai ake ki ngā kairaranga te āta tiaki i ā rātou ake momo kuta, i ō rātou ake pā kuta. Arā tētahi kairaranga i tahuri ki te kohi i ngā kākano i te wā e kokotia ana te kuta, ā, i whakatōkia ki ētahi wāhi pātata hei tautoko i ngā whakaoranga ake o ō rātou pā kuta.
Ngā tae māori o te kuta
Ki te whakamahia te kuta māori hei raranga taonga, kāore e tāwaia, ka āhua rite ngā tae ki ērā o ngā kakau ka waiho kia mate hirinaki noa i te taiao.
Te whakarite anga hei aroturuki, hei whakaora ake i te kuta
Mā te anga aroturuki, whakaora, ka āta whakahuatia ngā mea matua hei whakaaro ake ina kawea he kaupapa whakaora. Ko te tino o te whakaora, ko te whakahoki mai, ko te whakapūmau i tētahi tipu (hei tauira, te harakeke ), i tētahi ika, manu rānei (hei tauira, te matamata, ngāi Galaxias) kua kore, kua kaha rānei te paheke, he momo e kaingākautia ana e te whānau , e te hapū , e te iwi . Mā te aroturuki, ka whakaemitia ngā raraunga me ngā pārongo e mōhiotia ai te ara ahu whakamua, e kitea ai hoki mēnā kei te whai hua ngā mahi e mahia ana i taua ara i te takanga o te wā.
Ko te anga aroturuki, whakaora e whai ake nei, he tauira hei ārahi i ngā mahi whakaora kuta. Ka taea hoki te whakahāngai atu ki ētahi atu momo, pērā i te harakeke , i te matamata, i ngā momo huhua noa.
Anei ngā mahi matua me kawe ake hei whakatupu i tō tatou mārama ki ngā āhuatanga e pā ana ki te kuta. Ka hua ake tēnei māramatanga i te kōtuinga o ngā momo mātauranga maha.
Kōrero atu ki ō kaumatua me tō whānau . Whakaemia ō rātou pūmahara me ā rātou mahi i ēnei rā e pā ana ki te kuta.
He pēhea te āhua o te kuta o te hau kāinga, ki tā ngā whatu, tā te ihu, tā ngā taringa anō? Tuhia ēnei kōrero mō te āhua o te kuta e ai ki ēnei tairongo. He mea nui kia mau ēnei tū kōrero hei hoa mō ngā kōrero pūtaiao e pā ana ki te apiapi o te taupori, te rahi o te kuta me te pai o te wai.
He aha ngā ritenga o te hau kāinga mō te kohi, te whakamaroke me te rokiroki i te kuta? Kua rerekē ēnei ritenga i roto i te wā? He whakaaro ō ētahi mō ngā take i rerekē ai ēnei ritenga? Kei te whāia anō he maramataka Māori e mōhiotia ai te wā pai hei kohi i te kuta?
He aha ngā ingoa o te hau kāinga mō te kuta (mēnā he ingoa kē anō)? He aha ngā hononga ā-whakapapa ki ētahi atu momo e noho tahi ana ki te kuta, pērā i te wīwī (ngā momo Juncus), te kahikatea (a Dacrycarpus dacrydioides), te harakeke , ngā pepeke, ngā ika, me ngā manu, tae atu ki te matuku (a Botaurus poiciloptilus) kua āhua onge nei? Kia mōhiotia ēnei kōrero, ka mārama ake te kitea e pēhea ana te hauora o te pūnaha hauropi nui tonu.
Tautohua ngā wāhi kia aroturukihia, i runga i ngā kōrero kua kohia. Me whai whakaaro hoki ki ēnei āhuatanga:
I hea te kuta e kaha tupu ana i mua? Kei hea e matomato ana te tupu ināianei?
Me aroturuki hoki ngā moemoeā mō te kuta, tae atu ki ngā mātauranga ka pīrangitia ā ngā rā e heke mai nei. Kua paheke haere te taupori? Kua ngaro katoa rānei? Kua rerekē te nōhanga o te kuta, te whakamahinga rānei o ngā whenua e piri tahi ana ki te nōhanga, koia pea te take kua rerekē te kaha o te tupu?
Me kōrero ki a wai?
Ki ngā tāngata pūtaiao, tae atu ki ētahi atu whānau, hapu, iwi anō hoki kua mahi kē ki te whakaora ake i ngā pā kuta. Me mahi tahi ki a rātou ki te whakatakoto mahere whakaora e kaha ea ai ngā hiahia o te hapori tangata me te hapori kuta.
He kōrero kōpūtahi
E tūhono ana tēnei kōrero ki Ngā taonga raranga, Te kuta – te tipu kaitā o ngā nōhanga wai māori me Te harakeke – he tipu raranga tangata.
He whakamihi
I pūtakea mai tēnei mātaitanga i tētahi kōrero i tuhia mō te pukapuka Te Reo o Te Repo – The Voice of the Wetland, arā, i Kuta – the giant of freshwater , nā Mieke Kapa (Te Whare Wānanga o Waikato).
Tuihonoa Te Reo o Te Repo.
E tika ana kia mihia ngā ētita me ngā kaituhi o Te Reo o Te Repo – The Voice of the Wetland mō rātou i whakaae mai, i tautoko mai i te hurihanga o te pukapuka nei. Me mihi hoki ngā pūkenga o Pauline Waiti rāua ko Hēni Jacob, tae atu ki ngā kaitautoko taha pūtea, ki a Manaaki Whenua me te kaupapa Unlocking Curious Minds a te MBIE.
