Tōku toa
Tōku toa, he toa rangatira.
Kei te pōwhiri a Kia Mau i te hunga rangatahi me ō rātou kaiako kia whakahōnore i ērā i whai wāhi ki te Rōpū Rua Tekau Mā Waru mā te whakanui i ā rātou mahi ki te waiata me te haka.
Greetings to you
Tēnā koutou kua tatū mai ki te pae nei ee... Nau mai, haere mai...
Ngā tama toa o te rua tekau mā waru i hinga ake nei, otirā ki o tatou tini aituā – Haere! Haere! Haere atu rā...
Ka hoki mai nei ki ngā kanohi ora me te kaupapa e paihere nei i a tātou. Nau mai, haere mai whakatau mai rā...
Teachers' notes
The Kia Mau resource was originally designed for senior Māori-medium teachers. It focuses on two waiata and two haka that have an association with the Māori Battalion. On this site, you can now access the teachers’ notes in English and the DVD clips with English subtitles.
