E rima tekau tau ki muri, ka puta mai a ‘Pounamu Pounamu’ hei kai mā te ao pānui reo Pākehā. Ko te whakataunga a ngā mana mātauranga o Aotearoa o taua wā, he pukapuka tēnei mā ngā tamariki i ngā kura o te motu whānui.
Kua huri te ao, kua hipa te wā, ko tēnei a ‘Pounamu Pounamu’ e horahia nei hei hākari mā te kaipānui reo Māori, ko ia rā pea te mokopuna a te kaipānui reo Pākehā o mua.
Ka pēhea te kawe i te wairua o tēnei kohinga kōrero e rangiwhāwhā nei te pānuitia, kia rangona tonutia ai te kounga o te kupu Pākehā? Me kawe tonu i te pukuhohe o He Kēmu Kāri, i te ngau mamae o Tangi, i te hōhonu o te aroha o Te Tamaiti.
Kua whakautua taua karanga e ngā kaiwhakawhiti reo Māori tekau mā tahi i noho rā hei pia i Te Panekiretanga o te Reo me ngā Kura Reo. He mea hōmiromiro ā rātou whakamāoritanga e te kāhui hihira, e Mākoha Gardiner rātou ko Pānia Papa, ko Hēni Jacob, ko Stephanie Tibble. Kei roto nei ngā hua o tā ngā kāhui nei whakaheke tōtā, e kitea ai, e rangona ai hoki te puāwaitanga o te reo Māori me ngā reo ā-iwi i roto i ngā tau.
Kei te tū rangatira tonu ngā kupu i rere mai ai i te pene a Witi Ihimaera, nāna te huarahi i para hei whai mā te kaituhi kaupapa Māori. Me mihi, ka tika.
Ko Kotahi Rau Pukapuka te waka. Ko te pae tawhiti, kia 100 ngā pukapuka reo Māori ka pae ki uta. Ko te whāinga, kia puāwai te aroha ki te reo mā te rau pukapuka. Tēnei mātou e pōhiri ana i a Penguin Random House hei hoa whakatere, hei hoa whakatutuki i ngā wawata o te hunga e ngākaunui ana ki te reo Māori.
Witi Ihimaera was the first Māori to publish both a book of short stories and a novel, and has published many notable novels, collections of short stories and in 2020 published his substantial non-fiction work, Navigating the Stars. Described by Metro magazine as ‘Part oracle, part memoralist,’ and ‘an inspired voice, weaving many stories together’, Ihimaera has also written for stage and screen — including libretti — edited books on the arts and culture, as well as published various works for children. His first book, Pounamu, Pounamu, has not been out of print since its first publication in 1972. His works have received many awards over the years, such as the Wattie Book of the Year Award and the Montana Book Award, and most recently the Ockham Award for best non-fiction in 2016 for his first volume of memoir, Maori Boy. The second volume, Native Son, was published in 2019, the same year Pūrākau was released, which he co-edited: editing volumes celebrating the work of other writers has also been an important part of Witi’s focus. He has also had careers in diplomacy, teaching, theatre, opera, film and television. He has received numerous awards for his contribution to literature, including the inaugural Star of Oceania Award, University of Hawaii, a laureate award from the New Zealand Arts Foundation 2009, the Toi Māori Maui Tiketike Award 2011, and the Premio Ostana International Award, presented to him in Italy 2010. In 2004 he became a Distinguished Companion of the Order of New Zealand, in 2017 France made him Chevalier de l'ordre des Arts et des Lettres and the same year he received the NZ Prime Minister’s Awards for Literary Achievement.
