Ina pā mai te rū whenua, te waipuke, te āwhā rānei, ka noho te marae hei wāhi hui, hei wāhi haumaru, hei wāhi manaaki. Engari kāore taua kaha e puta noa mai i te wā o te raruraru. Me whakarite i mua, me whakamātau, me mōhio hoki ko wai ka mahi i ia mahi.
Ko te mahere ohotata pai ehara i te pouaka taputapu anake. He hononga tangata, he rārangi whakapā, he mōhio ki ngā kaumātua, ngā tamariki, ngā tāngata hauā me te hunga e hiahia rongoā ana.
Me tīmata ki ngā tāngata
Whakarārangihia ngā pūkenga: ko wai he kaiwhakaora, he kaihanga, he kaitunu, he kaiwhakahaere reo irirangi, he tangata mōhio ki ngā puna wai.
Kaua ngā kawenga katoa e utaina ki runga i te tokorua noa iho. Me whai kairīwhi mō ia mahi.
Te wai me te kai
Me pupuri wai mā, kai roa te ora, taputapu tunu haumaru me ngā tikanga tiaki para. Tirohia ngā rā, hurihia ngā taonga, kaua e waiho kia warewaretia.
Whakaarohia ngā pēpi, ngā mate kai me ngā hiahia rongoā.
Whakawhiti kōrero
Ki te mate te hiko me te ipurangi, me whai reo irirangi, pākahiko, rārangi waea ā-pepa me tētahi wāhi pānui mō te hapori.
Me mārama ko wai ka tuku kōrero mana, kia kore ai ngā kōrero hē e horapa.
Whakamātauria te mahere
Mahia he whakaharatau: pēhea te whakatuwhera i te marae i te pō, te tatau i ngā tāngata, te whakarite wāhi moe me te whakahaere kararehe.
Ka kitea ngā āputa i te whakaharatau, kāore i te pepa anake.
He mahi manaaki
Me hono te mahere marae ki te kaunihera, ngā ratonga hauora me ngā rōpū ohotata, engari me pupuri tonu te rangatiratanga o te hapori.
Ko te whakarite ehara i te mataku. He tohu aroha ki te hunga ka tae mai, ā, he huarahi kia tū kaha te whānau i ngā rā tino uaua.
