Kaitiaki and their Whiringa

  • Tangaroa - Ariki

  • Ruaumoko - Mangotoa

  • Tawhirimatea - Mangotoa

  • Haumietiketike - Aronui

  • Tumatauenga - Mangotoa

  • Ranginui - Ariki

  • Papatuanuku - Aronui

  • Tane Mahuta - Aronui

  • Rongomatane - Tohunga

  • Whiro - Tohunga

  • Rehua - Ariki

  • Whaitiri - Mangotoa

  • Io (Collective - All the gods) - Ariki, Tohunga, Mangotoa, Aronui

Can you tell us why each kaitiaki is in each whiringa?


Did all the Kaitiaki want their parents to be separated? No, Tane Mahuta was the only one who really wanted it to happened and he fought his brothers to make sure it did happen.


When Tane Mahuta spoke to his brothers this was the first Hui - hui whānau in Māori culture.


Io - the song - is a waiata that represents all of our Atua. This is why we are going to be singing this song during our Matariki celebrations. We are acknowledging everyone and everything.


Whiro - is in time out. They are the oldest Kaitiaki. Whiro is the smartest of the Kaitiaki. Whiro questioned Io and challenged Io. They are in time out because of this 'naughty behaviour'.
