Te Ao Marama - the World of Understanding
Learning outcomes - Demonstrate an understanding of Whakaaro Maori - Achievement - I will demonstrate an increased understanding of WHakaaro maori as expressed in Nga korero o nehera (historical accounts stories) and whakatauki (proverbs), and analysed how these are applied within a contemporary context
-Demonstrate an understanding of how Whakaaro Maori is practised in Aotearoa/NZ Achievement - I will demonstrate an understanding of symbolism within Te Ao Maori by explaining the significance of symbolic structures and the philosophical approaches of symbolism.
Whakaaro Maori - is a beautiful and metaphoric language that uses word pictures, symbolism and imagery to give it rich meaning. Whakaaro means the thinking and use of ones mind - from the word 'aro' is the act of focusing your attention on a particular matter, ie: the act of interpreting and understanding - comprehending the information you receive. So Whakaaro can be understood as the process of thinking, ones thoughts, ideas, understanding, or a persons intention. Therefore you might interpret whakaaro maori as the maori way of thinking..
Whakaaro maori is the appreciation and use of ideas, principles, and concepts of Te Ao Maori which are preserved in nga korero o nehera - historical accounts.
Different expressions of whakaaro maori are preserved in bodies of knowledge such as:
*Purakau - narratives
*whakatauki - proverbs
*Waiata - songs
*Whakairo - carvings
*Whaikorero - oratory
