[TheCelticmaori]

i know the first song they were singing was e papa, what was the second one??

[Cassiopia012]

but they're perfect, when we throwed both we can't even catch it! adn they're really disciplined!

[Cassiopia012]

we studied that on PE but we used Lummi (lumni?) stick haha, it's so cool xD I know how to do that, but our's fast so it's kinda bit confusing and then at last step for us you'll create your own ender with your partner :D

That game was so confusing when I first tryed it when I was little.

I do not mean any disrespect to anyone but in my whanau this was a game strictly for the girls while the boys went off and learnt the taiaha. Maybe it varies from tribe to tribe. Great job here recreating a maori village but but why stop at the costumes. I don't want tourists or others thinking my ancestors ran around in sackcloth.

Hey, I am looking for some music and some resources so I can teach this to some of the people at my youth group.

Do you know where I could find some?

@gingatim look for "E Papa" Maori song here on YouTube, it's the most common song used when you learn this game. Then roll up some magazines and tape them (2 each) and just improvise and have fun with it (get ideas for simple techniques here and on other similar videos and make up a routine to do with your youth group)! I grew up playing this in NZ and have made some magazine ones for my kids.

@nesianunity Its common for Filipinos and other South Asian groups to call themselves Polynesian.

[KCHIEFTAN]

@hazza3 interesting, but they are nowhere near Polynesia lol. I think they have more in common with Micronesians

[hazza3]

@KCHIEFTAN Lol no, but the are close to it. Guys in my uni called themselves polynesian. They looked the part too! haha even the JApanese students.

[vansgirl82]

[quitpickingonme]

[funnykungfubunny2]

[PonytailGoddess]

Can you translate the song "Tititorea" or is it just the name of the game? We are singing the first song you performed in the children's music class I lead and I would like to know what the song means.

[pteradactroid]

Tititorea is the name of the game..

[quitpickingonme]

it's the name of the game. the actual song is called E papa waiari. you can find the lyrics at folksong.org.nz/epapa/index.ht­m­l

[UmmHend]

@PonytailGoddess That song is called 'E Papa' you should be able to find it here and translations definitely will be out there if you google.
