Nerehana Whanau

Tēnā koutou, e te whānau! Ko Tumanako (Carla) ahau. Ko au tētahi o ngā mokopuna ā Nelson rāua ko Marina.

I te taha o tōku Koroua:
Whakarara tōku maunga
Kopuakawau tōku awa
Ngātokimatawhaorua tōku waka
Ngāpuhi tōku iwi
Ngāti Kura tōku hapū
Te Tāpui tōku marae

I te taha o tōku Kuia:
Wharepuhunga tōku maunga
Waikato tōku awa
Tainui tōku waka
Raukawa tōku iwi
Ngāti Huri tōku hapū
Pikitu tōku marae

I created this channel back in 2010 as a learning resource for my whānau. Most of these waiata were introduced to me by Mum’s side of the whānau, so I’ve included everything I could based on our iwi & hapū affiliations.

Since then, I’ve been completely blown away that this channel has brought so much enjoyment. Thank you to everyone for watching, listening, liking, sharing, and singing along. Ngā mihi nui ki a koutou katoa!

In memory of our grandparents: Nelson and Marina.
