Hihiri Ake

एक बोर्ड गेम जो हवाईयन से ततारिया अर्किनकुई से एटोरिया तक चलता है।

Hihiri Ake, up to four groups race to be the first to the summit of Mauao.

The resource, although centred on kōrero from within the tribal boundary of Ngāti Ranginui and Tauranga Moana, has relevance to iwi across Aotearoa and the Pacific through the many voyages of Tamatea aboard Tākitimu waka, as well as the alliances and intermarriages of his uri, some of whom are mentioned above. Tākitimu traversed the Pacific, and Aotearoa from the top of the North Island before making final landfall at the foot of Aoraki mountain in the South. Hence its relevance to many rohe.

Ko Mauao te Maunga  Mauao is the Mountain

Ko Tākitimu te Waka  Tākitimu is the ancestral Canoe

Ko Te Awanui te Moana  Te Awanui is our sea

Ko Ngāti Ranginui te Iwi  Ngāti Ranginui is our Iwi

Ko Tamatea Arikinui te Tangata  Tamatea Arikinui is our Ancestor
