Explanatory notes

In all instances tākaro should be underpinned by the concept kia kawea tātou e te
Rēhia (be taken by the spirit of fun and amusement).
2
Kaitiaki or guardian spirits, are often manifested in the form of animals or in some
instances as taniwha without form. They are generally believed to be left to guard
over descendants of particular whānau, hapū or iwi, or over particular wāhi tapu.
3
Pūrākau are accounts or stories associated with the gods and demigods, as opposed
to pakiwaitara, which are accounts associated with humankind. The traditional and
widely held view of Māori is that pūrākau provide a historical continuum and are an
integral part of a tribe’s history.
