Ko te Makariri Nui te tohu o te wā whakamutunga o te rā i roto i te maramataka tuku iho Hainamana, hei whakamutunga i te haerenga makariri o te takurua, ā, hei whakamutunga tūturu mō te huringa ā-tau. I ngā rohe raki, ka tae te makariri ki tōna tihi tino kaha, me ngā hau ngau e pupuhi ana i roto i ngā kāinga me te hukarere matotoru e puranga ana kia teitei hei taupoki i ngā ara maunga, hei whakatio i ngā awa papaku kia pakari, hei huri i ngā mara tuwhera hei whenua mā kanapa. I waenganui i tēnei rangi kino, ka tū ngā puawai paramu hei karere toa o te takurua—ka puāwai rātou i te huka me te hukarere, ko ō rātou rau whero kanapa e rerekē ana ki ngā taiao mā, e hanga ana i ngā tirohanga whakamiharo o te manawanui kua roa e whakaohooho ana i te tangata. Ko ēnei huringa taiao whakamiharo ehara i te mea ko ngā tirohanga ā-tau noa iho mō ngā hapori onamata; he aratohu whai hua mō te oranga o ia rā me ngā mahere ahuwhenua. I ako te tangata ki te urutau ki ngā āhuatanga tino kino o te takurua, mai i te hiri i ngā matapihi ki te penapena taonga, i te tatari marie mō ngā tohu ngoikore e haere mai ana te kōanga.

I roto i ngā hapori ahuwhenua, ehara i te mea he rā noa iho i runga i te maramataka te Matū Makariri—he whakamahara nui ki te tiaki i ngā hua mai i te makariri nui. I whakawhirinaki ngā kaimahi pāmu ki ngā tikanga kua whakamatautauria mō te wā roa hei tiaki i ō rātou oranga: i takai rātou i te kakau witi ki ngā moenga tipu hei pupuri i te mahana, i rongoa i ngā witi kua hauhaketia ki roto i ngā whare witi maroke, he pai te whakamahana hei karo i te kino o te hukapapa, ā, i tirotirohia te makuku o te oneone i ia wā kia kore ai e mimiti te huka ki roto i te whenua. I noho hoki tēnei wā marino o te mahi pāmu hei wā pai mō te whakarite i te kōanga—i whiriwhiria e ngā kaimahi pāmu ngā purapura, i whakatika i ngā parau me ngā maripi, ā, i whakamātautau i te kounga o te oneone hei mahere i ngā wā whakato. I tirotirohia hoki e rātou ngā whanonga kararehe hei tohu huarere tūturu: te moe roa o ngā pea i roto i ngā ana, ngā manu e huihui ana mō te mahana, tae noa ki te whakaiti i te mahi a ngā kiore iti, i whakapakari katoa i te māramatanga ki ngā wā o te tau, i āwhina i ngā hapori kia noho tahi me ngā huringa o te taiao.

Ko ngā tikanga tuku iho i te wā makariri nui e aro ana ki te mahana, te kai, me ngā hononga ngākau nui—he tino pai mō te pei i te makariri o te takurua. Ka huihui ngā whānau ki ngā kīhini ki te tunu kai reka, mahana kua tukuna iho mō ngā whakatipuranga. Ko ngā hupa i kohuatia mārire me ngā huawhenua pakiaka ngawari, ngā mīti reka kua rongoatia mai i te ngahuru, me ngā keke raihi piri ngawari kua kohuatia me ngā whakakī pīni reka, he kai matua katoa ēnei i te tēpu. Ehara i te mea ko te whawhai noa i te makariri ēnei kai; he tohu mahana anō hoki—e tohu ana i ngā hiahia mō ngā kotinga nui, ngā hononga whānau piri, me te mutunga whakamarie o te takurua. I ētahi rohe, ka tāpirihia e ngā kawa iti o ngā tūpuna he tikanga tuku iho: ka tuku ngā whānau i ngā kai me te whakakakara i te kāinga, e whakaatu ana i te whakawhetai mō ngā manaakitanga o mua me te inoi mō te waimarie i te tau e haere ake nei. I te tata mai o te Hakari o te Koanga, ka piki ake te wairua hakari—ka tīmata ngā whare ki te horoi hohonu, ka mahi ā-ringa i ngā whakapaipai whero, ka whakawhitiwhiti koha iti ki ngā hoa noho, ka huri i ngā rā hotoke makariri hei wā harikoa me te tumanako.

Ko te tiaki hauora i te wā makariri nui e whai ana i ngā tikanga tuku iho kua roa e whai ana, e aro ana ki te whakataurite i te tinana me te taiao makariri. Ko te whakamahana tika te mea nui rawa atu—ka whakatakotohia e te tangata ngā kākahu i runga i te rautaki, me te aro nui ki te tiaki i te kaki, i ngā ringaringa, me ngā waewae mai i ngā hau kaha ka tere te mimiti i te wera o te tinana. Ka whakapai ake hoki te kai i te takurua: ka whatua ngā kai whakamahana pēnei i te kanekane, te kāriki, ngā tāte whero, me ngā wolfberry ki roto i ngā kai o ia rā, ahakoa ka ruia ki te tī, ka tāpirihia ki ngā hupa, ka kainga mata rānei. Ka āwhina ēnei kai ki te whakanui i te wera o roto me te whakapakari i ngā pūnaha ārai mate hei ārai i ngā mate o te takurua. Ka akiakihia hoki ngā mahi tinana ngawari—ka whakatairangahia te rere o te toto i te rā o te ahiahi, te totoro puhoi, ngā nekehanga tai chi ngawari rānei me te kore e whakararu i te tinana. I te whai i te ara o te taiao, ka whai te tangata i ngā tikanga whakamarie: te moe wawe ki te okioki me te oho ake i muri mai hei karo i te makariri o te ata, ka tukuna ngā tinana kia hoki anō i roto i ngā pō roa o te takurua.

Kī tonu ngā tuhinga hītori me ngā tuhinga tuhituhi i ngā tohutoro ki te Makariri Nui, e whakaatu ana i tōna hiranga ahurea hohonu. E whakaatu ana ngā rotarota me ngā tuhinga tawhito i ngā whakaahua ora o ngā whenua kua taupokina e te hukapapa, ngā pō marino o te takurua, me te manawanui marino o te tangata e manawanui ana ki te makariri i a ia e tatari ana mō te kōanga. I tuhia e ngā tohunga me ngā kaimahi pāmu ā rātou kitenga mō te Makariri Nui i roto i ngā rautau—e tuhi ana i ngā huringa pāmahana, te tipu o ngā tipu, me ngā whanonga kararehe i roto i ngā pukapuka me ngā pukapuka. Ko ēnei mātauranga kua kohia hei pou mō te oranga o ia rā, e āwhina ana i ngā hapori kia tupu i roto i ngā huringa āhuarangi me ngā wero taiao. Tae noa ki tēnei rā, kei roto i ēnei tuhinga tawhito ngā māramatanga nui ki ngā tauira o te wā, e hono ana i ngā whakaaro o mua me te māramatanga hou ki te taiao.

I ēnei rā hou, kei te tipu haere tonu te ngangau o te ao mō ngā kupu rā e 24, ā, kāore a Major Cold i te rerekē. Ka keri ngā kairangahau o te ao ki ngā pūtake pūtaiao o ēnei kupu, e hono ana i ngā huringa o te wā ki ngā huringa ahuwhenua, te rerekētanga o te āhuarangi, tae atu ki te hauora o te tangata. Ka whakahaerehia e ngā umanga ahurea huri noa i te ao ngā whakaaturanga, ngā awheawhe, me ngā huihuinga ipurangi hei whakapuaki i ngā kōrero mō te maramataka tuku iho Hainamana, e whakaatu ana i ngā taha mahi me ngā taha rapunga whakaaro o ngā kupu rā. Kei te hono anō ngā whakatupuranga taitamariki o Haina ki ēnei tikanga i roto i ngā huarahi hou—ka whakapuaki rātou i ngā tohutao o te wā ki runga pāpāho pāpori, ka uru atu ki ngā huihuinga auaha e pā ana ki ngā kupu rā, ā, ka whakakotahi i ngā tikanga tawhito me ngā momo noho o nāianei. Hei tauira, ka hurihia e ētahi ngā kai reka hotoke tuku iho hei kai reka hou, ko ētahi ka kiriata i ngā ataata poto mō ngā tikanga Major Cold hei whakapuaki ipurangi, ka hanga i ngā tikanga tawhito kia hou, kia ōrite hoki.

He mea nui ngā whakanuinga hapori i te wā o te Major Cold ki te whakapakari i ngā hononga hapori me te tuku iho i ngā taonga tuku iho i waenga i ngā whakatipuranga. I ngā kāinga tuawhenua, ka whakarite ngā kainoho i ngā mahi ngahau tahi: ngā hui rōpū hei hanga kai reka tuku iho, ngā whakaaturanga waiata tuku iho i ngā tapawhā o te kāinga, ngā huihuinga kōrero pakiwaitara rānei e kōrerohia ai e ngā kaumātua ngā kōrero mō ngā takenga mai o Major Cold. Mā ēnei wā ka ako ngā tamariki i ō rātou kaumātua, ka ora tonu ngā tikanga. I ngā tāone nui, ka rapu te iwi i ngā wheako hotoke e pā ana ki te kupu rā—te whakauru atu ki ngā hikoi rōpū ki te matakitaki i ngā pua paramu i te hukarere, te toro atu ki ngā pokapū ahurea mō ngā awheawhe mō ngā mahi hauora tuku iho, te haere rānei ki ngā huihuinga potluck me ngā hoa ki te kai i ngā kai whakamarie hotoke. Ehara i te mea ka whakatairanga noa iho ēnei huihuinga i te wairua noho tahi engari ka ora tonu hoki ngā tikanga ahurea i roto i te ao hou e tere haere ana.

I te hekenga iho o te makariri nui, ka tīmata te kitea mai o ngā tohu ngawari o te kōanga i roto i te makariri. Ka roa ake te awatea i ia rā, ka puta puku ngā puku ririki ki runga i ngā manga rākau, ā, ka ngaro te koi o te hau. Ko tēnei whakawhiti ngawari e whakaata ana i te rapunga whakaaro tuku iho a Haina mō te yin me te yang—ka mau te makariri nui i ngā purapura o te mahana, ā, ka whakatakoto te pōuri i te ara mō te māramatanga. Ka tīmata te tangata ki te rongo i te hihiri hou i a rātou e rongo ana i te taenga mai o te kōanga: ka whakapaipai rātou i ngā māra, ka whakarite i ngā kohua tipu, ka whakarite hoki i ngā mahere mō ngā tīmatanga hou. Ka noho a Major Cold hei piriti i waenganui i te mutunga o te hotoke me te tīmatanga o te kōanga, e whakamahara ana i te tangata ko ia wā makariri ka whai i te tipu.

Ko te hiahia o te ao ki a Major Cold i ahu mai i tana karere whānui mō te noho tahi me te taiao. Ko te whakaaro ki te whakataurite i te oranga o ia rā ki ngā wā o te tau e pārekareka ana ki ngā ahurea katoa—ahakoa he whakarerekē i te kai kia rite ki te rangi, he whakaroa i te makariri i ngā marama makariri, he maioha rānei ki ngā huringa o te taiao. Mā Major Cold, ka whiwhi te hunga mātakitaki o te ao i tētahi tirohanga hohonu ake ki te tuakiri ahurea Hainamana, me te whakaaro nui mutunga kore mō te urutau ki te ao tūroa. Mā tēnei whakawhitiwhiti ahurea ka whakarei ake i te māramatanga o te ao mō te hononga o te tangata ki te taiao, me te whakaatu i te uara o te mātauranga tuku iho i roto i te hapori hou. He whakamaumaharatanga tēnei ahakoa te matatau o te hangarau, ka hangaia tonutia ō tātou oranga e ngā huringa o te taiao.

Ehara a Major Cold i te tohu wā noa iho—he miro e raranga ana i ngā mea o mua me ngā mea o nāianei, te taiao me te oranga tangata. Kei te whai pānga tonu ōna tikanga, āna tirohanga, me āna mahi ki te āhua o te urutau a ngā hapori ki te takurua, te whakanui i te manawanui, me te whakarite mō te kōanga. I te mea ka hono atu te ao, ka nui ake te hiranga o ngā akoranga o Major Cold i mua: te whakaute i ngā manawataki o te taiao, te manaaki i te whānau me te hapori, me te kimi i te harikoa i ngā wā ngāwari o te takurua. He whakanui i te manawanui, te tumanako, me te ataahua marino o ngā rā whakamutunga o te takurua i mua i te taenga mai o te kōanga.

I roto i ngā hapori ahuwhenua, ko te Major Cold te whakamahara nui ki te tiaki i ngā hua mai i te makariri nui. I whakamarumaruhia ngā tipu e ngā kaipāmu ki te kakau witi, ā, i rongoatia ngā witi kua hauhaketia ki ngā wāhi maroke, mahana hei ārai i te huka. I tīmata hoki rātou ki te whakamahere mō te whakato i te kōanga, te whiriwhiri i ngā purapura me te whakatika i ngā taputapu i te wā okioki o te takurua. Ko ngā tirotiro i ngā whanonga kararehe, pērā i te moe roa o ngā pea me te whakaiti i ngā mahi a ngā manu, i whakapakari ake i te māramatanga ki ngā auau o te wā, ā, i āwhina i ngā hapori kia noho tahi me te taiao.

Ko ngā tikanga tuku iho i te wā o te makariri nui e aro ana ki te mahana, te kai, me te hononga. Ka huihui ngā whānau ki te tunu kai reka hei whawhai i te makariri, pērā i ngā hupa i kohuatia mārire me ngā huawhenua pakiaka, ngā mīti kua rongoatia mai i te ngahuru, me ngā keke raihi piri kua kohuatia ki ngā whakakī reka. Ehara i te mea ka whakarato noa i te kaha tinana ēnei kai engari he tikanga tohu anō hoki, e tohu ana i ngā hiahia mō te nui me te kotahitanga. I ētahi rohe, ka whakahaere ngā tāngata i ngā kawa iti hei whakahonore i ngā tūpuna, ka tuku kai me te whakakakara hei whakaatu i te whakawhetai me te inoi mō ngā kotinga pai i te tau e haere ake nei. I te tata mai o te Hakari o te Koanga, ka tere haere ngā whakaritenga: ka horoi ngā whānau i ngā kāinga, ka hanga whakapaipai hakari, ka whakawhitiwhiti koha hei manaaki i ngā tīmatanga hou.

Ko te tiaki hauora i te wā makariri nui e whai ana i ngā mātāpono o te mātauranga Hainamana tuku iho, e aro ana ki te taurite i waenga i te tinana me te taiao. Ko te kaupapa matua o te tangata ko te pupuri i te mahana, te mau i ngā kākahu paparua hei tiaki i te kaki, ngā ringaringa, me ngā waewae mai i ngā hau ngau. Ko ngā kai whakamahana pēnei i te kanekane, te kāriki, me ngā tāte whero ka whakaurua ki ngā kai o ia rā hei whakanui i te wera o roto me te whakapakari i ngā pūnaha ārai mate. Ko ngā mahi tinana ngawari, pēnei i te hikoi i te rā, te totoro puhoi rānei, ka whakatairanga i te rere o te toto me te kore e taumaha rawa te tinana. I te whai i ngā huringa taiao, ka moe wawe te tangata, ka ara ake i muri mai, ka taea ai e ngā tinana te okioki me te whakahou i a rātou anō i ngā pō roa, makariri.

E whakaata ana ngā tuhinga hītori me ngā tuhinga tuhituhi i te hiranga ahurea hohonu o te Makariri Nui. E whakaahua ana ngā rotarota me ngā tuhinga tawhito i ngā whenua kua taupokina e te hukapapa me te manawanui marino o te takurua, e hopu ana i ngā kare ā-roto o te tangata i a rātou e manawanui ana ki te makariri me te tatari ki te kōanga. I tuhia e ngā tohunga me ngā kaimahi pāmu ngā kitenga o te rā puta noa i ngā rautau, e whakapai ake ana i te māramatanga ki ngā tauira o ngā wā me ō rātou pānga ki te ahuwhenua. Ko ēnei mātauranga kua kohia hei turanga mō te oranga pumau, e whakarite ana kia ora ngā hapori i roto i ngā huringa āhuarangi me ngā wero taiao.

I ēnei rā, kua piki haere te hiahia o te ao ki ngā kupu rā 24. Ka ako ngā kairangahau o te ao i ngā pūtake pūtaiao o ēnei kupu, e hono ana i ngā huringa o te wā ki ngā huringa ahuwhenua me te rerekētanga o te āhuarangi. Ka whakahaerehia e ngā umanga ahurea o te ao ngā whakaaturanga me ngā awheawhe hei whakapuaki i te mōhiotanga o te maramataka tuku iho Hainamana, hei whakaatu i ngā āhuatanga mahi me ngā āhuatanga rapunga whakaaro o ngā kupu rā. Ka hono anō ngā reanga taitamariki o Haina ki ēnei tikanga mā roto i ngā pāpāho pāpori, ngā huihuinga auaha, me ngā whakawhitiwhiti tunu kai o te wā, e whakakotahi ana i ngā tikanga tawhito me ngā momo oranga o nāianei.

Ka whakapakari ngā whakanuinga hapori i te wā o te makariri nui i ngā hononga pāpori me ngā taonga tuku iho i waenga i ngā whakatipuranga. Ka whakarite ngā kāinga tuawhenua i ngā mahi tahi, pērā i te hanga kai reka tuku iho, te whakahaere rānei i ngā whakaaturanga waiata tuku iho, ka ako ngā kaumātua i ngā tamariki mō ngā tikanga me ngā kōrero mō te wā o te rā. I ngā tāone nui, ka uru atu te iwi ki ngā hikoi hotoke hei maioha ki ngā pua paramu i te hukarere, ka toro atu rānei ki ngā pokapū ahurea hei ako mō ngā mahi hītori e pā ana ki te makariri nui. Mā ēnei huihuinga ka whakatairanga i te noho tahi, ā, ka whakarite kia mau tonu ngā tikanga ahurea i roto i te ao hou e tere haere ana.

I te tata mai o te makariri nui, ka puta mai ngā tohu ngawari o te kōanga. Ka roa ake te awatea, ka puta mai ngā puku ririki ki ngā manga rākau, hei tohu i te whakawhiti mai i te makariri nui ki te tipu hou. E whakaata ana tēnei panoni i te rapunga whakaaro Hainamana mō te yin me te yang, kei roto i te makariri nui ngā purapura o te mahana me te ora. Ka tīmata te tangata ki te rongo i te hihiri hou, te whakarite mō ngā tīmatanga hou me te whakato purapura o te tumanako mō te tau e haere ake nei.

Ko te hiahia o te ao ki a Major Cold i ahu mai i te rongonui o te noho tahi me te taiao. Ko te whakaaro ki te whakarite i te oranga o ia rā ki ngā wā o te tau e pārekareka ana ki ngā ahurea katoa, e whakahihiko ana i te tangata ki te whai i ngā tikanga whai whakaaro me te pumau. Mā Major Cold, ka whiwhi te hunga mātakitaki o te ao i te māramatanga ki te tuakiri ahurea Hainamana, me te whakaaro nui o te urutau ki te ao tūroa. Mā tēnei whakawhitiwhiti ahurea ka whakarei ake i te māramatanga o te ao mō te whanaungatanga o te tangata ki te taiao, e whakaatu ana i te uara o te mātauranga tuku iho i roto i te hapori hou.

Ehara a Major Cold i te tohu wā noa iho; he miro e hono ana i ngā wā o mua me ngā wā o nāianei, te taiao me te oranga tangata. Kei te hanga tonu ōna tikanga, āna kitenga, me āna mahi i te huarahi e urutau ai ngā hapori ki te takurua, e whakanui ana i te manawanui, me te whakarite mō te kōanga. I te mea ka hono haere te ao, ka tukuna e ngā akoranga o Major Cold he tirohanga whai tikanga mō te noho taurite me te whenua, e whakamahara ana i te tangata ki te ataahua me te whakaaro nui e kitea ana i roto i ngā huringa wā.
