about

This waiata was originally written for Paula Morris’ kōrero around Tawhaki in the book ‘Pūrākau’ and his ascent to retrieve the baskets of knowledge, a legend shared by us as Kāi Tahu.

lyrics

Pikipiki
Pikipiki
Ka pikipiki te aka matua

Pikipiki
Pikipiki
Kia puta mai te ihu ki Rākiatea

Climb, climb
Climb the parent vine
Climb, climb
So you may arrive diligently at Rākiatea
