  • Here I present five karakia for opening a meeting and two karakia for closing a meeting and one karakia kai for prayer before eating. / @tanishajowsey77 According to Maori tradition, formal hui (meetings) are opened with one karakia and closed with one karakia.
    I am not an authority on karakia, nor am I Maori. Despite this, I have made this film with a hope to be helpful to those seeking to incorporate karakia into daily kiwi practices.
    Text of one karakia to open a meeting:
    Karakia to open a meeting
    E te hui
    For this gathering
    Whāia te mātauranga kia mārama
    Seek knowledge for understanding
    Kia whai take ngā mahi katoa
    Have purpose in all that you do
    Tū maia, tū kaha
    Stand tall, be strong
    Aroha atu, aroha mai
    Let us show respect
    Tātou i a tātou katoa
    For each other
    Karakia whakamutunga - to close a meeting
    Kua mutu a matou mahi
    Our work has finished
    Mō tēnei wā
    For the moment
    Manaakitia mai mātou katoa
    Bless us all
    O mātou hoa
    Our colleagues/friends
    O mātou whanau
    Our family
    Āio ki te Aorangi
    Peace to the universe
    I am tau iwi/pakeha/kiwi (non-Maori). I use karakia in my workplace to open and close meetings and I use the karakia kai when on marae or in formal settings prior to eating. My children use different karakia kai at their early childhood centre and school. I present a short one I like and practice it through twice because I stumbled on a word the first time around.
    Apologies for any mispronunciation. I've done my best with the skills I have in the hopes to help people. Nga mihi.
