HAKA - TE PURU This haka was composed in 1864 as a Tuhoe response to the encroachment of the colonial invasion of the British Empire. Tuhoe met the colonial forces at Orakau in the Waikato where they engaged in battle. Although this battlefield was a couple of hundred miles from their own lands, Tuhoe felt the need to meet the aggressor therefore their own space was threatened. Te Puru or literally 'the bull' was a metaphor used to describe the arrogance of the colonial forces. Tuhoe used the image of a bull to belittle the invaders. 'Whakatanga ki runga i whakatanga ki raro' The haka describes how the bull in its arrogance with its insatiable appetite to devour everything within its reach. Leaving nothing for anyone else. 'Pukawautia koa' As a result we Tuhoe like the shag who wonders aimlessly about like a nomad. The conditions of its home are such that does not support Ahikaroa or mana whenua. You become a lost people. 'Nga ngaira ngira, nga hota hota' The context of this statement illuminates the technical advantages that the colonial powers had over Tuhoe in this instance and how the invaders was to wreak havoc upon an otherwise technological inferior opponents, this bull showed no mercy. 'O te whitau, Tapahia' This line alludes to the damage caused by such arrogance on an otherwise fragile community. The image is of the bullet slicing through the flax bush killing the heart of the flax, which of course was the metaphor for the heart of a community. 'Awhea awhea, te rua tamariki' The reference is to the young generation of that time who were prepared to die in order to maintain their liberty. The last section of this Haka makes reference to how Tuhoe were totally committed to resist the arrogant bull with its insatiable appetite. This haka is left for the Tuhoe generation as a reminder as to the commitment of Tuhoe ancestors. The haka is the commitment to follow the legacy of those great ancestors caught in the wake of the arrogant bull.
