Whakataukī Wero
Rāpare
E koekoe te tūī, e ketekete te kākā, e kūkū te kererū
- The tūī chatters, the kākā cackles and the kererū coos.
This whakataukī speaks to the value of diversity: “By appreciating all our voices, our different songs, we make good music for the future”*
Like humans, every bird has its own unique characteristics, like the individual cry they make. The native birds of Aotearoa have distinct calls and, in some cases, are named after those calls. This whakataukī explains that, like our native birds, we as humans also have individualistic traits. The literal lesson given by this whakataukī is:
a) It takes all sorts to make a world.
b) Variety is the spice of life.
Please have a think about what that means to you.
