I te kōrero mō te takenga mai o tēnei hāte whatu-ā-ringa, he roa rawa atu i mua, ko te hāte whatu-ā-ringa tuatahi, i ahu mai i ngā iwi heke o mua o ngā ringaringa hepara. I ngā wā onamata, ko ngā kākahu tuatahi o te tangata he hiako kararehe me ngā hāte.
I ia wā o te kōanga, ka tīmata ngā kararehe ki te whakaheke i ō rātou huruhuru, ka tangohia te huruhuru poto i te takurua, ka whakakapia ki te huruhuru roa kua taunga ki te wera o te raumati. Ka kohia e ngā hepara te huruhuru i whakatōkia, ka horoia, ka whakamarokehia, ā, i a rātou e whāngai ana i te kai, ka noho ngā hepara ki runga i ngā toka ka mātakitaki i ngā hipi e whāngai ana i te kai, me te huri i te huruhuru kia angiangi, ka taea te whakamahi hei whatu i ngā paraikete me ngā huruhuru hipi, kātahi ka miro pai hei whatu i te tweed. I tētahi rā, ka kaha te hau raki, kua tata te makariri o te rā, he hepara, he pononga pea, kāore he kākahu huruhuru hipi e taea te makariri, ka kitea e ia ētahi manga, e ngana ana ki te kimi huarahi hei here i te huruhuru i roto i ōna ringa kia rite ki tētahi wahi, he kēne hei takai ki roto i te tinana hei tiaki i te makariri, huri noa, huri noa, ka kitea e ia te mahi tinihanga, nō reira, ka whai hāte i muri mai.
He hāte, he koti huruhuru hipi i whatuhia ki te mīhini, ki te ringaringa rānei. I te ao tawhito o te tangata, i whakamahia ngā rau, ngā hiako kararehe hei uhi i te tinana, i te ao hī ika me te mahi kahui, i te ao hī ika kupenga, e mōhio ana rātou ki te whakamahi i ngā tikanga whatu. I te whanaketanga o te ao me te hanga hangarau, ehara i te mea ko ngā momo kararehe, tipu me ētahi atu muka taiao anake te mea e whakamahia ana e te tangata hei whatu i ngā mea e hiahiatia ana mō te oranga, engari i whakawhanakehia hoki he momo muka matū, he muka kohuke, kia pai ake ai, kia watea ai hoki te oranga o te tangata.
He ao wāhine te toi whatu ā-ringa, ā, e whakaata ana i te hītori roa o te whatu a ngā tāne me ngā wāhine, i ahu mai i te iwi taketake, ā, he mea mahi ki te ao. Ina koa i tēnei rautau hou, kua puta mai ngā pūtaiao hou, ngā hangarau hou, me te tere o te whanaketanga ōhanga hou, kua whāngaihia, kua whakakakahuhia hoki te oranga o te tangata i ēnei rā, ā, kua nui ake te whai a te tangata i te rangimarie me te ataahua o te taiao, te ataahua whakamarie me te hauora.
Ahakoa i roto i ngā pāpāho, i te ao tūturu rānei, ehara i te mea uaua ki te kite i te tangata: mai i ngā kaiārahi o te motu ki ngā tāngata pouaka whakaata me ngā tāngata rongonui, tata ki te katoa he maha, he tekau rānei ngā hāte me ngā tarau huruhuru hipi, arā, kua noho noa, kua horapa whānuitia hoki i roto i te oranga o te tangata, ā, he tino nui te maha. Heoi, mō tana tikanga whatu, ko te mea rongonui o te ao ko te tikanga whatu tuku iho o te whakairi miro matau.
