This is the second programme from the 100th Centennial Celebration Hui of the Ringatu religion held at Muriwai, Gisborne, in July.
Excerpt of church service in te reo Māori.
"Tribal visitors came from many parts of the country. Te Atairangikaahu and her Waikato/Maniapoto people attended in force. It was in the Waikato area, that Te Kooti Rikirangi found shelter in 1871, under Tawhiao's protection. The Otewa Marae which was made available to Te Kooti during his years in that district, by the Maniapoto people, is still treated with reverence today."
02.41 - 05.04: Psalm chant.
05.04 - 05.20: Announcer - "In the first programme you heard speeches of welcome to his Excellency, the Governor-general and Lady Porritt by the Reverend Kahutia Te Hau, Arnold Reedy and Ngakohu Pera. We hear now the address by Paraone Reweti, Member of Parliament for Eastern Māori."
05.20 - 10.00: Whaikorero - Paraone Reweti [in te reo Māori and English]
10.00 - 10.24: Announcer - "In his welcoming speech, Sir Turi Carroll paid tribute to the Governor-General for honouring the Ringatu Faith with his presence, and made a plea to declare Waitangi Day a National Holiday, as a symbol of unity of Māori and pakeha. On being asked his opinion of the Ringatu Church, and if it is a worthwhile religion to pursue and perpetuate, Sir Turi firmly replied."
10.24 - 14.29: Sir Turi Carroll, interview in English.
14.29 - 14.41: Excerpt from the Takitimu poi.
14.41 - 16.16: Announcer - "The official spokesman for the Ringatu Church, Tawehi Wirihana, speaking in Māori, told us many things. He spoke of Te Toiroa, a prophet living at Mahia, who in 1766, foretold the coming of the white man and of Te Kooti Rikirangi. These predictions materialised with the arrival of Cook in 1769, and the birth of Te Kooti in 1814. Te Toiroa predicted too, that Te Kooti would disappear for a while, and return with a religion, of which the symbol would be an upraised hand. This was substantiated when Te Kooti was taken to Wharekauri for three years and returned with his religion on 10 July 1868. Tawehi explained that in their services the Ringatu repeat everything three times, once for every year that Te Kooti was in exile. He stated that the reason why only the followers of the Church alone were allowed to attend the actual services, was solely to retain the sanctity and the sacredness of the whole religious ceremony. He said too that the Church in the past 100 years, was created and maintained in the traditions of the generations of those times, and in his opinion, the Ringatu authorities will have to consider making some adjustments to the laws of the Church to meet the winds of change which are now challenging the Māori of today."
16.16 - 16.27:
16.27 - 17.05: Announcer - "Typical of the Māori, the hui at Muriwai was not left for the Ringatu adherents and the Tamanuhiri local people alone to cope with. Under the Ringatu organising committee, all the workers for this important function came from tribes throughout the district and from other denominations all eager to help and assist in any way possible. Leaders of other Christian churches were given a part to play in the formalities of the ritual to the Vice-regal guests, such as Taare Maitai of the Presbyterian Church. During his speech he made a plea to the Ringatu Church elders."
17.05 - 20.15: Taare Maitai - kōrero.
20.15 - 20.27:
20.27 - 20.54: Announcer - "The Centennial celebrations had been months in preparation and it was a fitting climax for the Ringatu people that on the final day, the day of the ceremonial welcome to their distinguished guests, that the sun shone forth in its fullness. The addresses of welcome had been given and the great assembly of Māori and pakeha settled in the sun on the marae courtyard to hear the Governor-General, Sir Arthur Porritt, reply."
20.54 - 28.35: Sir Arthur Porritt - Speech in English.
28.35 - 28.48: Announcer - "And that ends this Māori programme..." Theme music.
