He tino hākinakina te Whutupōro Rīki puta noa i Aotearoa. I whakatūria te rōpū Whutupōro Rīki o Aotearoa i te tau 1910, nō konā koinei tētahi o ngā rōpū rīki kaumātua katoa o te ao.
Kua kotahi te toanga o te tīma ā-motu, o te kapa Kiwi, i te Kapu Whutupōro Rīki o te Ao, ā, i toa i te tau 2008. He maha ngā kaitākaro Māori i tū hei kaitākaro mō te kapa Kiwi i roto i ngā tau, pēnei i a Sonny Bill Williams mā, i a Ruben Wiki mā, i a Tāwera Nikau mā hoki. Katoa ēnei kaitākaro i hāpai i te tīma kia eke panuku, ā, nā konā kua whai mana rātou ki ngā kaitautoko puta noa i te ao.
Hāunga rā te kapa Kiwi, kua whakaatuhia e ngā kaitākaro Māori ō rātou pūkenga i ngā papa o te ao. Kua tākaro te kapa Māori ki ētahi atu whenua o te ao, ā, he rite tonu te puta o te ihu. I te tau 2019, i toa i a rātou te Kapu o te Ao mō ngā mea Taki-Iwa, kātahi te toanga ko tērā i te ao whutupōro rīki!
He hapori kanorau te hapori rīki i Aotearoa, ā, nō ngā tini ahurea ngā kaitākaro me ngā kaitautoko. Ehara i te mea he kēmu noa iho tēnei hākinakina i Aotearoa, koia kē te oranga ki ētahi. Ka rangona tōna ihi me tōna wana huri noa i tēnei whenua.
Ka whakaako te whutupōro rīki i ētahi pūkenga matua e pakari ai te tangata, pēnei i te mahi-ā-kapa me te manawaroa. Mēnā e hiahia ana koe ki te whakamātau i tētahi hākinakina hou, whakaarohia te rīki.
Karawhiua!
