I whakaarahia e Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei i tētahi ohu kaikaranga e kiia ana ko Whiria te hono. He kaupapa tēnei hei aru i te ora o te karanga, i te pakari o ngā wāhine o Ngāti Whātua, i te mōhio ki ngā kōrero tuku iho, i te hiranga o tēnei taonga ki ōna kaituku. Nō tōna whakairatanga kitea mai ai te kaha o ngā wāhine o Ngāti Whātua - tēnā me ōna kura huna, tēnā me ōna pūmanawa, tēnā me ōna manatunga. Ka āta matapakitia e tētahi wāhine tokorua mō ō rāua anō wheako, me ā rāua mahi mō raurangi.
Through the act of karanga, we traverse both the physical and spiritual realms, guided by ancestral voices that echo through time. This sacred practice is far more than a ritual—it is a powerful form of cultural expression that binds the living with those who have passed on. Within the context of Whiria te hono, a distinguished collective of kaikaranga from Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei, the spiritual and practical responsibilities of this tradition are deeply honoured and carefully upheld. These wāhine carry the weight of generations with each call, embodying the values, stories, and mana of their iwi.
