Exploring the Meaning and Purpose of Maori Karakia and Atua. We discuss the concept of Maori karakia, which are not so much prayers to a superior force, but rather a way of understanding our environment and ourselves. Maori atua are seen as navigational resources and tools to be commanded, rather than gods to be worshipped. Karakia Maori is a form of whakahau, or command, to call upon these atua within us to guide and help us. #MaoriKarakia #MaoriAtua #MaoriReligion #MaoriEnvironment #MaoriIdent
