WhakamĀrama Āpitihanga
Ko tētahi arotoka o te ao rātō o mua, ko te tuku i te māwhero hei tae mō te kōtiro, ko te kahurangi mō te tama. Waihoki ko te tāre te taonga tākaro e tika ana mā te kōtiro, ko te taraka mā te tama. Ka kīia tērā he arotoka ā-ira.
Ko ngā tirohanga arotoka a ētahi ka takea mai i te whakaaro kaikiri ki te rōpū e arotokangia ana. Ko ētahi ka takea mai i te kūare, i te kore mōhio o te tangata ki te rōpū e arotokangia ana. Ko te tohe a ētahi, e horapa ana tā te hunga pirihimana arotoka i te Māori i Aotearoa, me te aha, he tere te uta atu i tētahi taihara ki te tangata Māori. He tauira tēnei o te arotoka kaikiri, waihoki he arotoka whakakino.
Ko te arotoka ahurea, koia te whakaaro he rite katoa ngā tāngata o tētahi ahurea. Hei tauira, ko te arotoka a ētahi he pai katoa ngā Māori ki te waiata; he pai ngā kiri Āhia katoa ki te pāngarau. Ka kīia hoki ēnei he arotoka ā-iwi, waihoki he arotoka whakapai, nā te mea e tohua ana tētahi āhuatanga pai.
