## What is Te Kākano?

Nau mai, haere mai ki Te Kākano.

Welcome to our Māori Cultural app Te Kākano. For Te Ope Whakaora, Te Ope Whakaora means ‘the Army that brings life.’ 

We’ve created Te Kākano as a tool that will help you gain confidence and assist you to learn some fundamental aspects of te reo Māori (the Māori language), tikanga (customs), mātāpono me ngā kaingākau (principles and values), karakia (prayer/incantation, spiritual observation) and waiata (songs). 

You can easily access Te Kākano wherever you are to remind you of things like mihimihi, karakia, and waiata. 

Te Kākano features
-	Synchronised narration in te reo Māori 
-	Tap to hear pronunciation of te reo Māori words
-	Record your own narration
-	Create your own pepeha 
-	Print your own pepeha page
-	Export pages, images and audio to colleagues and friends.

We wish you all the best for your learning kia kaha koutou katoa!
Whakatau mai rā ki te Te Kākano!
