KORERO AKATUERAANGA I ROTO I TE REO PAPAA
TE TUPUANGA MAI O TEONEROA. Kia Orana and
greetings to everyone who are present here
today. My topic today is based on one of the very
unique beach called Teoneroa.(The glittering long
white sandy beach). I will briefly tell you a
short story of how this beach was named
Teoneroa. In ancient times there lived a Tahitian
warrior called Iro-Nui-Maoata. He was traveling
the Pacific Ocean seeking land for him and his
people to live. Apparently while still searching
for land to live, he crossed along the southern
side of Mauke where Teoneroa was located and saw
a land.

Iro-Nui-Maoata encouraged his people to paddle
harder. When they got closer they heard a sound
of drums coming from the island, so Iro- Nui
thought that there is a celebration on
land. Eventually while reaching the land the
sound they heard before was not a drum, but the
sound of the waves crashing onto the cliffs. At
the same time they saw a beautiful glittering
long white sandy beach. Then he named it
Teoneroa(the glittering long white sandy beach)
and the island Te-Rae-O-Te-Pau (The forehead of a
drum.) Thats how this beach got its name but he
didnt know that the island was already been
named and occupied before by Uke Ariki and his
descendants.

However today we have selected Teoneroa to be our
area of study for the Sandwatch project with the
agreement of the land owners. This program
allowed us to carry out research work and collect
informations on what is on the beach and what is
happening on the beach, e.g. living organisms,
human activities, natural rubbish or changes
occurring on the beach. Through out our field
trips weve noticed lots of changes that people
and our natural resources caused to this
beach. During our first trip to Teoneroa the
beach was untidy, there were lots of rubbish left
behind by people and lots of natural rubbish,
there were also rubbish carried by the waves,
washed on to the beach.

All the litters that we have collected were
brought to school and these were classified into
different groups. Today we will show you some of
the findings from our study and towards the end
we have recommendations to put forward to the
people of Mauke. To conclude I would like to
encourage the people of Mauke to look after our
Teoneroa beach before its beauty disappears from
our sight.
