kura huna
1. (noun) important knowledge.
Tērā e hoki mai te Māori, a tōna wā, ki te kimi i aua mea i whiua atu e ia ki wīwī, ki wāwā. Ko te Pākehā anake i tahuri ki te pupuri i ngā kura huna, i ngā reo a ngā kaumātua, arā ko te pupuri tēnei he tā ki te perehi (TTT 1/5/1923:4). / In time the Māori will return to seek out those things that were tossed hither and thither. Only the Pākehā set about retaining the important knowledge, the voices of the elders, namely by holding on to this by publishing it.
