Heoi pea nga take hei korerotanga atu maku. Taku hiahia takoto atu i tenei wa me whakahaere tahi tonu tatou i te ora mo nga iwi e rua. Me te tumanako hoki o toku ngakau kei te pai kei te marama pea ki a koutou aku korero me aku whakautu atu mo a koutou patai, a kia tupu ake ai i roto i tenei hui a tatou he painga ki nga iwi e rua i nga wahi katoa o te koroni tae noa ki nga tangata e noho ana i te taha ki raro o Akarana. Ka maha nga marama e hiahia ana ahau kia kite i a koutou penei i a tatou kua kitekite nei i tenei ra. Ka korero ano to koutou mema ki a koutou, ahakoa kei te rereke a maua nei mahara mo runga mo etahi aronga whakaaro a te Kawanatanga, engari mo te taha ki te iwi Maori ko te hiahia tuturu tenei a te Kawanatanga he mahi anake i te pai raua ko te tika, a kei te whakapono ano hoki ia kei te pono tonu te rapurapu atu a te Kawanatanga i te huarahi i taea ai to ora mo koutou. I au e haereere ana i roto i nga takiwa o te motu nei taku mahi tena he uiui ki nga Pakeha, korerotia mai ana ki ahau kei te pouri tonu etahi o nga iwi o tenei takiwa, a tena e tupu ake ano he raruraru. No te korerotanga penatanga mai ki ahau ka mamae ano hoki ahau, tuturu ana taku mahara kia whakakorea atu ena aronga e ka taea e au. Kaati kua mohio nei ahau he pai te [unclear: mutunga] iho o to maua nei kitekitenga ko te Kawana i a koutou. Ka ao ake ana te ra i te ata tau ana te pakoha i roto i nga awaawa, a i nga marama o te hotoke papa ana te hukarere i runga i nga maunga, engari ka whiti te ra ka mahea atu te kohu, a ma te ra raumati i rewa ai te hukarere. Kaati ko te mea mana e mahea atu ai nga kapua pouri e tau iho ana ki runga i a koutou ko nga tangata e noho ana i nga nohoanga whai mana kia whakaponohia e koutou, a ko koutou hoki kia mohio ma te whakahaere tahi anake a nga iwi e rua ka taea ai tena aronga. Kaati ka tumanako tonu atu toku ngakau me e kore e hue ake he maramatanga i runga i te korerorerotanga tahitanga me te whakaputenga o nga mahara i tenei hui a tatou e kore atu ai nga whakaaro awangawanga me nga mahara hopohopo e takoto nei i roto i o tatou whakaaro. Te hiahia nui i roto i au kia mau tonu tenei maramatanga o te ngakau haere noa koutou ki te wahi i o koutou tupuna, a me te mau tonu a ake tonu atu. Me penei he kupu ma koutou "Kia mau kia mau ki nga tikanga i whakatakotoria e o tatou tupuna i te wa o te hainatanga o te Tiriti o Waitangi i hainatia nei ki tenei whenua ingoa rongo nui." Ki te pena te tikanga ka kore atu nga kapua pouri. Kei te nui noa atu te whenua mo tatou katoa. Me noho tahi tatou ano he iwi kotahi i runga i te aroha me to atawhai me te whiwhi tahi i nga painga i homai ai e te Atua e to tatou Kaihanga. Kia ora koutou, kia tupu, kia tini, kia rite to koutou kaha to koutou mana ki te wa i hainatia. ai te Tiriti o Waitangi. Kia mau tonu te aroha i takoto i te wa e kaha ana koutou e ngoikore ana page break
