Ka nui taku wbakamoemiti atu ki njra tikansa o to nupepa nei—ki te whakamara ma i nga wbakaaro o nga maori katoa o te motu, kia kaua ratou e waiho kia noho pouri ana ki nga tikanga e mahia ana i tabaki atu i a ratou. Heoi ano boki ta te maori e mohio ai ko nga ritenga o tana kainga ake anake ano—engari ma te hoe tonu mai o tenei waka ka marama ai ratou ki nga ritenga o te kainga o ia tatigata, o nga wbenua tutata, o nga w'lenua tawhiti. Hoea mai ra to waka hei tirohanga ma nga kanobi o nga maori kia wbai whukaaro ai ratou ki nga tnea pai mo ratou kite ao nei; penei boki mete w:ika e tau ibo ite rangi nei, e kiia ana, "Ko te Waka o Tamarereti"—kua homai nei hoki e te Atua hei tirohanga ma nga kanohi o nga tangata katoa, kia anga atu o ratou kanohi ki a ia.
