Two Great Kinsmen In his reply, Sir Bernard said that he counted it a great privilege that in his youth he knew those two great kinsmen, children of Atiawa, Te Rangihiroa and Maui Pomare. ‘Te Rangihiroa was concerned with the past of the Maori people, Maui Pomare with their present and future. Great was his work; but it is not yet completed. Ka mate he tete, ka tupu he tete. It is for you, the Maori people of today, to carry on where he was leading you.’ After quoting figures which show that the record of Maori health is today still far worse than that of the European, Sir Bernard recalled that when Sir Maui Pomare began his career as a doctor among the Maori people, they were a dying race. ‘He did more than any other individual person to stem the tide and to turn it. He spoke “me he korokoro tui”; but I say to you again that his work is not yet done.’
