He Mihi No te Hiku o Te Ika.
Tena koe, koutou ko o matua, tipuna ka ngaro kite po. Tenei kua kite iho ahau i nga whakamarama a nga rangatiratanga o Aotearoa me Te Waipounamu. Tena koutou katoa. Ko ta te rangatira kupu tona whakatauki ki ahau ki a Ngapuhi, he pouwhenua, he toa ano to tena hapu to tena iwi. I tika ai te ingoa oTe Toa Takitini ki ahau ki a Ngapuhi he tinitini nga toa. Kaore ano ahau i kite iho i tetahi ingoa hou mo ta koutou tamaiti. Taku kupu mutunga, maku ta koutou tamaiti e whaka moe ki te wahine. Taku wahine ko Te Maramatanga i hoatu e te Atua ki a Noa i mohiotia ai e Noa kua kowhera te maramatanga kite ao katoa. E nga morehu o Aotearoa me Te Waipounamu tena koutou katoa. Ko Ihowa hei Hepara mo tatou hei arawhata, ko Ihu Karaiti hoki to tatou Kai-whakaora.—Na Patu Hohaia Patuone.
