Na taua maramatanga i tae mai nei kia an i kite ai an i etahi mahara moku. Man e tuku atu enei kupu ruarua nei. He mihi atu naku kia Te Arawa mo tenei main hou kua whakatakototia nei e ratou hei tauira ki nga iwi o Aotearoa me te Waipounamu. Ehoa ma e te poari whakahaere i nga moni o nga Moana o Te Arawa me nga Komiti tena koutou. Ki a piki te tino maramatanga mete ora mete kaha ki a koutou katoa mo tenei mahi rangatira a koutou. Kahore he taonga i tua atu i tenei kua mahia nei e koutou hei painga mo tou iwi mo te Arawa hei oranga mo nga kaumatua, hei kawe i nga uri whakatupu ki nga taumata o te Matauranga e ora ai nga uri e kore ai e takahia e te iwi pakeha ki raro i ona waewae tae atu ki nga iwi o waho atu i te pakeha.

E te Atua tohungia a te Arawa. —Na Huta Paaka.
