Turangawaewae Juniors sing and Tumate Mahuta speaks at the final function in Kimikimi dining hall mahi ana i tēnei mahi i Tūrangawaewae. I tēnei tau i kitea te ihi me te wana o ngā mahi ā te rēhia. Ko te kapa ī toa mo ngā pākeke ko Waioeka o roto mai o Te Whakatōhea. No te ekenga mai o tēnei rōpu ki runga i te marae ka karawhiu te ua. Ahakoa te heke o te ua ka haka tonu te roopu nei, ā, pakipakitia ana rātou e te whakaminenga i noho i roto i te ua ki te mātakitaki i ngā kapa haka. Kaha ake ana te heke o te ua, kaha ake ana te haka ā te rōpu nei, ā, e tika ana kia toa rātou nā te mea i tino kitea tō rātou wana ki te haka. Ko te kapa i tuarua no roto mai o Te Arawa, ā, ko tōna īngoa ko Ngārara Nui. Ko te kaitakitaki o tēnei rōpu ko Hōri Brennan nāna nei te rōpu a Te Rangiwewehi i tino mōhiotia ai. Ka rite ano tēnei roopu ki tērā o Te Rangiwewehi, ā, ki a au nei, a tōna wā ka puta ano tēnei kapa hei toa mo ngā mahi whakataetae haka nei. Ko te kapa i tuatoru no Taranaki mai, ā, ko tō rātou kaitakitaki ko Napi Waaka. He ataahua tēnei rōpu ki te matakitaki atu, ā, wana ana tā rātou poi. Ko te wāhanga mo ngā tamariki kei te haere ki ngā kareti i riro i te rōpu o Rangitikei o Te Hau-ā-uru. Ko te wāhanga mo ngā tamariki pakupaku i riro i te rōpu o Ngārara Nui. Ahakoa te pakupaku o ngā tamariki o tēnei rōpu no te putanga mai o ngā kotiro ki te poi wana kē ana. I a koutou te wana, kōtiro mā, i taua rā. Tēnā koutou katoa. I ki au i runga ake nei kātahi anō te tau i pēnei rawa ai te nui o ngā kapa haka i tae Turangawaewae. This year great expertise and enjoyment in the cultural arts were fully exhibited. The winning group in the senior section were Waioeka of Te Whakatohea. When this group came onto the marae to perform the heavens opened, and despite the falling rain the group continued its performance and were given a great ovation by the crowd who had remained in the rain to watch the performances. The more it rained the better the group performed and it was only right that they should win for they displayed in full their ability to perform. The group which came second was of Te Arawa and called Ngarara Nui. The leader of this group was George Brennan who was responsible for the Te Rangiwewehi group becoming so well known. This group is very similar to that of Te Rangiwewehi and, in my opinion, will soon emerge as a winning team in future competitions. The team which came third was from Taranaki and their leader was Napi Waaka. This group was very beautiful to watch and their poi was very beautifully performed. The intermediate section was won by the group called Rangitikei from the west coast. The junior section was won by Ngarara Nui. Although the children in this group were very small, when the girls performed their poi they were very beautiful to look at. Yours was the glory of that day, kōtiro mā. Congratulations. I mentioned earlier that this was the first year in which so many groups had come to celebrate the anniversary of the
