Hei whakakapi i tēnei tauākitanga, ka mutu awau me ngā kupu o te waiata o Te Kooti Whenua Māori: Whakatutukihia ngā herenga, whītikitikiria ki te ture, kei konei ngā tūmanako, kei konei ngā wawata, ka tau te mauri o te Tipuna Whare, ka tau te Aio o te iwi e.

Ko te whakakape
I pau te manawa me te kaha ki te whai i te tika me te pono
o tēnei puka pānui, i tuhia, i whakatikaina, ā, i pānuitia
i runga tonu i te mōhiotanga ko ōna kaituhi me ōna
kaiwhakatika, kaipānui hoki kei te wātea mai i ngā herenga
i mahia, kāhore rānei i oti i tētahi tangata te katoa, ētahi
wāhanga rānei, ngā kupu me ngā kaupapa kōrero o tēnei
puka pānui te mahi.
I whakapōtaengia ia i
Te Herenga Waka ki te Tohu
Ture, te Tohu Paetahi mō te
reo Māori, me te Tohu Paetahi
Hōnore (Taumata Tuatahi)
mō te Mātauranga Tōrangapū
me te Aorere.
