“E whai ana a Kaiwhakawā Matua Fox i ngā pūkenga katoa, te āhuatanga me te
āheinga ki te whakatutuki i tēnei takohanga.
E whakarite ana ngā kōrero ārahi i ngā pātai e wherawherahia ana engā whānau me te hunga ngaio e mahi ana i te rāngai:
He pēhea te whakaae a ngā rangatira whenua Māori i tētahi mōkete?
Mēnā kei te hiahia koe ki te kōrero kanohi ki te kanohi engari kare e taea e koe te haere atu ki tētahi o ā mātou tari, ka taea e koe te haere ki paneke, e whakaratoa ana ngā ratonga Kooti Whenua Māori i ngā wāhi pakupaku ake puta noa i te motu.
Kia nui tonu te whakauru mōhiohio ki tō uiui. Ko ngā ingoa o ngā whānau, ngā tarahiti, me ngā whenua e pā ana ki ngā tuhinga ka māmā ake mō mātou ki te whakaoti rangahau me te tuku i tētahi whakautu kounga.
Mēnā e hiahia ana koe ki te kōrero kanohi ki te kanohi ki ā mātou kaimahi engari kāore e taea te haere ki ā mātou tari, ka taea e koe te haere ki tētahi o ā mātou paneke kei ngā wāhi pakupaku ake puta noa i te motu e tata ana pea mōu.
Mā tātou te whenua e ora, mā te whenua tātou e ora
We will care for the land, the land will care for us Whenua is part of the identity of tangata whenua.
