This, at a time when the nation is celebrating the 50th year of the anniversary of the Māori language petition, the 40th anniversary of te kohanga reo and the 35th anniversary of te reo Māori becoming an official language of Aotearoa New Zealand.

He pānuitanga tēnei kia mōhiotia ai ka tū Te Kooti
Whenua Māori ki te whakawā, ki te uiui hoki, i ngā
tikanga o ngā tono a muri ake - Nau mai, haere mai
Special Court Sitt...
Ko tētahi haepapa nui i ō mātou mahi
katoa, waihoki, ko te taura matua pea e herehere
nei te Kooti Whenua Māori ki Te Puni Kōkiri,
ki te Tumu Paeroa, ki te Roopu Wakamana i te
Tiriti o Waitangi anō hoki, ko ā tātou mahi ki te
whakahoki i te whenua, ki te manaaki i te whenua
hei kāinga mō te iwi Māori.
I taua pūrongo hoki rā te kōrero
mō te kaupapa hou, mō “Hangaia te Whare” me
tana aro atu ki te aronga matawhānui o te Kooti
Whenua Māori, arā, kia tu hei Kooti Māori e
tawharau nei i te pae tangata, i te pae whenua, i te
whare kōrero.
Pae Tukutuku Poutama
Kei a te Pae Tukutuku Poutama te haepapa ki te
rēhita i ngā taitara whenua, ki te pūmau anō hoki
ki te mana o te pūkete me te putunga, tae atu anō
hoki ki te pūnaha raraunga.
He mea āhukahuka Te Rautaki Reo o Te Kooti
Whenua Māori i te hōhonu me te iho tāroa o
te whanaungatanga i waenga i te reo Māori, te
tāngata whenua, me te whenua anō, he tohu i te
tino hiranga o te oranga me te whakamarumaru-
tanga o te reo Māori.
