Sharing The Vision of Kotahitanga

Nau mai, haere mai, tauti mai

He waka kōtuia kāhore e tukutukua ngā mimira

A canoe that is interlaced will not become separated at the bow. In unity there is strength.

Ka rere ngā mihi ki ngā mate maha puta noa i te motu, mai i Muriwhenua tae noa atu ki Murihiku. Rātou katoa kua karangahia e Tahu Kumea rāua ko Tahu Whakairo ki te pō nui, ki te pō roa, ki te pō tiwhatiwha. Tukuna rātou kia okioki i te moenga roa. Kua riro rātou i te hā kore, arā i te kiri mātao. E pōua mā, e tāua mā, haere atu ki te whare o Io Te Matua ki Matangireia, moe mai rā. Kāti rā, rātou ki a rātou, tātou ngā mahuetanga iho i a rātou, tēnā tātou katoa.

Every Māori Vote Counts!

E te whānau, it’s coming up to that time again when we can vote for who we want to represent us in Parliament.
