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.

Kāti rā, rātou ki a rātou, tātou ngā mahuetanga iho i a rātou, tēnā tātou katoa.
