My great-great-grandfather Tamihana Teketeke was among the exiled, and he was there when Te Kooti founded the hāhi o Ringatū on your shores of Rēkohu. I thank ngā Moriori for their continued tiakitanga of a place which has so much tapu for so many people in New Zealand, and acknowledge not only the kaitiakitanga, the tiakitanga, that you exhibit over your natural resources but the wairua of that place and of what it has become as a cultural pou for not only the Hāhi Ringatū but the whole fabric of hāhi Māori within New Zealand.
