[Ngāti Rangitihi, welcome. To your tribe, to your sub-tribes, to your families, to your ancestors, to the female and male elders who have become stars in the heavens, to the children and grandchildren yet to come, this is your day in this House, therefore it only right to pay tribute to you. I am someone of Tūhourangi who greets and mourns with you. It is appropriate that we should sing the famous lament of Tūhourangi to you, "Ōku Hoa Moenga."]
