He rite tonu tōku kōrero e Te Māngai o Te Whare, ko taku tupuna tērā i mate i te tau 1918. 48 noa iho ōna tau. Tokowaru ana tamariki e toe ana. Tino pōuri taku maumahara i tērā kaupapa. Koirā tētahi o ngā tino take i haere ahau ki te wero i ahau anō. Ko taku tino take ko waku kōtiro, waku tamāhine Hihana Mairehau-Belle Te Tau o Taku Ate Prime, Heeni Hirere-June Te Kare o Ngā Wai Prime. Ko rāua te take i haere ahau ki te wero i ahau anō. Ko te take kāhore au e hiahia ana ahau kia pērā i taku tupuna i mate moata e toe ana tamariki. E hiahia ana ahau kia ora tonu ahau mō aku kōtiro, mō aku tamāhine, mō taku whānau whānui hoki me te hapori anō hoki. Nō reira e hiahia ana ahau ki te mihi ki te tini o ngā tāngata kua haere ki te wero. E mihi ana ki a koutou i haere mōu ake, mō tō whānau, mō Aotearoa whānui hoki.
