To the descendants of Tama-te-Kapua, I am one of you. We are the descendants of Tama-te-Kapua, who landed at Whangaparāoa—that is, at the foot of Tihirau—landing then at Maketū, and then spreading out to all corners of this land. So it was Tama-te-Kapua, then Tawaki-moe-tahanga, then Uenuku from Rarotonga and Rangitihi. Rangitihi of the proud and lofty brow. Rangitihi whose head was bound up with bushvines. That is not for a mere mortal. This is my greeting to you, my relations. This is your grandchild who greets you. Therefore, to the many groups of subtribes, this is your day. Ngāti Hinehua, Ngāti Hinerangi, Ngāti Ihu, Ngāti Mahi, Ngāti Whareiti, Ngāti Tionga, Ngāti Tutangata, greetings to you all.
