I rise as the last speaker for the National Party and also as uri of Whanganui. I acknowledge Ngāti Maniapoto, those who are gathered near, far, wherever you are; this is a Titanic, an exceptionally powerful moment in the history of Ngāti Maniapoto, with the reading—the first reading—of the Maniapoto Claims Settlement Bill. I acknowledge those who have gone before, those who are gathered here—that is, in the precinct in Parliament. I look over and I acknowledge the Hon Nanaia Mahuta. When I look at you, I see your mother and your father, those who have gone before, and those of us who are here, we carry the responsibility and the weight of our tūpuna. I acknowledge those who are far away, of Ngāti Maniapoto. We come together to w'akanui—to celebrate—today the first reading of the Maniapoto Claims Settlement Bill. My acknowledgment also extends to those who have been leaders. Those who are here in the present, you are the gift for your future, your mokopuna. Those of ours who've departed, we are their mokopuna, and we carry on into the future the aspirations but also the expectations of our old people—those of us here who are becoming old, for our mokopuna, our future.
