It is a great day for Ngāti Kahungunu ki Wairarapa Tāmaki nui-ā-Rua. I want to acknowledge all those that have travelled near and far to be here to witness the first reading. I want to acknowledge the people's patience while we finish this part of the process. But really, the day belongs to you, ōku iwi, ōku rangatira, e kui mā, e koro mā. [my iwi, my chiefs, my female and male elders.] And also to those that brought mokopuna, because it is for their lifetime that what we are doing today can improve their lot. Treaty negotiations never address all the issues or all the ills, but it does enable an opportunity for the iwi to go forward.
