Te Kereme:
Introducing Christchurch City Libraries Māori Resource Librarian Assistant
Ngā mihi maioha kia kōtou rā.
Ko Ngā Rākau e Rua a Atuamatua te Waka,
Ko Ngātoroirangi te Ihorei,
Ko Tamatekapua te Tangata Hahau
Ko Matawhaura te Maunga tapu,
Ko Rotoiti-i-kite-ai-ā-Ihenga te moana,
Ko Kāhuitara te tangata,
Ko Ngāti Pikiaorangi te iwi,
Ko Ngāti Hinerangi ā Kehuorongotama te hapū,
Ko Nekeneke-i-te-Rangi Te Tāuhu o Kawatapuārangi Pāoratūroto te kakau o tōku ingoa.
My name is Nekeneke-i-te-Rangi Te Tāuhu o Kawatapuārangi Pāoratūroto and I am a descendant of Te Arawa, Tainui and Tokomaru waka. I am the new Kopuka Kai-tūara Māori (Māori Resource Librarian Assistant) with the Christchurch City Libraries network and will be based in the Central library. I enjoy the position and especially the opportunities that it has to offer in terms of working towards linking our people with Mātauranga Māori.
Heoi anō, mā te wā tonu e tū ake hai whakarite, nō reira, mauri ora kia tātau katoa.
