Mihi o Ngāi Tahu
From conception to birth, to life, to death, the essence of whakapapa
He mihi tēnei ki a koutou katoa i roto i tēnei mahi i ou tatou tipuna.
E tika ana hoki te kōrero ou ratou i mua ra, kaua e whakanekehia atu te rohe tawhito i whakatakotoria e ou matua tupuna; ki a mau ke tatou ki ou matou whakapapa.
Ma tou matou Matua-nui-i-te-rangi tatou katoa e tiaki.
Aroha-nui,
