NGĀ MARAE O NGĀTI MĀKINO – Te Waiiti Marae 🌿
Me rangi pūkohu au ki te take o Haroharo ki te whenua taurikura o taku tūpuna a Hinekura, ka noho ki te uri whakaheke i a Rākeiao, ka moe i a Keapare, o te kawai i a Tūtauaroa, i a Mātāmoho, i a Te Kāhu, i a Tūahuriri ē.
Āra te marae e tū nei, Ko Te Waiiti.
As we continue acknowledging 15 years since settlement, we also continue to acknowledge our people, our uri, and the whakapapa that spans generations and connects us across our marae.
He ūkaipō ngā marae, he wāhi hokinga mahara ki ngā whānau kua riro, he kōpū aroha ngā whare tūpuna. Our marae are more than buildings, they are our tūpuna, a place we call home, places where generations have gathered, celebrated, grieved, learnt, and belonged.
He mihi aroha ki ngā whānau o Te Waiiti, ki ngā ringa raupā, ngā ringa manaaki, me te ahikā e hāpai tonu ana i tō tātau marae. Nā koutou te kaha kia anga whakamuri ngā uri whakatipu. Ānei a Ngāti Mākino e mihi nei.
Ka nui te aroha e te whānau,
Ngā Poumahi o Ngāti Mākino Iwi Authority.
