Kāi Tahu ki Ōtaki me Horowhenua
Ka rere kā mihi ki kā mate puta noa i te motu, mai i Muriwhenua tae noa ki Murihiku. Ki tō mātou pito o te ao, ko Harina Raureti-Cooper tērā i karakahia e Tahu Kumea, e Tahu Whakairo. Koia tērā e poipoia kā tamariki o tēnei rohe. Moe mai rā e te manukura, hoki atu ki ōu tīpuna.
E ōku whanauka e noho ana ki raro i kā pae mauka o Tararua, ki te taha o te awa o Ōtaki, nei rā te mihi. Huri noa ki tō tātou iwi, ki te iwi Māori whānui, tēnā koutou katoa.
Haereka ki te papa kāika
Some of our whānau (Bradshaw, Bluff whānau) are heading back to their papa kāika for a visit this month. Mariana, Clare and niece, Hara are heading back to Bluff for the Oyster Festival at the end of the month and to catch up with whānau. Have a fabulous trip and feel free to bring some oysters back for the rest of us. Haere pai atu, hoki pai mai.
