Mihimihi Ko te tīmatanga o te whakaaronui, me wehi ki Te Atua nāna nei ngā mea katoa. Me honore tō tātou kīngi Māori a Tūheitia e noho mai nā i runga i te ahurewa tapu o ōna mātua tūpuna me tōna whānau, me te whare kāhui ariki, rire, rire hau, paimārire ki a rātou. Me aumihi ki te tini me te mano kua mene ki te pō, okioki atu koutou ki te poho o pōuriuri, ki te poho o pōtangotango, okioki atu rā koutou. Ka mihi kau ki a tātou o te Ao Tūroa, ngā mahuetanga iho o ngō tātou mātua tūpuna, ara, ko tātou tēnei e whakatinana nei i tā tātou kaupapa whanake taiao. Ko te tūmanako ka eke panuku te kaupapa hei painga mō tō tātou whenua, ō tātou awa me ōna manga maha, me tātou anō hoki e noho mai nei ki te rohe o Te Nehenehenui. Paimārire ki a tātou. Wikitōria Tāne Researcher / Writer Commissioned by Te Nehenehenui Regional Management Committee Translation: The beginning of all wisdom is to be in awe before creation, before God, the creater of all things. I pay tribute to the Māori King Tūheitia, the soverign descendent of royal ancestors; and his family. May peace and goodwill be with them. Greetings to the many who have gone on before, rest in the everlasting bosom of night, rest in peaceful slumber. To those of us of the enduring world, who seek to promote wellbeing of our environment, I extend an unreserved greeting. It is hoped that this report conveys wellbeing to our lands, our rivers and tributaries, and prosperity for us the people of the Te Nehenehenui, I extend good tidings to all. 2 | Page 2.
