HE K HE OO RER O He Koorero KIIN TE NAA Naa Te Kiingi G I Message from the King The 2020 Annual Report is based on the following tongikura The financial success of our tribe must be reflected in the from Kiingi Taawhiao:Tuuheitia: wellbeing of my people. It makes no sense to me to have a wealthy tribal entity, but a nation with people who financially struggle. We cannot have institutions of knowledge and “Amohia ake te ora o te iwi, ka struggle to fill our paepae and kitchens.

Upon where do I stand, but the success and strength of my people. If you are strong, I am strong. Your “To protect the wellbeing of our success gives rise to a successful Kiingitanga. We cannot people is paramount” separate ourselves from that which our tuupuna forged. Generations of our people have sacrificed so much for what we see and have today. So too must we continue to make Ka rere tonu aku whakaaro ki te waahi ngaro, ki te Atua i some sacrifice, so that the generations to come will see runga rawa. Maana taatou e tauwhiro i ngaa waa katoa. Kei more.

As kaitiaki of the Kiingitanga, our aspirations, I am your King - nothing is of greater concern for me than values and vision must provide the foundation for a wider your wellbeing and the wellbeing of all my people across context and reality.

It is also the foundation upon which we make our stand as kaitiaki of the Kiingitanga. We must continue to live this reality every day. Paimaarire As you read the many reports and consider their implications, my abiding request is that we remain united and focused in our primary role as kaitiaki of the Kiingitanga. The unity we find is because of this sacred task. We must not take it for granted. We must continue to press for further kotahitanga and a deeper sense of understanding our role as kaitiaki. As we navigate our future in a post Covid-19 world I have Tuuheitia Pootatau Te Wherowhero Te Tuawhitu firm expectations of all my tribal entities. No one is to be left behind; not one single person. I issue that charge because it is my duty as King to care for the people. My tuupuna left me a legacy and responsibility. I pledge my life’s service for the benefit of the people.
