Mā te Taonga o te Raukura e tohutia te aratika nui mō tātau katoa.

He mihi tēnei mai te rōpū Honongatanga ā iwi me ngā kai mahi māori o Te Kaunihera a rohe o Ngāmotu kia koutou katoa i raro i te maru o ngā mātua tūpuna.

Nau mai whakataumai.

 

May the taonga of the raukura guide us all to the rightful pathway.

Greetings from the Iwi Relationships Team and the Māori staff of New Plymouth District Council.

Within the mantle of elders, welcome and let's embrace.
