Tuia ki te rangi,
Tuia ki te whenua,
Tuia ki te moana,
Tuia te here tangata,
E rongo te pō, e rongo te ao
E whēkite ana, e whēkaro ana i ngā uhitai a Wainuiātea Tupuna o ngā moana kiriwaiwai mō Papatūānuku.
Ngaki mai ana a Taitua rāua ko Taiaro E haehae tonu ana i te uma o Nuku
"Bind the tapestry of life which affirms humanity’s connection to the natural world.
To the celestial realm, to the earthly realm, to water the sustenance for all life forms, and, to remember to keep everything in ‘balance’."
"The mists of Wainuiātea, the mother of all oceans and waterways, rise like tears above the waterways that provide the fluid skin to clothe Papatūānuku.
The ancient waterways of Taitua and Taiaro forever eroding and tearing at the breast of Papatūānuku."
