Kua kohukohu ngā piko o Waikato awa. Kua takawe te pokekeao ā aituā ki Taupiri. Nō reira e te Kīngi, ko te pō rā ki a koe, ko te pō rā ki a koe. Ānei mātou te iwi Māori e auē nei e pupū nei ēnei taonga ko hupe ko roimata. Tapuwae Roa joins with Te Ao Māori in mourning the passing of Kiingi Tuheitia Potatau Te Wherowhero VII.

Be who we are, live our values, speak our reo, care for our mokopuna, our awa, our maunga. Just be Māori. Māori all day, every day. We are here, we are strong.”
