Text Box:   As is right in Te Ao Mäori – please allow me to introduce myself E rere ana ăku whakaaro mokemoke ki te tihi o tőku maunga ko Hikurangi Ka heke ka heke ki te wai wairua o tőku awa ko Waiapu Hoki hoki tonu mai ki tăku papakainga ko Otumarăe, kei Horoera, kei Te Araroa Ki tőku hapũ ko Te Whānau a Hunaara Ki tőku iwi ko Ngăti Porou. Ki tőku whănau – ko te Whănau Rangihuna Rere tonu ra ăku whakaaro ki őku marae Ko Hinerupe, Ko Matahi –o- te- tau e ki ana răua “E moko, nau mai ki te kăinga....häere mai”. My thoughts return to the peak of my mountain Hikurangi. They descend to the spiritual waters of my river Waiapu. Returning to my homeland Otumarae, Horoera, Te Araroa To my beloved sub tribe Te Whanau a Hunaara – guardians of the sea To my tribe Ngati Porou To my Rangihuna family My thoughts return finally to my marae.....Hinerupe and Matahi-o-te-tau And I hear them whisper – “welcome home moko.....welcome home” My name is Bessie Rangihuna Thank you for considering Te Ao Creations Ki a koutou Nga Wahine Maori o te Whenua Kuini, aku mihi nunui o te aroha mo tenei mahi honore rawa.
