Nō te Atua te reo i iri atu ai ki te rangi
Nō Te Arikinui Kuini Nga wai hono i te po te reo rāhiri ki ōna hoa o te Ao i hui mai ai ki runga o Tūrangawaewae i te rā nei.
Nō Moengarau, nō Moengaroa te reo kukume ki ngā kura tau i takoto ai ki te ātāmira o te mate.
Ko te kauae runga ki te hunga mate. Ko te kauae raro ki a tātou te kanohi tangata.
Tēnei te reo ora te kūīkūī nei, tihe mauri ora!

Our scheduled Trust Deed Engagement Roadshow hui have been postponed until the new year.

This decision allows us time to gather additional information and insights before we meet kanohi ki te kanohi at the roadshow hui.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused. New dates will be announced as soon as possible.

Kāti, kia noho mai nā koutou i te pūāhurutanga o ō koutou kāinga maha. Hei te tau koroī kōreoreo anō ai he pānuitanga ki a koutou, ki a tātou.

He hau-a-uru ki tai, he hau-a-uru ki uta
Ngunguru ana ngā tai o Raukura ki Waikawa
Wawata, whatiwhati te tai pari ki te Marokopa o Ruapūtahanga
Hoki mai ki ngā tomo o Uekaha-nui-a-Kawa
Ko Taewa me Kaputuhi ki te take o Pukeroa te pū o te kupu
Ko Tākīwai kei te kōpū o Kōhanga
I tū te kupu nā Tanirau i te awatea ki Haurua
Ko te Korapatū ki runga nā Waimāpuna
Huia mai e rangi mā ki Te Kauae o Nu Tīreni
Huia te roimata, huia te manawa hotuhotu ki te takapou o te mate, e moe ē!

It is with great sadness that we mourn the passing of Ronnie Takerei.
Ronnie was dedicated to Te Whare Hau-ā-Uru ki Uta for the many terms he served Maniapoto Māori Trust Board, Te Nehenehenui and our iwi.

Haere e pā ki Moenga-rau, ki Moenga-rahi takoto āhuru iho ai i a Moenga-roa.
Mahue mai a Piki te ora ki tō pouaru; waiho mai a Piki-te-kaha ki ō uri e hikoia ō tapuwae ā muri ake.

Paimārire

He Pānuitanga ki te iwi:

Tēnā koutou, we wish to inform our iwi members that Matawhaiora tari will be closed apōpō, Monday 20 October as our kaimahi attend a tangihanga.

We will resume normal office hours from Tuesday, 21 October.

For any further enquiries, please contact the team at patai@tnn.co.nz.
