Piri mai, ka tuku ai i ō koutou reo kia rere ki ngā tini tōpito o Tāmaki Makaurau hei tohu i te tīmatanga mai o ētahi wiki e toru e rewa ai te ngākau i te ao toi, i te ahurea, i te whakanui, otirā, i te kotahitanga.
Kia piri tātou ki a Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei nō rātou ka ārahi i te whakarewanga o te hui Ahurei 2021 ki te karakia, ki ngā tikanga. Waiata tahi ki a Pere Wihongi rāua ko Maaka Pohatu me ētahi waiata Māori nō tō tamarikitanga – ko ‘Pōkarekare Ana’ tērā, ko ‘Tūtira Mai Ngā Iwi’ tērā, ko ‘E Pāpā Waiari’ tērā, ā, me te maha noa atu!
