Aroha Pirere

Rangitāne, Ngāti Kahungunu ki Wairarapa

Tēnā koutou te whānau, i tipu ake au i raro i te maru o tōku paemaunga o Tararua i te taha o tōku awa o Ruamahanga.
I tae mai ōku tīpuna i runga i te waka o Takitimu.
He uri tēnei nō ngā iwi o Ngāti Kahungunu ki Wairarapa me Rangitāne hoki.
He tuhanga au no te hapū o Ngāti Moe.
Ka tāraroake ōku tīpuna i ngā pakitara o tōku wharenui a Hikurangi kei Papawai marae.
Ko Aroha Pirere tōku ingoa.
Nō reira tēnā koutou kātoa
