PUKEHINAHINA ROTAROTA

KA WHAWHAI NGā TOA Māori mo to ratou whenua.
Ka puhia te iwi pākeha ki ngā iwi Māori.
Ka tangi mokemoke ngā kāroro I te rāngi.
Whenua Māori hoia Pākeha.
Ka hakahaka te iwi Māori me o nātou taiaha.
Mate atu mate mai ngā iwi e rua.
Ka whawhai mo te whawhaiatu mo ngā whanau o ngā Māori.
KA WINI NGā Māori I te Pākā tuatahi.
