"Nga mihi ki a koe Kai. Ae ra, te Tane purotu me ona whakapapa korero. Te Ta Moko mona hei tautokongia ona motuhaketanga i raro i te maru o tona kawai whakapapa. Kia whakatau i te Tane nei me mau ia te Ta Moko. He kaupapa whakahirahira h...ei hapaingia hei kawea te taonga o kui me koro ma.
Mahalo nui loa e Kai. It is indeed ...an eclipse of Chiefly BEingness to behold. A Man at peace in His Sacred BEing wearing the face of His Ancients and Ancestors as his Chiefly cloak of journey." - Ngaroonoa Mereana Taki
