Te Poari Whakahaere o Taupo-Nui-A-Tia

He Mihi - Welcome

E nga mana, e nga reo, e nga karangatanga maha, tena koutou, tena koutou, tena tatou katoa.

E tino kaingakau ana Te Poari Whakahaere o Taupo-Nui-A-Tia ki te anganui atu ki nga kokiritaanga mai o te wa, i roto i nga i mahi-a-iwi o runga te rohe o Ngati Tuwharetoa.  Kei te pu o te korero i runga ake nei e mau ana te korahi o aua mahi.  E tohu ana te korero nei nga mahi o te Poari e pa ana ki a Ngati Tuwharetoa me Tauiwi hoki.

The Taupo-Nui-A-Tia Management Board has a challenging role to fulfill in terms of its management responsibilities for the beds of Lake Taupo and its tributaries. The extent and significance of this work is reflected in the proverbial saying below of the Ngati Tuwharetoa iwi.  This saying will help guide the Board in its work on behalf of Ngati Tuwharetoa and the public.

He Whakatauaki - Traditional Proverb


"Whakarongo, Whakarongo! 

Whakarongo taringa ki te wiriwiri whenua o aku pae maunga tapu

Titiro!  Kei runga Te Rau Ahi o Ruaumoko. Te wanawana! 

Te wehiwehi!  Te tihi o Tongariro

Kei raro. E muri ahiahi nga wai tuku kiri o Taupo-Nui-a-Tia.

Te wai herunga o kui ma o koro ma kua wehe atu ki te po.

Ahaha! Toi Maunga, Toi Moana"


 

 


"Listen, listen!

Hear the shaking of the land, of my most sacred mountains

Look!  See the plume of Ruaumoko. The awe! 

The majesty! Atop the crest of Tongariro

Below. Past the eventide the cleansing waters of Taupo-Nui-a-Tia which bathed and beautified my elders long passed into the night.

But behold!  The mountains remain, the sea remains"
