Kia mau ki nga kupu o ou tupuna, Whaia e koe ki te iti kahurangi, ki te tuohu koe, me maunga teitei. Toku reo toku oho oho He kakano ahau I ruia mai I Rangiatea
Hold fast to the words of your ancestors Seek the treasure you value most dearly; if you bow your head, let it be to a lofty mountain My language, my awakening I am a seed, scattered from Rangiatea
Wisdom and influence often come from our older wiser generations. They've expressed that if we want to seek valued treasures we should humbly look to someone who stands on higher ground than yourself. With the knowledge that you are a desendant of 'Rangiatea' (ancient Maori school of learning). The learning will awaken you and give adornment to your thoughts and wisdom to you language.
