Two spectators watching a Rugby Test Match at Eden Park; one commented to the other about All Black fullback George Nepia. Do you know his mother’s a Maori and his father’s Italian?
The second man, shaking his head in disbelief, replied;

whenua Maori. Me nui ke atu nga mahi me nga tangata mo nga mahi awhina oranga mo te iwi, no te mea he iti noa iho nga whenua Maori kei Tamaki nei.
Na reira ka nui ke atu nga mahi, me etahi atu mea kite Tari Maori i Wanganui, no te nui hoki o nga whenua Maori kei reira.
Ka mutu nga huihuinga nei
nga rohe e waru o nga Tari Maori, ka whakahokia atu ki te Minita o nga Take Maori.
Ki te whakaaro a Brownie Puriri, te Assistant Director o te Social Services o te Tari Maori i Tamaki nei, ka mutu tenei ripoata i Hepetema. E ki ana ko ia “Ko tenei take, na te whanau, no reira me waiho i waenganui i te whanau”.
