HERE IS A MESSAGE FROM MR McEWEN E nga iwi, e nga hapu, e nga reo, e nga huihuinga tangata, e noho mai na i runga i nga marae a o tatou tupuna matua, i te Ika-a-Maui me te Waipounamu whiti atu ki te Wharekauri, tena koutou, tena koutou, tena koutou. Tena koutou me o tatou tini aitua e hinga atu nei e hinga mai na i runga i o tatou marae maha, kua whetu-rangitia ratou no reira e nga mate haere, haere, haere. E aku rangatira tena koutou. Pupu ake ana te aroha, te hari me te koa i te puna o te ngakau no te mea kua whakawhiwhia ahau ki te taonga nei a i whai huarahi ai ahau ki te hoki mai ano ki waenganui i a koutou otira me penei ake kua hoki mai ano ahau ki te Ukaipo.

E raurangatira, ma ahakoa e akitia ana tatou e nga ngaru nunui e pupuhitia ana e nga hau kikino e uangia ana e te ua i runga i te ahuatanga o enei ra; hei aha atu: engari anga atu o tatou tinana me o tatou wairua ki te arai atu i enei mea e whakamamae nei i a tatou. Otira me tahuri tatou i runga i te rangimarie me te whakaaro kotahi ki te hanga i tetahi kaupapa kia au ta tatou noho a kia mahue tika iho o tatou uri whakatupu. E aku hoa rangatira me pehea ra e oti ai? Ma te noho? Ma te moemoea? Ma te wawata? Kahore! Ma te werawera; ma te puku mahi; ma te manawa pa, ma te ngakau tahi, me te manawanui e tupu ake ai te ora me te pai mo te iwi. Me penei ake te ki: ‘Nau te rourou, naku te rourou, ka ora te manuhiri.’ No reira e aku hoa awhi pono tatou ki a tatou, whakatikatika i a tatou ki te whakamatautau a kokiritia me te tohe tonu kia whiwhi tatou ki nga hua rangatira o te ao hou. Otira e te iwi taro ake nei ka kite a kanohi tatou a ka tae atu ta koutou mokai ki waenganui i a koutou kia taututaki tatou i runga i nga marae ki kona tatou mihi ai, poroporoaki ai ki a ratou ki te hunga kua mene atu ki te po a kia korero tahi tatou me te whakawhitiwhiti whakaaro ano hoki mo nga ahuatanga o te wa. Kei mea koutou he aroha kirimoko te aroha mo koutou, kao, no te whatu manawa tonu. Ma te Runga rawa koutou e manaaki mana ano hoki e whakato te purapura pai ki tena ki tena o tatou. Heoi ano, Na ta koutou mokai J. M. McEwen Tumuaki o te Tari Maori
