Introduction
Hey, I have spent most of my life down in the north island of New Zealand but have recently moved to Oregon, I am 1/4 Maori and belong to the Tuhoe iwi.


Kia ora.

Kia ora bro!

Welcome.

I am 0% Maori, but Parihaka is the original McCoy!

Kia hiwa ra ! Kia hiwa ra ! kia hiwa ra i tenei tuku !
Kia hiwa ra i tera tuku ! Kia hiwa ra ! Kia hiwa ra !

E nga waka. E nga hau e wha. E nga mana. E nga iwi.
E nga manu korero o runga i nga marae

Whakarongo ! Whakarongo ! Whakarongo !


Ki te tangi a te manu e karanga nei "Tui, tui. tuituia !"
Tuia i runga, tuia i raro, tuia i roto
Tuia i waho, tuia i te here tangata

Ka rongo te po, ka rongo te po
Tuia i te kawai tangata i heke mai i Hawaiki nui
I Hawaiki roa, i Hawaiki-pamamao
I hono ki te wairua, ki te whai ao, ki te Ao Marama.

Tihei Mauriora!

E nga iwi o te ao katoa
Haere mai, haere mai, haere mai.

Haere mai ki te whenua o Aotearoa
Haere mai ki te ao Maori


Ko tenei te mihi atu ki a koutou katoa o te ao
Ko tenei te mihi aroha ki a koutou

I hope that is how the welcome goes in NZ!

Even though we have been subjected to Parihakas despotic 'moderating', we still welcome Kiwis to our eclectic band. Join the electronic fellowship of WAB
