Mate koe i te aroha, tītiro ki Taranaki
He pūrei kohu, ko au kei raro e
Mate koe i te aroha tītiro ki Taranaki
Kite koe i te auahi, nāku i tahu ee
Kei runga i a Taranaki ngā puna wai mātao
Kei roto i āku kamo ngā puna wai wera ee….hai.

Ko ngā uri o Koro Taranaki e tangi tahi nei, ā ko Te Korimako o Taranaki e kō kō kōingo atu ai mōu te take e te tau, e Lola kua riro nei.

Ku’ tukuna atu ai ngā kōrero whakamahuki i te āhua o ngā whakaritenga mō Lola e Te Korowai o Ngā Ruahine. Nei Kua tāpirihia ake hei whakamōhio atu ki ōna iwi.

Kia ūhia te whakaaro aroha ki runga katoa i te whānau Katene i tēnei wā. 💜

“Poua anō koe te motu nei, te kī atu hoki mai ki ahau, he ara tāpokopoko te ara i haere ai koe!”

Tangihia te rangi ki runga nei,
Tangihia te papa e takoto nei
Tangihia te rau manomano tāngata, taku mate, taku mate, ki te rōpū tāngata kua riro
Auē, auē te mamae e!

Kei te pāranga o Ngā Ruahine nui tonu,
Ihorei o te manaaki
Iho Pūmanawa o te arohanui
Ko koe te whakatinanatanga o ngā tikanga ā kui mā, ā koro mā.

Taihoa tō haere, tāria te wā kia hoki atu rā koe e te piki kōtuku ki ōu ake, rātou e taukaea ana i a koe.

He roimata ua, he roimata tāngata, arā, ko ngā mahuetanga, ngā ihoihonga e whakarite ana kia uhia koe ki te korowai o hupe, o roimata.

Hoki mai e Lola, hoki mai ki ahau.

UIUI | HE AITUĀ, HE RĀHUI

Nei te reo o Te Aorangi Dillon, Tumu Whakarae o Te Korowai o Ngāruahine me ngā kōrero e hāngai pū ana ki Te Aituā me Te Rāhui ki runga i tō tātou tauheke maunga.

Ka tīpare a Taranaki ki te raukawakawa, he tohu aroha nui ki te iwi kua ngaro.

Tēnā tātou, nōnahi, i tae atu te rongo, i tau te toki o Aituā ki runga i tētehi tangata i a ia ka piki ki runga i tō tātou maunga, he kura tangihia, he maimai aroha ki a ia me tana whānau tonu.

Yesterday morning, Ngāruahine and Taranaki Iwi were saddened to learn of a recent fatality on Taranaki Maunga.

In response, both iwi together placed a rāhui on the Maunga to honour the mate (deceased) and to uphold tikanga.

Kaumātua, have placed a rāhui over the affected area, effective immediately. The rāhui will remain in place until further notice, ensuring the tapu is upheld at this time.

Boundaries of the rāhui:
Within Te Papakura o Taranaki from the Brames Falls track in the west to the Kaūpokonui River, as shown on the map.

We ask all who come to our Maunga to respect this rāhui, as we acknowledge and care for the departed and their whānau.

Kia mataara e te iwi, ki tau hoki ngā tōmairangi a rātou mā ki runga i a tātou katoa.
