Great sadness is upon us.

Have pity on us.

Departed to the after-life,

Leaving us grieving.

Have pity on us.

ABOUT MYSELF

‘Kui! Kui! Whitiwhitiora!’ [The cry of the shining cuckoo.]

This edition marks the fourteenth year our pet has been flying to the many marae carrying news. It is an appropriate time to go back and think about how things were before and to point out the kinds of things that need to be done in the times ahead. This treasure of ours has for a long time been going around our marae, therefore it is right that we should assist him to accomplish his work. The people who cared for this treasure have vanished from our sight, therefore it is for us to enthusiastically support what they have bequeathed to us.
