Te Pito Kōrero

Ngā mihi aroha kia koutou te whānau o Ngāti Tama i roto i nga āhuatanga o te wā Kirihimete me te taenga mai o te tau hou. Ko te tūmanako mo tātou kia hari pai ngā whare katoa me ngā kakara pai ka puta i ngā kīhini. Me te pukukata kaha ka puta i ngā kokonga o te whare. Haere pai ki runga i nga rori me ngā haerenga katoa. He mihi nui rawa tenei kia koutou mō te awhi me te tautoko ki a matou ngā kaimahi. Me mahara tonu tātou, mei kore ko koutou, me kore ko matou. I mahi tahi ai tātou katoa ki te hāpai i ngā wawata, me nga whainga o Ngāti Tama whānui. Nō reira, tenei ngā mihi e kore e mutu

Christmas message

As we near the end of another year, The Ngāti Tama Ki Te Waipounamu Board & Staff extend our love and gratitude to all our whānau. Your untiring support, encouragement and strength has allowed us as Ngāti Tama whānaui to further build on the dreams and aspirations of our tupuna and the upcoming generations of Ngāti Tama leaders.

Our hope over the festive season is that your homes are filled with love, with laughter and the tantalizing aromas of Christmas and New-year feasts. May you travel safely in your journey’s and return with precious memories.

No reira Meri Kirihimete, ma te atua hei manaaki.
