⭐️⭐️⭐️He taonga tuku iho⭐️⭐️⭐️

E rere ana ngā mihi ki ngā ringa maha i whakatutuki i tēnei kaupapa whakamīharo.

Kāore e mimiti ngā mihi ki te Kaunihera o Pōneke mō te wā i whakapaua e koutou ki te whakarongo, ki te mahi tahi, ā, ki te whakawhenua i tō mātou pāpā. Ka noho tonu tēnei hei taonga mō ngā uri o ngā reanga e heke mai. He mutunga kore te mihi ki a koutou.

Ka mihi hoki ki te mana whenua, Te Āti Awa, i ārahi i ngā karakia ki te whakawātea i te huarahi mō tēnei kaupapa whakahirahira hei whakahihiri i te wairua o te marae me te whānau anō hoki i tēnei wā.

On behalf of Tapu Te Ranga Marae, we would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone involved in the completion of this project.

A special acknowledgment to Wellington City Council for your hard work and dedication. Your incredible support throughout this project has been invaluable.

We also extend our deep gratitude to the mana whenua who led the whakatau and karakia.

This project stands as a symbol of connection, unity, and kotahitanga, and we are honored to see it completed in a way that reflects the legacy of our marae and whānau.

“Mā te mahi tahi, ka taea”
Through many hands we will succeed.

Ngā mihi maioha ki a koutou katoa,
Nā te whānau o Tapu Te Ranga Marae.

Hauled up the slopes of Tawatawa and installed in 1981 — Yesterday we witnessed the continued history of the Pou, as the masterpiece was unveiled after being lovingly restored by whanaunga and original artist Matahi Whakataka-Brightwell and his daughter Ariki.

A privilege to share space with Ngāti Toa whānau, the Whakataka-Brightwell whānau, members of the WCC as well as many other members of our hāpori in celebrating our shared history.

Mā pango, mā whero, ka oti ai te mahi.

❤🤍🖤
