Tena ra koutou e ngā uri o Ngāti Mākino,

He mihi tēnei ki a koutou katoa i whakakanohi i ou koutou, otira i ou tātou whānau ki tō tātou Rā Hauora katahi ano ka hori. Na to koutou taenga mai i ea ai te kaupapa.

Kai ngā ringa raupā i tae mai hei tautoko i te kaupapa, Poutiri Trust, Triton Hearing, Tino Kai, Krissie, Karen, Sonia kōrua tahi ko Geoff otirā kai to tātou tuahine a Te Oriwa. Katahi te rā te kounga o ā koutou nā mahi, o ā koutou nā kōrero. He whakapiki wairua, he koanga ngākau tā te marea i te otinga atu. E kore te puna o aroha, o mihi e maroke i te rā.

Kai ngā ringawera o te rā, Joseph koutou ko tō kāhui, kaore e kore i puta a pito, i hākoakoa katoa a ngākau na te reka o ngā kai i whakaritea e koutou. Me mihi ki a koutou kā tika me te mōhio, ahakoa ki tēhea marae tae atu koe, ko te kounga, te kore kounga rānei o ngā kai ka noho mātāmua ki te hirikapo, ā, kei taumata ano ēra o ngā kai e hoa mā.

Kai tō tātou kapa o Ngāti Mākino, no mātou te maringa nui i piri mai ano koutou me tō iwi. Poho kererū katoa ana te iwi i te kitenga atu i a koutou e whakangāhau ana i te iwi. Ko te tūmanako a tōna wā. Ko koutou tērā ka noho hei kapa whakataetae ki ngā whakataetae ā rohe.

Hei whakatepe i ēnei o ngā mihi, ka tīkina ake au i tērā o ngā kōrero “Ki te tika a muri, ka tika hoki a mua”. No reira ki a koutou e te whānau o te marae o Ōtamarākau me te kāhui o Ngāti Mākino Iwi Authority. Kia mōhio mai koutou, kaore tēnei rā i eke na te mahi a te taki tahi, engari na ngā mahi a te taki tini. Ko koutou i ūpoko pakarū, ko koutou te take i eke ai tēnei Rā Hauora ki tōna taumata.

Nā mātou te iwi o Ngāti Mākino Iwi Authority

Tena ra koutou e ngā uri o Ngāti Mākino.

Tsunami WARNING

 Updated on 5 March at 12.04pm

Just a reminder that coastal areas WEST OF MATATA should expect strong and unusual currents and unpredictable surges near the shore. This means a threat to beach, harbour, estuary and small boat activities. People MUST stay out of the water (sea, rivers and estuaries). STAY OFF beaches and shore areas. There's a danger to swimmers, surfers, people fishing, small boats and anyone in or near the water close to shore.

If you have whānau that have been asked to evacuate following this morning’s magnitude 8.1 earthquake, please remain evacuated until the warning has been lifted. In the Bay of Plenty this covers those in low lying areas EAST of Matatā – including Whakatāne and Ōpōtiki.

Keep an eye on www.civildefence.govt.nz for the latest information.
