Mai ararā, mai ararā
Ka tau hā ki runga, ka tau hā ki raro
ka tau te āiō nuku, ka tau te āiō rangi, te āiō o Io Matua Te Kore
E tu ake ana te taumata korero e kiia nei, ko ngaa wehi ki too taatou nei atua a Io
Kia hora tona maarino I runga I te mata o te whenua, he whakaaro pai kia taatou katoa.... Tihei Mauri Ora!
Me huri atu taatou ki o taatou nei tuakana, ngaa kaitiaki tuturu o teenei rohe, teenei whenua, teenei kokona o te ao, ngaa iwi noo teenei taha o te whenua nui, Yugambeh, Jagera, Turrbal (Logan to Brisbane out towards Ipswich), Nunukul (Stradbroke Island), Joondaburri (Bribie Island), Ningy Ningy (Moreton Bay), Gubbi Gubbi (Sunshine Coast), Yagera & Ugarapul (Rosewood, Helidon), he mihi aroha, he mihi rangatira kia raatou, kahore he mutu.
Me huri atu taatou ki te ope tirama kua tini whetu atu ki te rangi, tangi kau tonu, tangi kau tonu, noreira, tukuna raatou kia okioki I runga I te moenga roa.
Aapiti hono, taatai hono, ko te aka o te rangi ki a raatou te hunga wairua
aapiti hono, taatai hono, ko te aka o te whenua ki a taatou te hunga ora
Tēnā tatou katoa.

-
Be Themselves: An environment that is safe, unobstructed, and uninterrupted.
-
Support Our Children: A nurturing space for the younger generation to connect with their heritage.
-
Teach and Practice Native Languages: A hub for linguistic and cultural education.
This dream is about building a sanctuary where our community can thrive and grow.
