Conrad Waitoa is my name. I have inherited the mana and dignity of my genealogy. My mountains stand proudly as my rivers ripple gently past. My marae has the reverences and warmth that allows me to be proud of my hapū and to stand tall amongst my iwi.
Nō reira tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou tēnā rā tātou katoa
