At the start of an online hui about growing native plants we recited this karakia:

Tuia ki te rangi, tuia ki te papa

tuia ki te moana, tuia tātou

E rongo te pō

E rongo te āo

Haumi ē hui ē tāiki ē

 

Bind to the sky, bind to the land

bind to the sea, bind the people

heard by those who have passed

heard by those of this world

Bind, gather, unite
