"E ao te taonga ko te reo o ngā mātua, kia mau ai ā rātou kupu, ngā rerenga, me tō rātou momo kōrero Māori."

 

I whānau mai a (Edward) Haimona Snowden i Ahipara i te tau 1914. He rangatira ia nō te iwi o Te Rārawa. I whai pānga hoki tēnei kaumatua ki ngā karangatanga o Ngāti Whātua. I uru atu ia hei bombardier ki te Tauārangi Roera o Aotearoa i te wā o te Pakanga Tuarua o te Ao. He kaitito waiata hoki ia, he kaikōrero ki runga i ngā marae puta noa Te Taitokerau, a, he tangata i tino mōhio ki ngā tikanga o te haukāinga. I mate ia i te tau 1998.
