Āku mihi. Ko wai tēnei, Ko Te Ata o te Rangimarie Heka tōku ingoa, he uri tēnei o Rangitāne ki Tāmaki Nui a Rua, he uri hoki tēnei o Ngāpuhi, Te Aupouri ano hoki. No Tāmaki Nui a Rua ahau, i kuraina au ki Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Tāmaki Nui a Rua, ēngari i ngā tau tata nei i puawai au ki Te Kura a Iwi o Whakatupuranga Rua Mano ki Ōtaki. Koia taku koroua tupua a Albert Ranga Heka, i wepua i te pakanga nui o te ao. No Te Kao ia, ā no Te Kao hoki au, me tōku whānau. “Ma te kahukura ka rere te manu” Kua tae atu ahau, ki te taumata kia whakarerea i au ki to tātou ao Māori, kei warea! Mihi nui ki a koutou ngā ongekamehameha o te reo Māori.
