Hînana ki uta, hînana ki tai
Hînana ki uta, hînana ki tai

Inâ râ Te Heuheu, whângai i te makiu
tikanga mau tonu, heke iho, tapu.
Such was the great storage house o Te Heuheu, which fed visitors from near and far, of all ethnicities. An ancient custom of the Maori, still adhered today, still sacred.
