Ko tētehi whāinga o Puke Ariki, kia mōhio ai tātou ko wai tātou, nō hea tātou, kei hea tātou e haere ana?
Mai i ngā hau e whā ngā tāngata e tautoko ana, e kawe ana i te kaupapa me te mahi o Puke Ariki, ko te whai mātauranga te take.
Kei Ngamotu te whare nei, e rua ōna wāhanga, nā tōna nui me te noho ki runga tētehi pukeiti ka kitea whānuitia. Ka tū te whare ki runga i tētehi pā tawhito, pā tuturu nō mua, ko Te Puke o ngā Ariki tērā.
He momo whare hou tēnei ki roto o Aotearoa, tērā pea ki roto i te ao whānui. Mā te mātauranga e honohono te whare pukapuka, te whare pupuri taonga, me te whare manuhiri.
Ka tāpirihia ngā whare e rua, e tētahi piritī, pērā i te hononga o tēnei ipurangi ki ngā rauemi katoa e wātea ana ki te tangata. Mā tēnei momo hangarau, te rorohiko me te ipurangi, ka taea a Taranaki te hono ki te ao whānui, te ao whānui ki a Taranaki hoki.
Ahakoa te pakeke o te tangata, te iwi, he aha rānei he pai katoa tēnei huarahi ki te rapu mōhiotanga. Kei Puke Ariki ngā pakiwaitara me ngā korero aha noa atu hei whakanui i te hunga e noho nei ki roto o Taranaki.
Ko te tino arotake kia whakaputa ai, kia tohatoha atu ai i a tātou kōrero, whakapono, aroha mō tēnei wāhi. Ko tātou tēnei.
