I tutaki au ki tana tāne i Māhitaone, ki te pā o Hiona, te pā o te whānau Haeata. He taumau te mārena i tutaki ai māua. I haere mai mātou ki te mau mai i taku tungāne ki konei.
Kua taumautia kē au engari ka tutaki au ki taku tāne. Nā taku tipuna tāne i whakapai taua āhuatanga. I āhua tauhou au ki te āhua o te noho tahi pēnei, ā ka pai taku noho ki reira.
I mahi tana tāne i te teihana, he kaha hoki ki te tohutohu i ana tamariki. Ka puta au ki te mahi i ngā mahi welfare league, mahi marae hoki, mahi i ngā show.
Tekau mā whā ā māua tamariki. E rua i mate, kotahi i mate i tana motupaika.
Ka kōrerotia te mau o te mako o tana tupuna i te whakaahua. He aha i pērā ai?
Ko Te Oreore te marae e mahi ana ia, rāua ko tana tāne.
Ko ana mahi i Te Toko i te Ora – i kite ia i te pai o ngā mahi Māori, te mahi kete, rourou, te taka kai, te mea keke ērā mahi katoa. He nui tonu ngā wāhine, e whā pea o te rohe o Māhitaone, tētahi i Kātataone, i Kereitaone. Ka haere mātou ki ngā conference ki ngā wāhi katoa – ko ngā wāhine ko ngā kuia ko Lucy Jacob, ko Wineera i Porirua, ko Kawa nō Fielding (i āwhina i a mātou).
Ko Kawa Kereama te kuia nei (e whakaahua nei), he kaha ki te āwhina i te league.
