Name of Hapū: Ngāti Tuera/Ngāti Hinearo
Tīhei mauri tū,
tū ki runga.
Ki te whai ao, ki te ao mārama,
Ka rongo te pō, ka rongo te ao.
Mai i te kāhui maunga ki Tangaroa,
Kua mōhiotia e te ao whānui,
i tona otinga atu e kii nei,
‘ko au te awa, ko te awa ko au’.
O tātau mate huhua o te wā,
Na kautau te mānuka i whuia ki te papa
Ma mātau e hiki, otirā, ma tātau katoa.
Tēnā kautau me ngā mihi, kia ora rawa atu tātau katoa.
