Tēnā tātou.
He uri tēnei nö Ngāti Pākehā, nö reira kārekau he maunga. Kārekau he awa, kārekau he moana.
Engari he uri tēnei i tipu mai i te one whero o Papakura.
He kaimahi o te hapori ahau. E tū mai nei ahau, ki te tautoko, me te atawhai i te hapori.

Adrienne Godfrey
Trustee
Piki ake i te maunga rangatira a Tongariro
Kite i ngā whakarei o te waka Te Arawa
Kī rawa ngā tangata ko Te Heuheu
Nō te iwi Ngāti Tūwharetoa
E rere ana te moana mārino a Taupo nui a Tia
Ki te whenua kura o ngā tīpuna e tū ai te marae o Kauriki
Te whakaruruhau o te hapū ko Hinemihi
Ko Adrienne Godfrey ahau
