Karakia

Thanks to those who attended the dawn ceremony on Friday 2 August, 2007. 

As the dawn broke the following karakia was said, while the first soil was turned and the Nikau palm below, was planted.

Tena te whenua ka nuku
Tena te whenua ka tahuri
Tena te whenua ka hou mai
Tena te whenua ka hahau atu
Te whenua e takoto nei
Te whenua e keria nei
Te whenua e takahuri nei ki te whaeao ki te ao marama
Takoto, tahuri
Homi e, Hui e, Taiki e
