Te Koukou - kia houhia te rongo | Reo Māori
Ko ngā tāngata kiritea me āna tohu nō ahurea kē ka noho manuhiri mai ki ngā iwi o te Peiowhairangi.
I tuku te punga o te waka a Cook kia tau tana waka ki roto i te Peiowhairangi i te marama o Noema, 1769. Māhirahira te aro o ngā tāngata whenua ki a Cook me āna kaihoe. Nā te wehiwehi o Cook i whakamahia e ia he rārangi ki te whenua ki waenganui i ngā rōpū e rua, hei tohu ki te iwi kia kaua e tata atu ki a rātou. Kīhae te iwi mōhio ki te tikanga o taua tohu, ko te oti atu…koinā te aronga o tēnei korero tuku iho.
