He mea hanga tēnei pūru whakamīharo i ngā tīni mīti kau mino tote!

Kua hokona atu e Aotearoa ngā pisupo, he mīti hā tote rānei, ki Te Moana-nui-a-Kiwa mai anō i ngā tau mutunga o 1800. Nā, he mea kai he mea koha atu rānei i ngā hui motuhake. Heoi he nui rawa te hinu me te tote, ā, he take o ngā mate.

Ko te kupu a te ringatoi, a Michel Tuffery: ‘E kōrero nei taku ōkiha mīti kau hā tote ki ngā pānga a te tauhoko a te ao me te ao ōhanga a tauiwi ki te ao a-Kiwa.’ He tino take iāianei tō ngā rawa o tāwāhi ki te ao a-Kiwa, engari e herehere ana ngā hapori ki ērā.

Nō muri i te mahinga i tēnei whakapakoko i te tau 1994, e rua atu ngā kau whakaneke rite te āhua i waihangatia ai e Tuffery i pakanga i Te Ngākau Civic Square!
