Ngā mate

Again the mist descended on Te Upoko o Tahumatā and Te Rōpūake wept silently for her mokopuna George Skipper, who sadly passed away during the past month.

Uncle George will be missed at Poranui where he was well known for rama tuna skills. Our thoughts and prayers go to the Skipper/Kipa whānau and to all our whānau who may have lost a loved one this month.

Nō reira he aha te hau e pupuri nei, he hau nō te whare a Tūkainanapia, he hau e kawe mai nei te karaka a Tahu Kumea, a Tahu Whakairo, ā, ko te hau kaitakata tēnei hau kōheki, hitaratara tōku kiri i te rere o tēnei hau, nei te kākau mahara e taki tou mō koutou. Kāore hoki te aroha e kaikinikini i au, ka timu te tai ki hea? Ā ki Poranui, e rere ana ki te moana. Tāria roa, tē pari mai i waiho mokemoke mai, me he tōroa tīkapa e hāro ana e te Upoko o Tahumatā, tē hoki mai.
