Ko tōna rima rau ngā pākihi iwi taketake ka whakakanohi i ngā whenua rua tekau mā rima neke atu ki Rotorua a te Whiringa ā Nuku. Ko Andrew Carrier o Te Kāhui Pakihi Iwi Taketake o te Ao kei Aotearoa nei i tēnei wā e whakatikatika ana mō taua huihuingā ā-ao.
Mā te mihi ki te whenua, ka whai hononga a Andrew Carrier ki ngā iwi taketake katoa o te ao.
“He ao whānui tēnei, e tāea ai tātau te hono, ā, koinei wā tātau mahi.”
Hei tē Whiringa ā nuku ka tū te hui a te kāhui pakihi Iwi Taketake o te ao ki Aotearoa, he kaupapa kua tū ki ngā wāhi pēnei i te āporo nui, Hawai'i me Chile.
Hei tā te Kaikōrero o Te Ohu Whai Ao a Richard Tauehe Jefferies, “Kei te timata te puawai mai o ngā kaipākihi tāngata whenua puta noa i te ao.”
E ai ki a Carrier, “Me whakanui i o tātau mahi ma te hapai i ngā iwi taketake, hapori iwi taketake hoki.”
Nō tērā tau, kotahi mano, kotahi rau ngā pakihi Māori i ara ake. E ai ki ngā tatauranga o te tari hīkina whakatūtuki, whā piriona tāra te wāriu o a tātau pakihi Māori. Hei tō Richard Jefferies ma tēnei huinga e kotahi ai, e hono ai i a tātau ki ngā whanaunga iwi taketake
Hei tā Jefferies, “He rite tonu ngā wāriu, ahua rite tonu ngā tikanga o tēnā iwi, o tēnā iwi. Nō reira kei reira anō tētahi huarahi pai mo tātau.”
