I eke ngā rangatira mō āpōpō o Ngāti Kahungunu ki te atamira i te whakataetae a-rohe Manu Kōrero i tēnei tau.
Henrietta Hillman says, “It's a huge day today, we've got over 15 schools here, from Wairoa down to Wairarapa so that's about 300 students we've got here.”
Ko te whakataetae Ngā Manu Kōrero he whakataetae e whakatenatena ana i ngā tauira kura tuarua, kia whakapakari o rātou pūkenga whaikōrero i roto i te reo Māori me te reo Pākeha.
Hei tā Te Aranga Hakiwai, “Ki āhau nei kia mōhio ai a Ngati Kahungunu i nga whakaaro otira i ngā kupu o te taiohi o Ngati Kahungunu.”
E ai ki ngā pouako kei te tipu tonu tēnei o ngā whakataetae ia tau, ia tau. Kua rima tekau tau tēnei whakataetae e whakahaerehia ana, i tīmata tuatahhi i te tau kotahi mano iwa rau ono tekau mā rima.
