Mārama te kite atu i ngā momo mauiui ka pā mai ki te tangata, mena kaha te kai i ngā kai hē, mena kaha te inu i te wai reka, ka pokea e te Mate Huka, he awangawanga tino nui mo ngāi taua te Māori me ngā iwi Moutere hoki.
Ko tā Ropata Martin of Ngāpuhi says , Ko te kaupapa o te rā nei ko te Mate Huka, mo ngā mate kai hikareti, mo ngā whanau whānui, awhi mai i ngā whanau o ngā community, ngā iwi, ngā hapu o Aotearoa.
Ko tā tētahi o ngā uri o Ngāti Paoa ko Te Aomārama Wirihana, “me titiro tatou ki ngā kai e kai ana matou ne, kia iti te kai mo tatou, kia pai tatou i roto i to tatou hauora.”
Neke atu i te 'rua rau, rua tekau ma rima' ngā tāngata o Aotearoa kua pāngia ki te "Mate Huka”.
Ahakoa ko Mangere tēnei e taikaha ana ki te tuku māramatanga ki to ratou hapori, ko te tumanako ia ka puta ngā korero, ngā tohutohu me ngā huarahi awhina, ki te motu whanui.
