E kore teenei whakaoranga e huri ki tua o aku mokopuna
Maaku anoo e hanga i tooku nei whare
Ko ngaa pou o roto, he mahoe, he patate, ko te taahuuhuu he hinau
Me whakatupu ki te hua o te rengarenga
Me whakapakari ki te hua o te kawariki
Teera anoo ooku nei hoa kei ngaa toopito o te ao
Ko ngaa huumeka, ko ngaa kaamura me ngaa parakimete
Ahakoa ngaa mano  huri atu i te haamarietanga, mahue mai ki au
Kotahi mano, E rima rau, rima tekau, tekau maa rua, ko ahau kei roto
Ko te Atua tooku piringa, ka puta ka ora

This proclamation by Kiingi Tawhiao was adopted by Te Wharekura o Rakaumanga as its Mission Statement which advocates self deliverance through self endeavour and perseverance. Our Mission Statement also takes into consideration Tainui’s role as kaitiaki of the Kiingitanga and Tainui’s commitment to people as their major resource.
