Our hope and our plea

Who is Paua and who planted Paua’s seed? |
It is to be announced that NZNO and it’s Maaori
Organisation supported by the Board of Trustees
planted Paaua’s seed some time ago
Paaua has now grown into the platform where it
indicates strategies on how we may be able to go about
achieving a workable Bicultural Partnership in
NZNO and to a wider degree NZ where Maaori is the partner |

The song my wife and I sang was composed specially
for the Paaua Kaumaatua Corner Web site to be
launched Thursday 16 September and you are all
invited to visit the site to have your say, we would be
honoured be your participation. |
Lets recall the breathe of life of Taanemahuta
A the creation of the world we know
|
You have been riding upon the crest of the four winds
Today your vehicle has turned to our corner of the World
First and foremost let us seek treasures of old
And let us unite them together with treasures of today
to create healthy generations
Now let us climb the mountain and listen to the many
proverbs hallowed by the maiden of the mist
Then we will take a trip in to the forest and listen to
the birds talking the language of our ancestors |
Now let you and me dive this ocean, and view the
mussels, cockles and the many forms of life there.
Lets dive a bit deeper and view under rocks
There we will see sea eggs and paaua going about their
daily chores. Our ancestors came here to seek food,
for them, and especially Paaua |
|
Friends Paaua is the vehicle that will propel us
forward where we will Progressively Act in Unity and Aroha.
We are happy and honoured that you have arrive here
at the homestead of Paaua
Please read what Paaua has suggested
enter your thoughts about it’s development.
