KaTitoAu(ToitūTeReo)

Kia kawea atu koe e te hekenga nui a te tohunga whakatere waka, a te kaihōpara rongonui o Te Moana Nui a Kiwa, a Kupe, i tēnei whakaari takitahi, he mea pohewa nui, nā te kaitito, nā te toikupu hoki, nā Apirana Taylor.

Ko Ka Tito Au hei whakanui i ngā mahi o nehe a te tupuna e whakaponotia ana e te tini, ko te tangata tuatahi rawa i tau mai ki tēnei whenua. He mea aro ki te whakapapa o Kupe, ki ōna hononga ki ngā moutere me te moana, ki tāna hekenga nui mā te waka Matahourua, otirā, ki tana whawhai ki te wheke kaitā, ki Te Wheke-a-Muturangi, kua hua i tēnei haerenga whakaharahara he toikupu taiea nā Taylor, he mea torotoro ki ētahi tini kōrero tuku hei kura tūhura mā tātou.

He pūkōrero ātahu, hūmārika anō, ka ora anō ia wāhi kōrero i te kaiwhakaari, i a Tola Newbery. Ka whakarākeitia ōna pūkenga whakaari inati ki te auahatanga o mohoa nei, otirā, ki ētahi waiata tawhito e pōkare ai ā-roto. Whakatōpūngia ana ko ngā kōrero tuku, ko ngā pakiwaitara, ko ngā tohu anō, ko Ka Tito Au tētahi tirohanga hōu ki te kōrero mō Kupe. He kura pūrākau me mātua wheako e te katoa.
