Composed by Wī Huata
Wi Huata wrote this song and taught it to his children whilst on a family gathering to Lake Tutira, north of Napier. He was explaining how the iwi came together here to support each other. Later he used this song to promote Moral Re-armament, uniting different cultures.
Waiata ā-ringa - Te Hokinga Mai
