Whakatāne District Council Careers – Mana Rapuara o Te Kaunihera ā-rohe o Whakatāne

Hūtia te rito o te harakeke, kei hea te kōmako e kō, kī mai ki ahau,

He aha te mea nui o te ao, māku e kī atu,

he tangata, he tangata, he tangata.

Take away the heart of the flax bush and where will the bellbird sing?

If you ask me what is the most important thing in the world,

I will tell you it is people, it is people, it is people.
