E ngā mana, e ngā reo, e ngā mata-ā-waka o te otu, tēnā koutou katoa.
Àpiti hono, tātai hono, koutou te hunga mate ki a koutou.
Àpiti hono, tātai hono, tātou te hunga ora ki a tātou. Tēnā tātou katoa.
Kei te tika te korero i o tatou tupuna;
He waka eke noa.
No reira, tēna koutou, tēna koutou, tēna tātou katoa.
Kia ora koutou
 Today we once again celebrated Matariki with an awesome hāngi at our Mt Albert site. The mihi above acknowledges all our people spread out across the country and people no longer with us. It picks up on metaphoric words from our ancestors recognising that we are all in one canoe together.
At Plant & Food Research we are committed to working together with iwi to grow and develop Māori business in line with the sustainable, social, environmental and economic aspirations of Māori.
