Ka tanuku te tihi o Rangitūmau

E kapo ki ngā whetū, e kapo ki te marama,

E kapo ki te ata o taku raukura ka riro nei

Kei te kahurangi o te whānau Leach, kua ea ngā taumahatanga, kua tutuki pai au mahi ki te mata o te whenua. Waiho mā mātou te roanga atu.

Whaea Takare was one of the named claimants for Te Hika a Papauma o Wairarapa (WAI 939), hapū karanga rep for Te Ore Ore Marae, instrumental in the journey to settlement and a pillar of strength and support for Te Pātaka o Rongokako (Ngāti Kahungunu ki Wairarapa Tāmaki-nui-a-Rua Settlement Trust).

Please be advised that our office will be closed tomorrow (Friday, 25 September) as a mark of respect for whaea Takare and to allow kaimahi the opportunity to pay their respects and attend her service.
