Greetings to you, the hapū who hold the mana whenua over Aotearoa.

We, the kaiwhakahaere of Te Araroa, acknowledge you, your mountains, forests and rivers.

The flow of this beautiful trail meanders through your various rohe.

Therefore, it is our hope and job to support you in your objectives and dreams for the whenua.

We acknowledge you all.
