Quote

Kare to peu e ko tei topa 'au ki muri.
Mari ra, ko te rave 'ia nei 'i teia 'atianga, e te ka rave 'ia i te au tuatau ki mua.
Ko tel peu tupuna, ko ta tatou i mua ana, 'i teianei, e ta tatou e umuumu nei.

Translates to: Culture is not just the past. It is the present and the future. Its is what we once were and what we strive to be. Geoffrey Arama Henry (1991)
