Me tanu ki te rua kōiwi, me pūngarehu rānei, ahakoa te momo, he aha te tino tikanga i te wā o te tangihanga, ko te aroha, ko te manaaki i te whānau pani.
Kua puta te whakaaro i te tohunga nei a Pouroto Ngāropō o Mātaatua waka, me hanga rerekē kē a tō tikanga whakahaere i ō tātou tangihanga.Kia ngāwari ake ki te hunga kāore i tipu Māori ake nei i te ao, engari he hiahia nō rātou ki te whai tikanga e tika ai tā rātou i te wā o te tangihanga, ahakoa reo me te tikanga mai, ahakoa reo me te tikanga kore mai, rānei.
E ai ki a Pouroto Ngāaropō i toko ake te whakaaro i a ia, i te mea he ao rerekē tēnei e noho nei tātou ki tēnā a ō tātou tūpuna.
Anei te roanga ae o āna kōrero.
