Alive and thriving

To Hone, Mana and the multitude of supporters, Maori, European and Oriental, both practical and in spirit, grateful thanks are hereby offered.

An observer has stated that some political parties may be unwilling to ever share power with Maori, but be assured that day will come.

Already the 'sapling' toward that end is alive and thriving. Tane Mahuta too was once a sapling. Remember, success is not the birthright of the few but will come to all those who will invest sufficient effort, dedication and tenacity into a worthwhile goal.

Na reira e homa kia maia, kia kaha, kia manawanui. Ko te tae mai ano te ra e toa ano tatou.
