Māori Health

E anga ake ana te titiro ki te tihi o Taranaki.
Koia hoki he tongi e tataki mai i te tangata i tua o kō atu.
Koia tēnei he reo maioha noa e tataki mai i a koutou ki tata o kō mai.
Nau mai e rarau ki tēnei kainga, ki tēnei rounga mahara ki te hunga ora,
e noho nei hei marae whakatakoto kōrero mā tātou.
Tēnā whakatau mai ki Taranaki nei, ki tēnei ahu hauora.
Taranaki whanui he rohe oranga.

Turning your gaze upon the peak of Taranaki.
Standing prominent a reference point for people travelling from beyond our region.
This acknowledgement also stands prominent as a reference point for you all who have come close.
Come forth and be settled within this environment, within this merging of ideas regarding life, functioning as open ground upon which statements may be made and heard.
Give consideration to this welcome of Taranaki, this pursuit of health.
Taranaki together, a healthy community.
