Kōrero Whakamutunga

The mihi whakamutunga is a farewell kōrero at the conclusion of a hui, or as in this example, at the end of the programme.

It is a chance for the speaker to express their thoughts, feelings, and opinions of the hui or what they have learnt or achieved.

This is my mihi whakamutunga.

E tu ana ahau ki te mihi ki a koutou.

E ngā mana, e ngā reo, e ngā kainiwha o tō tātou reo. Tena koutou katoa.

Kei ōku hoa mahi me ngā kaiako, kei runga noa atu koutou.

E tika ana te kōrero i ō tātou tūpuna.

Ki ōku whakaaro, nāu te rourou, nāku te rourou, ka ora ai te iwi.

Kia kaha koutou ki te kōrero Māori.

Nā reira

Mā te atua koutou e tiaki.

Tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou katoa.

whakataukī - Nāu te rourou, nāku te rourou, ka ora ai te iwi - With your contribution, with my contribution, we will sustain the people.
