Anei ko tā Pene mō ētahi o ngā kaumātua e haere ana ki Ratana Pa mō te kaupapa nui ki reira, "Ko te nuinga ō ēnei kaumātua e mōhio ana ko tēnei tō rātou haerenga whakamutunga ki Ratana Pa hēoi ko tō rātou hiahia kia haere mō te hemo tonu atu kia kaua e mate ki rō hōhipera i mea mai rātou tikina mai i ā mātou koira te whakapono ki te haerenga."
Anei ko tāna anō mō ngā mahi ā ngā pononga o te hāhi, "Ko tā mātou mahi he kaitiaki a he he pou kaihāpai i te rama, ko tā mātou mahi nui hei tiaki i te rama ehara nō mātou te rama. Ko tā mātou hei kaikawe hei whakapāpāho kia mōhio mai te ao whānui. I tatu mai ai te wairua mai i ngā rangi tuhāhā ki ōku tupuna inā kotahi rau ki muri, i kaha kōrero rātou i te tatunga mai o te Wairua Tapu ā i kowhiringia e ia i tētahi kaipāmu Māori hei māngai mō Ihoa ki runga i te mata o te whenua. Ko tana mahi nui kia whakakotahi i ngā iwi i raro i te maru ō Ihoa o ngā mano."
