He rawe te noho mai o tā mātou kiritaki Pōtikī ki konei mō ngā kōrerorero mō te wheketere

I tētahi rā mahi tata nei, i haere mai tētahi kiritaki rongonui nō Potukara ki te toro atu ki tō mātou whare hanga, me ngā mema o te tīma pakihi matua. I manaakihia te manuhiri manuhiri e ngā kaimahi hokohoko me ngā kaimahi hangarau o tō mātou kamupene, ā, i whakahaerehia e ngā taha e rua ngā whakawhitiwhiti kōrero whānui, pono e pā ana ki ngā whakatakotoranga hua, ngā kaupapa whakaputa ritenga, ngā huringa tuku ota me ngā whai wāhitanga mahi tahi rautaki mō te wā roa i roto i te haerenga kotahi rā.

I te taenga mai o te kiritaki ki tō mātou tari me te wāhi wheketere, i ārahi tuatahitia ia e tā mātou tīma ki te tirotiro haere i te rohe tari mahi e whakaaturia ana i te whakaahua, ā, i muri mai ka tirotirohia katoatia ngā awheawhe whakaputa, ngā whare putunga rokiroki rauemi mata me ngā taiwhanga tirotiro hua kua oti. I te wā o te haerenga, i whakamāramahia e ā mātou tohunga hangarau ā mātou tukanga whakaputa paerewa, ngā pūnaha whakahaere kounga tino pakari me te whirihoranga taputapu atamai. I āta tirotirohia e te kiritaki Pōtikī ngā tikanga whakahaere taputapu, i pātai taipitopito mō ngā paerewa whiriwhiri rauemi me ngā kaupapa here ratonga muri-hoko, ā, i homai he urupare pai mō tō mātou taiao mahi ma, ngā tikanga whakahaere paerewa me te kounga hua pumau.

I ngā wā whakawhitiwhiti kōrero kanohi ki te kanohi i muri mai i tū ki tō mātou tari, i noho tahi ngā taha e rua ki te matapaki i ngā kaupapa mahi tahi tuturu. I whakaatuhia e tā mātou tīma hokohoko ngā otinga kua whakaritea kia rite ki ngā whakaritenga tiwhikete o te mākete Pākehā me ngā tono a ngā kaihoko ā-rohe, tae atu ki ngā hoahoa tawhā hua ka taea te whakarerekē me ngā mahere tuku nui ngāwari. I whakapuaki te kiritaki Pōtikī i ngā au o te tono mākete o nāianei i Pōtikī me ngā whenua Pākehā huri noa, i tuku whakaaro whaitake mō te takai hua me te whakaritenga tuku, ā, i whakaū i ngā hiahia tuatahi mō ētahi ota puranga. Nā te āhuarangi whakawhitiwhiti kōrero marino me te whai hua i whakatakoto he turanga kare ā-roto pakari mō te hononga mahi tahi mō te wā roa.

I hopukina te whakaahua rōpū hoahoa i roto i tō mātou tari kanapa i tēnei wā hui utu nui: i tū te kiritaki Pōtikī me ētahi o ngā mema wahine matua e rua o tā mātou tīma, e mau ana i ngā ataata mahana hei whakaatu i te whakawhirinaki me te tumanako pai mō te mahi tahi a meake nei. Whai muri i te mahi whiriwhiringa ōkawa, i whakaritea hoki e mātou he whakawhitiwhiti kōrero poto mō ngā kaupapa kawe waka whakawhiti-rohe, ngā tuhinga tautoko mō te whakakorenga tikanga me ngā tikanga taunga hangarau auau, me te whakatau i ngā āwangawanga maha pea o te kiritaki o tāwāhi i mua i te wā.

Nā tēnei haerenga kanohi ki te kanohi ki te wheketere kua whakawhāitihia te tawhiti ā-whenua i waenganui i ngā taha e rua, kua whakakorea te kore taurite o ngā mōhiohio, ā, kua whakahōhonu ake te mōhiotanga ki te kaha o te kamupene me te rapunga whakaaro ratonga o tētahi ki tētahi. I te wāhanga e whai ake nei, ka whai tonu tā mātou kamupene i ngā taipitopito ota kua whiriwhiria, ka whakatinanahia rawatia ngā herenga kounga me te tuku, ā, ka whakamahia tēnei whai wāhitanga mahi tahi hei tīmatanga ki te whakawhānui tonu i ngā mākete Pōtikī me ngā mākete whānui o Ūropi ki tāwāhi. E tino tumanako ana mātou ki te hanga i tētahi hononga mahi tahi pumau, wikitoria-toa mō te wā roa me tēnei hoa Pōtikī, me te tuku tahi i ngā hua taputapu ahumahi kounga teitei ki ngā kiritaki Ūropi me te tūhura i ngā āheinga tipu pakihi tahi a meake nei.
