E te Kiingi, kua moe ō kanohi,
Kua ea te wāhi ki a koe i runga i te mata o te whenua,
Haere koe ki a rātau e tiaki mai nā mou,
Ko mātau tēnei te Iwi kai roimata,
Haere haere, oki oki atu rā.
The Board and staff of Te Ohu Kaimoana wish to acknowledge the sad and untimely passing of Kiingi Tūheitia Pootatau Te Wherowhero Tuawhitu.
We send our deepest condolences to Te Makau Ariki, Te Atawhai, his children Te Whatumoana, Korotangi, Ngā Wai Hono i te Pō, his grandchildren, Te Kāhui Ariki and Waikato-Tainui.
