Fleur Palmer
Ki te taha o tōku papa he tangata Te Tiriti o Waitangi ahau
Ki te taha o tōku mama, he uri ahau no ngā waka o Te Hiku o Te Ika
Ko Māmari rātou ko Mataatua, ko Matawhaorua, ko Tinana ōku waka
Ko Te Rarawa rātou ko Te Aupōuri, ko Ngāti Awa ōku iwi
Ko Tarakeha te maunga
Ko Moetangi te awa
Ko Te Tao Māui te hapū
Ko Matihietihie te marae
Ko Fleur Palmer tōku ingoa
