Maata Hurinui 03. Te Noho ki Raumakomako

Kāore ratou he kāinga tūturu noho. Rāua tahi, ka haere i konei ki konā. Ka haere tōku whaea ki Kōpū-ā-whara, Raumakomako te ingoa o tēnā kāinga – noho ai.

Ka mahi he whare ponga mō mātou. Me ngā tank (pākehā tank). Up the number 4 camp, mauria¤ mai e taku pāpā - ka mahi he ahi mō ngā mahi kai i runga te – i waho – ka puta mai te mahana ki roto i te whare.

Ko tērā wā, kua haere ētahi o aku tungane, tuahine ki te mahi. Ko ahau kei te kāinga tonu, me Paraire¤, me te tuahine a Mateāpiti. Engari ko Rangi, kāo, whānau mai ia – ka tono taku – te tuakana o taku māmā [ka] mau ia ki Opotiki. Pērā tonu, tēnei o taku tuakana, a George, ko ia whānau mai, ka mau tētahi o mātou whānau a Maggie Peka.

[Greg: Ka noho koe ki a Raumakomako?]
Ka haere mātou ko ngā mahi kāri¤. I taua wā ko mātou katoa, me ōku kōkā¤ me ōna whānau, ka haere ki te mahi..

He pai te whenua mō te mahi kāri, mō tātou katoa. He kau, miraka kau kotahi anō me ngā hoiho, haere ki te toa, ki Opoutama.

[Greg] Kei reira te toa?

Ae.

[Greg] Me.. Me te kura hoki?

Me te kura.
