Te iwi o Te Waipounamu
"He tohu tenei no ka iwi e noho mai nei i waekanui o te whenua nei
koia tenei ka ikoa o aua iwi.
Iwi ko Hawea, Iwi ko Waitaha, Iwi ko Mamoe, ko Awearaki
Ko nga iwi enei nana i pāhi tuatahi tenei motu a Te Waka a Maui.
Ko te ikoa o te waka,
Ko Uruao ko te waka tenei nana i pāhi tuatahi mai tenei motu."
