He nui ngā mahi a Four Winds mō taku tamāhine, ā, kua noho ia hei tangata hou. E mihi ana ahau ki ngā kaimahi katoa. E mihi ana ahau ki ngā kaimahi katoa i mahi tahi me taku tamāhine. Ngā mihi ki a koe e Four Winds. He tino kaiwhakaora ora koe."

"I noho tā māua tamāhine ki te hōhipera mō te tata ki te rua marama ki te Hōhipera o Four Winds, ā, kāore he kupu hei whakaahua i te mīharo o tēnei wāhi. Mai i te tīmatanga, i manaakitia mātou me te manaaki, te aroha, me te whakaute. He atawhai, he aro nui, he pono hoki te whakapau kaha o ia kaimahi i tūtaki mātou ki te āwhina i ngā tūroro kia ora."

"Kāore e taea te whakataurite te nui o te manaaki me te aroha e tukuna ana e te Rōpū Pakeke o te Lodge ki ā rātou tūroro. I tino aroha te tākuta o tā mātou tamāhine, i whakapau i ngā hāora maha ki te kōrero ki ngā mema o te whānau, me te whakarite kia whiwhi ia i te manaakitanga pai rawa atu. Ko te mea nui, i kite tana tākuta i a ia he tangata - ehara i te mate. I taku pātai atu ki tā mātou tamāhine mēnā kei te whakaaro ia kei te whiwhi ia i te maimoatanga motuhake, ka mea ia, 'Kāo, koinei te āhua o taku tākuta ki te katoa. Ko ia tonu.' He taonga pono ia."

He nui te wā i pau i a ia ki te whakarite kia whiwhi ia i te mahere tuku pai rawa atu me ngā taputapu e hiahiatia ana e ia mō te angitu mō te wā roa. I a rāua wā wānanga, i hono atu ia ki a ia, i āwhina i a ia ki te whakawhanake i ngā pūkenga me te whakapono ki a ia mō te whakaoranga."
– Matua, Hanuere 2026

– Matua, Hanuere 2026

I te wā e pouri ana taku tamaiti, ka waea mai tētahi mema o te kaimahi ki tō mātou whānau kia taea ai e ia te kōrero ki a mātou, kia whakamarietia hoki. I noho ia mō te wiki kotahi, ā, i taea e te tākuta hinengaro te whakatau i a ia me te whakarerekē i tana rongoā."
