Kei tēnei wā kāore anō mātou te rōpū nei kia kamupene tūturuhia.
Ko te kaupapa matua o te rōpū nei kia mana Māori ai i te Ipurangi, ā, ki te kōkiri hoki i ngā take Māori ki roto i nga whakahaerenga ipurangi o te motu. Pōwhiri ana mātou i ngā kaituhi ipurangi Māori katoa, ngā kaiipurangi me ngā kaitautoko i te kaupapa. Hei tira Māori hoki mātou mō Ngāi Māori katoa ahakoa kei Aotearoa kei tāwāhi rānei.
