One of our tribal introductory chants is from our ancestor the tohunga named Ngātoroirangi when he landed at maketu after his journey from Haiwaiiki to Aotearoa, he said to the hosts welcoming him there:
Ka u ki matanuku
Ka u ki matarangi
ka u ki tenei whenua
Hei whenua te mau e kai te manawa o tauhou
I arrive in lands strange to me
I arrive with strange skies above
to the people of the land, I offer my heart as food for thee
Ngā mihi nui
