He mihi maioha ki ngā wāhine toa o mua, ki ō tātou tīpuna wāhine — nā rātou ngā ara i tohua, nā rātou ngā kupu i kōrerotia, nā rātou tātou i whakahauora.

We honour the wāhine toa who came before us — those who carved the path, spoke the words that needed speaking, and kept us alive. Their voices do not belong to the past. They live in everything we fight for today.
