Master Weaver:

Master weaver, you are the creator and we are the flax with which you have plaited Te Pouhere, a whariki which unites our Tikanga in Aotearoa and across Te Moananui a Kiwa; your hand has woven us so that each Tikanga is revealed in the perfection of its design, its pattern in the texture of our differences, and its strength in the unity of its purpose to shelter and support your promise; remind us you have woven us so that no strand by itself reveals your design, but together we are the whāriki, Te Pouhere. Amen
