Ka tipare a Taranaki ki te raukawakawa, he tohu aroha nui ki te iwi kua ngaro.
Tēnā tātou, kua tae mai te rongo, kua tau te toki o Aitua ki runga i tētehi tangata i a ia ka hikoi ki runga i Pouākai he kura tangihia, he maimai aroha ki a ia me tana whānau tonu.
Taranaki iwi has declared a rahui on the Pouākai Range in Te Papa-Kura-O-Taranaki following a fatality this afternoon.
The rahui is in effect from today, Friday 20 March, until Monday 23 March at 2pm. It covers all of the Pouākai Range.
The rāhui acknowledges the death and expresses sympathy to the whānau of the deceased.
It provides time for tapu (sacredness) to dissipate following the fatality allowing time for healing and recovery of the natural elements at place as well as the people - in particular, the grieving whānau.
Visitors to Pouākai Range are asked to respect the rahui while it is in place.
