Rangitāne tangata rau, Rangitāne nui a-rangi. Tini whetū ki te rangi, ko Rangitāne ki te whenua.

I tipu ake a Te Matahiapo, (Safari rānei) i te whanga tapa nā tōna tūpuna, ā, ko Te Whanganui a Tara. He raukura ia nō Whakatupuranga Kotahi Kōhanga Reo i Pito-one, nō te kura reorua, Petone Central School hoki. He tauira ia ki Te Herenga Waka, e ako ana i te reo Māori me te ture Pākehā. E ngākau nui nei ia ki ngā āhuatanga katoa o te ao Māori, ko āna tino kai ko ngā kaupapa reo, Te Tiriti o Waitangi me te tino rangatiratanga.

Te Matahiapo (or Safari) was raised in Wellington. He is a raukura of Whakatupuranga Kotahi Kōhanga Reo and Petone Central School which was bilingual. He is currently a student at Te Herenga Waka. He loves everything in te ao Māori, especially kaupapa relating to te reo, Te Tiriti o Waitangi and tino rangatiratanga.
