E karangatia ana te Ope Hōia Māori Rua Tekau Mā Waru ki runga i te marae o Tūrangawaewae i te tau 1946. E whakaeke atu ana ngā hōia me te pēne i runga i te reo karanga me te reo pōhiri. Ko ngā kupu o te haka pōwhri e kī ana ‘Tōia mai, te waka. Ki te urunga, te waka. Ki te moenga, te waka. Ki te takotoranga i takoto ai, te waka’. I te mutunga, ka hongi, ka harirū anō ngā hoia ki ngā kaumātua nō Waikato. E mārakerake ana e hongi ana ngā tāne ki ngā wāhine, kāore e kihi. I ēnei rā ko te kawa o ngā marae maha ko te whakakāhore i te kihi.
