Nā Hinerangitoariari (Winifred Margaret Belcher, nee Foley) o Ngāti Uenukukōpako o Te Arawa tēnei mahi toi. Ko Whiro tērā – te atua o te mate, o te tahumaero. E ai ki te Māori, ko te taha wairua te pūtake o ētahi o ngā mate ka pā ki te tangata. Ko Hinenui-te-pō kei waenganui i ngā kūhā o Whiro. Hei tā Hinerangitoariari, koia te ‘whāea o te mate’.
Ngā mihi ki a Winifred Belcher.
