He whakaahua tēnei o T. W. Rātana nā Paula Novak i tā. Kei mua i a ia ko tētahi hereniama, ko tētahi Paipera me te Tiriti o Waitangi. E tohu ana te hereniama i tētahi putiputi nāna i tango i tana māra kia whakatō ki te Pāremata, arā ki te Whare Mīere. I mea a Rātana, tērā te wā ka huhuti ake ia i tētahi putiputi, ā, ko tana puehu ka pūhia ki ngā hau e whā, ka mutu he tohu mō ngā tūru Māori tokowhā ka riro i a Rātana ā tana wā.
E tohu ana te Paipera me te Tiriti i te kōrero a Rātana, arā, ko te Paipera ki tana ringa māui, me te tiriti ki tana ringa matau. He tohu tēnei ki tana arotahi ki ngā taha wairua, tōrangapū hoki. Kei tana pakihiwi matau ko te Temepara o Rātana, ā, kei runga ake ko te Whetū Mārama. E tohu ana te tae kahurangi ki te Matua, ko te tae mā ki te Tama, ā ko te tae whero ki te Wairua Tapu, me te waiporoporo mō ngā Anahera Pono. E tū ana a Taranaki kei runga ake o te pakihiwi mauī o Rātana, ā, kei raro iho ko te wairere o Te Rere o Kāpuni.
