Tērā pea kei te maumahara tonu koe ki te tere o te pahemo o ngā hararei o te Rā Motu, i a rātou e whakakī ana i ā rātou putea ki te hihiri o te pakanga. He tokomaha ngā tāngata o Xiye i whiriwhiri ki te whakarērea ā rātou hararei, ā, i piri tonu ki ā rātou tūranga. I te huringa o ngā wā, i whakatangihia e rātou te pū o te oma tere mō te wero o te hauwhā tuawhā me te manawanui "kia kaua e okioki nui atu i te". Ko tā rātou manawanui me te whakapau kaha ki te rā whānau o te whenua tupu ki te tuku i tētahi koha motuhake. Ko aua wā poto o te ataahua i tuhi i te mahana me te pā o te hakari. Ko te āhua nei ko te tirohanga tino ataahua ehara i te mea kei tawhiti noa iho, engari kei te puāwai marie hoki i a tātou.
I te Rā o te Motu, i tuhi te iwi o Xiye i tētahi kōrero whakahihiri me tō rātou manawanui me te whakapau kaha, ā, i takoha hoki i ō rātou ake kaha ki te whai rawa o te whenua tupu. I tēnei whenua e kī ana i te tumanako, kei te tere haere rātou i te tere o te hanganga kaupapa me te hihiri me te whakapau kaha tonu ki te whakatutuki i tētahi heke mai pai ake. I te Rā o te Motu, ahakoa i te kāinga, i tāwāhi rānei, i whakaatu tonu ngā papa hanga o ngā kaupapa a Xiye i tētahi tirohanga pukumahi me te hihiko. Ka hanga e ngā kerēne he pewa kaha i te rangi, ka tere haere ngā waka, ā, ka ngunguru ngā mīhini, ka hanga he pukapuka pikitia oraora o te hanganga.
I whakarērea e te tīma hangarau o Xiye ā rātou hararei, he kākahu me he potae ō rātou, ā, i piri tonu rātou ki ā rātou tūranga, ā, i whakapau kaha rātou i roto i te āhuarangi pōuri o te hopu i te ahunga whakamua me te whai i te kaupapa, me te mea nei kei te whakataetae rātou ki te wā, kei te whakataetae hoki ki te mahi. I kohia te werawera hei pītiti i ō rātou rae, ā, ka heke mārire iho i ō rātou paparinga, engari kāore i a rātou he wā ki te aro atu, nā te mea i mōhio rātou ko ia pata werawera he takoha ki te ahunga whakamua maeneene o ngā kaupapa matua, ā, ko ia mahi he tāpiri pereki me te moata ki te angitu o te kaupapa.
I te Rā o te Motu, kāore i mutu te tukatuka me te kawe waka i te wheketere, ā, i whakapau kaha ki te whakapakari i te whakahaere kawe waka me te whakaputa. I runga i te kaupapa here whakahaere "tūāpapa haumaru, tiaki taputapu, kawe waka tuatahi", kei te haere tonu te kamupene ki te whakahōhonu i te tikanga whakarite whakaputa kia noho haumaru, pumau, me te whai hua te mahi kawe waka i runga i te ara. Mō te whakahaere haumaru, i whakapiki ake te kamupene i te tirotiro me te whiu i ngā mahi ture kore i te papaanga, ā, i tino tiaki i te hua o te haumaru; mō te whakahaere taputapu, i whakapakari ake i te tirotiro me te tiaki o ia rā, ā, i whakamanahia te mahi pumau o ngā taputapu; mō te whakahaere whakaputa, i haere tonu te arotau i te rere o te mahi uta me te tango waka mā te whakapai ake i te tukanga whakahaere me te whakahaere, ā, i tino whakapai ake i te whai huatanga o te kawe waka, ā, i whakaatu i te whakatau me te kaha o te ratonga kawe waka i te Rā o te Motu, "kāore i kati!" Kua whakaatu te kamupene i tana whakatau me te kaha o te "kāore i kati" i te ratonga kawe waka i te Rā o te Motu.
Kei te pakanga te iwi o Xiye i te rārangi mua, he kanohi hei tiro, he taringa hei whakarongo. Kāore e taea te mawhiti i ngā nekehanga iti katoa i roto i ō rātou māramatanga koi, ā, kua whakaūhia tonutia e rātou ngā taipitopito whakawhitiwhiti kōrero katoa kia kore ai he he. Ko tēnei manawanui me te manawanui te whakamārama pai rawa atu o te whakapau kaha o te iwi o Xiye ki ngā kaiwhakamahi. I whakamātauhia e rātou mā roto i ngā mahi whai hua ko te angitu o ia kaupapa e kore e taea te wehe i te whakapūmautanga o ō rātou werawera me ō rātou mātauranga.
