E tangi haere ana tētahi kuia, e pōwhiri haere ana i ngā manuhiri. He huatau. He tangi ki a Sonny Smith. Ka haere tahi te whaikōrero.

Ko te huakitanga o te whare i te 18 o Māehe. Ka rongo i te reo o te tangata e whakamārama ana i ngā tikanga marae.

Ka rongo i te mutunga o te waiata koroua. Ka whaikōrero anō tētahi ki a Te Arawa, nō reira rānei, nō te mea ka waiatatia te whiti tuarua o ‘E pā te hau.’

Ka whati te mautanga, ka huri ki te reo whakamārama. Ka rongo i ngā karakia Ringatū. Tuatahi, ka kōrerotia ngā pūtake o ngā karakia. Tokowhā ngā tāngata karakia.

Unedited recordings made at the opening of Tūtāmure wharenui at Ōmarumutu in 1960.
This recording contains speeches of welcome from the people of Te Whakatōhea and Ngāi Tūhoe to visitors from Whakatāne [and Te Arawa?]
It opens with a woman singing a waiata tangi [for Sonny Smith] and then whaikōrero from an unidentified male speaker. An unidentified man named "Bill" [possibly broadcaster Bill Kerekere?] gives a broad explanation of proceedings in English to broadcaster Alf Sanft who is recording the event.
[Break in the recording.]
Whaikōrero from an unidentified speaker and waiata kīnaki.
