kotahitanga
1. (noun) unity, togetherness, solidarity, collective action.
Kei runga ko Hakaraia, he kaiwhakaako ia nō tērā iwi, ka mea, "Ko te take i puritia ai koutou, ko te kotahitanga o tō tātou tinana, otiia, ko te ingoa kau o te kotahitanga tāku i mōhio ai, engari mā koutou e tino kōrero mai; heoi tāku." (MM.TKM 30/9/1857:9). / Hakaraia, one of the teachers belonging to that tribe, stood up and said, "The reason you are detained is that we are united by relationship, however, it is the name only of being united that I know, but it will be for you all to express more fully how we are to consider ourselves united. This is all I have to say."
