hautūtanga
1. (noun) leadership.
Haere atu, e te matua o te iwi Māori rāua ko te iwi Pākehā. Waiho iho ō iwi e rua ki muri nei tangi ai. I ēnei rā kei te hoki te whakaaro ki ō hautūtanga i roto i ngā marae maha o te iwi Māori puta noa i a Aotearoa rāua ko Te Wai Pounamu (TP 7/1906:9). / Farewell, father of the Māori people and the Pākehā people. Leave your two peoples behind to weep. In these days the thoughts return to your leadership in the many marae of the Māori people throughout the North and South Islands.
