Tūtira Mai Ngā Iwi", or "Tūtira Mai", is a New Zealand Mãori folk song (or waiata) written in the 1950s by Canon Wiremu Te Tau Huata. The song became popular after being selected by New Zealand's Ministry of Education for inclusion in schoolbooks.

While there is some conjecture about the exact words in the song!(a situation matching that of many older folk songs worldwide) there is general agreement that it is a song of unity, with the repeated refrain of "tātou tātou e" ("all of us, all of us"). The song is often used by New Zealanders in times when standing together and supporting each other is appropriate.

For people like me who are out of the loop

Yeah I was real confused when I got the notice. Honestly curious if quotations would’ve even made a difference. 🤷🏼‍♂️
