注記2: 曲目解説p.2に「TRACK 3 CHANT:」「TE RA IA TE TAUTARA[下線付]」「HERE IS OUR HOME」「DURATION: 3'00"」「In ancient times the Maori recorded their history and genealogy in the form of chants as they had no written language and relied on memory. Not only were these chants taught to their children as history but they played an important part in the ceremonies of welcome, farewell, arming for war, inter-tribal visits, marriage, funerals and other important occasions. The performance of these chants required considerable breath control, the aim being to carry on for as long as possible without a break. This original chant tells the identity of the Te Whare Wananga group who come from the Waikato Tribal area and the words tell of the many important place names that are to be found in their district.」と記載(「[3に]赤丸印」「[Te Whare Wanangaに]下線」の書き込みあり)。曲解説「Track 3.
