Downloadable slip reads: This card is a ‘kāri mihi’, or an acknowledgement card, and can be used in a lot of different contexts. It draws on a well-known proverb: “whāia te iti kahurangi ki te tūohu koe me he maunga teitei”, meaning “pursue the highest clouds, and if you are forced to bow, let it only be for a lofty mountain”. The front of the card is comparing you, to the great mountain, and the inside the card is acknowledging you and/or your work by using the metaphor of bowing. Now that’s how you say thanks!
