TE WAKA MAORI O NIU TIRANI.
NOTICES AND ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS.
——————»——————
E hiahia ana matou kia whakaturia etahi tangata tika hei
whakahaere i te hoko o te Waka i nga takiwa Maori Ko te
tangata e pai ana me tuhi mai ki te Etita kei Turanga nei, me
te whakaatu mai i tana utu e pai ai ia mo taua mahi—ara te
herengi mana i roto i te pauna kotahi.
He mea atu tenei ki nga tangata tuhituhi mai, me utu e ra-
tou te meera mo te mauranga mai o a ratou reta, ara me wha-
kapiri nga upoko Kuini e rite ana, ka kore, e kore e tangohia e
matou aua reta.
Ko nga tangata o te takiwa o Waipiro e hiahia ana kite tango
i tenei nupepa, me haere ki a J. A. Hatingi, Pakeha o reira.
Ko ia to matou hoa, mana e whakaatu nga tikanga katoa ki a
ratou, mana hoki e hoatu nga nupepa ki nga tangata.
Kua rongo matou e Mia ana e kore rawa e whakaorangia ake
te Wananga kua mate nei. Inaianei, ko te Waka anake te
nupepa kei nga Maori e rongo ai ratou ki nga korero nui o te
moto mo nga tikanga e ora ai, e aha ai ranei, ratou; ko te
Waka anake te nupepa nei whakapuakanga ma ratou i o ratou
whakaaro me o ratou mate ki te ao. Ne konei matou ka kii, Ma
kaha koutou te tautoko i te Waka, ia tangata ia tangata, hei
oranga me koutou, mo te Waka ano hoki. E ora noa atu i
nga Maori o tenei motu he nupepa e mahia ana ki to ratou reo
ano hei awhina i a ratou, a ki te mea e rite ana to ratou
ki ta ratou nupepa. Inaianei ko nga Pakeha kai te
tautoko i te Waka i ora ai. engari te mea ma-
tauranga ki ta matou e whakaaro nei, ka tautoko ano ratou
tika ma nga Maori ake ano e manaaki i ta ratou nupepa ka
motu ke i te iwi Pakeha. Ki te mea ka pae ano te Waka ki
uta a muri ake nei i te kore oranga mona, hei reira te pouri ai
nga Maori, te kite ai i te he o to ratou whakaaro kore—kite
rawa ate kua " tureiti. " Kaore hoki he tangata e tahuri ki te
mahi i tetahi atu nupepa i muri iho mo te iwi manaaki kore.
Engari e pai ana kia kaha ratou katoa ki te kohikohi moni
—te Hikipene a tenei, te herengi a tera—e ora ai te WAKA, e
toa ai hoki te whakapuaki korero mo te taha ki a ratou, e kore
ai hoki e wehi ki nga mahi a etahi tu Pakeha o te motu e tohe
nei kia whakatika te WAKA kia mate. Ma nga rangatira o nga
hapu e whakahau kia manaakitia tenei taonga.
Te Waka Maori.
TURANGA, HATAREI, PEPUERE 1, 1879.
Na te kapi o te nupepa i kore ai he korero ma matou i tenei
wiki mo nga tikanga o te takiwa o Waikato; engari hei tera
wiki te hoki ai matou ki taua korero.
REWI RAUA KO TE MINITA MAORI.
Ko tenei korero mo te kitenga a te Minita Maori
raua ko Rewi i a raua i Puniu i Kihikihi he mea
tuhituhi mo te WAKA. MAORI na tetahi tangata Maori
matau i tae ki aua hui. I whakakitea ano ki a Rewi,
a i whakapaingia e ia, mea ana kia taia ki te WAKA
MAORI.
Puniu, 4 Hanuere, 1879.

Responsible agents are required for the sale of the Waka in
Native districts. Address applications, stating terms, to the
Editor at Gisborne.
We beg to inform our correspondents that we shall
not receive letters for publication unless the pottage be
prepaid.
Subscribers and others intending to become so in the neigh-
bourhood of Waipiro Bay, can have their papers, and obtain all
information respecting advertising, &c., on application to our
agent there, J. A. Harding, Esq.

We hear that there is no probability of the Wananga being
resuscitated. The Waka is now, therefore, the only means
which the Natives possess of obtaining information on public
questions affecting their interests, and of giving expression to
their opinions thereon, as well as making known their
grievances. This being the case, we hope, for their own sake
as well as ours, they will support it liberally. The Natives of
this country are well able to support a paper published in their
interest and in their own language, and if they have the
intelligence for which we give them credit they will do so.
The Waka at present is largely supported by the European
population, but the Natives ought to support their own paper,
independently of the Pakehas. If the Waka should again be
wrecked from want of support (which however, we do not
apprehend) the Natives will find out when too late, that they
have made a mistake. It is very unlikely that anyone would
ever again start a paper for a people who will not pay. We
trust, by liberally subscribing, they will place us in a position
to speak out boldly in their interests, without fear of the
influence which a certain section of the Pakehas may bring to
bear against us. Let the chiefs of the various hapus see to it.

GISBORNE, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 1879.
WE regret that, this week, we are unable to continue our
comments on affairs in the Waikato: but we shall return to
the subject next week.
REWI AND THE NATIVE MINISTER.
THE following reports of the meetings between the
Native Minister and Rewi at Puniu and Kihikihi
were written for the WAKA MAORI by an intelligent
Native who was present at both meetings. They
were shown to Rewi, who approved of them and
desired to see them published in the WAKA MAORI:
Puniu, 4th January, 1879.
The following are the words of Manga at Puniu—
I ask about (or for) the Waitara letters: three
letters which gave rise to predictions of evil, and
men said I had joined myself to Grey. Hearken, all
of you—I am not aware that I am identifying my-
self with the policy of the present Government.
Let not any man say that Mr. Sheehan induced me
to come here. It was my own business which
brought me to this place. Here is another word
which I have to speak now that I have returned
hither from Waitara. Manukatutahi has been
Fold, but I do not consent. Let that money drift

away upon the waters; no land will be given for it.
I have done.
Then rose up TAINGAKAWA—Leave that matter
to be settled by your child Tawhiao.
Then arose MANGA. —The people must cease from
interfering with that land; my business is my own
Shall Ngatimaru take the land at Hauraki ? No, I
have sole power over the land. Let my first, second,
and third words be discussed by you all. If the
Pakeha (Mr. Sheehan) desires the discussion to be
carried on in the House, it is well. With respect to
my word at Waitara, of which men speak, that my
hand was upon the crown of the head of the
Governor (Sir George Grey), and the hand of the
Governor upon the crown or my head, in consequence
of which the Governor and the Maories said I had
assented (i. e., to terms), I say, no; Grey's ideas
were his own. I have designs of my own, which I
have entertained from old. This thing has created
much talk in these days. I have nothing more to
say about this. I now turn to the Pakeha, Mr.
Sheehan. I ask about an investigation in my
interest (re land claims) from old down to the pre-
sent time. Commencing here, hence to Panehakua,
Te Mauku, Pukekura, Maungatautari, Waikato,
thence crossing over on my boundary line. Your
affairs are your own; my affairs are my own. You
must not allow yourself to suppose that our affairs
are identical. What is it to me that some portions
have been sold. I desire that land purchasers (or
sellers) must apply to me. This is all I have to
say to you. Answer the first and second words of
mine, also what I now say. Let these proposals of
mine be settled by you.
Then uprose Mr. Sheehan. —Your words are good,
Manga. You and I will consider these matters
some day. I have no more to say on this subject.
I ask where are the papers containing the subjects
for discussion ? The subjects for discussion do not
appear.
Then uprose HARE. —I will tell you what the
subject is. We desire that the people occupying
Te Kapiti be turned off.
Mr. SHEEHAN. —What about those people ? Some
dispute between you perhaps ?
HARE. —No; it was Ngatimaru. It was because
they had no right or title to assume the control
there; for we are the owners of that part. In times
gone by we made a disturbance about that place, and
had it not been for Manga and Tawhia there would
have been trouble.
Mr. SHEEHAN. —Have they no claim there ?
HARE. —They have no claim. It belongs to two
parents of mine, and I have always had control over
it, down to the present time. The timber (on it)
was burned by me, hence the quarrel. (They) have
no right (there).
Mr. SHEEHAN. —Did they, before this happened,
know that the land was disputed ?
HARE. —Yes. They had heard that Manga
claimed a title there. If Manga decided to have the
title investigated, it would be right.
Mr. SHEEHAN. —Has the land been surveyed ?
HARE. —It has not been surveyed. I say to you
Manga, you have spoken to Ngatiraukawa of this
long ago; and you have told Doctor Pollen of your
boundary of which you have again spoken this day.
Mr. SHEEHAN. —This piece is in the hands of
Manga. Manga and I will consider it in due timo.
What are the names of those places ?

" negotiation " we never heard of. This is a speci-

been trumpeted throughout the country by admiring
satellites ! We cannot see that the Native Minister
ever attempted to gain any object. He seemed
absolutely spell-bound and afraid of giving offence,
so he pusillanimously tells Rewi that his words are
"good, ' whether right or wrong. We have no
doubt Rewi enjoyed the situation amazingly. 'Twos
the first time he ever had a Minister of the Crown
humbly seeking his patronage. We must reserve
for our next issue the report of the " talk " at Kihi-

HE RETA TUHI MAI.
—————«—————
[Owing to the late absence of the Editor, the
following letter had to be held over. ]
To the Native tribes of Turanga.
Turanganui, January 9th, 1879.
FRIENDS, —I have seen a report of a meeting which
was held at Wharaurangi on the 19th of December,
to concert measures for preserving your lands amidst
the difficulties which beset you in relation thereto.
This has continually been a vexed question among
you in all time past, down to the present time; and
yet you have been unable to determine upon any
clear and satisfactory course of action in regard to
this subject. It is like a guarled puriri tree which
a man cannot split. It resists all his efforts, and
the wedge becomes jammed. Again he returns to
the attack, but the only result is to weary himself
fruitlessly, and at length he abandons the task in
despair. But this is owing to his want of experience;
doubtless if he possessed wisdom and experience, he
would find some effective means of opening that
hard and tough tree.
No doubt the ideas io which Mr. Rees and Wi
Pere have given expression with respect to the means
of increasing the value of Maori lands, and setting
at rest difficulties in connection therewith, are correct
—they are in accordance with my own opinions.
But 1 object to one resolution proposed at your
meeting, which I consider wrong; and that is, the
making over your power and authority over your
lands to two persons as trustees. Are you versed
in the intricacies of English law in respect of
such matters? Remember the Maori saying, —
" That which Maui seizes in his grasp is not easily
shaken out again. "
I will give you some explanations of these matters
as they exist among Europeans. The offices of
Agents and Trustees' are separate and distinct from.
each other. Where a number of persons, ia such
cases, unite for some purpose, they, in the first place,
carefully consider the appointment of three or five
Trustees, in whom is vested the property, whether

mea, i waenganui i a ratou ko nga Kai-whakahaere.
He mahi utu kore ta nga Kai-tiaki.
He mea whakarite ano nga Kai-whakahaere kia
puta he tika ki runga ki te tokomaha. He mea utu
aua Kai-whakahaere. Na, he hee te apiti o te
whakahaere me te tiaki ki runga ki te tangata
kotahi. Heoi, ko taku whakaaro tenei, me he mea
ka whakaturia e koutou he Kai-tiaki, me whakatu he
tangata ke rawa atu, hei te tangata kaore rawa e
whai tikanga ana ki runga ki nga whenua. A, ko
te Riihi raua ko Wi Pere hei Kai-whakahaere anake,
e pai ana.
Kei hoha koutou ki te korero i tenei reta, kei tae
ki ona ra e hee ai, ka nanu koutou ki te kore whaka-
atu. Heoi.

Na POATA.
[E hiahia ana matou ki te whakapuaki kupu mo
te tikanga i korerotia i roto i tenei reta, otira he
kapi no te WAKA. i kore ai he kupu ma matou.
Engari, he kupu ako ta matou ki nga Maori o Tu-
ranga kia whakarongo ratou ki nga korero a Kapene
Poata. Ehara ia i te tangata i " utaina houtia mai, "
e kuare ai ratou ki a ia. Kua roa ratou e mohio ana
ratou he hoa pono ia no ratou. He kupu apiti
tenei ki a ia, a e mohio ana na
matou ki nga kupu a Kapene Poata; ara, me
tangata ke katoa, nga kai-whakahaere ano me nga
kai-tiaki. Na, mo te waihotanga o te Riihi hei kai-
tiaki mo a ratou taonga, heoi ta matou kupu, ara, ki
te mea e mohio rawa ana ratou i ngata te ngakau o
nga Maori o Ahuriri i ana mahinga i a ratou mahi,
heoi e pai ana kia whakaturia ko ia hei kai-tiaki;
otira, ki te mea kaore ratou e mohio ana, na me
matua ui ki aua Maori o Ahuriri muri iho ka whaka-
turia ai. ]
Ki te Mita o te WAKA MAORI.
Waikanae, Tihema 18, 1878.
E HOA, —Tukua atu tenei reta ki te WAKA.
Na, whakarongo mai, tenei taku ki nga iwi i whakahe ki nga
mema Maori i tu hei Minita. No to ratou kainga i hamama
atu ai o ratou waha tae noa ki te mutunga mai. Kua nohoia
hoki taua nohoanga Minita, heoi, te hamumutia e taua nupepa
ngau-tuara nei ki te tangata, a te WANANGA. Tera pea i kore
ai e hamumutia, he Minita, i tu i roto i tenei Kawanatanga e
kiia nei e te tangata ko te Kawanatanga tenei e ora ai te motu,
e ora ai te tangata. Ae—e hoa ma, kua kite hoki au i te
oranga me te arohatanga ki te motu.
Na, mo te mahi whakaako a o tatou nupepa i nga iwi Maori
o te motu nei, e ki nei kei te hapai ratou i te iwi Maori;
engaringari nga nupepa Pakeha e rangona ana e whakahe ana
i nga mahi hee a te Kawanatanga e tu nei mo nga whenua a
nga Maori. Me titiro hoki tatou ki tana ture mo te Kooti
Whakawa Whenua Maori. T rongo hoki matou, enei iwi, i tu
ki Nepia he huihuinga i ia tau i ia tau hei turaki i te Kooti
Whakawa Whenua; tetahi, i uru tonu a te Hihana ki te wha-
kahaere i roto i nga huihuinga o Ngatikahungunu, me etahi
atu ture i mahia tahitia e te Hihana ratou ko aua iwi—kaore
ano i tae mai he rongo ki a matou i roto i ta ratou nupepa e
rangona ai te otinga o ta ratou mahi.
Maku e ki ake, engaringari ta tatou WAKA e ata whakaatu
tika ana i nga mahi, o te Paremete ki nga iwi o te motu nei.
Kaore he Kawanatanga i mua ake nei i puta he whakatauki, na
tenei Kawanatanga e tu nei i puta rawa he whakatauki ka
" puta te motu "i a ratou. Tera ranei kua tae atu he rongo
ki te motu kua hoki Waitara ki a Wiremu Kingi, kua hoki
ranei Waikato ki a te Kingi, kua hoki ranei Tauranga ki a
Ngaiterangi, me etahi atu wahi i tangohia—nga take i ngaro
ai te motu; e ki nei te whakatauki a te Kawanatanga ka puta
i a ratou te motu. Ae pea, te taha Pakeha, ka puta—tena ko
to tatou taha Maori nei, e kiia nei ka puta, aua. Me titiro ki
nga whakahaere a te Pakeha mo tatou, he tau he ture. Titiro
ki te tikanga a te rangatira ki te pononga—ahakoa tika ta te
taurekareka korero, hei aha ki te rangatira ?

land, goods, or what not, and who act as guardians
between the owners and their agents. Trustees are
usually unpaid.
Agents are also selected and appointed by the
owners to profitably conduct affairs. Agents are
paid. It is therefore wrong to combine the functions
of trustees and agents. My opinion is, that if you
desire to appoint trustees, they should be impartial
and disinterested. The appointment of Mr. Rees
and Wi Pere as agents only would be correct.
Do not be too apathetic to read this letter, lest
when a day of trouble arrives you should complain
that you were not advised. Sufficient.
From your friend.
PORTER.
[We should like to make some remarks on the
subject referred to in the above letter, but our space
will not admit of our doing so. However, we advise
the Turanga Natives to take heed to the advice of
Captain Porter. He is not a "new importation. "'
of whom they know nothing. They have known him
long, and they know that he is their friend. We go
a step further than Captain Porter, and say that
agents, as well as trustees should be thoroughly
impartial and disinterested. With respect to the
appointment of Mr. Rees as a trustee for their
property, we shall only say, if they are satisfied that
he has fulfilled the expectations of the Maories of
Ahuriri in his transactions with them, then by all
means let him be appointed as a trustee; but if they
are not so satisfied, let them enquire of the Ahuriri
Natives before appointing him. ]
To the Editor of the WAKA MAORI.
Waikanae, December 18, 1878.
FRIEND, —Please insert this letter in the WAKA.
Let the people who found fault with the Native members
who were chosen as Ministers of the Government hear what I
have to say. They did not cease making an outcry about it in
their several settlements, even from the beginning to the ending.
Those positions are again occupied (by Maories), and why has
that slanderous newspaper the WANANGA not exclaimed against
it ? Doubtless it was because those gentlemen joined this
Government, which some persons have said will save the
people and the country. Yes—I understand this charitable
saving of the Island.
With respect to the teaching of our newspapers, they tell us
that they uphold the Maories; but the newspaper Pakehas are
better—we hear that they do indeed condemn the wrong
doings of the present Government in regard to Native lands.
Look at their Native Land Court Act. We, the tribes of this
part of the country, have hoard that (Native) meetings have
been held every year at Napier, for the purpose of overthrowing
the Native Land Court; and further, that Mr. Sheehan joined
himself to those meetings, and took an active part in the
guidance and management of those meetings of Ngatika-
hungnu, and also in various other measures he co-operated
with those people—but we have received no information from
their newspaper (te WANANGA), as to what they have achieved.
I say that our newspaper, the WAKA, does really give
the tribes of the Island faithful and accurate reports of what
occurs in Parliament. There has never before been a Govern-
ment which made such decided and positive promises as the
present Government has made, that it, would " save the
country. " But has the country yet heard that Waitara has
been returned to William King, that Waikato has been re-
turned to the King, or that Tauranga has been returned to
Ngaiterangi; also other lands in other places which have been
taken away—these are the causes which have separated us and
destroyed the island. And yet this Government say they will
save the country. " Doubtless they will; that is, the
European portion of it—but as for the Maori portion of it,
which they say they will save, I doubt it. Look at the policy
pursued towards the Natives; every year new laws are made

nana nei i pau ai era atu wahi o te motu nei; a, kua
panaia atu taua tangata ratou tahi ko ana moni
Kaore matou e pai kia riro atu to matou whenua
hei utu mo ana moni i pau i te tangata kotahi:
hoatu ai e ia. E kore matou e pai ki nga tu mahi
penei. E mahara ana pea a te Make he iwi kuare
matou, he porangi ranei, tera e rarua noa iho i a ia ?
E whakaaro ana ranei taua Make he pera te whenua
me te maramara pounamu e kohia ki roto ki te
pakete o tona koti, e ngaro? Kaore e pa ki
te to matou whenua te moni a Make.
Engari mana pea e tono ki te tangata i tapaetia
ai e ia aua moni kia utua ki a ia. E kore
matou e pai kia ruritia kia Kootitia ranei to matou
whenua i runga i taua whakaaro hoko a te Make
raua ko te tangata nana i tango tona moni. Tera
ano matou e pai kia puritia, kia whakawakia, o matou
whenua i konei a te takiwa e hiahia ai matou.
Engari kia mohio nga Pakeha katoa, kaore matou e
pai ki te hoko i o matou whenua ki te Pakeha.

Tera tetahi hui Maori nui kei Omahu, Ahuriri. E ki ana e
600 nga tangata kua tae mai ki taua hui, a kei muri etahi e
haere mai ana i Wairarapa, i te Tai Hauauru hoki. £ ki ana
te tangata nana i korero mat ki a matou, he nui te whaka ue a
taua hui ki tenei Kawanatanga.
Tenei kua tae mai he tono ki a matou no Waikato kia
panuitia ki roto ki te Waka nga korero waea whakahihi e
panuitia ana i roto i nga nupepa. Pakeha mo nga mahi a te
Hihana i taua takiwa, kia kite nga Maori o reira me he mea e
nukarautia ana nga Pakeha, kaore ranei. Tora matou e pera a
muri ake nei, ma reira te iwi o Waikato te mohiotia ai te ahua
o te tangata e whakangari nei i a ratou.
E ki ana kua mutu pai i te korero te kakari a Ngatihau me
nga Maori o Waihi ki raro nei.
E noho ana te Kooti Whenua kei Hokianga inaianei; e ki
ana, nui atu i te 600 nga Maori kei reira.
Observe the master and servant—although the words of the
slave may be true, what cares the master ?
Te KAKAKURA.
[Our friend Kakakura appears to be somewhat ill-tempered.
We hope he does not mean, to say that the Maories are treated
as slaves by the Pakeha. No aboriginal race has ever been
treated with so much consideration by the Government and
people of any colony in the world as the Maories have been
treated with by the Government and people of New Zealand.
They have been permitted to participate in all the privileges
which the Pakehas enjoy; and more than that, they are
exempted from many burdens which the Pakehas have to bear.
The Maories do not, and cannot, know what troubles the
advent of the English to their shores has saved them from.
If any other nation had settled in their country, the chances
are, that that great " difficulty, " the Native Land Court, would
never have existed, for the simple reason that they would in
all probability have had little or no land left them for adjudi-
cation. ]
To the Editor of the WAKA MAORI.
Wharekahika (Hick's Bay), 9th January, 1879.
FRIEND, —We salute you—the clearest and best
writer of oar language in the country; that ia, of
the Maori language.
Publish this, that it may be read by our friends
throughout the island. Mr. Mackay, the land de-
vouring taniwha has been here, for the purpose of
stealthily purchasing our lands at Wharekahika.
For instance, he secretly gave £100 of his money to
one man for the purchase of land which is ours. On
the 8th of this month the Maories here held a
Runanga, for the purpose of sending away this
audacious man, by whose agency other portions of
the island have passed away. We have sent him
and his money away. We are not willing that our
land should go for the money which he paid to one
man. We object to this sort of work. Does Mr.
Mackay think we are so ignorant, or so foolish, a
people as to be overcome by him in this way ? Does
he think that land is like a small piece of green-
stone, which may be hidden away in his coat pocket ?
Mr. Mackay's money will not he chargeable on our
land. Let him look to the man to whom he gave it
for repayment. We shall not consent to have our
land surveyed and titles investigated in Court simply
because Mackay and the person who took his money
desire it. We shall consent to have our land
surveyed and the titles here investigated when we
think proper to do so. Meanwhile, let all Pakehas
understand that we do not intend to sell our lands
to them.
From your Maori friends of the East Coast.
WIREMU PAHURE,
KEEPA PATAHURI,
IRIMANA. HOTURANGI,
HONATANA and
APIKARA. NGATAKETAKE.
A large Native meeting is being held at Omahu, Ahuriri.
Some 600 Natives have already assembled, and many more ara
expected from Wairarapa and the West Coast. Our informant
states that the feeling of the meeting is strong against the
present Government.
A request has come to us from Waikato, to publish in the
Waka the vain-glorious telegrams from tune to time published
in the papers about Mr. Sheehans's doings in that district, so
that the Natives there may see for themselves whether the
Pakehas are being book-winded or not. We shall endeavour
to do so in future, and we believe the effect will be to
thoroughly open the eyes of the Waikato people as to the
character of the man, who, to use a Native expression, is
" teasing " them.
The dispute between the Lower Waihi and Ngatihau Natives
(Hokianga) has been settled by arbitration.
The Land Court is sitting at Hokinga, over 600 Natives
arc in attendance.

Mr. Sheehan interviewed the Natives at Grahamstown on
Tuesday, January 21st. He consented to allow them £2000,
to be spent under the authority of the County Council, for
fencing hapus, Native roads, Ohinemuri road, ferry at Te
Aroha, snagging the river, and making the road from Katikati
to Paeroa. This is in addition to £2000 for bridges in
the Ohinemuri Country. (If the Natives of Grahamstown
obtain all these good things, they will be more fortunate than
many other tribes who have received promises from the
Native Minister).
The Government have sent a surveyor up to Waikato to
survey a road through the land that is to be sold by them,
originally intended to be given to the King Natives. The
line of road between Harapipi and Alexandra is to be altered
in consequence of being too close to Waina River, and when
the river is high, the creeks flooded, and the bridges all under
water, stopping traffic till the river falls. The bridge is to be
erected over the Waipa at Alexandra or Te Rore.

SUPPLEMENT TO THE "WAKA MAORI. "
Ki te Etita o te Waka Maori,
Nerehana, Tihema, 1878.
E HOA. —Tenei etahi kupu mau e tuku atu kia
kite nga hoa i enei motu. He whakaaro ruarua nei
i puta mai kia au i runga i nga mea i whakaakona
hei tatou.
Te tuatahi o nga mea i whakaakona ki a tatou, ko
te Whakapono. Te matauranga ake whakaturia ana
etahi hei minita, na ka rua te kau noa atu nga tau e
minita ana. Ko te tuarua o nga mea i whakaakona
ai tatou ko te Ture, a kihai ano i riro mai nga tikanga
katoa o te ture, toia noatia atu etahi hei mema mo te
Paremete, hei Minita mo te Kawanatanga, hei Kai-
whakawa.
Na, he patai tenei naku, he aha i whakanekehia
ai etahi o tatou ki nga turanga nunui o te Kawana-
tanga kahore o te Hahi ? Ara na te aha i mutu mai
ai i te minita noaiho to te Hahi whakatu i etahi o
tatou Maori nei? He aha i kore ai e tu he pihopa
Maori, kua roa hoki nga motu nei e awhina ana i te
Whakapono ? Kaua e kiia na te Maoritanga o te
tangata i kore ai e totika hei pihopa. Me he tangata
matau, noho pai, ki ta te Karaipiture, koia tena.
Tirohia iana te pukapuka a Paora ki a Taituha, te
tahi o nga upoko te rima o nga rarangi, —" Ko te
mea tenei i waiho ai koe e ahau ki Kariti, kia
whakaritea ai e koe nga mea i mahue, kia whaka-
ritea ano hoki he kaumatua ki ia pa ki ia pa. "
Kahore a Paora i mea me tono mai he kaumatua
mo nga Kariti i roto i nga Hurai, ara i te iwi o
Paora me nga Apotoro katoa; kahore, engari i tonoa
mai ano i roto i a ratou whakatauiwi.
Na, apiti mai hoki ki tenei tikanga a nga Apotoro
ko nga tikanga o nga whenua ke o enei tau ano.
Titiro iana ki Awherika, ara, ki te iwi mangumangu
nei, ko tetahi ano o ratou kua tu. hei pihopa mo
ratou, Na te aha tera i tu ai i kore ai o tatou ?
Tena e ki te tangata whakaaro puhaehae, " Na te
kore e kaha te Pakeha ki te noho i taua whenua
i te kaha o te ra i tu ai te tangata whenua hei pihopa
mo te Hahi ki reira; na te pai o Niu Tirani i
kaiponuhia, ai nga Pihopatanga ki a ratou whaka-
pakeha anake. " Otira kati atu tera whakaaro a te
tangata ki a ia ano. Ko te tika e kimihia nei, ko te
tika ki ta te Karaipiture, ki ta to nga whenua ke,
ko tetahi tikanga ano hoki hei hono rawa i te Pakeha
raua ko te Maori.
Na HEMI MATENGA, o Ngatitoa.
E ki ana tetahi nupepa kua tae mai etahi reta i te meera o
muri rawa nei, na nga hoa o te POKERA i Ingarani. E mea
ana aua reta tera pea a te Pokera e hoki mai ki tenei motu,
tera e rokohina mai te Paremete e takoto ake nei. Ki te mea
he pono taua korero, ka hari te motu katoa, puta noa ki tetahi
pito ki tetahi pito. Kei tona taenga mai te hinga tonu ai
tenei Kawanatanga popopopo, iwikore, mahi ngaro.
Arekahanara, Manei, Hanuere 20.
E kiia ana kua whakina e Rewi ana korero ki te Kawanata-
nga. E mea ana ia me tuku ki a ia te mana o nga whenua
katoa i hoatu e ia ki a Potatau, te Kingi tuatahi; me waiho i a
ia te mana me te rangatiratanga ki runga ki nga tangata katoa
e noho ana i aua whenua, nga Maori me nga Pakeha ano; mana
katoa nga ture mo aua whenua e hanga. Nga rohe ki a ia, kei
Aotea, Taupo, Parininihi; ka hui ki roto ki aua rohe nga
taone o Areka me te Awamutu, me tetahi taha o Rangiaohia, o
Kihikihi, me nga whenua raruraru o Maungatautari, whenua
reti. Ko te ture o te Kuini ka whakamana i aua wahi. No
nanahi i haere ai a Rewi ki Taupo kia kite i a Ngatiraukawa;
he korero i a ratou tautohetohe rohe whenua, he whakaatu
hoki ki a ratou i ana tikanga hou hei whakakotahitanga mo
nga iwi e rua. Kia ono pea wiki e noho ana i Taupo.
Kua rongo matou e whakanuia ana e te Kawanatanga nga
hoia kei Opunake kei Waihi.
Kua whakarerea e te Hiiri tona mahi Tiati o te Kooti
Whenua Maori, he mate nona.
To the Editor of the Waka Maori.
Nelson, December 1878.
FRIEND, —Here are some words which I beg you
to publish, that they may be seen by the friends in
these Islands. They are a few thoughts - which
nave occurred to me in connection with matters in
Which we have been instructed.
First, we were instructed in Christianity, and
having acquired knowledge therein, some of us were
made ministers, and have now officiated as ministers
for more than twenty years. We were next in-
structed in the law, and, before we were fully able
to master its intricacies, some of us were draped
forward to be made members of Parliament, Ministers
of the Government, and Magistrates.
Now, I ask, why are some of us raised to pro-
minent positions in the Government and not in the
Church? In other words, why do the Church
appointments with respect to us Maories abruptly
cease when we attain to the position of ordinary
minister ? Why is there no Maori bishop, since the
Natives of these Islands have for a considerable time
past embraced Christianity? Let it not he said
because a man is a Maori he is unfit to be a bishop.
If there be a man of understanding and holy life,
' according to the Scriptures, that is the man. Turn
to St. Paul's Epistle to Titus, the first chapter and
fifth verse, —" For this cause left I thee in Crete,
that thou shouldst set in order the things that are
wanting, and ordain elders in every city. " St. Paul
did not say elders for the Cretans should be sent
from amongst the Jews, that is, from the nation of
Paul himself and the rest of the apostles; no, they
were appointed from among the Grentiles themselves.
In addition to this apostolic rule, there is the plan
adopted at the present time in other countries.
Look at Africa, at the Negro race inhabiting that
country—their bishop was chosen from among them-
selves. How is it that they have a bishop of their
own race, and we have not ? Possibly a man of a
a jealous nature may say, "Because the Pakehas
cannot bear the burning heat of that country a
Native bishop is set over the Church there; but the
climate of New Zealand being genial and pleasant
the bishoprics are reserved for the Europeans only. "
But let that man keep such thoughts to himself. It
is the right we are seeking for, the right according
to Scripture, and according to the custom in other
lands, and a way also, whereby the union of the
Pakeha and Maori may be perfected.
Prom HEMI MATENGA, of Ngatitoa.
Private letters, we read in a contemporary, received by the
last mail from friends of Sir JULIUS VOGEL point to the pro-
bability of his return to the colony before Parliament meets.
Should such be the case, he will be hailed with joy from one
end of the colony to the other. His advent would be the
signal for the immediate overthrow of the present imbecile and
intriguing. Government.
! ALEXANDRA, Monday, January 20.
Rewi has made known the result of his negotiations with the
Government. He requires to have sole control of all the
lands which he gave over to Potatau, the first King, and all
dwellers thereon, Europeans and Maories; and to have
authority to make all laws independently. His boundary
marts to be Aotea, Taupo, and White Cliffs, which will include
the townships of Alexandra, and Te Awamutu, part of Rangia-
ohia, Kihikihi, and the disputed leased lands of Maungatau-
tari. The Queen's laws to extend over these places. Rewi
left for Taupo yesterday to meet the Ngatiraukawa chiefs, to
inquire into some tribal and other disputes, and initiate them
into his new scheme for cementing the present friendly rela-
tions between the two races. He will remain at Taupo about
six -weeks.
We understand that the Opunake and Waihi garrisons are
being strengthened..
Judge Heale, of the Native Lands Court, has resigned in
consequence of ill-health.

HE KUPU WHAKAHOKI KI NGA HOA TUHI MAI.
——————•——————
E hiahia ana. matou kia whakaturia etahi tangata tika hei
whakahaere i te hoko o te Waka i nga takiwa Maori. Ko te
tangata e pai ana me tuhi mai ki te Etita kei Turanga nei, me
te whakaatu mai i tana utu e pai ai ia mo taua mahi—ara te
herengi mana i roto i te pauna kotahi.
He mea atu tenei ki nga tangata tuhituhi mai, me utu e ra-
tou te meera mo te mauranga mai o a ratou reta, ara me wha-
kapiri nga upoko Kuini e rite ana, ka kore, e kore e tangohia e
matou aua reta.
Ko nga tangata o te takiwa o Waipiro e hiahia ana ki te tango
i tenei nupepa, me haere ki a J. A. Hatingi, Pakeha o reira.
Ko ia to matou hoa, mana e whakaatu nga tikanga katoa ki a.
ratou, mana hoki e hoatu nga nupepa ki nga tangata.
Kua rongo matou e kiia ana e kore rawa e whakaorangia ate
te Wananga kua mate nei. Inaianei, ko te Waka anake te
nupepa kei nga Maori e rongo ai ratou ki nga korero nui o te
moto mo nga tikanga e ora ai, e aha ai ranei, ratou; ko te
Waka anake te nupepa hei whakapuakanga ma ratou i o ratou
whakaaro me o ratou mate ki te ao. Ne konei matou ka kii, kia
kaha koutou te tautoko i te Waka, ia tangata ia tangata, hei
oranga mo koutou, mo te Waka ano hoki. E ora noa atu i
nga Maori o. tenei motu he nupepa e mahia ana ki to ratou reo
ano hei awhina i a ratou, a ki te mea e rite ana to ratou
ki ta ratou nupepa. Inaianei ko nga Pakeha kai te
tautoko i te Waka i ora ai, engari te mea ma-
tauranga ki ta matou e whakaaro nei, ka tautoko ano ratou
. tika ma nga Maori ake ano e manaaki i ta ratou nupepa kia
motu ke i te iwi Pakeha. Ki te mea ka pae ano te Waka ki
uta a muri ake nei i te kore oranga mona, hei reira te pouri ai
nga Maori, te kite ai i te he o to ratou whakaaro kore—kite
rawa ake tua "tureiti. " Kaore hoki he tangata e tahuri ki te
mahi i tetahi atu nupepa i muri iho mo te iwi manaaki kore.
Engari e pai ana kia kana ratou katoa ki te kohikohi moni
—te hikipene a tenei, te herengi a tera—e ora ai te WAKA, e
toa ai hoki te whakapuaki korero mo te taha ki a ratou, e kore
ai hoki e wehi ki nga mahi a etahi tu Pakeha o te motu e tohe
nei kia whakatikia te WAKA kia mate. Ma nga rangatira o nga
hapu e whakahau kia manaakitia tenei taonga.

ko tona tutukitanga o ana mahi ki reira a nga wa e

NOTICES AND ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS.
——————«——————
Responsible agents are required for the sale of the Waka in.
Native districts. Address applications, stating terms, to the
Editor at Gisborne.
We beg to inform our correspondents that We shall
not receive letters for publication unless the postage to
prepaid.
Subscribers and others intending to become so in the neigh-
bourhood of Waipiro Bay, can have their papers, and obtain all
information respecting advertising, &c., on application to ou*
agent there, J. A. Harding, Esq.
We hear that there is no probability of the Wananga being
resuscitated. The Waka is now, therefore, the only means
which the Natives possess of obtaining information on public
questions affecting their interests, and of giving expression to
their opinions thereon, as well as making known their
grievances. This being the case, we hope, for their own sake
as well as ours, they will support it liberally. The Natives of
this country are well able to support a paper published in their
interest and in their own language, and if they have the
intelligence for which we give them credit they will do so.
The Waka at present is largely supported by the European
population, but the Natives ought to support their own paper,
independently of the Pakehas. If the Waka should again be.
wrecked from want of support (which However, we do noi
apprehend) the Natives will find out when too late, that they
have made a mistake. It is very unlikely that anyone would
ever again start a paper for a people who will not pay. We
trust, by liberally subscribing, they will place us in a position
to speak out boldly in their interests, without fear of the
influence which a certain section of the Pakehas may bring to
bear against us. Let the chiefs of the various hapus ne to it.

if that were all it would not so much matter. The
ultimate results we have no doubt will be anything
but beneficial to the colony. After so much boast-

with Natives—which appear ta have consisted prin-
cipally in feasting, concertina playing, and dancing

e kore pai kia tae ia ki reira. Kihai rawa tetahi o nga
Minita o mua atu i a ia i whakakuaretia peneitia,
katahi ano ki a te Hihana nei; no te mea hoki i ata

ratou i rere hua-kore noa iho ki te wahi e whaka-
kuaretia ai ratou. Te mea pai, ine noho marire te
Hihana kia karangatia mai ia. Otira, e kore matou e
rapu ki tenei; ko ta matou tonu ia i • whakaaro ai.
Kua kii noa matou kaore rawa he mana o te Hihana,
e kore ia e manaakitia e te tangata. I rongo matou
no te taenga o te Hihana ki Hamutona (Kirikiriroa)
katahi ka ki, i tohe nga Maori kia haere ia ki Kopua,

matou e ata whakaatu i te tikanga. Koia tenei. No
tona hokinga mai i Kihikihi ka tae ia ki Areka-

6 maero te pamamao atu i Areka.. I a ia ano i
Arekahanara ka tae mai ki a ia te reta a Tukorehu

" I tono au kia haere mai koe ki Kihikihi, a korero

—the Native Minister has, been refused permission
to attend an important meeting of Ngatimaniapoto
at Kopua, in the Waikato! When anything of real
importance has to be discussed, he is quietly in-
formed that his presence is not required. None of
his predecessors were ever placed in so humiliating a
position, simply because they had more regard for
the dignity of their office than to place themselves in
such a position. The Hon. John Sheehan should
have waited till he was wanted. We are not sur-
prised at this at all; it is only what we expected.
We have all along asserted that Mr. Sheehan's
" personal influence" was nil. Mr. Sheehan is said
to have stated at Hamilton that, against his will, the
Natives wanted him to go to the Kopua meeting, and
that the only way he could avoid them was by leav-
ing Alexandra at an early hour in the morning! Let
us see what were the facts. After leaving Kihikihi
he went to Alexandra, intending to proceed to the
Kopua meeting, about six miles from Alexandra.
At Alexandra he received a written notice from
Tukorehu and Tupotahi stating that they had no
business with him, that he was not wanted, and that
he would not be permitted to attend the meeting.
The Honorable John then sent for Rewi to help him
out of the difficulty. On the arrival of Rewi, Mr.
Sheehan stated the position of affairs, declaring that
he (Rewi) had ruined him by asking him to attend.
Rewi, in reply, said—" I asked you to come to Kihi-
kihi, and met you there. You came to Alexandra
on your own responsibility, and I now come to ask
you to leave. " Result: the humble and submissive
departure of the Honorable John early next morn-
ing. Mr. Sheehan should lay on the table of the
House next session the " communication" which he
received from Tukorehu and Tupotahi, so as to
afford members an opportunity of judging for them
selves of. the " confidence" which the Natives have in
him. He said in his celebrated Statement of Native
affairs, that of necessity the transactions of the Native
Department had at times to be carried on in a
manner which did not " render it advisable for the
House to be cognizant of its proceedings. " This,
doubtless, was one of the occasions where secrecy
would be necessary, and so the " communication" of
Tukorehu and Tupotahi will not be laid on the table
of the House.
The Native Minister said further, in his Statement
of Native affairs, that but for Sir George Grey com-
ing into office, there would have been no settlement of
Native difficulties, and that things could not have been
carried to so successful an issue. Well, we agree with.
him. Here we have, for instance, a Minister of Her
Majesty's Government in this country, after condes-
cending to flatter and promise and rub noses ad
infinitum, absolutely turned away from attending a
Native meeting to which be was proceeding!. Tien

ia e haere atu ana i te huanui! Tetahi, ko Rewi, te
hoa aroha o te Hihana, te tangata e tuku tonu ana i
nga korero nui ki a ia i te waea, e ai ki ta te Hihana
i kii ai, kua puta inaianei tana whakaaro, ta taua
tangata. Kua kii ia kia whakahokia ki a ia ake ano
nga whenua katoa i riro i te rau o te patu, me nga
whenua i hokona, e takoto katoa ana i roto i te rohe
o mua o tona iwi; ara, haere atu i Aotea mau ki
Pirongia, mau atu ki Waipa, i te wahi tata ki te hui-
nga o te awa o Waipa ki te awa o Mangapiko, haere
atu te Awamutu, Rangiaowhia, ka piki i Pukekura,
ka whiti i te awa o Waikato, haere i Taupo, ka whiti
i te awa o Ongaruhe, haere tonu ki te moana ki
Parininihi. Ko nga Pakeha katoa e noho ana i roto
i taua rohe, mana ake era Pakeha, ara ma Rewi; e
kore ia e whakararuraru, e pana ranei, i nga mea o
ratou i whiwhi tika i a ratou wahi whenua, engari
hei tangata ratou katoa mana. Ko ana ture anake.
ko a Rewi, e waiho hei ture i roto i taua rohe katoa.
Tetahi hoki, ko enei piihi whenua katoa, ko te
Pohue, Pukekura, Maungatautari, Horahora, Paeroa,
Waipa, Tirau, Hinuera, me Turanga Omoana, me
whakatuwhera katoa kia whakawakia tona take ki
aua whenua. Ko aua whenua kei waho o te rohe i
korerotia i runga ake ra e takoto ana. Na Rewi
tenei whakaaro Ko te mea e homai ana e ia hei utu
mo tenei tikanga nui, ko tona aroha, ka mutu ano.
Koia matou i whakaae ai ki te kupu a te Hihana, e
kore rawa e taea e etahi Minita atu tenei tu
" whakaoti pai" i nga tikanga. He tangata pai ano
taua kaumatua a Rewi, engari kaore rawa i penei
he tona mana ki tetahi atu Kawanatanga o mua iho
i otira he nui no nga kupu a Kawana Kerei raua ko,
I te Hihana mo te nui rawa o to rana aroha ki te iwi
Maori, me te nui atu o to raua mana i to etahi.
Kawanatanga atu o mua iho, no reira a Rewi i
whakarite ai i tana tono kia rite ki to raua aroha te
nui, u ana. E ki ana a Rewi kaore ia i whakaae kia
mahia he rerewe, he rori ranei; kaore ia i whakaae
kia tukua mai he wahi whenua mo taua mahi, mo
tetahi atu mahi ranei.
Me he mea ka tuhituhia e matou te nui korero mai
ki * matou o Waikato o etahi atu wahi hoki, akuanei
te tomo rawa ai te Waka. Engari ko te Hihana, e
mohiotia ana kua mutu ia. Ko ona hoa rangatira
Maori rawa ano, e haere tahi ana i a ia, e korero
tonu ana ki te hinganga o tenei Kawanatanga i te
Paremete e takoto ake nei. E mohiotia ana ki nga
tikanga o te takiwa o Waikato i enei ra, e kore e
" oti pai" te whakahaeretanga a te Hihana i nga
tikanga Maori. I tohe te Kawanatanga kia whakaae
a Manuhiri kia tango penihana ia, engari kaua ia e
whakaatu; otira kaore rawa ia i whakaae, a kai te
whaaki tonu ia i taua korero. E ki ana nga tangata
Kingi i hee nga korero a Hori Kerei raua ko te
Hihana ki a Tawhiao; te tuatahi, he tohe na raua ki
te whakahaere i nga mahi nunui i te whenua o nga
Hau-Hau, i kii hoki raua i te hui ki Hikurangi, me
waiho ma Tawhiao rawa ano e whakaae ki aua tu

whenua o Harapepe me Kaniwhaniwha, kua kii hoki
whom he professed to be continually receiving tele-
grams, has made known his views. He demands the
restoration to himself of all confiscated or purchased
lands lying within his original tribal boundary,, i. e.,
a line from Aotea to Pirongia, then to Waipa, near
the junction of the Mangapiko and Waipa rivers,
through the Awamutu and Rangiaowhia, over Puke-
kura ranges, across the Waikato river, through
Taupo, across the Ongaruhe river to the sea at
Parininihi (White Cliffs). All Europeans within
this boundary who may have become fairly possessed
of the lands in their occupation, to be unmolested
upon their transferring their allegiance to him, Rewi
—(Maku ake era Pakeha—his laws only to run
within this territory. And, further, the titles to the
blocks known as Pohue, Pukekura, Maungatautari,
Horahora, Paeroa, Waipa, Tirau, Hinuera, and
Turanga Omoana, to be reopened for the purpose of
giving him an opportunity of proving his claims over
them. These lands He outside of the boundary
above described. And for all this he offers his—
friendship, nothing more. We feel assured that no
other Ministry would have brought things to so
" successful an issue. " Rewi, who is a very respect-
able old chief in his way, never before thought of
making such demands from any previous Govern-
ments; hut Kawana Grey and Mr. Sheehan have
professed such unbounded love for the Native race,
and have led them to believe that they possessed so
much greater powers than their predecessors, that
the fact of Rewi making demands proportionately
great is scarcely to be wondered at. Rewi denies
having promised permission to make railways and
roads to give land for any purpose.
We might fill up the paper with the mass of in-
formation we have received from Waikato and other
parts. It is evident that Mr. Sheehan is about
played out. The very chiefs who travel about with
him speak freely of the downfall of the Government
next session. Certain it is that affairs in the
Waikato do not point to a " successful issue " of Mr.
Sheehan's administration of Native affairs. An
effort has been made to get Manuhiri to accept a
pension, and secrecy was enjoined upon the old man,
but he has spurned the offer and talked freely about
it Grey and Sheehan are charged with, having
broken faith with Tawhiao; first, by trying to force
on public works through the Hau-Hau country after
having said, at the Hikurangi meeting, that they in-
tended to leave all such matters for Tawhaio's ap-.
proval • next, by offering for sale the Harapepe and
Kaniwhaniwha lands, which were previously offered
by Sir George Grey to Tawhiao; and, lastly, by set-
tig aside the King and making Rewi the central

Kingi ki a ia, ehara ia i te tangata e pai ai ratou.
Ko te tamaiti tena i ki ai te Kawanatanga e

i runga i te whakaaro kotahi; tera e pahure i runga
i tana whakahaere nga mahi nunui i nga takiwa
Maori (nga rori, nga aha noa atu), a ki te mea ka

figure. The young gentleman who was appointed ta
the position of Resident Magistrate, previously so
ably filled by Major Mair, is continually being lec-
tured on account of the sins of his masters. He
has been repeatedly told that his presence is not ac-
ceptable to the Kingites. This is the officer who we
were told was " expected to work more in accord
with the Natives, to expedite the public works in
Native districts, and render easy the settlement of
any difficulty which might arise in the course of the
carrying out of these works, "
Altogether, we think it is quite apparent that the ad-
ministration of Native affairs by the present Ministry
has been a miserable failure. There are other mat-
ters upon which we intended to comment, but we
must withhold our further remarks for a future op-
portunity.

" katahi ano " ka tuturu te pai i te motu nei i runga
i te mahi a te Kawanatanga i roto i nga marama e
ono kua taha ake nei. Engari i tera tau i pai tana
korero, i kiia ra ia ki te Whare nei na nga mahi tika
a te Makarini i tu ai te pai i te motu i te takiwa
katoa o muri mai o te tau 1869. Katahi ka korero
te Hihana i reira ai ki nga tikanga whakaako i nga
tamariki, a i whakamoemiti ano ia ki a te Maka-
rini mo aua tikanga, kiia ana kia waiho
aua tikanga hei tauira mana. Heoi, pena
tonu ia; kihai i whakaaria he tikanga hou a

tokomaha rawa nga apiha a Ta Tanara Makarini, a
maua e whakaiti kia tokoiti, engari ko nga kai-
whakaako tamariki ka whakanuia e ia. Kotahi te
mea i whakahengia e ia, ara ko te whakahaere a te
Makarini o te mahi hoko whenua; a he tika ano pea
tana whakahe ki tena, engari i ki ia tera e ata wha-
katikaia taua mahi kia tika. I penei katoa te korero

hei whakahaere i nga mahi o te taha Maori. I kite
au i te kupu inoi ki te Whare, i roto i taua korero,
kia whakapono kuare hoa nga mema ki te Minita

mo a ratou mahinga i mahia e ratou, mo nga hui

previous six months, peace had been established in
the country. The honorable member was much
more generous last year, when he told the House
that it could not be denied that, owing to the policy
and action of Sir Donald McLean, peace had been
established in the country since 1869. Then the
honorable gentleman came to the education system,.
for which he praised Sir Donald McLean more
highly, and he intimated his intention of following
in the same direction. So. he went on from one step-
to another, adding nothing of his own but intima-
ting that he intended to maintain the same principles
of policy, or rather of action, as his predecessor.
The honorable gentleman said Sir Donald McLean
had too large au official staff, and he intended to de-
crease that, but would increase the education de-
partment. One point upon which he expressed a
considerable amount of censure, and perhaps it was
deserved, was the manner in which land purchases
had been conducted by his predecessor, and he in-
timated that there would he a great reform in that
department. The honorable gentleman's whole
speech of last year was very much to the effect I
have indicated. It was a recognition of the conduct
of his predecessors, and particularly of him to whom
I have alluded, who had been made the butt of the
fiercest censure all through by honorable members
opposed to him. The Native Minister said be would
follow in the same steps with some little divergence,
and that was the only indication of the policy of the
Government for the future. I hope, and trust, and
believe it has been to a considerable extent carried
out. In the repertorie in which I endeavored to
find an indication of the Native policy, I came across
the honorable gentlemam's speech on Native affairs
delivered in the House some few weeks ago. I
looked through it very carefully, I read it more than
once, and I had heard it delivered; but I found it almost
impossible to detect any indication of policy I find
there an appeal made to the House to place blind
unquestioning confidence in the Native Minister and
his colleagues—: that they were the men, and that
they proved during the recess that they were the men,
to whom Native affairs should be intrusted by fol-
lowers who would ask no questions. There was a
great deal in that statement about what they had
been doing, and references to the meetings that had
taken place, but there was little or nothing that
could be described as a delineation or indication of
any Native policy that was going to be carried out.
Having gone to all the natural sources from which I
thought I might derive some light as to what the
Native policy of the present Government was, I was
so far disappointed that 1 found little else than an
intimation that they would follow the policy of their
predecessors, and appeals to the House for unques-
tioned confidence in the future. Sir, I then took up
that document which was alluded to in His Excel-
lency's speech, and which we have been so long in
getting. We are told in it of the great negotiations
which were carried on by the Premier in person, ac-
companied by the Native Minister, during the
greater part of last recess. I have searched through
that document from beginning to end, and I must
confess it is the most extraordinary oue that I ever.

as a State paper, He did not use the words, but he
referred the country, the House, and the world—

Ki te Etita o te Waka Maori.
Awanui, 13 o Hanuere, 1879.
E HOA, —Tena koe. Akuanei pea te hoha ai koe, mo te malm
o aku reta e tuku atu ana kia utaina ki te Waka. He ahakoa,
taea e wai te peehi te kupu ?
No te 11 o nga ra o te marama nei i tukua
ai e te Make, Pakeha, nga moni taunaha £10 mo te
piihi whenua i tipu nei te raruraru a Wiremu Keiha raua ko
Hirini Kahe; he mea hoatu aua moni i te Aawanui nei ki te
ringa o Hirini Kahe raua ko te Koroneho, ara, ko nga hoa tau-
tohe hoki tera o Wiremu Keiha ma ki taua whenua. I whaka-
atu ahau ki a te Make raua ko Henare Potae he raruraru
taumaha kei runga o taua whenua, kaua raua e hoko i taua
whenua, kei oho ano taua raruraru nui i pehia nei i tenei
marama ka pahure ake nei. Kahore raua i whakaae ki taua
korero aku ki a raua; inahoki, no muri iho i taua whaikupu-
tanga aku i tukua atu ai taua tekau pauna, no reira i matauria
ai kahore a raua na pouri kei tipu he raruraru.
E kore au e tino whakahe rawa mo Hirini raua ko te Koro-
neho. He tino taonga hoki ki a raua taua mahi raruraru
whenua. He aha kei te inoi atu kia homai he moni ma raua
hai hoko mo taua whenua raruraru nei. Engari na nga ka
hoatu moni i kiia ai hei tino whakaaro ta raua hiahia hoko. E
mahara ana pea a Hirini raua ko te Koroneho he rupahu noa
iho te mahi a nga rangatira Maori o Waiapu e ata whakahaere
nei inga raruraru whenua o te takiwa o Ngatiporou? E hoa
ma, e Ngatiporou katoa, e mohio ana ano tatou katoa ki te ata
whakahokinga ate Kawanatanga i Waiapu whenua i tangohia
nei e te Piki Pakeha, te apiha o te whawhai ki te Hau-Hau o
Ngatiporou i Waiapu i te tau 1865; a he mea ata whakahoki
mai a waiapu e te Minita Maori, ara e te Makarini, ki nga
rangatira Maori o Ngatiporou i kaha nei ki -te peehi i taua
raruraru Hau-Hau i pa nei ki Waiapu. Ko nga kupu tenei a
have examined the document, and I find, instead oi
its being an official document of an important
character, or anything which ought to be placed
among the historical records of the country, that
ninety-nine out of one hundred of its pages consist
of nothing but the mere scribblements of special cor-
respondents of highly-subsidized Government news-
papers. It is nothing more; and it is such rubbish that
I declare that, although it might pass current in the
daily issues of a very inferior section of the Press, it
is no more worthy of being bound up with, the
historical records of this country than are the com-
monest street ballads. I wish to give honorable
members an opportunity of considering the nature of
that which we were invited to accept as a State
paper, and out of which we are to glean the real
historical facts of the Premier's interviews with the
King, and to guess at the result., which has been so
highly praised, as having followed, or as being likely
to follow, from these interviews. I am going to
criticise a few-passages of this paper, to show what
an insult it was to the House, and to the Governor,
that such words as. those contained in his speech
should have been used in reference to such a document
as this. It matters very little from what paper T
read, for there is a wonderful similarity in the reports
of what took place. Here is one from, the Auck-
land Star, which sent up a very industrious " special"
ro accompany Hia Excellency. (Sir George Grey).
[Mr. Fox here read a number of extracts from
silly reports, written by Sir George Grey's reporters,
of his interviews with the Natives in the Waikato.
We shall not attempt a translation of such rubbish.
They contained no reference whatever to any mat-
ter of importance, either to the Maories or the
Pakehas; being simply childish twaddle about rail-
ways, hotels, billiard rooms, dinners, half-castes, and
such like things. ]
Want of space compels us to hold over the re-
maining portion of Mr. Fox's speech for our next
issue.
CORRESPONDENCE.
—————•—————
To the Editor of the Waka Maori.
Awanui, East Cape, 13th January, 1879.
FRIEND—Greeting. I fear I shall weary you with the
number of letters which I write to you. But who can resist
the desire to speak ?
On the 11th of this month Mackay, the Pakeha, advanced £10
on account of the piece of land which caused the quarrel between
Wiremu Keiha and Hirini Kahe. The money was given here,
at the Awanui, into the hands of Hirini Kahe and the Koro-
neho, the opponents of Wiremu Keiha in respect of that piece
of land. I pointed out to Mackay and Henare Potae that
there was great contention and trouble about that bit of land,
and desired them to refrain from purchasing it, lest the quar-
rel which was suppressed last month should be renewed. They
paid no attention to what I said, and subsequently gave the
£10—therefore I knew they would not be troubled if a dis-
turbance were created.
I do not altogether blame Hirini and the Koroneho. They
are accustomed to disputes about land, and appear to enjoy
such things. Why should they not ask for money for this
particular piece of land which is in dispute ? But it was
through the action of those who gave the money that they
really made up their minds to sell. Do Hirini and the Koro-
neho imagine that the work of the Native chiefs of Waiapu,
who are endeavouring to arrange land disputes ia the district
of Ngatiporou, is mere pretence ? We all know how the Go-
vernment returned the Waiapu lands which were taken by
Biggs, the officer in command during the fighting against the
Ngatiporou Hau-Haus of Waiapu in 1865; how Waiapu was
deliberately returned by the Native Minister, Mr McLean, to
the Native chiefs of Ngatiporou who had exerted themselves to
suppress the Hau-Hau troubles which broke out at Waiapu.

TE WAKA MAORI O NIU TIRANI.
te Makarini: —" Ko te mana o te whawhai ki Waiapu kei a kou-
tou ano kei nga rangatira Maori o Ngatiporou. He awhina kau
ta te Kawanatanga i a koutou. Ko Waiapu katoa ka whakahokia
ki a koutou ki nga rangatira, kei a koutou te whakaaro ki o
koutou whanaunga i taka nei ki te Hau-Hau; ma koutou e
whakanoho ki nga whenua e pa ana ratou. Engari, taua ratou
e whaikupu, ara, e nui ake te waka i runga ake i a koutou. "
Heoi, ata whakahokia ana nga Hau-Hau ki runga i o ratou
whenua e nga rangatira, a kahore he wahi whenua i tangohia
e nga rangatira mo ratou. Heoi te wahi i a ratou ki taku i
matau ai, ko to whakahaere o nga tikanga nunui e pa ana ki
Waiapu. A kei te mahi tonu nga rangatira i nga tikanga o
Waiapu.
E hoa ma, kaua e whakahaweatia, nga rangatira, te whare e
maru ai te iwi. He ahakoa, nau to whenua, nau ano hoki to
hiahia ki te hoko, ki te reti ranei, me ahu atu koe ki te kawe i
to hiahia ki nga rangatira i tukua mai nei e te Kawanatanga te
tikanga ki a ratou o Waiapu, ma ratou e whakaae e whakakore
ranei.
NA PARATENE NGATA.
Kua timata e te Makewharaua, o Akarana, he
whakawa mana i a te Riihi, roia nei, mo ana mahi
whakapae me ana korero kino i runga i nga rawa i
Turanga nei a Kapene Riri kua mate ra. Te kau
mano "pauna nga moni e tonoa ana kia utua e te Riihi.
Ko te Witika raua ko te Rata nga roia a Makewha-
rana.
E ki ana na te Waara, roia nei, o Kihipone, ratou
ko etahi tangata i hoko i te whenua a Kapene Riri i
Matawhero B Wahi, me te Hapera. Inaianei tonu
ka tango te Waara i tetahi tikanga hei pana i nga
Maori i tango hee i te whare i te Hapera. Ka mahi
tikanga hoki ia hei whiu i aua tangata mo tana mahi.
Mea ake te Karaka whakarere ai i tona mahi
Kawanatanga, ka tango penihana ia. E ki ana ko
Hemi Make te tangata e tu ki taua mahi.
Ko te pahikatanga ake o nga wahine i nga tane o
te taone o Ranana i Ingarani, e rite ana ki te ruarua
rua te kau mano, kotahi rau e rima te kua -ma
waru takitahi.
Ko tetahi tangata mohio e ki ana e penei ana te
nui o te putanga o nga nupepa Pakeha, o Ranana,
ara: —Ko te Teiri Terekarawhi, 170, 000 nupepa i te
putanga; te Hanatata, 140, 000; te Teiri Niuhi,
90, 000; te Eko 80, 000; te Taima 70, 000. Hui nga
nupepa katoa o te ata o te ahiahi ka rima tau e ono
te kau ma iwa mano, 569, 000, te putanga i roto i nga
ra katoa.
I tetahi huinga tangata i Po Neke i mua tata ake nei i
korero a Takuta Hekita ki tetahi rakau i kitea e ia i tona
haerenga ki Mokau. He wahi iti te wahi i tupu ai taua ratou,
kotahi pea eka, he pukepuke onepu taua wahi kei te akau kei
waenganui o nga awa o Mokau, o Mohakatiana. I ki nga
Maori i tupu ake aua rakau i nga neke me nga rakau o te
kahupapa o Tainui, te waka i rere mai ai nga tangata i
Hawaiki. Kaore i kitea taua tu rakau i etahi wahi o te koroni,
a e mahara ana a Takuta Hekita me he mea ka mohiotia te tu
o te whenua i putake mai ai taua rakau, ara 9 tupu pai ai taua
rakau ma reira pea ka ata mohiotia te Hawaiki e korero nei nga
Maori.
B ki ana tetahi nupepa o Whakatipu i whakaaria be koiwi
moa ki a ratou i tetahi rangi kua taha ake nei, he nui te ora o
taua koiwi. Ehara i te mea rahi taua manu, he pi. Ko nga
iwi o nga tahau o nga waewae i mu rawa; ko te upoko, be
paku rawa, kaore i nui rawa ake i te upoko kuihi te rahi. He
hinu wheua i roto i etahi o nga iwi; he kiko ano i etahi e piri
ana; ko te kiri o te taha ki runga iti ake o nga waewae, me
nga waewae tonu, i ora rawa, e mau ana ano nga uaua i roto.
He huruhuru potopoto nei i kitea i tetahi o nga waewae, he
mea ahua rite ki te huruhuru weka. I kitea taua koiwi i roto i
tetahi ana kohatu i runga i etahi pukepuke e tata ana ki
Kuinitaone. He tama na te Meti, o Wakatipu, nana i kite;
•a e hoatu ana kia kawea ki te whare i Otakou, takotoranga o
•aua tu mea whakamiharo.
This is what Mr. McLean said: —" The power and authority
in connection with the fighting at Waiapu lies with you, the
Maori chiefs of Ngatiporou. The Government will merely as-
sist you in the matter. The whole of Waiapu is returned to you,
the chiefs, and it is for you to deal with your relatives who
joined the Hau-Haus; it will be for you to replace them upon
the lands of which they are the owners. But they themselves
must not have anything to say on the subject; that is, they
must not consider that they can overrule or set aside your ar-
rangements. " And so the Hau-Haus were replaced on their
lands by the chiefs, and none of the said land was retained by
the chiefs for themselves. All they did was to reserve to
themselves the control of all public questions affecting
Waiapu; which power they still continue to exercise.
My friends, do not despise the chiefs; they are the pro-
tectors of the people. Although your land is your own, and
you are desirous of selling or leasing it, you must first apply to
the chiefs, to whom the direction of these matters was given by
the Government, and it is for them to approve or disapprove. '
PARATENE NGATA.
Mr.. J. S. McFarlane, of Auckland, has com-
menced proceedings against Mr. Rees, M. H. R., for
£10, 000 damages for slander and malicious defama-
tion in connection with the late Captain Read's
estate, Poverty Bay. Messrs Whitaker and Russell
have been retained" by the plaintiff.
We are informed that Mr. Ward, jun., and others,
of Gisborne, purchased the estate and interest of the
late Captain Read in the Matawhero B Block and
Hapera property; and that it is Mr. Ward's inten-
tion to immediately eject and take other proceedings
against the Natives for having taken illegal and
forcible possession of the Hapara house. —Evening
Herald.
H. T. Clarke, Under-Secretary of Native Office,
retires on a pension shortly. It is expected that
Mr. James Mackay will be his successor.
The female population of London exceeds the
males 220, 158.
The circulation of London newspapers is stated
upon high authority to be as follows: —Daily Tele-
graph, 170, 000 copies; Standard, 140, 000; Daily
News, 90, 000; Echo, 80, 000; Times, 70, 000. The
morning and evening papers together give a sum
total daily of five hundred and sixty-nine thousand
(569, 000) copies.
At a meeting of the Wellington Philosophical Society held
recently Dr. Hector read a short paper on a tree which he dis-
covered during his recent visit to Mokau. It is a very local
plant, being confined to an acre of ground on a spur of low
sandy hills that extended along the coast between Mokau and
Mohakatiana Rivers. The Natives said the tree had sprung
from the skids and green boughs that were brought as flooring
to the great canoe Tai Nui, in which they came to New Zealand
from Hawaiki. As the tree is not found in any other part of
the Colony, Dr. Hector thinks that if the proper habit of the
tree were discovered it might give a clue as to the mythical
Hawaiki or place from whence the Maori originally immigrated
to New Zealand.
We (Wakatipu Mail) were shown the other day the remains
of a moa in a remarkably good state of preservation. The bird
had evidently been a young one, and the large leg bones pre-
sented a strong contrast to the small head, not much larger
than a goose. Some of the bones were apparently still full of
grease, and moss of them had fleshy matter attached, whilst
the lower portions of the legs and the feet were covered with
the original akin and enclosed tendons and sinews—one of them
being covered with a quantity of small feathers similar in color
to the bright freckled brown of a Maori hen. The frame is
not quite complete. The remains were found in a rocky cave
or crevice, we hear, on a range near Queenstown, by the eldest
son of Mr. Smith, tailor, of this town, who has offered them to
Captain Hutton, Provincial Geologist for the Otago Museum,
