ki te reka o ana rohi e kore rawa ia e hiahia ki nga rohi a

KO TE METI,
KAI TUI PUUTU, KIHIPONE.
KA kitea tonutia au e oku hoa Maori i te Whare iti e tu ana
i te wahi tawhito ra ano, i te Rori nui tonu. He ki atu
tenei naku kia rongo ratou kua WHAKAITIA iho e au te UTU
o aku PUUTU me aku HU. Inahoki, te kau ma rima herengi,
tae ki te kotahi pauna, te utu inaianei mo te pea puutu. Ko-
tahi pauna e rua herengi me te hikipene te utu mo te pea o aku
puutu kaha rawa, pai rawa, e kore nei e puta te wai ki roto; he
mea puku te kiri o te taha ki runga, ehara i te mea honohono,
Taku kupu—he papai aku Puutu katoa,
Ka tuia nga taha tere haere ki nga Puutu tawhito mo nga
herengi e wha.

HAERE MAI ! HAERE MAI ! ! HAERE MAI! ! !

HOKO kahu ai mo koutou mo te hotoke ki te utu iti rawa

Kua whai Raihana au mo te hoko Pu, Paura hoki.
PARAONE WAIKATO,

HE KUPU WHAKAHOKI KI NGA HOA TUHI MAI.
——————•——————
Kua kore e tu inaianei te Paraone, o Uawa, hei tangata tango
moni mo te WAKA, no te mea kua mahue i a ia tana mahi
hokohoko.
Wharekauri. —Kua tae mai te pauna a Pangu Pangu.
Hatiwira te Houkamau. —Ha te Kawanatanga te WAKA o
mua, a ko te moni i tukua mai e koe i mua i riro i te Kawana-
tanga. He tika kia whakahokia e ratou au moni i te wa i mutu
ai tera WAEA. I waiho iho i a te Karaka i te Tari Maori te
pukapuka i nga ingoa o nga tangata katoa e tika ana kia whaka-
hokia a ratou moni, a kaore kau he tikanga i kore ai e whaka-
hokia. Ehara i a te Kawanatanga tenei WAEA inaianei, he
tangata ke nana; no konei me homai tonu e koe te pauna
tinana ki a matou.
Ko Pangu Pangu, o Wharekauri, e ki mai ana kua whakaae
a Kerei raua ko te Hihana ki tetahi tangata Moriori, ko te
Karaka tona ingoa, kia whakahokia e raua a Wharekauri ki te
iwi Moriori: E ki ana i whakaotia ki nga Maori taua whenua
e te Rokena i te tau 1870, a kua retia e ratou ki nga Pakeha i
muri iho. He nui te pouri o nga Maori, a e whakatu Runanga
ana ratou mo taua mea. Tenei he nui nga korero rupahu a
Kerei raua ko te Hihana, he nui a raua mahi whanoke; tera
pea he tika taua kupu ki nga Moriori. Otira, kaua a Pangu
Pangu ratou ko ona hoa e pawera, e kore rawa a Kerei raua ko
te Hihana e kaha ki te whakataka i te kupu whakatau a te
Kooti. Kei tetahi WAKA panuitia ai e matou te reta a Pangu
Pangu.
Toha, me etahi atu, o te Wairoa. —Kua tae mai ta koutou
reta e mea nei koutou ki nga iwi katoa o te taha rawhiti kia
tuku pitihana ratou me koutou ki te Kawanatanga kia wha-
kaaetia mai kia toru mema mo te taha rawhiti. E kore e o
taua reta inaianei, engari kia tae matou ki Nepia ka perehitia ai.
Kua tae mai nga reta a te Komiti Putaiki, Wairoa; Wikiri-
whi, o Horoera; me Wi Rapata, o Oruawera. Me utu he
WAEA ma koutou, ka perehitia ai pea a koutou reta.
Tenei kua tae mai tetahi reta ki a matou na te Pokiha mema
o te Paremete. Kua perehitia taua reta ki roto ki tetahi nu-
pepa Pakeha i Rangitikei. Tona tikanga he whakamarama i
" Nga whawhai o Niu Tirani me nga take o aua whawhai. "
He mea whakahoki taua reta mo tetahi korero parau, whakahe
ki a te Pokiha, i panuitia i roto i te Ta nupepa o Akarana, he
mea tuhi na tetahi tangata tuhituhi korero ki taua nupepa i
haere i a Kerei ki Waikato. He nui to matou pouri ki te kore-
nga e tae wawe mai o taua reta kia puta ai i tenei WAKA.
Otira, kei te WAKA tuatahi i Nepia panuitia atu ai. Hei reira
nga Maori te ata rongo ai ki te take o nga whawhai i tene:
motu; te mohiotia ai hoki na Kerei i timata te tikanga tango:
nga whenua Maori i runga i te rau patu—raua ko Tomete.
PANUITANGA.
KI nga tangata katoa o Rongowhakaata, o te Aitanga a
Mahaki, me nga iwi katoa o te Tai Rawhiti.
E hoa ma, —Tena koutou. He panuitanga tenei naku ki a
koutou katoa, nga tangata Maori o tenei takiwa. Kua tae mai
ahau ki konei ki te mahi i nga mate katoa o nga turoro Maori.
Ko taku mahi tena i nga tau kua pahure ake nei i au e noho
ana i Hauraki i Ohinemuri. Ko nga tangata Maori katoa e
paangia ana e te mate piwa, e te mate marewhio, e te mate
pohuhu, e te mate tunga, e te mate rewharewha, e te mate
waihahihaki, e te mate papuni, e te mate rere, e nga mate atu
ranei, otira me nga mate tawhito katoa, me haere mai koutou
ki au, maku koutou e rongoa. Kei au nga rongoa katoa hei
mea hoko ki nga Maori. Ko taku whare te whare i nohoia e
Paati, kai hanga pu i Kihipone i te rori nui e tika ana ki uta.
Naku na to koutou hoa
NA TAKUTA PURAKA.
KUA KITEA tetahi moni. Ka riro i te tangata nana, ina
Utu ia i tenei panui, ka whakaatu tika mai hoki i nga
tikanga.
FOUND, a sum of Money: The Owner can have the same
on giving full particulars, and paying for this advertise-
ment, —Apply at the Office of this Paper.
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*
Mr. W. W. Browne, of Tologa. Bay, Having retired from.
business, is no longer authorised to act as our agent, or to re-
ceive money on our account.
Chatham Islands. —Received £1 from Pangu Pangu.
Hatiwira te Houkamau. —The old WAKA was a Government
paper, and the money you then sent was handed over to the
Government. The money should have been returned to you
when the publication of the paper was discontinued. A list of
the names of all persons who were entitled to have their money
returned to them was left with Mr. Clarke, the Under-Secre-
tary. There was therefore no excuse for not returning the
money. The present WAKA is not the property of the Govern-
ment; you must therefore transmit to us the full amount of
the subscription, viz., £1
Pangu Pangu, of Chatham Islands, informs us that Sir G
Grey and Mr. Sheehan have given a promise to a Moriori
named Karaka (Clarke) that those islands shall be returned to
the Morions (the original inhabitants). They say that in 1870
Mr. Rogan made an award in favor of the Maories residing
there, and that they have since leased the land to Europeans.
The Maories feel much aggrieved, and are holding Runangas
on the subject. Grey and Sheehan are in the habit of making
such absurd promises, and playing such fantastic tricks, that
we should not be surprised if they have made such a promise
to the Moriories. Pangu Pangu and his friends, however, need
not be alarmed; Grey and Sheehan have no power to set aside
the award of the Court. We shall publish Pangu Pangu's
letter in full on another occasion.
Toha and others, of Te Wairoa. —We are in receipt of your
letter proposing that the tribes petition the Government that
three members be returned for the East Coast district. We
cannot insert your letter in this issue; but we shall publish it
in Napier.
Received letters from the Komiti Putaiki, Wairoa; Wikiri-
whi, of Horoera; and Wi Ropata, of Oruawera. Pay your
subscriptions, and we may probably publish your letters.
We have received from the Hon. W. Fox a copy of a letter,
published by him in the Rangitikei Advocate, on " New Zea-
land Wars and their Origin. " The letter was written in reply
to an utterly untruthful statement made in the Auckland Star
against Mr. Fox by the special correspondent of that paper,
who had lately been in attendance on Sir George Grey at the
Waikato. We are exceedingly sorry that we did not receive
the letter in tune to publish it in this issue of the WAKA. It
will appear, however, in the first number to be published at
Napier. The Natives will then see who was the cause of the
New Zealand wars; and that confiscation of Native lands was
commenced by Sir G. Grey and Mr. Domett.

Kia mohio ki tenei. Kei te mutunga o nga ra o
Hune, te timatanga ranei o Hurae, te puta ai te
WAKA, tuatahi i Nepia.
Ko tenei, ka mahue nei tenei kainga i a matou, e
tika ana kia whakawhetai atu matou ki nga tangata
katoa o Kihipone mo to ratou manaakitanga nui i a
matou, me te atawhai me te whakaaro rangatira
o ratou katoa ki a matou i roto i nga marama i
noho ai matou ki konei—kotahi tonu te tangata i
ahua kino, ara i hae, ki a matou, ko te Etita o te
Tanata nupepa Pakeha ra. Otira e mohio ana nga
Pakeha katoa o tenei kainga ki te ahua ruhairaro o
tena tangata; no konei hei aha kia moumou korero
matou mo tera tangata. Ahakoa haere ke matou he
wahi ke, ko te WAKA ka haere tonu i roto i nga
Maori o Turanga puta atu ki te Rawhiti; a kei nga
wa e hiahia ai nga Pakeha o Kihipone ki te tuku
korero ma ratou ki o ratou hoa Maori, ka pai tonu
matou kia perehitia ki te WAKA.
HE kupu enei i puaki i a matou i te WAKA o te tahi
o Maehe kua taha ake nei, ara: —
" Kua tata tenei ki te hui nui o Waikato i a
Maehe nei. Ko te hui tenei i kiia (e te Kawanata-
nga) he nui nga hua pai e puta ki te motu katoa.
Kei taua hui te tutuki ai nga tikanga o te whaka-

We hope we shall not be driven to adopt
so unpleasant a course. This notice is not

Te Waka Maori.
GISBORNE, SATURDAY, MAY 24, 1879.
WE beg to inform our readers that, after the pre-
sent issue, the WAKA MAOEI will no longer he pub-
lished in Gisborne. Arrangements have been made
for removing the plant to Napier, at which place
the paper will in future be published. We there-
fore request that all communications be henceforth
addressed to the Editor at Napier. We hope to be
able to issue our next number from that place about
the end of June or the beginning of July next.
In taking leave of the people of Gisborne we
gratefully tender them our sincere thanks for the
liberal patronage which they have accorded to us,
and for the kindness and courtesy which we have
experienced at the hands of all, with one exception
only—we allude to the " Editor and Proprietor of
the Poverty Bay Standard. " That gentlemen's
character, however, is so well known that his enmity,
instead of injuring us, has been a mean of pro-
curing for us no small amount of additional sup-
port. Although we are removing from, Gisborne, the
WAKA will continue to have a large circulation
among the Natives of this district and the East
Coast, and we shall at all times he happy to give
insertion to any letters which the settlers, here may
wish to address to the Maori population.
IN our leading article in the WAKA of the 1st of
March last, we said: —
" The great Waikato March meeting, from which
the country has been led to expect great and satis-
factory results, is fast approaching. The Native
policy of Sir George Grey and the Native Minister
will then have reached its climax—the bubble will
have burst. We have no doubt that very many per-
sons in the colony, who are ignorant of the feeling

e pupuhi nei e te tamariki ki te paipa. ) E mohio
ana matou he tokomaha nga Pakeha o te koroni e
tino whakaaro ana tera e taea e Ta Hori Kerei etahi
tikanga pai i taua hui, ara nga tu Pakeha e kuare ana
kinga tikanga Maori e whakaaro pera ana; e mahara
ana ratou ma te mana o Ta Hori Kerei e turaki i te
arai e arai atu nei i te Kingi Maori i a tatou, a ka
tupu ake i roto i te ngakau o nga iwi o Waikato he
whakaaro whakapono ki te Kawanatanga ka roa nei
e tupatoria ana e ratou: a ma reira e whakaaetia mai ai
he tikanga e ahei ai te whakanohonoho tangata ki te
whenua, e ahei ai te mahi rerewe, te aha noa atu.
Heoi rawa te take i penei ai he whakaaro, ko te
" mana " o Ta Hori Kerei ki nga Maori; he wawata
noa ia, he mea takoto ke noa atu ki ta matou e mohio
ana ki te ahua o nga Maori. Ehara hoki matou i te
tauhou ki nga whakaaro o nga Maori i tenei wa; no
konei e kaha ana matou te kii, he wawata kau, he
wairua kau, enei mea katoa; e kore e whai hua
taua hui; e kore e tupu he whakaaro whakapono ki te
Kawanatanga i roto i te ngakau o nga Kingi Maori. "
Ko tenei, kua mutu taua hui nui ki Waikato; a
kua rite tona mutanga ki ta matou i ki ai—ara, he
awangawanga he pouri kei nga iwi e rua. Ko nga
tikanga a Kerei i hoatu ki a Tawhiao i Hikurangi
(he tikanga tuku noa ia, kaore i ki atu kia whakaea
mai ki te aha ki te aha ranei), na, kua whakaparahako
a Tawhiao ki aua tikanga, kua kii mai e kore e tukuna
ma Kerei e whakahaere nga tikanga o te motu o te
Kingi—me te mea e ki ana mai he wawata kau nga
korero whakakake a Kerei o mua iho mo tona mana
me tona rangatiratanga. Ko tera rangatira nui, a
te Hihana, kaore rawa i whakaarohia e te Kingi;
me te mea he tangata ware ia i kore ai he kupu a te
Kingi mona. Kia pewhea hoki u ana. Na, kua
mano tini nga pauna o nga moni o te motu kua mou-
moutia, kua mano tini nga tangata me nga tutei
whakapau moni i tukua pukutia ki te motu whaka-
kiki haere ai, kua mano tini nga kupu teka kua
puaki mai ki te motu nei, ko te rongo nui o te iwi
Pakeha kua tukua rawatia iho ki ro puehu takoto ai,
ko te koroni katoa kua toia ki ro paruparu i runga i
nga mahi wairangi a te Upoko o te Paremete raua
ko te Minita Maori. Mo te aha anake ? Heoi ra
tona huhuatanga me tona tutukitanga ko tenei mahi
hanga noaiho, mahi kuare, whakama rawa, ki Wai-
kato nei a taua tokorua. Me te mea he tamariki rawa
rana i poka noa nei raua ki te haere ki taua hui ki
Waikato i te mea kaore raua i tonoa kia haere ki
reira. • Katahi ka nui rawa nga raruraru Maori i te
motu nei i a raua mahi. Kua roritia rawatia nga
tikanga Maori o te motu inaianei i a raua: ma te
mohio ma te manawanui o nga minita o muri i a raua
e taea ai te wewete. Ko raua marire hoki nga
tangata pakiwaha i korero whakakake noa, rupahu
noa, i mua ai; i korero kino rawa mo te Makarini,
me ona tangata katoa, me nga tikanga katoa o tona
tari. Ko matou nei, kihai rawa matou i whakaaro
ka oti pai he tikanga pai i runga i to raua pokanga
noatanga ki te haere ki Waikato, no te mea kua
mohio matou kaore he whakapono a nga iwi Kingi
ki a Kerei, ko te Hihana hoki kaore e manaakitia
aua e ratou. Otira he oranga ngakau tenei ka tata
nei te matu ta ratou mahi ta enei minita; kua
tuwhera nga kanohi o te iwi Pakeha inaianei; kei te
existing in the Native mind at the present moment,
actually believe that Sir George Grey will achieve
a success at the forthcoming meeting; that by his
" personal influence" he will break down the barrier
of the Maori King's reserve, and produce in the
mind of the Waikato tribes a feeling of confidence
and trust in the Government to which they have
long been strangers; and that, as the result of this,
large facilities will be afforded for settlement, rail-
ways will be constructed, and so forth. Now all
this is based upon a supposition only, a mere idea
—the supposition of Sir George Grey's " personal
influence—and is so entirely opposed to our know-
ledge of the character of the Natives (after long
years of experience), and of the feeling which
actuates the Native mind at the present time, that
we do not for an instant hesitate to assert that the
whole thing is visionary, that the meeting will be a
failure, and that confidence and trust will not be
produced in the mind of the King tribes. "
Now, the great Waikato meeting is over, and, as
we foretold it would be, the only result is dissatisfac-
tion and disappointment to both races. The terms
offered by Sir George Grey to Tawhiao at Hiku-
rangi, without stipulating conditions of any kind
whatever, have been rejected and himself coolly in-
formed that he will not be permitted to have the
control of things in the King's island—in fact, that
his mana and much vaunted " personal influence''
were things which existed only in his own imagina-
tion. The Honorable John Sheehan appears to have
been passed over altogether by his Majesty as en-
tirely beneath his notice. We do not wonder at it
And for the production of this farce—this miserable
exhibition of imbecility thousands of pounds of the
public money have been squandered, emissaries and
spies innumerable have been appointed regardless of
expense, lies without number have been told, the
prestige of the Pakeha has been lowered to the very
dust, and the whole country has been humiliated
and dragged through the mire by the insane action
of the Premier and the Native Minister. Their con-
duct in intruding themselves upon the Waikato
meeting, where they were neither invited nor
wanted, has been such as might have been expected
only from two inexperienced boys; they have in-
creased the Maori difficulty a hundred fold, and
brought Native matters to such a maze of confusion
that it will tax the utmost patience and intelligence
of their successors to unravel the tangled skein.
Their failure has been the more glaring from the
unlimited bounce in which they indulged, and their
passionate vituperation of the late Sir Donald
McLean and everything and everybody connected
with his department. For ourselves, we never ex-
pected that any good could possibly come of their
interference in Waikato Native matters, because we
knew that in Grey the King party never placed con-
fidence, and that for Sheehan they never entertained
the slightest respect. There is consolation, however
in the prospect of their career soon being brought to
a close, for the eyes of the country are open " at
last" and the doom of the present Ministry will
assuredly be sealed when the Parliament meets.

huinga o te Paremete te hinga ai enei minita, ka
turakina rawatia. He mahi uaua te mahi e waiho
ana ma nga minita uru mai i muri i a ratou; otira,
te tikanga pai ma aua minita, me waiho te Kingi kia
noho ana i runga i tona rangatiratanga. Engari ki
te mea ka hiahia ratou kia turia ano he korero ki a
ia, tera ano ia e ata whakarongo mai; no te mea, ki
ta matou whakaaro, ko tenei ahua o nga iwi o Wai-
kato ehara i te mea he whakahawea ki te Kawana-
tanga, engari he tupato marire ki a Kerei raua ko te
Hihana.
No muri mai o te tuhinga o te korero i runga ake
nei kua rongo matou e mahi tonu ana ki te whaka-
wai i te motu. E kiia ana ma Rewi ka oti etahi
tikanga nunui, tikanga whakamiharo nui, mo te motu
nei. Ka wha miriona eka ka whakatuwheratia hei
mahinga mo nga mahi Pakeha; ka mahia hoki he
rerewe; ka ora tangata, ka ora kainga, ka ora nga
mea katoa—ki to te wawata tona oranga. I mua ai
ka whakapati noa a Kerei ma ki a Rewi, kaore i
aha; katahi ka whakarere i a Rewi ka haere ki a te
Kingi koropiko ai, whakakuare ai i a raua ki
te inoi ki a ia kia manaakitia raua e ia, tahuri ke
ana a ia, takiri ana i tona ihu ki a raua. Inaianei
kua hoki raua ki a Rewi, to raua whaiaipo tuatahi.
Koia tena to raua tikanga, he kopikopiko noa ki
tetahi ki tetahi tangi haere ai i te ngakau pawera,
inoi ai kia manaakitia raua, me te korero tonu i nga
tikanga whakamiharo nui e mahia e raua mo te iwi
Maori—he tikanga rapea ia e kore e whakaaetia e te
Paremete. Tera raua te mahi na, me te kata puku
nga rangatira Maori tokorua ra, a Tawhiao raua ko
Rewi, me te whakaaro i roto i a raua kei whea ra e
ngaro ana te matauranga me te ahua rangatira o aua
rangatira Pakeha. Te kupu e puta ana ki te motu
inaianei, e ki ana kua wehe ke a Rewi raua ko te
Kingi, kua pakaru te iwi Kingi. E kore matou e
whakapono ki taua kupu. Nga tikanga o nga iwi o
Rewi me nga iwi o te Kingi e kotahi tonu ana; kotahi
ano hoki te mea e koingo nei raua—ara, ko nga
whenua i tangohia kia whakahokia ki a raua. Ko te
Pakeha nei, kaore he painga e kitea e te iwi Pakeha
i runga i nga mahi pokanoa a Kerei raua ko te
Hihana.
HENARE TOMOANA.
—————————4—————————
Ko Henare Tomoana o Nepia tetahi tangata ka tu
kia pootitia ia hei mema whakakapi i te turanga a
Karaitiana Takamoana i te Paremete. I te ahiahi o
te Taitei, te 1 o Mei nei, whai korero ana a Henare
ki nga tangata Maori whai pooti i Turanga nei. He
hui tangata rangatira taua hui.
Ka mutu nga kii aroha a nga rangatira o te hui,
ka tu ko Henare Tomoana ka korero. Ana kupu
tuatahi i puaki i a ia, he whakaatu i te tikanga i haere
mai ai ia. Muri iho ka korero ia ki tana whakaaro
mo nga mema Maori i te Paremete; tana e tohe ana,
me whakanui kia nui ake he mema Maori i te Whare,
ka kore tena, me whakatu he Paremete Maori. I roa
tona korero mo nga ture whenua Maori. Ki tana
whakaaro me waiho ko nga Maori ano hei kimi (ara
hei whakawa) i nga take a te tangata ki te whenua,
no te mea ko ratou ana; ke e tino mohio ana ki taua mea.
Their successors will have a difficult task before
them, hut the wisest policy they can adopt will be to
leave the King alone in his glory; although if they
should be desirous of re-opening communications
with him, they would probably have a better chance
of success than the present Ministry; for we be-
lieve that the present attitude of the King party is
not so much the result of enmity to the Government
as a feeling of personal distrust of Grey and
Sheehan.
We have learned, since the above was written,
that efforts are still being made to hoodwink the
country. Great wonders are to be achieved through
the instrumentality of Rewi. Four millions of
acres of country are to be thrown open to European
enterprise, a railway is to he constructed, and a per-
fect Maori Utopia founded. The blandishments of
Grey & Co. having been tried on Rewi in the first
instance without effect, they transferred their atten-
tion to the King, and fawned upon him and flattered
him in the most cringing and despicable manner, but
he repelled their advances with supercilious coolness.
Now they have gone hack to Rewi, their first love.
And so they have fussed and fidgetted and rushed
from one chief to the other in a state of nervous
apprehension, begging and praying for patronage
and making the most unheard-of promises—pro-
mises which could never be ratified by Parliament.
Meanwhile the two Maori gentlemen, Tawhiao and
Rewi, are quietly laughing in their sleeves and
wondering what has become of the vaunted wisdom
and dignity of the Pakeha rangatiras. The country
is told that there is a split between Rewi and the
King, and that the King party is entirely broken up.
We do not believe it. The interests of Rewi's party
and the King party are identical, and their object is
the same—namely, the restoration of the confiscated
lands. We shall see the result in due time. What-
ever arrangement may be arrived at (if any), the
Pakehas will be no gainers by Grey and Sheehan's
meddling policy.
HENARE TOMOANA.
—————•—————
On Thursday evening, the 1st of May, Henare
Tomoana, of Napier, one of the candidates for elec-
tion to the seat of the late Karaitiana Takamoana,
addressed a meeting of the Native electors of the
East Coast district at Turanga. The meeting, though
not largely, was influentially attended.
After the usual speeches of welcome by leading
men, the Candidate rose and delivered an address.
He began by stating shortly but concisely the object
of his visit; this done, he proceeded to give an ex-
position of his views regarding the present state of
Maori representation in the House, urging the neces-
sity for increasing the number of Maori members, or,
failing this, of establishing a Maori Parliament. He
expressed himself dissatisfied with the action of the
Government in the matter of purchasing lauds from
the Natives, and intimated his intention, if elected,

I whakahe rawa ia ki tenei tikanga hoko a te Kawa-
natanga i nga whenua a nga Maori; i kii, ki te tu ia
ka tohe ia kia whakatikaia taua tikanga kia tika, kia
whakarerea rawatia ranei. I kaha rawa ana kupu
kia pooti tonu ia ki ta tona hinengaro e kite iho ai e
tika ana hei oranga mo te iwi Maori nui tonu; heoi
rawa te mea hei hoko i tona pooti ko te oranga o te
iwi Maori nui tonu o Niu Tirani. Tera hoki etahi
mea noa iho i korero ai ia, muri iho ka noho ki raro.
Katahi ka rere nga patai a etahi tangata o te hui
ki a Henare, a whakahokia tikatia katoatia ana e ia.
Katahi ka korero ko ANARU MATETE. Ka kii ia,
kotahi te hee, ko te whakaae a nga tangata pooti o
tenei wahi kua puta ki a Henare Matua, he tangata
hoki ia e tu ana mo te pootitanga. Ko tenei kua
mohio ia tera e wehea nga pooti; a, ma tena pea e
riro ai ko te tangata o te Arawa e tu hei. mema.
Engari ki tana whakaaro me korero nga Henare to-
korua ki a raua ano; ma raua ano e whakaoti kia tu
ko tetahi anake o raua, ko tetahi kia mutu—ko te-
whea ranei.
Muri iho korero ana ko WI PERE ratou ko etahi
a. tu. I pena hoki a ratou korero katoa; whakapai
ana hoki a Henare Tomoana ki a ratou korero. Te
tino kupu i oti i te hui, i mea—Ko nga kupu wha-
kaae i tukua ki a Henare Matua i mua ai ka tukua
tenei ki a Henare Tomoana; engari, te tikanga e
tautoko ai ratou i a ia, me hoki ia ki Nepia ka mau
atu ki a Henare Mutua te reta a to ratou Komiti
hei whakaatu ki a ia i te kupu i oti i te hui, hei tono
hoki kia korero raua ko Henare Tomoana me i kore
e oti he tikanga kia mutu a Henare Matua.
Heoi nga tino tikanga i korerotia i te hui ra. Ko
te roanga atu o te korero i taua ahiahi nei he tu a
tautohetohe na Wi Pere raua ko te Heera (Pakeha)
mo nga mahi-whakorekore a nga Maori o tenei wahi
ki a ratou hokonga i te whenua i mua ai. Kihai i
marama te whakahoki a Wi Pere i nga patai a te
Heera mo taua mahi.
TE MATENGA O TE KEREHI, MINITA.
He panui tenei, i runga i te aroha, i te matenga
o te Kerehi, Minita o mua, i mate i te Rengarenga,
Tauranga, i te 80 o Aperira kua taha ake nei. I
mohio be katoa he tangata kaha rawa taua tangata ki
runga ki nga mahi mihinare i Niu Tirani nei. He
hoa pono rawa, ia no te iwi Maori; ko te oranga mo
ratou tana i tohe tonu ai, a i nui te manaaki me te
whakapono o ratou katoa ki a ia mo ana mahi tika i
roto i nga wa katoa. Kihai i kaumatua rawa ia; e
64 ona tau i tona matenga; a tena e nui te aroha o
nga Maori me era atu hoa ona ki a ia, no te mea he
tangata ia e whakapaingia ana e te katoa. I whaka-
urua ia ki te mahi minita i Ingarani ra ano. I tukua
mai ia ki tenei motu e te Komiti o te Hahi o Inga-
rani i te tau 1850. I tana tau ano ka timata ia i
tona mahi mihinare ki Whakato, Turanga; he nga-
ronga no te Pihopa o Waiapu ki Ingarani i taua wa,
a riro ana ko te Kerehi hei minita mo taua kainga i
te wa i ngaro ai te Pihopa. Ko te takiwa tena i
. haere tuatahi ai ia ki Taupo; i tika na Waikare-
moana me Huiarau; ko Matiaha Pahewa, ko Tamati
Turirangi, me te Ua tamariki nei, ona hoa haere—
na muri nei ka tu a Matiaha Pahewa hei minita, kei
Tokomaru hoki i a inaianei. I oti i a ia i taua haerenga
nga tikanga i tu ai he Teihana Mihinare ki Pukawa,
i te taha hauauru-matonga o te Moana o Taupo. I
te tau 1854 ka rere atu ia i Turanga ratou ko ana
tamariki ki Akarana, haere tonu atu ki Taupo i te
of endeavouring to have the present system improved
or abolished altogether. He strongly expressed his
firm determination to vote upon all questions affect-
ing the general welfare of the Maori population
purely in accordance with the dictates of his own
conscience, stating that the safety of the Maori
population of New Zealand would alone he the price
for which he could be bought over or bribed. After.
referring to a variety of what may be termed minor
matters, the Candidate resumed his seat.
Various questions were then put to Henare, to
all of which he gave satisfactory, answers.
ANARU MATETE, then replied to the address deli-
vered by the Candidate. He said that it was to be
regretted that the support of the electors of that
district had already been given to Henare Matua,
another Hawke's Bay candidate. He could now see
that such being the case there was likely to be a
division of the number of votes recorded, and that
might result in. the return of the Tauranga Arawa
candidate. He would urge that steps. be taken by
the two Henares to avoid this by arranging between
themselves which of the two should absolutely stand
for election, the other retiring.
WI PERE and others also spoke to the same effect,
Henare Tomoana fully concurring. The discussion
ended in a resolution that any previous promise made
to Henare Matua be now promised to Henare
Tomoana, on the condition that he return at once to
Napier, bearing a letter, from a Native Committee
appointed to frame the same, to Henare Matua,
stating what had been resolved, and requesting him
to confer with Henare Tomoana upon the matter
and endeavour to arrange between themselves for
the withdrawal of Henare Matua.
This terminated the real business of the meeting.
The remainder of the evening was spent in conver-
sation of a somewhat argumentative and altercatory
character as between Wi Pere and W. E. Hale, re-
lative to Repudiation matters in this district, during
which a number of questions were put to Wi Pere
by Mr. Hale which he was unable to answer satis-
factorily.
DEATH OF THE REV. T. S. GRACE.
———————•———————;
It is with sincere regret we have to chronicle the
death of the veteran missionary, the Rev. Thomas
Samuel Grace, which took place at Te Rengarenga,
Tauranga, on the 30th ult. The deceased was well
known as a most energetic and devoted worker in
the New Zealand mission field. A true friend of
the Maories, he ever sought their welfare, and his
upright and consistent conduct at all times had
gained for him their confidence and esteem. Uni-
versally respected, his demise, at the comparatively
early age of 61 years, will be heard of with deep
sorrow by them as well as by his other friends. He
was ordained at Lichfield to the curacy of Tideswell.
He came out to this colony under the auspices of.
the Church Missionary Society in 1850, and in the
same year began his missionary career by taking
charge of the Mission Station at Whakato, Poverty
Bay, during the temporary absence, in England, of
the late Bishop of Waiapu. It was during this
period that he undertook, on foot, his first jour-
ney via Waikaremoana and Huiarau to Taupo, the
future field of his labours, being accompanied by
Matiaha Pahewa (since admitted to holy orders, and
now in charge of the Tokomaru district), Tamati
Turirangi, and a lad called Te Ua. He succeeded
on this occasion in making satisfactory arrangements
for establishing a Mission Station at Pukawa, on the
south-western shores of Lake Taupo. In 1854 he

tau 1872 ka noho tuturu ia ki Tauranga. I taua wa
ka kopikopiko tonu ia ki Taupo, ka tohe ki te wha-
kawhaiti mai ano i ona tamariki o roto o te Hahi, kia
hangaa ano hoki ratou nga whare o te Teihana Mihi*
nare i Pukawa, i pakaru i nga ope Hau-Hau.
I te tau 1875 ka haere ia ki Ingarani i runga i te
tono a te Komiti o te Hahi; a kotahi tau me te
hawhe i noho ai ia ki reira mahi ai i nga mahi a te
I Komiti. I te timatanga o te tau 1877 ka u mai ano
ia ki tenei motu; a, ahakoa kua pa he mate ki a ia,
haere tonu ia ki te toro i nga Maori o uta, hui ki
tana mahi i roto i te kura i whakaturia i roto i tona
whare i Tauranga hei ako i nga tamahine a nga
rangatira me nga minita Maori, Ko ana mahi tonu
ena, me te nui haere tona mate i roto i nga tau e
rua, a tae ana ki tona okiokinga i te ra whakamu-
tunga o Aperira, 1879.
No roto i te Pei o Pureti Taima nupepa tenei kei
aro iho nei: " No te Hatarei i mauria mai ai i
tona whare i te Rengarenga te tinana o te Kerehi
nehua i te toma i Tauranga. I te haerenga o te
ka tutakina etahi o nga whare hoko i te huanui
haere ai; ko nga haki i hutihutia ake ki waenganui
nga pou tarewa ai hei tohu aroha ki te tupapaku,
i te mea he tangata ia i manaakitia nuitia. Ko te
ngata whakahaere i nga tikanga o te nehunga i
sailed from Poverty Bay with his family to Auck-
land, en route to Taupo, where he arrived with his
family in the early part of the succeeding year, after
a long and arduous journey. There, in the very
centre of the North Island, and in the. most remote
of the mission stations in the country, 90 miles from
the nearest European resident, he laboured indefati-
gably until the death of the great Taupo chief, Te
Heuheu Iwikau, by whose protection he was enabled
to remain at his post throughout the Taranaki and
the greater part of the Waikato wars. As a testi-
mony of the love and respect the Taupo tribes bore
towards him may be mentioned the fact that every
taua, or war party, before starting for the seat of
Avar, went to have karakia and bid him farewell.
Owing to the death of Iwikau and the threatening
attitude of the Ngaiterangi tribe, he was, in Octo-
ber, 1863, forced to leave the station and seek a
place of safety. He, with his family, through much
privation narrowly escaped to Matata, in the Bay of
Plenty, where, protected by the chiefs Te Pi toiwi
and Te Hura, they remained until they were enabled
to escape to Auckland. In 1863 took place, at
Opotiki, the memorable event of his life, when in
company with the Rev. Carl Sylvias Volkner he was
taken prisoner by the Hau-Haus under the notorious
Kereopa. After a close imprisonment of more than
three weeks, his brother missionary murdered, his
release was effected by means of H. M. S. " Eclipse, "
dispatched to his assistance by the Governor at the
request of Dr. Selwyn, then Bishop of New Zealand,
who personally took part in the search. Subse-
quently, he had temporary charge of the missionary
district of Hauraki, but being anxious about his own
special charge ho frequently visited Taupo—on more
than one occasion at the peril of his life. It was
during this period that he interceded for the East
Coast chiefs Te Pitoiwi and Te Hura, and about 20
other prisoners of war, and succeeded in obtaining
their release upon holding himself responsible for
their good behaviour. This act of kindness was
amply repaid by Te Pitoiwi a few years after, when,
at considerable risk to himself, he prevented Mr.
Grace from being entrapped in an ambush laid by
Te Kooti at Whakatane. In the year 1872 he took
up his residence at Tauranga, from whence he regu-
larly visited Taupo, and laboured hard to gather
together his dispersed flock and induce them to re-
build the Mission Station at Pukawa, which, through
repeated plunderings by rebel Natives daring the
wars, had undergone entire demolition.
At the request of the Church Missionary Society
he visited England in 1875, where, during a stay of
eighteen months, he was engaged in doing deputation
work for the Society. He again landed in New Zea-
land in the beginning of the year 1877, and, though
suffering from ill-health, he at once, with his wonted
energy, resumed the work of visiting the Maories in
the interior, at the same time carrying on in his own
house at Tauranga a school for the education of the
daughters of chiefs and Maori clergymen. While
thus engaged his health and strength, which had
been failing for the past two years, rapidly declined,
and he entered into his rest on the last day of April,
1879.
The following is from the Say of Plenty Times -. —
" On Saturday the remains of the Rev. Thos. Samuel
Grace were removed from his late residence at
Te Rengarenga for interment in the cemetery at Tau-
ranga. The cortege, which started from his late
residence shortly after 2 p. m., proceeded by Cameron
Road. First Avenue, the Strand, and Harrington
Street, to the cemetery. Many of the business places
along the Strand were temporarily closed and flags

TE WAKA MAORI O NIU TIRANI.

kona Paraone, he nui te aroha o tona karakiatanga
"I te Whare Karakia Tiriniti i te Ratapu, na te
Tiotana, Minita, te kauwhau. Ko te kupu karaipi-
ture tenei i kauwhau ai ia, ' Ka horomia e ia te mate
i runga i te wikitoria. ' ' He nui te aroha o nga kupu
a taua minita mo te Kerehi i mate ra. "
Tokoono nga rangatira Maori na ratou i tango i te
kawhena i roto i te kareti—ara, no Taupo, Tarawera,
Rotorua, Tauranga, Waihou, me te Pei o Pureti.
• Kotahi rau pea nga Maori i haere i muri i te ropu
Pakeha.
Kua hamenetia te Hihana e te Rangatira o tetahi
o nga Peeke o Nepia, i te 16 o nga ra o Mei nei,
mo nga moni £87 7s. 3d. ko nga moni tinana ia me
nga moni tupu i tuhia ki tetahi pukapuka i hoatu
e te Hihana ki a ia, he pukapuka whakaae na taua
Hihana kia utu ia i aua moni ki taua Peeke mo tana
nama, a kihai i mana i a ia. Ko te Rahera te roia
a te rangatira o te Peeke, a whakaotia ana e te Kooti

Ka noho te Kooti Whenua Maori ki te Wairoa
Haake Pei, i te 21 o nga ra o Hune, 1879; ka noho
ki Waiomatatini, Waiapu, i te 25 o nga ra o Hurae,
1879.
Kua puta mai he tono ki a matou kia panuitia atu
e matou ki nga Maori o tenei takiwa te tikanga a te
ture mo te tangata poka noa ki te tango i te hoiho,
i te kuri ke ranei, e kawea ana ki te Pauna. E ahei
ana te ture te tono kia utu taua tu tangata i nga
moni £50 pauna; ka kore tena, ka kawea ki te Whare
herehere whakamahi ai i roto i nga marama e ono.
I era wiki e kawea ana tetahi hoiho ki te pauna e te
Honetana o Maraetaha. Katahi ka tangohia taua
hoiho e tetahi Maori, ko Rihara Pukawa te ingoa.
I kaha te kupu a te Honetana ki taua Maori kia
kawa e pa tona ringa ki taua hoiho, engari me waiho
kia kawea ana ki te Pauna; i ki atu hoki te te Honetana
he kaha rawa te whiu a te ture mo te hara pera, a ki
te tohe tonu taua tangata ka hamenetia ia. Tohe
tonu taua Maori, mauria ana te hoiho; muri iho
whakawakia ana taua mea i te Whare Whakawa. I
reira ka mea atu a te Honetana ki te Kooti kia iti
te whiu mo taua tangata, kaore ia e pai kia nui he
mate mo taua tangata; heoi tanae hiahia ana kia
mohio taua Maori e kore ia e tukuna kia takahia
noatia te ture. Na, i runga i te tono a te Honetana,
ka whakangawaritia e te Kooti, ka whakataua kia
utu taua Maori i te 10s herengi tonu, me te 17s
herengi mo te whakawakanga. Kii atu ana hoki te
Kooti ki te mea ka pena ano he mahi mana a muri
ake nei, katahi ka whakanuia rawatia he whiu mona.
Heoi, me tupato nga Maori katoa o Turanga ki taua
mea; a whakarongo pu ratou ki te ture ki te mea
e hiahia ana ratou kia noho aroha ratou ko o ratou
hoa Pakeha.
were flying at half-mast as a mark of respect to the
deceased, who was universally esteemed. In front
of the hearse walked the undertaker (Mr. Leighton),
whilst on each side of it walked six Native chiefs.
Following the hearse were. two carriages, the first
closed and occupied by the three sons of the deceased,
whilst in the second were Herbert W. Brabant, Esq.,
E. M., S. L. Clarke, Esq., J. P., and Major Roberts,
R. M. About 150 persons followed the body to its
last resting place, besides a large number of Natives.
The funeral-was met outside the cemetery by the
Rev. Archdeacon Brown, by whom the service was
read in a most impressive manner.
"At Trinity Church, on Sunday, the Rev. Charles
Jordan. B. A., Incumbent, in preaching from the
text, ' He will swallow up death in victory, ' referred
in touching terms to the Rev. Mr. Grace's decease. "
The body was taken from the hearse by six repre-
sentative chiefs from Taupo, Tarawera, Rotorua,
Tauranga, Thames, and Bay of Plenty. About 100
Maories followed behind the Europeans.

Branch Bank of Australasia, Mr. Winter, sued the
Hon. John Sheehan in the Resident Magistrate's
Court at Napier, on the 16th of May, for £87 7s. 3d.
principal and interest due on a dishonoured promis-
sory note given by the defendant. Mr. Lascelles
appeared for the plaintiff, and judgment was given
for the amount claimed with costs.
A sittings of the Native Land Court will be held
at Te Wairoa, Hawke's Bay on the 21st of June next;
and at Waiomatatini, Waiapu, on the 25th of July
next
We have been requested to bring to the notice of
the Natives in this district that for rescuing any
animal being driven to the Public Pound, a fine of
£50 may be imposed or 6 months' imprisonment
given. A few weeks ago a Native named Rihara Pu-
kawa rescued a horse which was being impounded by
J. W". Johnson, Esq., of Maraetaha. Mr. Johnson
strongly recommended him not to interfere; he ex-
plained that the law was very severe in such cases,
and told him that if he persisted a summons would
be taken out against him. Notwithstanding this,
the Native took the horse away, and the case was
subsequently brought before the R. M. 's Court. Mr.
Johnson asked that a merely nominal penalty might
be inflicted, as he only wanted the Native to under-
stand that he could not be allowed to do such things
with impunity. In consequence of Mr. Johnson's
appeal in his favor, the Native was ordered to pay
a penalty of 10s only and costs 17s. The Court
also warned him that for any future offence of the
kind he would be dealt with much more severely.
Let the Natives of Turanga all take warning by this
case, and remember that if they desire to live in
harmony with their Pakeha brethen they must learn
to respect the law.
