      Ki te Kai-tuhi o te Wananga, tena koe:—Tenei
 ka tukua atu e ahau kia taia: e koe kia te Wananga te
 matenga o to tatou hoa o Mohi Mangakahia ki Wha-
 ngapoua,  Hauraki, i te ata o te Ratapu, i te 21 o
 Maehe 1875.
      Kanui te pouri o te ngakau mo te matenga o tenei
 tangata, he tino tangata ia i roto i te whakatupuranga
 o nga taitamariki o tenei wa.:—Otira i nui atu ano ia
 i nga kaumatua e ora ana inaianei, o era nga whaka-
 tupuranga i roto i tenei moana i Hauraki.  He tangata
lament, which have reached his ears. Friends, it is
waste for the Wananga to come in these days, why;
because Papa is thrown into the water, whose work
was that, why, it is Rangatira's,  by jealousy, grasp,
when  a low person thinks there is none for him.


     This is my words for those persons not to listen
to the words of those fabulous reptiles, that is how
we  are distressed, you knowing  people of New
Zealand, be strong in seeking a way .that we may be
saved from the Pakeha's but we will not be able to seek
because when  laundered pounds sees that person
is able, then, comes another to him, and says Î will
give you five hundred pounds, so is understanding is
taken by five hundred pounds, like our friends who
are sent to the sacred place, to explain our complaints
when   they reach  there, there is three hundred
pounds, and they go, and murder us and when those
persons  thinks of it the chains are on  their legs.
Nevertheless, friend, build a Parliament for us Maori
tribes, then it will be good for a person to go to the
other Parliament, because this will give it work to do
for those who are there.


     Also this which, is stated by a correspondent for
 to go to School, so that you will know, friends, to
 which School, there has been  Schools established in
 all parts of our Island, when the Gospel arrived, and
 unto the present day. And has received no know-
 ledge, I was at School in 1861, the lessons that was
 given me, was cutting flax, wiwi, and manuka, planting
 potatoes, and digging them, and did not receive any
 education, only wasted our Lands for it, you says, go
 to School, friends, where is ihe money  to pay  for
 your education, the children of the School here, goes
 when the School is over they go back to their parents
 place, and stay, like our members, who went to the
 Parliament School, and knew  nothing. Although
 you  say, go.to School.  Friends, this will be as a
 School to us the .Wananga who  is teaching us, we
 must not think by those children who  was  sent to
 School, we will be saved, no by them we will be
 fairly distressed, it is stated in. the Scriptures, it will
 be worse then the beginning. Cease here, so that
 the reader will not be so long reading and be wearied,
 from your friend.
                         David Lot te Tahiwi.

      KIRIKIRI, (TAMES,)  APRIL 19TH l875.
      To the Editor of the  Wananga,  greeting" you.
 Here I forward unto you  to be published in the
 Wananga   the death, of our friend Noses Mangakahia,
 at Whangapoua, .Thames on Sunday morning, 21st of
  March last.
      The mind  is greatly aggrieved by the death. of
  this person, he is a very influence person, in the
  growing up  generation at the present time, but he
 was greater than any of the old people of the Bay of
  Hauraki.  He  is a person who   was  very  much

                              TE  WANANGA.
thought of by the tribes of Hauraki, and different
tribes, also of this Island. He was to be a candidate
for the election of member for the Parliament for the
coming  year, for the Western  Maori  electoral district.
     The people  of Tauranga  have sent also their
votes for Moses to stand as a member for the Parlia-
ment, and also Ngatiporou at Harataunga (Kennedys
Bay,) Mataora,  Hauraki,  on their good  faith, in the
said person.  We   have  received the  letter also of
John Taipua of Ngatiraukawa of Otaki, informing us
that is tribe will vote for Moses to be a member for
the Parliament at the next election of members.

     I am only informing the great character of this
person in his own tribes at Hauraki, and also of this
Island, he is a great person  in his own   tribes at
Hauraki,  he is a chief from his forefathers, he is a
offspring by the two sons of Marutuahu, Marutuahu
had five sons, that is how he was lifted up by his
tribes, and kept   as a time beater of  his canoe at
Hauraki  in all the days, he was in this world.

     And  how great is the fall of the tribes of that 
 person at his death, it is not by his being a chief
 From  is  forefathers, that  his tribes is  so greatly
Marutuahu, Maru- 
 tuahu first son was Tamatepo, his was Ruaakitua, his
 was Rongomai, his was  Puha,   his was Rakau, his
 was Tutapu, his was Taiaho, his was Te Maua, his
 was Riria, hers, was Moses Mangakahi.   Marutuahu
 fourth son was Ngako his was Kahurautao, his was
 Rautao, his was Hape, his was Kiwi his was Wairua,
 his was Waka, his was Poau, his was Riria, hers was
 Moses Mangakahia.
      I may  write also here the departing words  of
 Moses  before his death, which he stated to Ngatiporou
 who went  to see him, these are his words, hold fast
 to christianity as a father to a person. I reveal these
 \\vords to you, so by the time 1 am dead you have got
 these words, if the people of Harataunga, and Wha-
 ngapoua be in difficulty, do not stand up, but set
 down,  and settle it yourselves, if you do so, you \\vill
 correspond the word of Paul, which says :—Love is
 above all things, be strong  in the Gospel, do not
 desincline that word, that I have spoken to you all,
 you  people  of Whangapou,  and Harataunga,  the
 good  of the Church is how David stated these words.
  How  good, and  how  pleasant, it is for brethren to
  dwell in unity, when this was ended, he spoken a
  farewell word.  Farewell  all my   friends on this
  Island who knows me.
tenei i tino whakaarohia e nga iwi o Hauraki, me
atahi atu iwi ano hoki o te Motu nei, hei kai-riwhi ia
mo te pootitanga Mema mo te Paremata mo te taha
ki te hauauru o te Motu nei, a te tau e haere ake nei.
    Kua tukua mai hoki e nga tangata o Tatatanga o
o ratou pooti mo Mohi kia tu hei Mema ki te Paremata,
9 nga tangata ano hoki o Ngatiporou i Harataunga, i
Mataora Hauraki i runga i to ratou whakaaronui ki
taua tangata. Kua tae mai ano hoki te reta a Hoani
Taipuaa o Ngatiraukawa ki Otaki, he whaaki nana
ka pootitia e ratou ko tona iwi kia Mohi hei Mema
mo ratou mo te Paremata a te pootitanga Mema e
haere ake nei.
    Na, he whakaatu  kau tenei naku i te ahua o te
nui o tenei tangata i roto i o ona iwi ake i Hauraki
nei, i era atu iwi ano hoki o te Motu nei. He tangata
nui ano ia i roto i o ona iwi i Hauraki nei, he ranga-
tira ia i o ona tupuna he uri ia no nga tama tokorua a
Marutuahu, (Tokorima  hoki nga tama katoa a Maru-
tuahu (na kona ia ka tunui i runga i o ona iwi ka wa-
iho ia hei kai hautu i runga i tona waka i Hauraki, i
roto i nga ra katoa i a ia i te Ao nei.
     Na, kanui te hinga nui o nga iwi o tenei tangata
mo  tona matenga,  ehara i to mea na te rangatira o
ona i o ona tupuna i pouri nui ai o ona iwi kia ia,
kaore, engari na tana mahara, whai whakaaro, whai
kupu, ko te take ano ia tenei o nga iwi ke atu o te
Motu  nei i pirangi mai ai kia ia.
    Na, e te kai tuhi o te Wananga, e hara i te mea
no matou anake tenei tangata i o ona whakatupuranga
engari no tatou tahi. Haunga  raia toua ahua hoata-
nga kia tatou i runga i te ahua o nga kupu me nga
hamumutanga. Penei me te tangata iwi ke, he toa
katoa  nei kia tatou katoa i te Ao.  Engari  he uri
ia no koutou, he uri hoki ia no matou. He mea tika
 kia pouri tahi tatou mo toua tinana kua ngaro atu nei
 i a tatou. Ka tuhia ki konei tona kauwhau i o ona
 tupuna i nga tama tokorua a Marutuahu. Ko Maru-
 tuahu, taua matamua  tonu ko Tamatepo tana ko
 Ranaakitua, tana ko Rongomai, tana ko Puha, tana
 ko te Rakau,  tana ko Tutapu,  tana ko  Taiaho,
 tana  ko te Mana,  taua ko  Riria, tana ko  Mohi
i Mangakahia; Ko Marutuahu ano tana tama tuawha,
I ko te Ngako, tana ko Kahurautao, tana ko Rautao,
 tana ko Hape, tana ko Kiwi, tana ko Te Wairua,
 tana ko Te  Waka,  tana ko  Poau; tana ko  Riria,
 tana ko Mohi Mangakahia.
     Me tuhi hoki e ahau ki konei nga kupu poro-
 poroaki a Mohi i mua tata i tona matenga. He  mea
 whakapuaki  atu e ia kia Ngatiporou i haere atu kia
 kite i a ia :—Ko aua kupu enei, hei konei te iwi, kia
 mau  ki te whakapono  hei matua  mo  te tangata, i
 whakapuakina atu ai nga kupu nei e ahau kia koutou
 mo taku mate rawa ake kua puta atu nga kupu nei, 
 ki te whai raruraru koutou nga tangata o Harataunga,
 me o Whangapoua, kaua e turia ki runga, nohoia iho
 ki raro, ata whiriwhiri ai e koutou ano ; ki te pena
 koutou ka rite i 8 koutou te kupu a Paora e mea nei.
 Ko te aroha te mea nui atu i nga mea katoa, kia kaha
 ki te whakapono,  kei whakaparatakotia  e koutou
 tena kupu aku, e ki atu ana ahau kia koutou katoa e
 nga tangata o Whangapoua, me Harataunga, ko te pai
 o  tenei mea o  te karakia, he whakakotahi  i nga
 tangata i runga i te whakapono, na kona hoki i pena
 ai te kupu a Kawiri. Ano te pai, ano te ahuareka o
 te nohoanga o nga tuakana o nga teina i runga i te

  whakaarokotahi. Ka mutu  tenei, ka puta ano te kupu
  poroporoaki:-—
      Hei konei ra  e aka toa katoa i te Motu nei e
mohio  ana ki a au :—-Ka whakahua i te waiata:—
      Î hakiri korero tenei te whakaara,
      Nahau  e. Tikitiki o ki mata po tonu.
      Kihai rawa i purutia i te huka te kaha,
 -    E noho ana au i te wai makuhea,
    I te puta kari ra e heke i raro ra,
      Nana te whai tohu manuka nei au,
      Hua  mai koutou kei te ngaro te aroha,
       Tenei raia te tope haere nei i i.
      Hei  konei ra te iwi, hei konei, e Mio kei pouri
  koe kia au, ta te mea ka mate ano te tinana hei utu
  mo  nga hara, he oranga ia te Wairua mo te tikanga,
  e toru meneti i muri iho i enei kupa ka moe, heoi ano
  na te kai tuku korero o te matenga o Mohi Manga- 
  kahia,

  i mate i te 19 o Maehe kua taha nei, he tamaiti pai
  taua tamaiti, he tino tamaiti no Ngatiawa, no Ngati 
  Rakawa,  i tu i te pu na tetahi tamaiti, ko Parata te
  ingoa,  nana i pupuhi,  i haere atu raua ki te kai
