THURSDAY, JUNE 22, 1876.
BY request we publish a report of the proceedings of the
late meeting at Pakowhai, of the representatives from the
Maori tribes of New Zealand.
HE WHATU HOU NA TE TARI MAORI I TE KAKAHU MONA.
—Kua tae mai te rongo korero, kua whakaae a Hori Karaka
Tawiti, mokopuna a Te Wharepapa, o Te Ihutai i Hokia-
nga, Mema Maori ki te Paremata, kia mahi tahi aia hei
Mema mo te Kawanatanga a Te Makariri ma. E kiia
ana no te haerenga a Te Kawana ma ki Tokerau, a Hori
Karaka i ki kiia ai e Te Kawanatanga, a whakaae ana ai a
hei boa mo ratou. K kiia ana no te haerenga mai o Hori
Karaka ki Akarana, i tana haere i haere mai ai i Ngapuhi,
ki Poneke, he mea tiaki aia i Akarana o te Tari Maori,
kei korerotia aia e ana hoa tawhito, u koi tahuri ano aia
kei mahi mo tana iwi mo te Maori. E mea ana tetahi
Nupepa o Te Waipounamu. " Mehemea koa, e whakaturia
ana nga Mema o Te Kawanatanga ra kia tae ki nga ra e
mahi ai aua Mema, a kitea ai te matau o ana Mema, penei
e hara te whakatu i a Hori Hori Karaka i te mea, he
maminga kia kore ai aia e Pooti mo taua iwi Maori."
Ahakoa enei korero a nga Nupepa, ko matou ko Te
Wananga o whakahawea ana ki aua korero. E mohio
ara matou kia Hori Karaka, a e kore taua tangata e
ngakau rua. Ko tana whakaaro e mau tonu aia hei tautoko
mo tana iwi i te Maori, a ko te whakamoka a Te Kawana-
tanga e kore rawa e mau i te mangai o taua Mema.

MEETING OF CHIEFS AT PAKOWHAI.
V
———+———
June 2, 1876.
THE Committee of Tamatea assembled this day with all
the representatives of the tribes at Pakowhai.
The following are the tribes who were represented:—
Ngatikahungunu, from Te Wairoa and Turanga ; the
Ngatiporou ; the Atiawa, from Whakatane ; the Ngatitu-
wharetoa, from Whakatane ; the Arawa; the Ngatimata-
whaiti; the Ngatituwharetoa, from Taupo; the Ngatiapa;
the Ngatimatepu ; the Ngatiupokoiri ; the Ngatitama,
from Patea; the Ngatihori ; the Ngatikurukuru ; the
Ngati whakapiti ; the Ngaitahu ; the Ngatipakapaka ; the
Ngatimutuahi; the Ngatikahungunu, from Wairarapa ;
and may other tribes and sub-tribes from Hawke's. Bay.
The meeting was opened at 10 a.m. on the 2nd June,
in the school-house, at Pakowhai.
HENARE MATUA, Chairman of the meeting, rose and
said : O people and Chiefs of the tribes, the subjects which
we are to discuss, are to be put to this meeting by way
of motions. These I will for the present pass by, and say
two words, which are words of importance. First : The
laws of the world we doing evil to us, and we have been
|
|

TE WANANGA.
asked to assemble here to discuss the various matters
which cause the people to moan; and let us endeavor to
find out those things which bring evil on us, so that we
may find some mode of dealing with those evils, and
thereby be able to recommend some line of action to be
taken by the Parliament to aleviate those evils. Second: I
say we are acting in a peaceable manner, and if we wish
to arrive at any object for good, by which we may find
the path of light, and by which our determination shall
consummate in obtaining that which we are now brooding
over, in our minds. Such can only be obtained by true
worship and obedience to God. Though the tribes of
these Islands have been scattered in various directions
(in their behalf in God), we can not now obviate the past.
But I say, be steadfast in Christian worship to God, so
that we may obtain the good we seek, and our wishes
shall be fulfilled. I will not speak longer on this subject,
but will now read the motion put into my hands, which I
am to propose to this meeting. Any matter brought
before this meeting for discussion, being a matter which
is to bo laid before the New Zealand Parliament, proposing
some subject on which pass an Act of Assembly, the votes
must be unanimous to authorise such proposal to he sent
to our members. Those subjects which are not clear to
yon, or the voice of this meeting in giving ; its vote, shall
remain for a future sitting of this meeting. I will
now read the paper of motions put into my hand, it is
headed " Subjects to be discussed by the assembled tribes
at Pakowhai on the 31st May, 1876."
Subject 1. That we openly and steadfastly declare our
obedience to the. Queen of England as our Queen and
that we truthfully publish our determination to fulfil,
and submit to, and at all times to obey her laws.
Subject 2. We think that the act of making the tribes
of these Islands one, will be a just and good act. And
that we assemble, and see each other, and that we
discuss subjects relative to those matters of which we
complain, and that we select and put into respectful
language our wishes, to be laid before the Parliament
of New Zealand, for their favorable consideration.
Subject 3. We say that it is desirable that a meeting of
Chiefs should take place each year, to consider all
subjects or matters in which the Maori race is con-
cerned, and to consider the evils under which we now
labor, and to put into respectful language all subjects
which our members may lay before the Parliament of
New Zealand. The assembly of Chiefs each year, shall
determine where the meeting shall be held each year
following.
Subject 4. We will select those men who may be willing
to act as a Committee to carry out all those matters
implied in subjects Nos. 2 and 3 above.
Subject o. We propose to repeal the existing law re-
specting Maori members of the New Zealand Parlia-
ment, viz., the law which allows few members into
Parliament, for five years only. Let a new law be
passed, one that shall be permanent, giving the
Maori people the same number of members in accord-
ance with the number of the population, as that given
to the Europeans in proportion to the European popu-
lation. And that the present boundaries of the dis-
tricts in which the Maori people vote, shall be done
away with, anu that the boundaries of the district
dividing the people of the Generic tribes be given
• instead, the boundaries of the now electoral dis-
tricts.
Subject G. We are of the opinion that the manner of
purchasing land ia accordance with the regulation
now in force, is evil, and the cause of much confusion,
and that all land purchasing under such regulations
should cense. That land should not be bought in
unalienated districts. That not till a majority of the
Maori people have consented, shall land be surveyed
or put into the Native Lands Court. And not till a.
majority shall have given their consent shall land be
surveyed, put into the Native Lands Court, or sold.
And in all districts where the consent has not been
given to the land being sold, in no case shall money
be paid in advance for land in such district, to those*
Natives who claim the land iu such district. That
Government officers shall not. without authority,
or invitation from the majority of Natives, go into
Native districts, and annoy by requesting the Natives
to put their lands through the Native Lands Court,
and to sell them. Let the Natives use their own dls-
cretion as to the survey, or passing them through the
Native Lands Court.
Subject 7. We think the law which enables the
Government to withhold those Native lands, (being
private property of the Maori people) from purchase
by private Europeans, must be repealed.
Subject 8. We think that the laws by which the Native
Lands Court was instituted, and by which it now
exercises its power, must be repealed, and that the
Parliament of New Zealand enact a new law, oue
which is not marred by ambiguity or contradictions,
and by which the Maori lands ran be fully investi-
gated, and correctly settled. And that such new law
shall empower the Adjudicators of the Native Lands
Court to hold the same power as the Magistrate's of
the other Courts. And that the Government shall
not have any control over such Adjudicators of the
Native Lands Court.
Subject 9. We assert that the present Government, which
was put into power in the year 1869, is a bad Govern-
ment, it does not do anything correctly. It has not
done any good work for the Maori people. Let the
Parliament put this Government out of power.
Subject 10. That we forward a respectful Petition to our
Queen, asking her to send a truth-speaking mao, one
who acts with justice, who shall investigate the cause
of our wrongs, and to take our evidence, and forward
it to our Queen.
Subject 11. We say that the election of the Maori
member for the East Coast Electoral District be not
set aside, or acted on as illegal. Put let the Govern-
ment officers alone be condemned for this act, and
put out of their offices.
HENARE MATUA continued : Those are all the subjects
of motions which I have now read, and all those subjects
have been sent in writing to you, and those arc the subjects*
for us to discuss in this meeting. I will now read the
letters forwarded to this meeting by the tribes, so that you
may also see their thoughts on various matters. The first
letter is as follows :—
Ohinemutu, May 26, 1876.
To Henare Tomoana, Renata Kawepo. Henare Matua,
Paora Kaiwhata, Noa Te Hianga, and Karaitiana Takamoana,
—O Fathers. salutations to you. the letters from your Com-
mittee have been received, enclosing subjects for our con-
sideration ; those subjects are very clear. O Committee of
i Heretaunga be strong, be brave, and carry to a good issue
! some of those subjects. Though one be gained, that will be
I worth the trouble of acting. I could not attend at our meeting
on account of being detained by matters here, over which I
have no control, which matters I have not yet been able to
settle. Do not murmur on account of our not going to our
meeting. O Fathers work, so that man may have a name to
live. The future will speak of the good of your acts, and you
will be the cause of life to the public. From your friend
i • ROTOHIKO HAUPAPA,
Sent by the hand of PETERA PUKUATUA.

Parewanui, Rangitikei, May 23, 1876.

which we shall obtain justice for all the people of these
Islands, and you have also seen (or discerned) these things
by which evil comes on us. Yes, give to Caesar those things

CORRESPONDENCE.
To THE EDITOR OF THE WANANGA.
Friend.—This is an account of some sheep which we killed
because of our fear of the scab. Friend do you print this in
your paper at once, so that the eyes may see, and the ears of
the Maoris may hear it. And also that the Europeans of
all places of our land may know. Friend, the flock owners,
friends, the Inspectors of sheep, and sellers of sheep. Friends,
the sheep which were passed as sound by the Inspector at
Whanganui to be brought to Murimotu. have all been killed
by us on the 28th of April," 1876. These sheep numbered
93, and with them came also sheep from Patea. 116, which
made a flock of 209. All these sheep we killed for fear of the
foot-rot being given to our flocks. But we have given for the
sheep we killed, that ia two sheep for each oue we have killed.
We did not see that the sheep we killed had the disease. The
eye did not detect the disease. The sheep looked very well,
but the suspicious had thought that sickness was in them
and for this reason, these sheep came from a district which.
was infected by toe foot-rot. We heard that such disease
commenced at Whanganui, and on to Akitio it ends. Hence,
our suspicion of the sheep- We, the Maori people, cannot
cope with the disease. This 5s a word to our friend Mr. Moor-
house, and to Captain Birch, and Mr. Meane. Now friends, do
you repay us in sheep for some of the sheep we have given to
prevent the disease from spreading in our district, on yours
and our flocks Do you give 299 sheep to «s. This word is
to the sheep Inspector of Whanganui. Friend, we do not
wish to say. that you neglect your duty, but what we say is to
caution yon, as you Europeans know all about this great
work of attending to sheep. We say to you that we began.
keeping sheep in the year 1859, and up to this year 1876,
our flocks have not in that time had any disease. As we did
not, nor will we allow sheep to be brought here after those
sheep we have destroyed. To our Maori friepds at Whan-
ganui, we congratulate you on your trying to keep flocks of
sheep on your Iand at Murimoni but be cautious, as Murimotu
is near Patea, and also near Napier and Taupo, and sheep are
sure to go to and fro. Friends, your land has not been trodden
by diseased sheep, and do you get only those sheep that are
found, do not buy any from runs where there has been disease,
do not look at the beauty of the sheep, but at the sheep which
are not diseased. The foot-rot is a very-great disease. If
diseased sheep travel over your land, the disease will remain
in the soil and all sheep will set it and you cannot get rid
of that evil. Hence we say you must with us be cautious.
"We think that the Maiori people can, if they like, attend to
flocks of sheep equally with the care taken by the European.
of their flocks. We have had seventeen years experience with.
our sheep here, and there has not been any disease amongst
them all that time. Now friends, let us look well to this
matter in future, so that diseased sheep may not be brought
from any place to Murimotu. If any Europeans does sell
sheep to a Maori of this place, which sheep, are not sound,
the act will be that equal to murder, because the Europeans
know the danger, and the evil which such, disease brings to
flocks of sheep. We say. and our word is one of determina-
tion. do not let .any sheep be brought here after these we have
destroyed. If you wish to have sheep, buy them from districts
which are not affected with disease. Enough from us, the
Komiti of Patea. Written by
PAD,

Ta Hori Kerei kia hoki mai hei ata hurihuri mo tana whakaeke
ki Waikato, i uru au ki te Komiti o te Hahi, ka hoki mai aia i
Te Keepa o Kuruhopa e Kawana ana, ka ura ona Kawanatanga
ki Nui Tireni. .
Ka tino whakaturia e ia nga Ateha Maori, nga Penihana
Koroheke nga Kaunihera Maori, nga Tumuaki Maori, nga
Komihana Pakeha, mo nga takiwa Maori, me nga rori o te
rohe a te Arawa kia mahia, marama tonu taua Koroheke ki
enei whakataki. Taihoa e whakamarama nga he ki muri nei.
Ata whakaaro aro i enei tatau tahi ki enei Kaumatua teko-
rua e whakatikatika ia nei e nga panuitanga a oku hoa.
E aku tuakana kei pohehe tatou ki a na Maia, kei pohehe
ano ki nga mahi o te Paremata, ahakoa kaore au i uru ki tana
whare, kua kite an i te kauhuri mo te motu, me te whakahae-
re kotahi o ratou i nga Ture mo nga iwi e rua. Kaati enei.
Kiu iti aku wahi e ata whakaatuatu ki te marama o te haere
a Ta Tanara Makarini.
1. Ko te kohuru o Manukau kai rori i Pirongia.
2. Ko te kohuru a Wiremu Maihi te Rangikaheke, raua
ko Kanara Hone ia Tipene o te Urewera i Ohiwa, i kohurutia
i runga i nga maungarongo, ka toru ki taua iwi te maungarongo
Rapata Wahawaha. A Wepiha Apanui, a Meita Keepa
Whanganui.
3. Ko te kohuru a Purukutu i Maungatautari.
4. Kohuru Tauaro Te Mataa i Oropi Tauranga,
5. Kohuru a Tamaikoha i a Pene Waiti i a Wi Popata,
i kotikotia, i taona, i kainga, pau ake, ki te puku.
6. Kohuru a te Whakatohea i a te Wakana Minita.
7. Kohuru a te Waru i a Karaitiana, i te Wairoa.
8. Ko te Kohuru o te Waitere, i kohurutia i Kawhia.
9. Ko tana whakahokinga atu i etahi whenua i riro mai
i te rau o te patu a hoatu ana kiia hapu kiia hapa hau hau,
kiia hapu hau hau, ki te tangata kotahi e noho nei i te takiwa
o te Tai Rawhiti me te ra too. me te Tuaraki. me te Taitonga.
I ata whakahokia atu ana hapa ki o ratou waahi tuturu ake
na e waru kohuru, me nga whenua i ata whakahokia atu ki
nga hau hau. kua horoia atu te ngakau Rino ki te wai mara-
ma a te Kawanatanga o tona Minita tanga, kua mau te rongo
kua iri nga. patu me nga whitiki ki te whare, ka pai Makarini
mo enei.
E rua nga mea kaore i horoia e taua Minitatanga.
1. Ko nga hara a te Kooti Rikirangi.
2. Ko nga hara a Kereopa, Tuahangata.
Me ata whakamarama e au, nga take i kore ai e taea te
horoi nga hara o aua koroke.
! Kereopa mehemea ko tana whakahaunga anake kia patua
a te Wakana a mutu ake, kua taea te hurihuri. Tena, he
maha nga take kino a Kereopa.
1. Ko te whakahaunga kia patua.
2. Ko tana hoatutanga i nga toto o te Wakana kia inu-
mia e nga wahine, e nga taane, e nga tamariki o te Whakato-
hea.
3. Ko taua otanga i nga karu, a pau ake ki tona puku.
4. Ko tana whakahaunga kia tapahia te upoko hei kawe
kawe haere maana ki nga takutai o te Rawhiti, ara hei mahi
whakataratara i ona Hapu kuare poauau, kia ora katoa ki te-
kohuru.
5. Ko tana whakaurunga i a ia me ona Hapu hei tuara
mo te Kooti Rikirangi i Patetere.
6. Ko tana kainga i nga tangata tokotoru o te Arawa i
to Tapiri, i kohurutia e ia ki te hangi, no Ngati Rangitini no
Ngati Manawa aua tangata, pauake ki tona puku.
Otira ko te tino tuatahi o ana kohuru, ko nga Pakeha toko-
rua i kohurutia e ia i Patea Taranaki, i waiho tetahi hei
herehere, i patua tetahi, ko te pane i kawea haeretia e ia hei
whakatara mana i nga Kapu kuare o te Tai Rawhiti, toi» i
mate ai a te Wakana.

1. Ki te pakaru ia ta Hori Kerei, nga tikanga o te Parema-
ta, a whakatuheratia ana tana whare ki toona iwi Maori, ae
ka taea e ia te ruihitanga o nga hapu Maori o tona
Kawanatanga. Me etahi atu Kawanatanga i mai atu ia ia.
2. A ka taea e ia te weet tuarua nga taimaha o te poaka
i waetitoputia i mua te Poaka, nga huruhuru nga paru, kawe-
eti ai eia te poaka anake.
8. Ka taea hoki e ia to ruku te haika kua motu atu kite
riro o nga wai hohonu. Ki te taea e ia enei putake e toru te
hurihuri, a e kore au e mea ra e na atu tangata e ki ata hei
Minita i» mote whare, kao, engari hei Kawana tuturu ia ake
ake mote motu. Ehara taku i te whakatikatika ia te Maka-
rini, ia ta Hori Kerei ranei, kaore e rite tahi ana to raua ma-
rama i tetahi wa to raua matapouri i tetahi wa. Titiro ia
nei kite motu, kua rakaunui nga mahinga a nga koroheke e
whakaaturia nei e nga panuitanga, me tenei hoki kaata wha-
whakaataata nei. Kihai hoki aua koroheke i ata mohio ki
te kupu o te tiriti o Waitangi i kii nei; ka tohungia e te Ku-
ini ki nga Maori, to ratou whenua to ratou mana o ratou motu
nehenehe, o ratou moana ika ki o ratu uri me o ratou
whakatipuranga. Na, e aku hoa whakaatu kapa, kaa
whatiia ianei te tiriti o Waitangi e ta Hori Kerei a kei
whea ia nei te tatanga atu ki te tahi ki tetahi a te
wehenga ki tetahi ki tetahi o nga koroheke nei kaati
enei. I tuku pitihana ahau i ngara o Akuhata l875 a tae atu ki
te ringa o ta Hori Kerei i panuitia e ia i te aroaro o te Pare-
mata e ai tana whakaatu mai kia matou nga putake o taua
Pitihana he tono kia 26 nga Mema Maori, e whakaae e ta
whare kia pootia e nga Maori 1876 ka pahu e ake, a i 1877
ranei, kia whita kai whaka maori mo aua Mema, a, ki te kore
enei putake e topu ki te tono tahi i te motu kia tono kia whakaetia
e te whare, a kaati, titiro ki nga kupu a Karaitiana Takamoana, i
korero poouri ai i roto i te Paremata. Me whakauru atu he
Mema kia nui.
1. Me whakauru, atu he Mema kia nui.
2. Me whakaara he Paremata e te Maori mo te mota.
3. Me puta atu nga Mema Maoriki waho i tenei whare, waiho
te whare nei mo nga Pakeha anake. Ko au ianei e whaka-
ae aua ki nga kupu e toru a Karaitiana, hei tikanga tuturu
ma ia iwi maia iwi o te motu. No te mea kua tuturu nga ku-
pu o tana whare.
1. kia tokowha tonu nga Mema Maori e tu ki te Paremata.
2. Ka tino whakamutua te whakauru Mema Maori, a 1877
e haere ake nei. Koi nei an i whakaae tuturu ake ai ki nga
kupu a Karaitiana, me Paremata ke mo nga Maori otira me
tono katoa te motu ki te Kuini Wikitoria kia whaarahia ake
be Paremata Maori mo te motu, kia ko tahi ano mana e tono
ai, kia kotahi ano whaaonga, weetitanga, kia toopu ai nga ta-
imaha, otiia, kia kotahi ano panuitanga o enei korero, ahakoa
e korero roa. Kaati au i konei tatari atu ai. Na too koutou
hoa mokai koreroroa.

mo te mutunga o taua hui, nga kai o taua tina, ko nga kai
katoa a te Pakeha ; e rua nga ra i tu ai taua tina. E hoa
