NAMA-—51. NEPIA, HATAREI, 23 TIHEMA. 1876. PUKAPUKA 3.
PANUI MO TE WATI. !
Ki te mea ka rokohanga te tangata i te whenua mamao noa i
atu. a ka taapu tana Wati. He mea ako atu tenei kia mohio
ai taua tangata ki te whakahaere ano i tana Wati kia tika ai.
Me titiro te tangata ki te wa e puta mai ai te ra. a e too ai te
ra, kei reira te wa tika mo te taima mo te Wati :—
HE PANUI KI NGA TANGATA KATOA, E TUKUA
ATU ANA TE WANANGA KIA RATOU.
Ma te tini e hoe te waka ka tere ai. ma te ahu whenua
ki te ngaki kai. ka ranea ai he o ma te kai tahu kai, a e
ora ai a tamaroto, whai hoki, ma te utu mai a nga kai
tango i TE WANANGA nei, ka hua ai he moni hei utu mo
te mahinga i tenei Nupepa mo te Maori. He mea atu
tenei ki nga tangata e tukua atu ana TE WANANGA nei kia
ratou, ara, ki te hunga ki ano i utu i a ratou utu tau mo
TE WANANGA, kia tukua ruai a ratou utu. kia kaha ai TE
WANANGA ki te ami rongo korero mo te iwi. He toetoe
ano te toetoe, he raupo ano te raupo, he kakaho ano te
kakaho, otiia ma te ringa tangata e raweke aua mea ka
kiia ai he whare. He korero ano te korero, he minamina
ano to te ngakau kia rongo i nga korero o nga mahi katoa
a te iwi, otiia ma te moni ka noho ai aua rongo kororo ki
TE WANANGA. Koia matou i mea at» ai, kaua e whaka-
tikia TE WANANGA ki nga kai, ara. ki te utu tau mo taua
Nupepa nei, kia kaha toua ai ki tana mahi mo te iwi.
TENEI TE TINO KUPU KIA KOUTOU. KI NGA
IWI MAORI KATOA O AOTEAROA.
A TE marama o Tihema nei ka haere atu nga tangata •
toko-rua o te Komiti o TE WANANGA ki nga kaainga katoa
o Aotearoa nei. He rapu atu ta raua i te kupu kia wha-
kaaetia e nga iwi Maori, kia hirihiria nga karakia, kia
whakairoa te papa, a kia puhipuhia TE WANANGA o te iwi
Maori, kia aranga ai nga tapu o tana atua nei. A kia
taraia ano hoki nga hoe, kia aukahatia ano hoki te waka i
noho ai tana WANANGA, e te iti, e te rahi, e te pio o te iwi,
kia kaha ai, kia huhu ai reo o taua WANANGA, ki te iwi
katoa, i te roa o te tau.
HE TANGATA MATE.
No TE 14 o Tihema i mate ai a Ahikowhai, he wahine
rangatira no Ngatihamua i Kaitekateka, i Wairarapa. E
rua ona tau i takoto turoro ai, a mate noa nei.

tuhi e tona urunga i te WANANGA. ana tukua atu ki aia.

NGA KUPU POROPOROAKI A TA TANARA
MAKARINI.
Ta
Tanara Makarini ki te reo Maori. He mea hoki ra kia
tika ai te kupu onamata, " kai atu, kai mai, ka ngo-
hengohe." Ahakoa kihai te Minita Maori o nehe, i
tuku mai i ana kupu kia taia e matou, e kore matou
e mauahara, a koia i taia ai aua korero ki te iwi
Maori e matou. E hara nei ana kupu i te tikanga
korero, kahore kau he pai, a kahore he kino o ana
kupu e tau ki te aha, ki te aha. Koia matou i mea
ai, maumau kau kia whiti te ra e kitea ai aua kupu e
te iwi. E rua ano upoko kupu o aua korero, hei
kiinga kupu ma matou. Te tuatahi, ko te kupu e ki nei.
E kore e rere ke te tikanga mahi a te Kawanatanga i
mahia e Ta Tanara Makarini. Mehemea koa he pono
aua kupu nei, taukiri raia, e te kino mo te iwi. Otiia
he tito kau, he wawata na te horihori. E mea ana
hoki nga iwi o nga Motu nei, ka rere ke noa atu te
tikanga o te Kawanatanga, a e tae ki te mutu te mahi
o te Tari Maori.
Te tua-rua o nga kupu, ko nga kupu e ki nei, kia
ata whakahaerea e nga Maori nga tikanga mo nga
mea e tautohetohe ana ki nga Pakeha. Na ra te ako
kahore, mana rawa ano tenei tu ako, e ako mai, i te
mea hoki, e takoto tata nei ano nga mea e tautohetohe
ai te Maori kia Ta Tanara Makarini, mo ana whenua
i hoko ai, i nga whenua e tata ana ki tana whenua i
Maraekakaho. A ko te kupu e kiia nei, kia ata
mahia ana he, he mea pea nana, kia utu aia i nga Maori
tao aua tautohe, kia tae ki te hamanga kau o nga moni
e tika hei utu mo aua whenna tautohe. " Whakane-
wha mai koe i aku kanohi kia newha, e kere e
newha." He mea hoki pea nana, kia aroha nga
iwi Maori ki nga Pakeha hoko whenua, otiia, ko
te tino nui o te aroha o te iwi Maori, me mahi
ki aia, kia iti ai nga utu mo ana mea e tautetete
nei te Maori ki aia.
" NGA KUPU POROPOROAKI A TA TANARA
MAKARINI KI NGA MAORI."
E HOA MA :—Tena koutou. I te tunga o te Paremata
o te tau nei, i mea ai a Meiha Atikina te Tumauaki o
te Kawanatanga, ki te Paremata, kua tata nga ra oku
e mutu, ai taku mahi Kawanatanga ; a he tuhituhi atu
tenei naku kia rongo koutou, kua mana tana kupu i
au. A ko nga mahi o mua i mahia e ahau, ka mahia
e tetahi o aku hoa o te Kawanatanga.
Ko te whitu tenei o nga tau, a nuku ake, oku i
mahi ai i te mahi o to Minita Maori, a i aua tau, he nui
te aro mai, me te mahi pai mai o nga rangatira Maori
o nga iwi o nga Motu nei ki au. Koia ahau i mea
atu ai i enei kupu whakapai atu aku kia koutou, a kia
ratou ano hoki, ki nga rangatira o nga iwi Maori, i
kaha nei ta ratou mahi tautoko i aku mahi, i nga tini
mea katoa, a i nga mea tino pai, e noho marire ai te
iwi i takiwa katoa o nga Mota nei.
Na aua mahi i noho pai ai, a i tika ai te whakaaro
o te iwi, i nga takiwa i noho whawhai i mua. A
koia te whakaaro i mea ai, e minamina ana te hiahia
o te ngakau, kia mau tonu taua noho marire a nga iwi
Maori ki nga iwi Pakeha i aua takiwa, a ki nga wahi
katoa ano hoki o nga Motu nei, a kia kaua taua noho
pai e pokea e te kino a nga tau e haere ake nei. E
kore e rere ke nga tikanga a te Kawanatanga ki
nga Maori, a nga tau e haere ake ne, i nga
tikanga i mahia e te Kawanatanga i nga tau
kua pahure. A koia ahau i mea ai, e tino hiahia ana
ahau kia mau tonu te mahi tautoko pai a nga Ranga-
tira Maori i nga mahi a Te Kawanatanga, me nga
Apiha ano hoki o te Kawanatanga, kia pera me a
ratou tautoko i te pai mo nga iwi e rua o nga tau kua
pahure nei. E mau tonu tuku titiro matatau ki nga
mahi a nga iwi Maori: ki a ratou mahi ahewhenua ki
te ngaki kai, me te ako a nga tamariki Maori ki te
reo Pakeha kia mohiotia e ratou, kia kore ai e tupu
ano nga he, i tupu mai, i te kore mohio o te Maori ki
to te Pakeha reo. me te Pakeha ano toki i kuare ki
to te Maori reo.
He hiahia noku, kia mau tonu ta koutou mahi ata
whakahaere merire, kia kaua e mahia wereweratia nga
mahi tautohetohe : ahakoa he tautohe na koutou ano
kia koutou tangara Maori: he tautohe ranei na koutou
ko nga Pakeha : me ata mahi aua tautohe i te ngakau
marire. Koia nei taku hiahia mo koutou, kia tupu
haere koutou ki te pai nae te ora."
Naku na to koutou noa pono na.

SIR DONALD McLEAN'S ADDRESS.
WE publish below in Maori the text of Sir Donald's
genuine address to the Maoris. We do this as a mat-
ter of fair play—although the Ex-Minister had not
the courtesy or good sense to send us a copy for pub-
lication. The address is on the whole a chip in
porridge. It will do neither good nor harm, and
might just as well have never seen daylight. There
are but two statements in it calling for even passing
notice. The first is the assertion that Native policy
of the existing Government will not differ from that
of Sir Donald's Government. This would indeed be
bad news if authentic—but, thank heaven, it is not
the fact. The country hopes for and expects very
considerable alterations in the " policy"—involving
almost the total abolition of the Department. The
second matter to which we call attention is the hope
expressed in the concluding paragraph, that the
Natives will be guided by moderation in the settle-
ment of their differences with Europeans. This is
rather rich in its way, when one takes into account
the fact that Sir Donald has some little differences of
his own with Natives from whom he claims to have
|

purchased blocks of land adjoining his Maraekakaho
run. Being guided by moderation in those cases, we
presume, will mean letting him have the outstanding
interests for about half their value. Really, Sir
Donald is very artful, for in delivering himself of
such, a paternal platitude he evidently means to score
one for the public and two for himself.
KUA tata nga ra o te Kirihimete, me te Tauhou. A
ka tu ano pea nga hui a nga iwi Maori. me nga
Hakari kai mo aua ra. A ka korero ano pea nga iwi
Maori i nga whakaaro o a ratou mohiotanga i kite ai
ki aua Huihui.
Koia matou i mea ai me puta ano ia matou etahi
take korero e kitea ana e matou mo aua hui hui. Na
te hinengaro i hoake nga mahara i mahi ai te tinana
o te tangata. A ko te hinengaro te mea. o te tangata i
tu a rite ki te Atua nana nei tatou i hanga. Koia
matou i mea ai waiho ma te hinengaro ma te mea e
rite ana ki te Atua e hoake ana i nga korero, hei tikanga
mo nga mahi, me nga mea katoa o aua hui hui. He
tangata ano me tana mohio nui. He tangata ano me
tana mohio iti, a he mea no te kore e rite te mohio o
nga tangata katoa. Koia i rere ke ai nga whakaaro.
He punguru no nga whakaaro a etahi. he marama no
nga whakaaro a etahi, koia i rere ke ai te titiro a te
iwi i nga tikanga o nga Ture hei ako i te iwi nao nga
mahi katoa. Otiia ko nga tikanga kua tau tini noa
atu nga paparanga tangata na ratou aua tikanga i
mahi, ko aua tikanga nga mea kua kiia e te wkakaaro
e tino tika ana era. i te mea hoki, i mahia aua mea e
nga Kahika o mua, a tukua iho ana kia tatou ki nga
uri o muri nei, hei mahi oha ma tatou ki nga mohio-
tanga n nga tupuna. Koia matou i mea ai Tena koa
rapu rapua e nga iwi Maori nga tikanga o te noho, o
te mahi kai. o te mahi hoko hoko taonga a te Pakeha,
rae kore e kitea i reira, he tikanga e mohio nui ai te
Maori, e rite tahi ai te Maori ki to te Pakeha nui. me
to te Pakeha mana, rae to te Pakeha mohio. He mea
hoki na matou, kahore ho mohio o te Pakeha e ngaro
i te Maori, mehemea e aro ana te Maori ki te ako i
aua mea ma ratou ma te Maori. K mea ana matou,
ko to mana a to Pakeha e mahi no: ratou i nga mahi
pai mo te iwi, ko nga inana o nga mohiotanga e kitea
nei e te Pakeha, a ko to maua o nga mahi atawhai a
nga iwi nui o te ao nei kia ratou ki nga iwi o te ao
nei. ho mea ako aua mahara mana pai. o Te Atua
nana nei to kupu, o manaakitia nei. a e Karakia nei
nga iwi mohio o to ao nei kia aia. K mea ata ana
matou, kaua nga Maori e aro atu ki nga mahi pohehe
e kiia nei e nga tangata rapu rongo nui mona, hei
Karakia ma nga Maori. Otiia tahuri atu nga whaka-
aro a nga iwi Maori ki to pukapuka nana nga korero
tapu e manaakitia nei. e mihia nei, e nga iwi tino
mohio katoa o te ao. Ki te mea ka ki to Maori ko te
kupu a Te Atua ta ratou e mea ai hei tikanga arahi ia
ratou, penei ma reira ka timata ai re mahi e kiia nei,
kia iwi kotahi te Pakeha me te Maori.
CHRISTMAS and New Year's Days will soon be here,
and the gatherings of the Tribes no doubt will take
place as usual to partake of the feasts given at these
reasons of the year and to discuss these matters which
have occupied the minds of the chiefs and the people.
We would suggest certain subjects which we recom-
mend for the consideration of the Maori people. The
mind prompts the body to action, and as the mind i»
that part of man, which is of the same never-dying
essence as the God who made us ; therefore, let that
godlike part of man be that, which shall prompt with.
aspirations of justice, all action, and sway all discus-
sions, at your Christinas and New Year's feasts.
Man is so constituted, that each member of a tribe
or community, has his own individual light by which
he beholds the action of his fellowman. The
minds of men are so varied in power, that we do not
each grasp or understand the rules and regulations, by
which our life is to be guided, with the same truth or
knowledge : hence there must be points on which.
men differ. But that which, has been tried and
proved for generations, must be admitted by all, to
have the first, and superior claim to our respect and
imitation, before that which untaught minds can sug-
gest. Hence we say to all the tribes of our Maori
people in New Zealand, discuss those subjects, which
would lead the Maori people to see how far the Euro-
pean customs of living, commerce, and agriculture,
| can be followed by the tribes, to lift them from that
! lower position which they now hold, to a higher and
more equal place with the more enlightened European
! race : with whose intellectual powers the Maori can
| bear a fair comparison. All that influences
• for good, all that knowledge to aleviate sorrow and
pain, all those acts of kindness which have been
i shewn by Nation to Nation, come from that God who
is worshipped by. and whose word, all great Nations
rev. ro and obey.
We also say." do not follow the forms of worship in-
I vented by those who wish, to gain a name amongst the
Maori people, but accept the teaching of that book,
which is the sacred record of the word of God to men
of all ages, and all nations. If you take the word of
God as your guide, such, will be the first step towards
the Maori and the European becoming one people.
HE HUI TIKANGA NUI, NA TE MAORI I OMAHU.
Na Konata Kawepo i karanga te hui e hui nei te Maori
Omahu, kua tae mai nga Rangatira oia wahi oia wahi
o Te Porowini nei. He ui ui ta taua Hui nei, kua pehea:
nga kupu o te hui i tu i Pakowhai i tera Mei, i tukua nei
nga korero o taua Hui ki te Paremata. A kia rapu rapua
ano e tenei hui nga tikanga hei korero ma te hui ka tu
ano a Mei o te tau 1877. Tena e koa nga Maori ana kite
ratou, i te atawhakahaere pai a te Paremata mo etahi o ft
ratou kupu i tuku ai ki te Paremata o te Hui i Pakowhai.
A kuia i kiia ai te kupu, kapai ano kia ata whakahaere
tonu te Maori i a ratou moa i whakahe ai, a kia waiho ma
nga Ture e whakatikatika aua he. kaua i ta te uaua e
kawe a;.
IMPORTANT NATIVE MEETING AT OMAHU.
A VERY large and important Native meeting, called by
Renata Kawepo, is now being held at Omahu. Represen-
tative chiefs from all parts of the province are present.
The principal business is to ascertain to what extent Par-
liament has given effect to the recommendations made to
it by the meeting of the tribes at Pakowhai in May last,
and to consider what subjects should be discussed at the
• next meeting to be held about May of next year. The

taa e haere ake nei. He mea kowe atu i Nepia, i Ahuriri
aua ika.
Kua tae mai a Karaitiana Takamoana ki te Tari o Te
Wanga, nei a e ki ana aia e hara i aia etatahi o nga
korero e kiia nei nana aua kupu i korero ki te Paremata, i
K mea ana a Karaitina, he kupu ke ano ana i ki ai ki te
Paramata he kupu he etahi i taia ki nga pukapuka o te
Paremata. A ko te take i ki ai aia e he ana etahi o ana
kupu i te " Haniata" (pukapuka korero Paremata) i nga
tau o era Paremata i kawea mai nga korero ana i korero
ai ki te Paremata kia Whakatikatikaina eia : i tenei tau,
kihai i kawera mai kia Whakatikaina ana korero. Kia
tika pu ai ki ana tino kupa i Whakapuaki ai ki te Pare-
mata, he wawata kau etahi kupu e kiia nei nana. ;
E ki ana te korero mai o Kihipene, na te ua i he ai nga !
witi me nga mea katoa o te maara, a e kore rawa e whai
kai nga tangata o reira i te tau nei.
"E ki ana te Nupepa o Rangitiki no te S o nga ra o
Nowema i kitea ai e te Pakeha i te whenua i Parekaretu,
he manu nui. E kiia ana e wha pea putu te tiketike o
taua manu, he iti nga parirau a kihai i kaha te rere, ko te

KA korero aia a Te Hiana i nga korero mo Omarunui. I
mea a Te Omana, kia rongo te Paremata nei i ana tu
korero i a Te Omana mo Omarunui, a ka mea atu aia a Te
Hiana, kia rongo ano hoki ratou te Komiti ki ana korero
ki a Te Hiana mo Omarunui ano hoki. E kore e roa tana
korero ki te Komiti, otiia, he pai ano ana korero e rongo
ai te Komiti, e hara i te pai korero ana ake a Te Hiana,
otiia, he rawe no nga tikanga mahi o taua mea o Omarunui,
e whakarongo ahuareka ai te Komiti ki ana korero. A
ma ana korero ano hoki e kite ai te Komiti i te mahi he
o te Tari Maori. A i te he ano hoki o te mahi Ture a te
Paremata nei, a i te tikanga pai kore o nga mahi e mahia
ana mo te iwi Maori. He mea hoki, ko nga tangata i kiia
ma ratou pu ano e tiaki nga iwi Maori, kei murua, kei
pahuatia noatia a ratou mea : Kihai aua tangata i maia ki
te whakaora i nga iwi Maori, no te mea, ka whakaora ratou
i te Maori, a ka whakahe ratou i nga mahi he a etahi
Pakeha penei, a ka kiia mai e aua Pakeha. "I mahi na
hoki koutou i aua mahi, e whakahe na ano koutou." Ko
te whenua i Omarunui, e toru mano ona eka. A tekau-ma-
toru ranei, tekau-ma-wha ranei maero te matara o taua
whenua i te Taone o Nepia. A e ki ana nga pukapuka o
te Kooti Whakawa Whenua Maori. E rua tekau-ma-rima
ranei, e toru tekau ranei nga tangata na ratou taua whenua.
A i taua wahi te kaainga a nga Maori, kotahi rau e rima-
tekau eka o taua kaainga Maori. A he kaainga nohoanga
taua wahi na aua Maori, me a ratou tupuna, mai ano i nga
paparanga tangata tekau-ma-rua, a moroki noa nei. A
i enei ra, he whare Maori kei taua wahi, me nga ngakinga
kai a aua Maori. E mohio ana aia ki te tikanga o te
kupu a Karaitiana Takamoana i ki nei ki te Paremata, he
mea pai ko taua wahi i nohoia nei e te Maori, a ko te wahi
o ratou i tupu ai, o te whanautanga mai ra ano, ko taua
wahi ; hei urupa ano hoki mo ratou, mo te hunga na ratou
taua whenua. A e kore hoki e pai nga Maori kia riro he
taua wahi. A i nga ra i mahia ai taua whenua a Omarunui
ki te Kooti Whakawa Whenua Maori, i mea nga Maori,
ko taua kaainga nohoanga a ratou, ko te kotahi rau e rima-
tekau eka, me wehe ke i te whenua nui, a me mea taua
kotahi rau e rima-tekau eka hei whenua tapu, ara, me
Rahui, kia kaua e riro i te hoko ki te Pakeha. A ko te
Kooti, e kiia nei, ma taua Kooti e mahi he tikanga e tino
mau tika ai te whenua a te Maori, ki nga Maori. A. ko te
mahi ma taua Kooti, he ako i te Maori kia wehe ke he
Karauna Karaati rao taua kotahi rau e rima-tekau eka,
kaua e huia tahitia ki te Karauna Karaati mo te toru
mano eka. Otiia, kihai te Kooti i ako i aua Maori, i mea
taua Kooti, me kotahi ano Karaati mo te whenua katoa,
a taihoa ano e wehe ke, hei tapu taua kotahi rau e
rima-tekau eka. A i muri tata iho, he mea Riihi taua
, whenua a Omarunui e nga Maori. Ko te toru mano eka
te mea i Riihitia e te Maori, ko te kotahi rau e rima-tekau
. eka i toe. kihai tera i tukua ki te Riihi e nga Maori. A
• he mea titiro e nga Pakeha ki te Karauna Karaati, ai kite
ratou, ko taua kotahi rau e rima-tekau eka kei roto i te
Karauna Karaati o te whenua nui, a no te mea e kitea
taua mea nei, i mea ai tetahi Pakeha Kai-tiaki Toa o
. Nepia, kia tuku taonga, rama aia ki nga tangata tokorua,
no raua anake nga ingoa i tuhia e te Kooti Whakawa
; Whenua Maori ki te Karauna Karaati mo Omarunui katoa.
A hoatu aua e taua Pakeha he taonga, he rama ki aua
; Maori. E hara i te mea he mea tono o aua Maori kia raua,
I nana ano i tuku noa aua taonga kia raua. A no te roa o
te tau o raua, o aua Maori i nama ai ki taua Pakeha, i
mea atu ai taua. Kai-tiaki Toa kia raua. He nui a korua
nama, me Mokete ta korua whenua ki au. Ano ka ahua
| wehi aua Maori, ka mea atu raua ki taua Kai-tiaki Toa.
Me Mokete e maua te whenua e Riihitia ana e te Pakeha
i Omarunui. Otiia, kahore te kotahi rau e rima-tekau eka
i riro i te Riihi o taua Pakeha i Riihi nei i Omarunui. A
i te ra i Mokete ai taua Kai-tiaki Ton. kihai aia i mohio, i
riro i aia, i tana Mokete te kotahi rau te rima-tekau eka i
. kiia ra hei Rahui ma nga Maori. Ano ka tino nui rawa
nga nama a aua Maori ki tana Kai-tiaki Toa. ka mea atu
ano taua Pakeha ki aua Maori. Me utu e korua nga moni
o te Mokete, a ki te kore tena e taea e korua te mahi, me
hoko e korua te whenua hei utu mo nga moni o te Mokete.
A he raru no raua, i riro ai te whenua, ara, i hokona ai o
I raua taua whenua, a ka kite ano aia, na taua mokete i hau
I katoa ano hoki te wahi whenua e nohoia ana e nga Maori

teretere i mahia ki te pukapuka i te 1 o Hepetema, a no
te 3 o taua Hepetema ra ano i mana ai te Ture whaka-
kahore i te hoko a te tangata hotahi. He tini atu
ano i enei etahi mahi penei ano. E hara i te mea pai
ki aia kia Te Hiana, kia korero aia i aua mea nei. A te
take a Te Hiana i korero ai i aua mea nei, he mea na
etahi tangata ki te korero nui i nga kupu whakapai take
kore mo Te Makarini, i te mea hoki, kahore kau he mahi
nui a Te Makarini mo nga Motu nei, i nga mahi a etahi
Pakeha. A ka tatari aia a Te Hiana kia utua enei korero
ana, a ka korero ano aia i etahi atu mea ano, e tino kite pu
ai te Paremata nei i te tika o ana mea e whakapae
nei. A ko ana mahi e whakahe nei aia a Te Hiana, he
mahi i mahia e nga Apiha, o te Kawanatanga, me te
Kawanatanga o te Porowini o Ahuriri. E mea ana aia a
Te Hiana, e he ana kia mahi penei nga Apiha o te
Kawanatanga, no te mea e takahi ana ratou i te mana o te
ingoa tiaki o te iwi. a ko aua Pakeha i kiia hei tiaki i te
Maori, kei he i te hoko he a te iwi Pakeha, a i he ai ta
ratou mahi i a ratou ano, i hoko ano ratou i te whenua a
te Moori. A he tini noa atu nga whenua i riro o te
Maori, he mea hoko e nga kai-tiaki Toa, me nga kai-hoko
waipiro, a he mea utu aua Pakeha nei e nga Pakeha ma
ratou aua whenua. E mea ana te kupu a tetahi Mema, ki
ano i hoko whenua Rahui nga Apiha o te Kawanatanga,
A i mea a Te Omana, kahore a Te Makarini i hoko whenna
Rahui o te Maori. He tika ano tetahi wahi o taua kupu,
otiia, i kaiponuhia te tino o te kupu pono. Mei mea a Te
Omana, kahore a Te Makarini i hoko i nga whenua Rahui,
i Rahuitia e te Kooti, penei, e tika tana kupu. Otiia, i |
nga ra i hokona ai nga whenua nui mo te Kawanatanga,
na nga Maori ratou ko Kawana Kerei, i mea kia tapu
etahi whenna, kia kana e riro i te hoko, a he wahi aua
whenua no etahi o nga whenua i hokona ki te Kawana-
tanga. A ko ana whenua i kiia ra e te Maori ratou ko I
Kawana Kerei, hei whenua tapu nga whenua i hokona e
Te Makarini. A i enei ra e 9,000. he 10,000. ranei nga
eka o ana wahi kei a Te Makarini o aua whenua Rahui
ma te Maori. A ko nga take e kiia ai enei mahi hoko a
Te Makarini e he ana, he mea i hokona eia i nga ra ona e
Mema ana aia i te Kawanatanga, a e Hupiritene ana i
Ahuriri, a he tino Apiha ano mo te Kawanatanga i
Ahuriri. He tangata aia i aua ra, e kiia ai e te mahara a
te Maori, koia rawa te tangata hei tiaki i a ratou i nga iwi
Maori. E mea ana aia a Te Hiana, na ana mahi a Te
Manarini, i kiia ai te tupu o te Te Makarini, kua heke ki
te kore. E kiia ana ano hoki i te tau 1871, i maa a Te
Makarini, i hoko he a Tatana, me etahi atu i te whenua a
te Maori, a me mutu tana tu mahi. Otiia, na nga tikanga
o aua mea. i kiia ai. ko aua Pakeha ra ano nga kai-mahi.
a e puta be koha o ana mahi kia Te Makarini. A ko to
tino mea e mihia e te whakaaro, ko to kitenga o te Pare-
mata nei, i te po inanahi, e arahina ana a Tatana e Te
Makarini, ki te nohoanga i muri i te nohoanga a te
Tumuaki o te Paremata nei noho ai. A koia na te ahua
o te mahi e mahia ana e te Tari Maori, a koia aia a Te
Hiana i mea ai. Mehemea e rapurapua ana aua tini mea i
nei e to Pakeha whakaaro marama, penei, e kitea te tika !
kia puta he utu ma nga iwi Maori, mo aua mahi he nei. i
mahia ki aua iwi Maori. E hara i te mea na te Paremata I
nei te he, no te mea hoki, ko nga mahi a te Paremata nei |
he mea ako nga take e le Kawanatanga, i mahi ai te
Paremata. I era tau, kahore rawa nei he wahi e puta ai
he kupu ma nga Mema o te Paremata nei mo nga mahi
Maori, i a Te Makarini te whakararuraru. E hara i te i
mea i whaaki a Te Makarini i nga take o tana mahara
i mahi ai, he tohutohu kau tana, ki te Kawanatanga,
a rongo noa te Kawanatanga ki tana i ako ai. A
i nga, ra e korero ai te Paremata nei, e nui ana ano
nga Mema o te Paremata e mahi korero ana, ano ka tae ki
te wa e Pooti ai te Paremata. Ka haere mai nga Mema, i
ngaro noa atu ki te kaewa haere, a pooti ana aua Mema
ki te taha kia Te Makarini, pooti kuare ai aua Meina,
kihai nei ratou i Tonga ki nga take e nga korero i Pooti
kopare ai ratou. E ahua whakahe ana ana whakaaro a
Te Hiana ki ana koriro e korero nei. Otiia, na nga tangata
mea, he nui te pai me te tika o nga maki, i mahia e Te
Tari Maori, a kahore he taihoa i nga wa e mahia
ai he ora, he pai ma te iwi Maori, na reira aia a Te Hiana
i korero ai i aua tini mea e korero nei aia, a e pona ana
aana kupa, no te mea kei te pukapuka o te Paremata nei
aua tini mea. He tika ano pea, he mea pai taua Tari
Maori rao nga Maori o era tau, otiia kua kore he pai o ona
mahi o taua Tari i enei ra mo te Maori. He mea pea no
te mea, kahore he mohio o te Maori ki te neo Pakeha.
Koia taua Tari i kiia ai i era tau, hei arai taua Tari i
nga he o te Pakeha kei uta ki te Maori. Otiia e kiia ana
e te whakaaro, he mea pai ano mei waiho te Maori kia
mahi tahi i te Pakeha. Kia kite ai te Maori i nga tini
mea o te hoko o te nui mohio o nga iwi ke, a kaua e
tiakina e Te Tari Maori. E ki. he hoa pai, he tiaki taua
Tari mo nga iwi Maori, na ra te tiaki, ko te raru rawa ata
o te Maori, ko taua ahua tiaki a taua Tari. E kore aia a
Te Hiana e mea, kia tino tohea tana kupu e ki nei kia
£10,000 moni e kaiponuhea e Te Paremata mo taua Tari.
A e mea ana aia kia £5.000 ano pea. kaua e houtu mo
taua Tari i te tau nei, a me whakahokihoki iho nga utu
tau ki taua Tari, ia tau ia tau a kia tae ki te iti o nga
moni e pau i te tau hei utu mo nga mahi o taua Tari. A
ko nga moni e kiia nei kia kaua e hoatu mo taua Tari
Maori, me hoatu hei mahi kia kaha ai nga Kura ako i nga
tamariki Maori. He mea hoki, ma aua Kura Maori e tino
rite ai te Maori ki ro Pakeha, a ma reira e mohio ai te
Maori ki nga tini tikanga o nga Ture, a ka mahi marama
ai te Maori i nga mea katea a te Pakeha e rite pu ai te
Maori ki te Pake! a He mohia nona, e enei tau, kua nui
haere te mohio o te Maori ki te reo Pakeha, a e kore e roa,
ka tino mohio te iwi Maori ki te reo Pakeha. A i aia ia
Te Hiana e mahi nei i tenei tunga o te Paremata i tae
mai ai te tahi pukapuka a tetahi Maori, he pukapuka
whakahou taua pukapuka mo etahi o nga upoko korero o
te Ture mo nga Kura Maori. A he mea tuhituhi taua
pukapuka e tana Maori ki te reo Paaeha. a ahakoa kihai i
tino hangai ki to te Pakeha tuhituhi i te reo Pakeha, he tino
pai ano ia te reo Pakeha o taua pukapuka. A koia nei to
tahi take e kite ai he iwi te Maori e kake haere ana ki te
mohio. A e mea ana aia a Te Hiana, ki te mea ka paingia
te Maori e te Pakeha, mo te mea he whenua a te Maori,
ano ka pau aua whenua i te Pakeha, a ka whakarerea te
Maori e te Pakeha, e kore rawa te Maori e tae ki nga
painga, ki nga mohiotanga, e ki nei te Pakeha, kia ako te
Maori i aua mohio ma ratou. E mea ana aia a
Te Hiana, me waiho to Maori, kia mahi i nga mahi,
a kia pera, te rapurapu a te Maori i nga tikanga
katoa o nga mea katoa, mo te Pakeha e mahi nei, kia
matau ai te iwi Maori, ki nga mahi o mahi ai ratou mo
nga Ture, me tikanga katoa o te iwi Pakeha e mahi nei.
Otiia, e- mea aua aia a Te Hiana, ma te- iwi Pakeha pu ano
e ako te iwi Maori ki nga mea katoa o nga Ture, kia rite
tahi ai taua iwi ki nga tikanga, me nga mana o nga moa
katoa e mahia ana e te iwi Pakeha. A kia mahi tahi ano
hoki te iwi Maori i nga mahi nui o te Kawanatanga.
Kanui te tika, me te pai o to mahi o nga Mema Maori o te
Paremata nei. He nui hoki no te mohio o aua Meina
Maori, a na aua Mema Maori i mohio ai te Paremata nei
ki te whakahaere i nga mea mo to iwi Maori, i koro ai e
tupu he kino ki ngu iwi Maori. A he mea hoki, e
kororo ana aua Mema Maori i nga kupu a te iwi Maori ki
te Paremata nei. i ahua pai ai nga iwi o Waikato. Me
korero eia e Te Hiana tetahi mea i mahia i a Te Makarini,
i tae hou kia kite i a Tawhiao. E ki ana ai» a To Hiana,
kua takea rawatia aua haere a Te Makarini ia tan. ia tau,
hei whai korero ma Te Makarini ki te Paremata nei. A
i nga ra ka tata to tu o te Paremata, haere ana a To
Makarini, ia tau. ia tau, ki Waikato, haere ake ano aia rae
ana kai tuhituhi, me ana Komihana, ano ka oti nga kupu

Tawhiao kia kite i a Te Makarini.'' He tini noa atu nga

Makarini te pai, e pai ai a Tawhiao. A no te haerenga
mutunga o Te Makarini kia kite i a Tawhiao, tukua mai
ana e Tawhiao te karere ui i a Te Makarini, he aha te
take i kitea ai a Te Makarini ki reira. A no muri iho,
kawea mai ana e taua karere a Tawhiao te poaka ma Te
Makarini. E mea ana aia a Te Hiana. e he ana te haere
a Te Makarini ki Waikato, no te mea, kei reira te tangata |

aia a Te Makarini ki reira, koia aia i mea ai, me puta he

not settle, he went to his solicitor and asked his assis-
tance. Were the Natives to be denied the same right ?
Were they not rather doubly entitled to such assistance,
because Europeans, having some knowledge of the law,
might be supposed to know how to manage their affairs,
but these ignorant and foolish people could not be sup-
posed to be able to do so ? Were those who took up their
cases to be told that they were fomenting disturbances ?
He might say now that, if it had not been for the assur-
rances he held out to these people of the lawful settle-
ment of their cases, the European population of Hawke's
Bay would not have been able to hold that province.
When this case was settled, be was in Wellington attend-
ing the session, and honorable members would recollect
that he left for ten or twelve days on private business.
He then went to Hawke's Bay, and on arrival there he
was waited on by Tareha, a man of considerable standing1
there, and a Native Assessor in the district, who asked
him what was the result of the trial by the Supreme
Court of the case of Omarunui. He told Tareha that the
decision of the Court was against the Natives, and that
the Court held that they were not entitled to retain pos-
session of the land. Tareha then asked him what he
would advise him to do. His reply was, " You must abide
by the decision, and put up with the consequences."
Tareha then said, " I will not. We have tried European
law ; bat we are satisfied that we are right. I will go on
to that land and will hold possession of it :'' and he re-
mained on it until a few days ago. In mentioning
Tareha's name, he was mentioning: the name of a Native
who was on the Government side, and he might also
mention Renata, who was likewise in favor of the Govern-
ment. These were the people who were holding posses-
sion of the land, and if it had not been for these people
he was sure the Government would have tried to put them
off some time ago. He would just mention another case
that occurred in connection with these Native lauds in
Hawke's Bay. He wanted to show that after all every-
thing was not as pleasant and cheerful as it looked, and
that, while a great deal of noise was made about what a
man had done for the country, they should not lose sight
of what he had done for himself. There was a block of
land called Mangateretere, about eight miles outside of
Napier. When he brought this Hawke's Bay business be-
fore the House last year he was told by the honorable i
member for Clive that he (Mr. Sheehan) had never won a
case in connection with these transactions, and never
would win one. The echo of those words was hardly out
of the building when he pot a judgment of a most impor-
tant character, which unhinged the titles of four-fifths of
- the Europeans in Hawke's Bay. In the case of this block
of land the Court gave to all the Natives concerned, ex-
cept three, their original interest in the land, and said
that the grant and conveyance they had made were con-
trary to law. There were three instances in which it was
held that the conveyance was good. Tho first of those
was Te Waka Kawatini who became possessed of the land
with other grantees, and at one time held 40.000 acres of
the host land in Hawke's Bay. He would like to show
the Committee a page from the registry of title of this
Mangateretere Block. It was simply black with the differ-
ent kinds of instruments that this old Native had signed.
The first was a deed to create a rent-charge, and he would
defy any one, whether Native or European, to make any
person understand what the rent-charge was. This man
was one of the oldest Natives in the province ; a real
tupuna—old and broken down, who could no more under-
stand the meaning of this rent-charge than the man in ;
the moon. It was not to be wondered at that he still sat
by the fire of bis whare, and talked of owning the pro-
perty, for he did not know what he had done with it. In
the case of Tareha, the Court of Appeal held that his share
had gone. There were nine grantees in the block, and
some of the Europeans in Hawke's Bay, notably the store- '
keeper Sutton, offered to pay £500 a share for this land ;
but Sir Donald McLean bought for £300 the share of
Tareha and another person, when, according to the mar-
ket price, he should have given at least £1,000. He would
state another circumstance of a most singular character in
connection with this case. This took place in 1869, a
month or two before the Act passed to prevent all sales
by single grantees. Grants used to be issued to a large
number of people, and until 1S69 any single grantee could
sell his own share ; but by the Act passed in that year it
was necessary that a majority of the grantees should con-
sent to the sale. Sir Donald McLean's agreement for the
sale to him of Tareha's share in the Mangateretere Block
went on the registry on the 1st September, and the Act
came into force on the 3rd September. These were only
two of a very large number of cases. It was no pleasure
to him to refer to these cases. If he had bis choice, he
would have his paths paths of pleasentness and his ways
ways of peace ; but when honorable members were called
upon to subscribe to the most fulsome praise of a person
who had done no more than anybody else for the country,
he felt called upon to state facts which would cause the
couleur de rose with which that person's actions were sur-
rounded to disappear. He would wait to hear the reply
that might be made to him, and then he would be pre-
pared to debate the matter further, and show forth even
grosser cases than those he had put before the Committee.
He could show that in nearly every case the persons con-
cerned were persons holding confidential positions either
under the Provincial or the General Government, residing
iu Hawke's Bay. He contended that it was essentially a
breach of trust that public officers should use their posi-
tions and take advantage of them to engage in transac-
tions of this kind. Those persons were appointed to pro-
tect the Maoris, and to stand between them and the ordi-
nary European purchasers ; but they could not do so, be-
cause in many instances they were buying for themselves.
In many instances the titles had been obtained by the
present European holders through storekeepers and pub-
licans who went up amongst the Natives and received
large bonuses for carrying out the purchases. Some re-
marks were made on the previous evsning' as to whether
reserves had been purchased by Government officers, and
it was stated by the honorable member for Clive that Sir
I Donald McLean had not purchased any Native reserves.
There was something of the about that
! statement. If the honorable member had said that Sir
Donald McLean had not purchased an inch of legally
constituted Native reserves, it would have been correct ;
but when the province was acquired from the Natives,
the Natives, partly of their own motion and partly by the
action of Sir George Grey, made reserves out of the blocks
of land they sold, and Sir Donald McLean had bought and
was iu occupation of a very large area of these reserves at
the present time—some 9,000 or 10.000 acres. To under-
stand the full effect of these things, it must be borne in
mind that all this was happening while Sir Donald Mc-
Lean was a member of the Government, was Superinten-
dent of Hawke's Bay, and was General Government
Agent. Ue was especially occupying that position which
entitled the Native population of the province to look up
to him to protect and defend them. He contended that
i Sir Donald McLean deliberately deprived himself of that
power and position. They found that in 1871 Sir Donald
McLean himself admitted that Sutton and others were
i people who had acquired Native titles in a most improper
manner, and that such practices should nut be allowed ;
but Sir Donald McLean was compelled to allow those peo-
ple to do his business for him, and to profit by their
speculation. And the crowning act of all this was wit-
nessed a few nights ago, when they saw the Native
Minister leading Mr. Sutton into a scat behind the
'. Speaker's chair. These were examples of the work done
by the Native Department : and he submitted, with all

confidence, that if those questions were taken up in a spirit
of fairness by any impartial persons—if they were to look
at the legislation of the House and the administration of
the Government in reference to Native matters, and see
the injustice they had worked—it would be impossible to
deny that\_ the Native people had a claim for
compensation which no just tribunal could pos-
sibly ignore or put aside. It was not so much the
Assembly that was to blame, because the Assembly was
guided in its legislation by the representations of the Go-
vernment. Four or five years ago, it was impossible to
get in a word edgeways in Native matters against the
opinion of the Native Minister. He seldom condescended
to argument, and it was only necessary for him to indicate
into what lobby the Government would go. While a i
debate was going on there might be thirty members in
the House listening to the arguments. Two-thirds of that
number would vote with the party endeavoring to get an
alteration of the law ; but when the division-bell rang,
from a certain establishment not far off would pour in a
pleasant crowd who would vote with the Native Minister,
although they scarcely knew what was the question under
discussion. He was uu willing to make attacks of this
kind ; but when he heard statements that the Native De-
partment had done so exceedingly well—that there was
no waste, no injustice, no delay, no sacrifice of the interests
of the Native people—he felt bound to mention these
things, which he maintained were facts, and could be
proved from the Blue Books. It might be that this par-
ticular department had been necessary for the Native
people—it might be that, the Natives not knowing our
laws or language, it was necessary to keep up some sort of
barrier between them and the English people ; but it was
a moot question now whether it would not be better if the
Natives had been left free to the operations of the English
colonists rather than that they should be subjected to the
surveillance of such a department as the Native Depart-
ment. Talk about the Native Department being the friend
of the Natives ! He could only exclaim. " Save me from
such friends." He did not intend to press his amendment,
for striking off £10,000 from this vote. Possibly it was
well not to go too far ia one year. A reduction of £5.000
would perhaps be as much as they could make with safety,
and without putting too great a strain on Ministers during
the recess But he did not think they should stop there :
he thought they should go on gradually each year reducing
the expenditure.
civilization, and to make them as nearly as possible equal
to themselves in performing the functions of citizens,
and taking part in the government of the country. An
experiment which had been made in that House had
proved highly satisfactory. No one could deny that the
Native members had been of considerable use in the
House, and he believed their presence had been very
useful in maintaining peace between the Natives and
Europeans. The fact of their being here, and being able
to urge their claims, had a good effect even in the Native
King country. He would just mention one circumstance
which had occurred, he believed, not very long ago, when
the Native Minister had paid his last visit there. He
might remark, by the way, that those visits to the King
country had become a settled institution. Just before
the session there was an irruption of the Native De-
partment in the Waikato. The Native Minister went
there surrounded by Native orderlies and Commissioners,
and, after performing the necessary ceremonies, an
audience was granted the Minister by the King, whom
they saw a long way off. Reporters were present to write
high-flown accounts of what took place, which were duly
published, and the usual telegrams were sent throughout
the colony, " The pacification of the King country is about
to take place. Tawhiao has consented to see McLean.''
They had heard that on several occasions ; but he always
appeared gia tod see McLean going away again. On the
last trip, the King sent a deputation to the Native Min-
ister to ascertain what brought him into the King coun-
try ; and that deputation afterwards presented him with
a pig . He contended that the Native Minister should
not have gone to the King country and given the sanction
of his presence to a district which a few days before was
made a sanctuary for a murderer of the lowest possible
type. But having gone there, it was necessary to give a
color to his visit : and one of his officers informed the
deputation that the " object of Sir Donald McLean was
to demand the " unclean thing,'' meaning the murderer.
When the deputation returned, the Natives discussed the
question, what was the unclean thing ? Finally, an old
gentleman, who. although he had been i Hau-hau for
several years, still remembered his Bible-reading, said
that the unclean thing was a pig. Accordingly this his-
torical pig was sent to the Native Minister. He thought
it would be a very good thing indeed when they would
be able to dispense with the Native department altogether.
There were some who said they would like to dispense
with It altogether at present : but he was inclined to
listen to more moderate counsels, and to say that it might
be dispensed with gradually. Where the Natives were
left to their own devices, they generally managed to get
along very well : but their evil habits, their misfortunes,
and their trials seemed to be doubled and intensified in
proportion to the amount of Government care and pro-
tection they had received.

NOTICE.
[TO THE EDITOR OF THE WANANGA]
Print the following few words in the WANANGA :—
THlS is to give notice to all Europeans and Maoris residing
in the Wairarapa District, that if any person. European
or Maori, ig found digging a trench at the Mouth of the Wai-
rarapa River, at the time when the Mouth of that River has
been closed up, any person so acting will be summoned to the
Resident Magistrate's Court, for £100 damages. Any person,
European or Maori, who may see such act done by anyone to
the dam at the Wairararapa, on giving information which
will lead to the conviction of the offender, will be paid the
gum of £ 10.
Friends, the Europeans who say your land is flooded by the
dam being put up at the Mouth of the Wairarapa River, be it
known to you, that those lands which, are covered by the i
water, driven back by the erection of the dam, have not been
sold by the Maori to you. or to the Government. You are
mistaken when you claim those lands : they still belong to
the New Zealander. Let me teach you : From the end of Te i
Awapuni, and inland, that land was truly sold by the Maori |
to the Government, but from the water line, and out into the |
lake, all such belong to the Maori, the land and the water.
And you have done wrong in buying it from, the Government,
that is, if you have bought these lands from the Government.
Enough from me
