HE mea pai kia korero te iwi katoa o nga. motu nei
i nga kupu a Te Hiana i korero ai ki te hui i Pu-
tiki i Whanganui. A he mea atu tenei ki nga iwi
Maori, e ahua pohehe nei ki te tikanga mahi o te
Tari Maori i Nepia. E hara taua Tari Maori i
Nepia nei, i te Tari whakahe i te hoko tika, engari,
he rapu te mahi o taua Tari kia utua nga whenua i
riro he i te maminga a te Pakeha.
A e mea ana nga kai mahi o taua Tari Maori i
Nepia nei, ko nga mahi i ahua he ki ta te Ture i
kii ai, kia mahia aua mahi ki te Ture ano, kia puta
mai ai te utu tika ki te iwi i tahaetia nei a ratou
whenua e te iwi mahi he. E kore te Tari Maori i
Nepia nei e ako i te Maori, kia whakahe ratou i te
whenua riro tika i te hoko marama. A ko nga
whenua i tika te hoko, ahakoa ki ano i ata oti tika
nga pukapuka, ka mahia paitia era e te Tari i Nepia
kia tae ki te otinga pai ko te tangata tika, ko te
mahi he i mahia hetia ta te Tari i Nepia nei e tau-
toko ai.

SATURDAY, JULY 27, 1878.
WE would call the attention of our Maori readers
to the speech of the Honorable the Native Minister.
And we would also remind those Natives who may
be labouring under a false impression in regard to
the acts of what they call " the Native Office in
Napier," that that Native Office is not, as some
Europeans call it, an office to cause the Natives to
repudiate all sales of land, but the object and de-
termination of those who conduct the office in
Napier is to compel those who have acquired land
by fraudulent pretensions to make a fair and equit-
able compensation to those from whom any land
may have been acquired by false means.
The Napier office is one which is conducted
strictly on the principle, that where injustice has
been practised, the-law.must look into the.case, and
the law is to.say (and not the selfishness of men)
what are the legal rights of all. The Napier office
has acted, and ever will act, in justice to all. It
has not encouraged, neither will it ever encourage,
anyone to repudiate any engagement entered into
open-eyed, even though such engagement was to
his own hurt. But where there has been fraud,
where the European, skilfully advised, has en-

trapped the un-advised Maori into signing deeds he
knew neither the meaning or purport of, then does
the Napier office encourage resistance to that which
is against equity and justice, and has lent and
will lend all its strength to upset and set
aside the deeds, conveyances, leases, or other
engagements which could not stand for an
hour in any court of judicature in Eng-
land. At the same time, where deeds are in-
complete by accident rather than by intention, there
is no intention to embarrass the European or Native
who has acted in good faith. It will be soon recog-
nised that the European with deficient title who
has acted honestly has no better friend than the
Napier Native Office.
HE mea na matou, na te nui o nga korero a Te
Hui i Putiki i Whanganui, i kore ai he wahi mo te
whakapapa o nga Tupuna o te Pakeha e o ki tenei
putanga o TE WANANGA.
IN consequence of our having given in full (as re-
ported in the " New Zealander" newspaper) the
speeches made by the chiefs and the Native Minis-
ter at a meeting held at Whanganui, we have
thought it advisable not to give our usual chapter
of English History in this issue.
TE HUI A TE MINITA MAORI A TE
HIANA I PUTIKI, I WHANGANUI.
I haere a te Hiana te Minita Maori ki Whanganui, he
mea hoki i kiia e o reira Maori kia haere atu aia ki reira.
Ko Karaitiana Takamoana, ko Hone Pihama ma ana hoa.
A he tokomaha nga Maori i hui ki te whare korero i Pu-
tiki. Ahakoa he tokomaha nga Maori o Whanganui i
ngaro atu ki te kuinga o te awa o Whanganui, he tini ano
nga Maori i korero kia te Hiana. Ka hui te tangata, ka
tu ko Mete Kingi.
Ka mea, haere mai e te Minita Maori, he mea hoki kua
tae koe ki te nuku o nga Motu nei, a kua pai nga Maori ki a
korua tikanga ko Kawana Kerei. A kua tino whakaae
nga Maori ki aua tikanga. A e pai ana a Whanganui kia
kite ia te Hiana, a kia kite ano hoki ia Karaitiana Taka-
moana raua ka Hone Pihama.
Ka mea a Haimona Hiroti, haere mai e to Hiana ka pai
koe kia haere kia kite i te tini iwi o nga Motu nei, ka pai
kia haere mai ko.e ki konei, no te mea kahore kau o konei
he. He pai kau i enei ra, a ka pai kia korero tatou.
Ka mea a te Mawae : E he ana i a au nga tini mahi
hou a te Pakeha. He Maori ahau, a ko aku mea e pai ai
ko o mua mea. A kahore kau pea he pai o nga mea hou
nei ki te iwi Maori.
Katene : Haere mai e te Hiana, he Minita Maori koe no
te tai ki te marangai, a kahore kau he kitekite atu a o
konei tangata ia koe. A kua tae mai nei koe, kia roa iho
to noho kia roa ai te korero ma matou kia koe.
Hoani Mete: Ka pai kia kitea mai koe, kua tata hoki
nga ra o te Paremata. A ka mahia nei hoki nga. mahi
hou ki te awa o Whanganui. E mea ana aia, kia kaua he
mahi hou ki te awa o Whanganui, i te takutai ki Putiki.
He mea hoki na te waipuke i aami mai he rakau hei wahie
ma te Maori ki Putiki. A tetahi kupu ana, kia kaua e
whakaae noa te Kawanatanga ki te kupu tono ruuri a te
tangata kotahi, kia waiho ma te tokomaha te tono mo te i
ruuri ka whakaae ai te Kawanatanga, kahore ana mea atu
kia pa te Kawanatanga ki te mahi ruuri whenua, i te mea
Mete Kingi : Ko te whenua rahui i Patiki mai ano i te
Piriti e te Kongutu o te awa, a te awa i Kaitoke, a te
pou a te Mawae. E pai ana kia mahia te awa o Whan-
ganui kia hohonu. Otira kaua te waka haere ki te hii ka
e utu. A kia kohi noa te Maori i te wahie paketai o te
awa. E kiia ana, na te Kawanatanga te whenua i te
tukutai, otira e ki ana ratou te Maori, na ratou taua
whenua. E kii ana nga Maori o Whanganui, kia tu
tetahi Tari ma ratou, kia pera rae te Tari i Nepia, e kiia an»
hoki, e utu ana te Kawanatanga i taua Tari i Nepia. Kb
te utu mo te whenua e kiia nei, ko te " Whanganui
Poraka," he kotahi ano mano pauna moni, a e amuamu
tonu ana nga Maori ki taua utu. He nui hoki no te whenua
he iti no te moni. Kahore kau he mea a te Maori ki to
utu, otira ki te mea ka kitea nga eka o taua whenua, penei
ka mohiotia nga utu tika mo taua whenua e puta kia
ratou, mei hokona ki te utu rite. Ki te mea e kore e utua
aia, ka rapu tonu ana tamariki ki te utu mo aua eka kia
puta kia ratou.
Wihari Turoa : E mea ana tetahi o tatou i korero nei,
kia mutu te ruuri whenua, otira e mea ana aia, kahore
kau he whenua i toe, e ruuri ai te tangata. I te mea hoki,
e kaika ana te hoko whenua a te iwi. E hara i te Pakeha
hoko te he, na nga kai tuku whenua a te Maori te he. A
korero ana aia ki tana whenua i Waipakura,
Te Hiana (Minita Maori) : E pai ana koutou kia
karanga i au. E tika ana te kii mona, kihai nei i tae wawe
mai ki Whanganui, otira, kahore kau ona mangere. I te
wa ona i tu ai hei Minita Maori, aia i mea ai, kia kite aia
i nga wahi katoa o nga motu nei, a kia kite aia i nga iwi
katoa. Kia tu rawa ake te Paremata kua kite aia i ana
tini iwi. Na reira aia i mea ai, e hara i te he nona, aia
i roa nei, kihai aia i tae wawe mai ki Whanganui. E pai
ana kia tae mai aia ki Whanganui nei, hei mutunga mo
tana haere, i te mea e tata ana a Whanganui ki Poneke.
A tetahi, e kiia ana he iwi pai te iwi o Whanganui.
Mana e ata rapurapu a ratou kupu, a kia ahiahi aia ka
Korero ai ano kia ratou.

Tiriti o Waitangi
• No te 8 o te taima o te ahiahi ka tu ano te hui. Ka
mea ata a te Hiana, he patai ano a koutou, kia kotahi ai
aku utu atu i a koutou patai katoa.
• Haimona Hinoti: Me hoko noa iho te Maori i te paura,
ne penei me te Pakeha e hoko Ture kore nei.
Katene: Ae, a me tu he Tari Maori ki Whanganui, a
me whakaae te Minita Maori ki nga mahi i mahia e nga
Komiti Maori. A ma nga Maori mohio e whakawa nga
whenua Maori, a me tu ano he whare ma te Maori i te
Paremata, a me tu he Kawana Maori.
Te Hiana (Minita Maori) : Ka pai ano kia karanga
koutou i au, a e pai ana ano hoki kia haere mai ahau ki
Whanganui nei, kia rongo ahau ki a koutou korero, ka-
hore ana wehi ki te tini, a ki te nui o a ratou kupu patai
kia ia, kia whakina te pai me te kino ki a ia, he mea hoki
ko te ora kei te whaaki nui a te iwi i a te iwi mea i ma-
hara ai. A ki tana mohio ki te tikanga o a ratou kupu,
e ki ana ratou, he iwi turoro ratou, a kua tono ratou i te
tohunga rongoa ia ratou kia ora. A kaa tae mai nei hoki
aia, a kua whangaia ratou, e ia ki te rongoa. Otiia kia
mahara ratou, ko tetahi take o te rongoa pai, he ahua
anuanu no te rongoa ana kainga e te turoro, a ka mene-
mene te paparinga o te tangata kai i te rongoa pai. A
ka mea ata aia kia ratou, ata whakarongo pai mai ki a au,
a me ate tai marire koutou i te rongoa ka hoatu nei e au
kia koutou, he mea hoki, te take i hoatu ai taua rongoa
kia koutou, he mea naku, kia wawe ai to koutou mate
turoro te ora. E ui ana koutou ki te paura, kia hokona
noatia e koutou. E mea ana aia, e pai ana pea kia kiia
kia ahua nui ake te paura a ratou e hoko ai, i te mea, e
ahua naka ake ana te maha o te paura i etahi wahi e hoko
nei i enei Motu. Mana e rapurapu taua tikanga, a ka
whaaki ai e ia kia Mete Kingi. Tetahi kupu, he mea
kia tu he Kawana Maori mo nga Maori, kahore e
tino marama taua tono ki a ia. He nui noa ata
nga tau kua pahare nei, i huihui ai ratou i Waikato, a i
tu ai ia ratou he Kawana, a kiia ana taua Kawana hei
Kingi, a ko te otinga o tera ko Waitara, a ko te Pakeha i
patua, a he whawhai i roa te kawenga, a he whenua te
utu. E mea ana aia, kaati he Kawana mo te Maori. Ko
te Minita nao te taha Maori te Kawana mo nga Maori, a
kei aia te tikanga mo te pai mo te iwi Maori. A koia ko
te Hiana te Minita Maori,
Whanganui,
Kahungunu
Nui Tireni
E kore rawa e tika kia tonoa, ko ia hei whakawa i nga
he, no te mea he tangata aia no te Paremata, a ko te
Paremata te Tumuaki o ana mahi e mahi nei. Otiia ka
ki atu aia kia ratou, ki te mea ka tukua ake a koutou kupu
ki te Paremata, ka ata rapaa taua kupu e te Paremata.
Ko etahi o nga kupu i uia nei, he kapu iti etahi, he kupu
nui etahi. A ko nga kupu iti ana e utu wawe ai. A mo
te kupu a Hoani Miha e tono nei mo te whenua i tua
atu o Waitotara, e kiia nei pa tana whaea, me tuku taua
kupu kia Meiha Paraone, i te mea koia te apiha o taua
takiwa. E korero ana a te Mawae ki te £500 moni mo te
whenua i hokona, a e kiia nei ko " Te Whanganui
Poraka." Katahi nei ano aia ka rongo ki taua kupu mo
aua moni. A ki te mea he tika ta ratou kupu e ki nei,
kua hoatu aua moni kia Te Makarini, penei kei aia ano
aua moni, ara kei te Kawanatanga. Me haere mai a Te
Mawae raua ko Mete Kingi kia Te Hiana, kia tuhituhia
a raua kupu mo aua moni, kia mahia ai te tikanga mo
ana moni e Te Hiana ana tae aia ki Poneke. A ko te
kupu e kiia nei, ka mahi te Hapa Pooti ki te awa o
Whanganui, a ma reira e raru ai te whenua rahui i Putiki.
No tera tau na tera Paremata i mea, kia nama moni te
Hapa Pooti hei ruahi i te awa o Whanganui kia hohonu, a
e hara i te mea i mahia mo Whanganui anake taua tu
mahi he tini noa atu nga awa i peratia he kupu mo aua
awa, a e tora pea tekau nga awa i kiia kia peratia. A
ki tana mohio ki ta te Hiana, hei pai mo te awa o Whan-
ganui taua mahi e kore e kino te awa aua mahia kia
hohonu: Ma reira hoki ka tini ai he kaipuke rere mai ki
taua wahi, a e nui ai te mahi hokokoko e puta nui ai he
taonga ma te iwi. Kua kite ratou i te mahi a te rerewe, e
nui haere nei i te rerewe te utu mo to whenua, a ka pera
ano hoki te utu o te whenua, i nga awa e mahia ana kia
hohonu. E ki ana koutou, e rua a koutou mea e whakahe
ai, a ko te tuatahi, ko te utu mo te poti rere atu, a mo te
poti rero mai i nga awa. E mea ana aia a Te Hiana,
kahore he poti a nga Maori o Whanganui. He waka ano
ia a koutou, a e kore era e utu. Kahore he mea a te
Pakeha kia utu te waka, a ki te tono te Pakeha kia utu te
waka, mana ma te Hiana e utu te utu mo te waka.
Tetahi take ko te wahie paketai e kohikohia nei i te
aaminga mai a te waipuke. E kore tera e ahaaha, i te
mea ka kohikohi ano te Maori i aua wahie. Ahakoa naahi
te Hapa Pooti, ka waipuke ano te waipuke o te awa i
Whanganui, a ka kohi ano te Maori i nga wahie e tere
mai ana i aua waipuke. He kupa nui te kupu i kiia nei
mo nga tauranga hii ika. Ka korero aia a Te Hiana i
nga tikanga o aua tauranga ika, ki ta te Tiriti o Wai-
tangi i mea ai. Ko ite take e pa ai te Pakeha-ki ona
whenua, e pa ana ki nga whenua o uta anake, a e kore te

wahi e ngaromia ana e te tai e kiia e te Pakeha noa iho
nana tera whenua. A e kii ana te tahi kupu o te Tiriti o
Waitangi, e kore e tika taua kupu, ki etahi wahi o a te
Maori whenua. He mea hoki ko te mana Kingi o te
whenua, i tukua e nga iwi Maori kia te Kuini, a i wha-
kaae a te Kuini, mana e tiaki nga whenua a te Maori, me
o ratou tauranga ika. A koia aia i mea ai, ki te mea ka
he aua mea i kiia nei e te Kuini, ma te Maori era, he mea
pei kia muia aua mea a ka mahi hoki a Te Hiana, hei
tautoko i ta te Maori mea, kia puta tika nga mea ki te
Maori, i whakaaetia ma te Maori aua mea. A ki te mea
ka timataria e te Hapa Pooti nga mahi ki te awa i
Whanganui, a ki te mea ka he nga mea i kiia e te Kuini,
ma te Maori era, penei, ka korero aia a Te Hiana ki te
Hapa Pooti. Kahore he mea a te Hapa Pooti kia mahi he
aua Pakeha ki nga Maori. A e ki mai ana etahi o nga
tangata i korero nei, a tokotoru ratou. Kia whakaatu a
Te Hiana, kia whakamutua te mahi hoko whenua, te
mahi ruuri whenua, me te mahi mokete whenua. A
kotahi tangata i mea, kahore roe hoko noa iho te tangata
i ana whenua, ki ana Pakeha i pai ai. A e ui
ana a te Hiana ko te kupu tika, kei tehea. Ko te
kupu tika ranei, kei te mea e hoko ana, kei te ha-
nga whakahe ranei i te hoko ?. He kupu take kore te
kupu e kiia nei kia mutu te mokete, i te mea e ki ana te
Ture o te tau 1873, kia mutu pu te mokete. A ki te mea
kua mahi mokete te Maori i muri iho o te tau 1873, he
mahi take kore, kahore he tikanga o taua mokete. A ko
te kupu mo te noko whenua kia mutu. He ui mai koia
fa koutou kia mutu te marena a te tangata ki te wahine, a
kia kiia he Ture kia mutu ai te whanau mai o te tamarika
He mea hoki nana na te Hiana, e kore e mutu i a ia te
marena, whai hoki e kore ano e mutu te mahi hoko whe-
nua. He tohe hoki no te Maori ki te hoko i ana whenua,
a ko tana i kite ai, i mohio ai, he iwi tohe te maori ki te
hoko i ana whenua. A ko te kupu mo nga mahi ruuri
whenua, ko nga whenua katoa i pa ai a Whanganui e |
mahia, ara, aua whenua ki te mahi ruuri i enei ra. A e ki
mai ana etahi o koutou, he mea pai kia hoko koutou i a
koutou, ki a koutou Pakeha e pai ai. A ki te mea ka
penatia te mahi, e kore e roa, ka pau katoa a koutou
whenua, e kore e toe te eka kotahi, a ma reira koutou ka
kiia he iwi rawakore, a ka mahi noa iho koutou i te mahi,
hei rapu i te mahi e ora ai koutou. Ko te tino tikanga i
pai, me hoko te hoko, otiia me Ture rawa ano te hoko kia
tika ai. E mohio ana ia ki te kupu, kia kaua e hoko, no i
te mea he nui noa atu nga hoko he, a he nui noa atu nga
hoko whenua i raru ai te Maori, he mea hoki, ko nga Ture
in ga ra o aua hoko, he Ture he. E kore e mutu i a ia,
ara kahore he kaha ona ki te whakamutu i te hoko whe-
nua, otiia ka mahia he Ture kia tika ai te mahi hoko whe-
nua, A te mahi tuatahi, me mahi he Ture kia tu ai he
Kooti whakawa i nga whenua Maori. He mea hoki, na
te taha Pakeha anake i whakawa nga whenua Maori i nga
tau kua pahure nei. A i mea ano aia a te Hiana, ko tana
kupu i mohio ai ma te Maori ano e whakawa ana whenua,
a kia mutu te rapurapu whakawa a nga Maori, ka haere
atu ai te Pakeha Tiati ki te whakaatu i nga mahi e tatu
tika ai nga tikanga o te whenua ki nga Maori no ratou
te whenua. A mo te mahi ruuri, e mea ana aia, e kore e
pai ma te hunga tokorua, tokotoru ranei e ki te ruuri.
hoko, no te mea ka tono ratou kia wehea a ratou hea, a ka
hokona e ratou, koia aia a Te Hiana i mea ai, e kore e
tika te Ture, mehemea, kahore he kupu a taua Ture, hei
whakaae kia hoko te tangata i tana whenua. He tono
take kore to tono e tonoa nei, ki aia, kia whakaae atua
Te Hiana, kia whakamutua eia e Te Hiana te hoko whe-
nua. Otira, he mea pai ano kia mahia he kupu e tika ai
nga hoko whenua. Mehemea e penei pu ana te mohio &
te Maori me te mohio a te Pakeha, ka mea atu aia ki nga
Maori, na koutou ano a koutou mohio, a ma koutou ano te
whakaaro ki a koutou taonga. Tena ko tenei, kahore ano
te Maori i penei noa te mohio me te Pakeha, ki te tikanga
o nga Ture, a he reo ke te reo a te Maori, a na nga kai-
whakamaori i mahi nga mahi korero o te hoko. Koia aia
a Te Hiana i mea ai, me mahi he tikanga kia tika ai te
mahi boko whenua a te Maori. A kia mohio pu ai te Ma-
ori, i te wa e tuhituhia ai o ratou ingoa ki nga pakapaka.
a he pukapuka tino hoko rawa atu taua tuhituhi ingoa, i
nga whenua rawa atu ma te Pakeha ranei, ma te Kawana-
tanga ranei, a kia pupuri ano hoki te Maori i etahi whenua
hei nohoanga mo ratou. A ma reira e oti pai ai te mahi e
mahia ana ki te hoko whenua ki te Kawanatanga, a ma te
tokomaha o te Maori te kupu ki te Ruuri ranei, ki te boko
ranei i nga whenua. He kupu ana kupu e korero nei mo
te Ture hou ka mahia e te Paremata mea-ake nei tu, e hara
ana kupu i te kupu mo nga Ture o enei ra. A tetahi kupa
a koutou e tono nei, kia whakamutua e ahau e Te Hiana,
nga mahi a nga kai Hoko whenua. A e ki ana koutou, he
penei aua kai hoko whenua me te manu Pakeha e kiia nei
he Peihana, a e ki ana koutou me pupuhi aua kai hoko,
he Peihana e puhia ana. A e tono ana koutou kia tango-
hia e ahau nga moni a aua kai hoko, kia mutu ai te mahi
he a ana kai hoko, ki te mea ka tangohia e ahau, nga moni
a aua kai hoko; penei, e mahi he ana ahau ki ta te Tare i
kii ai, a ka toia ahau ki te whare herehere. E mahi he
ana ano pea aua kai hoko, otira e kore e tika kia puhia a
Peihanatia ratou, ki te mea ka puhia te mapu Peihana,
hei kai tera, ki te mea Ka puhia te kai hoko whenna, penei
ka uiuia taua mahi e nga Pirihimana, a tera pea e kiia
kia taronatia tetahi tangata hei utu mo taua he. E rite-
rite ana te Pakeha ki a ia tangata ake ano. A he tikanga
ano te tikanga i kiia ai, ma aia tangata, ma aia tangata
ake ano te whakaaro o ana moni o mahia ai ranei, e
maumaua ai, ranei ana moni. He tika ano pea, e mahi
he ana etahi tangata i a ratou moni, no te mea, he ta-
ngata kino kei te iwi Pakeha, a he tangata kino ano hoki
kei te iwi Maori. A ahakoa, he ara watea noa atu te ara
e tae ai te Maori ki te tari o te kai boko whenua, ahakoa
he ara whanui taua ara, e kore te Maori e haere i taua
ara, ma to Paparakauhe atu te ara e tae ai te Maori ki te
tari o te kai hoko whenua. A he nui noa atu nga be, he
nui noa atu nga raru, he nui noa atu nga mate e tupu ake
ana i te kai waipiro. E mea ana aia a Te Hiana, ka mahia
eia tetahi Ture, a ko te tikanga o taua Ture me penei, ki
te mea ka ki a .Mete Kingi ranei, tetahi atu rangatira
Maori ranei, kia kaua te waipiro e kawea ki tona kainga,
penei ma taua Ture a Te Hiana, e kore ai e tae te waipiro
ki nga kainga e kino ana ki te waipiro.

tetahi Komiti, a he mea hoki he Ture ke ta tetahi ta
tetahi, ka kuare nga tangata o tenei ki nga Ture o tera, a
na tana mohio kore aia i he ai ki nga Ture o te Takiwa,
ke, a ka he ana Ture i aia, ma reira e tupu ai te he kino.
A ka mea atu nei aia a Te Hiana kia ratou, he mea hoki,
kua nui noa atu ana mahi ma te iwi Maori, ko te ora mo
te iwi Maori, me iwi kotahi te Maori ki te Pakeha. A me
ako te Maori i aia kia rite ai aia ki te Pakeha. A ki te
mea ka whakaaetia nga Komiti e kiia nei, ma reira te iwi
Maori e raru ai. He iwi kotahi te Pakeha, a tenei t3 wha-
katauki pepeha a te Pakeha, " wehewehea, a ma reira e
ruhi ai," a te tikanga o taua pepeha, e penei ana, wehe
wehea te iwi o to hoa riri kia tini nga puninga, ma reira
e mato ai i a koe. A tenei ano hoki tenei korero purakau
a te Pakeha, a he kupu pepeha whakatauki ano tona, ka
tata taua kaumatua ki te mate, ka ki atu aia ki tana wha-
nau, i muri i au, me noho ropine tonu koutou, kaua e
wehewehea ta koutou mahi me ta koutou noho, kei mate
koutou. A ka ki atu taua koroheke ki tana taua Ariki,
tikina atu he rakau wita, ara rakau nonohi, maua mai ki
au, ka tae mai aua rakau ki taua kaumatua, ka mahia
eia aua rakau hei paiere, a herea aria, aua rakau, a ka mea
atu aia ki ana tamariki, tena whatia te pupu rakau na ka

THE NATIVE MINISTER AT PUTIKI.
IMPORTANT MEETING.
The Hon. J. Sheehan arrived in Wanganui on Tuesday,
and, at the special request of Mete Kingi, visited Putiki
on Wednesday. He was accompanied by Mr. Grace
Private Secretary), Karaitiana Takamoana, M.H.R.,
Major Brown, Civil Commissioner, and Honi Pihama. The
large meeting-house at Putiki had been specially prepared
for a visit, and a fair number of Natives assembled to hear
the words of the Minister. Kemp, Paipai, and a number
of other Natives of note being absent up the river, the
attendance was not so good as it would have been, but of
those that were there no lack of speakers were found.
The visitors accompanying the Ministerial party, includ-
ing Mr. Bryce, M.H.R., Mr. B. W. Woon, and others
having been seated, Meto Kingi uttered an address of
welcome. He said Mr. Sheehan had visited all parts of
the Colony and the Natives everywhere had accepted his
policy ; they were satisfied \\vith the intentions of the
Government. The Wanganuis were glad to welcome Mr.
Sheehan, and were glad also to see Karaitiana and Honi
Pihama.
Haimoana repeated the welcome, and congratulated
Sheehan on his successful tour round the Colony. They
were the more pleased to see him as there was no trouble
here ; all was peace, and the talk would be of peace.
Mawhai (a very old Native, brother of the late Hori
Kingi) spoke against improvements. He was a Maori of
the old school, and did not want to see public works, as
he did not see how the Maori would be benefitted.
Katene (from Kaiwhiki) saluted Mr. Sheehan. He (Mr.
Sheehan) was the Native Minister for the Bast Coast, but
in Wanganui they did not know much about him. They
had not seen much of him, but now he had arrived he
(Katene) hoped the stay would extend over a day or two,
as he had something of importance to say.
Hoani Mete (son of Mete Kingi) was glad to see the
Minister, especially as it was near Parliament. Work was
going to be carried out in the river. He hoped nothing
would be done to the river frontage so far as it affected
Putiki. The Natives were dependent on the river for
firewood, no bush being near. His second word was, do
not let the Government agree to a survey on the applica-
tion of one or two, but wait for the majority to express a
wish for it. He did not want Government to interfere
with any survey that he paid for himself on land of his
own. He also wanted a number of the old land purchases
to be looked into, to see if they were correct. If not, to
have them rectified.
Utiku welcomed the representative of the new Govern-
ment. If he was prepared to do away with the bad laws
of the old Government he was welcome. He would say,
no sales of land, no leases, mortgages, or surveys. He
had seen notices of land offices established in the Colony
to look into old land purchases. He thought it a good
thing if such an office was established in Wanganui. If
it was established soon, all would be well, but if not there
would be trouble, as he was a bad man when roused.
Katene again rose and supported Utiku, saying he was
opposed to all sales or surveys.
Mete Kingi said the Putiki Native reserve extended
from the bridge along the centre of the river down to its
mouth ; thence along the beach to the Kaitoke stream, up
the stream to Mawhai's pole, along No. 2 line to the
bridge. The deepening of the river was a good work—
let it be done ; but they did not want tolls to be levied on.
the canoes when they went out to fish. They also wanted
the right to collect firewood from the river. They had
been told that the Government claimed the land from the
Land guard Bluff to the sea, but they had always supposed
that it belonged to the Natives, and still thought so.
They were anxious to obtain an office, the same as they
had in Napier, as they had been told the Napier office was

-supported by the Government. The whole of the Wanga-
nui block had been sold for £1000, and ever since they
had been grumbling at the price. Too much land was
•sold for the money. They did not make any claim, but
if the number of acres in the block was reckoned up. they
could then see what they ought to have received. If this
compensation was not granted in his day, his children
•would continue to agitate.
Wihari Turoa said the former speakers had advocated
the stoppage of surveys, but he thought there was no
land here left to operate on. All the Natives were selling
as fast as they could. The fault was not in the Euro-
peans buying, but in the Natives for selling. The speaker
•then referred to a personal matter, respecting a claim to a
share in Waipakura Reserve.
Hon. J. Sheehan
Wanganui,
Wellington
Karaitiana
Mete Kingi
M'Lean
They had signed the treaty of Waitangi and
took the blankets. (Mete Kingi—Yes, we had the
blankets.) He had not signed the treaty. He had no
Interest in the treaty, or in the Queen's representative, or
in the missionaries. He was one of the old stock. After
getting these riches (immigrants) some of their party
had turned against the riches they had invited : they set
up a king, and then went and killed Europeans at Wai-
tara. He had nothing to do with that. After they had
failed they struck a new line, and set up a new religion,
and sought the aid of higher power to destroy the Euro-
peans they had themselves invited to the country. He
thought such action was wrong, and he had gone to the
Queen's side. He had been standing in his place in Par-
liament, working for the Maoris, for seven years, and
now his day had come. The speaker then referred at
length to his action in Parliament, and concluded by stat-
ing that some of the talk he had listened to was very
like Te Whiti's. [Mete Kingi denied being influenced
by Te Whiti.] Karaitiana finished by saying—" Listen,
I will not rest till I have put down this man Te Whiti."
The visitors present were then invited by Mete Kingi
to partake of the dinner he had provided. The repast
was excellent, everything being served in European style.
Mete was most assiduous in attending to his guests, and
really his hospitality was most profuse. Several ladies
from town (Mrs. B. W. Woon, Mrs. Hardcastle, and Mrs.
B. K. Taylor) graced the table with their presence.
Toasts were not neglected, Karaitiana proposing the
Queen, and afterwards the health of Mr. Bryce, as chair-
man o£ the Native Petitions Committee. The health of
the Native Minister and of Mete Kingi also received due
attention. After dinner the meeting adjourned till the
evening.
Business was resumed shortly before eight o'clock, and
Mr. Sheehan inquire.I if they had any more questions to
ask, so that he might reply in full. Haimoana asked for
the same privilege in purchasing ammunition as the
Pakehas. Katene endorsed this request, and again urged
the importance of having a Native office in Wanganui.
He also wished the Minister to give effect to the deci-
sions of the Maori Committee, and thought that all trans-
actions in Native lands should be conducted by wise mea
chosen from among the Natives. He wanted another
chamber in Parliament for the Maoris : also, a Maori
Governor.
The Hon. J. Sheehan then rose to address the Natives.
He again thanked them for their reception, and said he
was glad he had visited Wanganui, and heard what they
had to say. He was not frightened at the number or
magnitude of their questions, as he preferred to hear
everything, whether pleasant or otherwise, for the salva-
tion of the country depended on the liberty of each race
to speak their minds. By their own account they were a
sick people, and had sent for a doctor. He had come and
would administer some medicine. They must remember,
however, that one of the essential qualities of the best
medicine was its nasty taste, sufficient to make a man
wrinkle his face. He would ask them to listen quietly,
and take the medicine he was going to give them in good
faith that it was being administered for their benefit.
The first point was liberty to buy powder. He thought
there should be some relaxation of the restrictions, as the
amount now allowed to be sold to them was smaller than
in any other part of the colony. He would think the
matter over, and let Mete Kingi know. The next point
was the establishment of a Governor for the Maori people.
He could not quite make out the meaning of that request.
Many years ago they had met in the Waikato, and made a
Kawana, whom they called their King. The result was
Waitara, killing of Europeans, a lengthy war, and the
taking of their land in payment. He thought they had
had quite enough of a Governor for the Maoris after that.
The Native Minister for the time being was the Maori
Kawana, and bad charge of their interests. He was the
Native Minister, and was a very jealous Kawana, and
would take it much to heart if they preferred strange
gods to him. The very essence of the salvation of the
Native race was in their becoming one with the Euro-
peans. The talk of a Maori Kawana meant keeping the
races apart; therefore he could not listen to such a
request, nor give it any attention. The request for
another room for Natives visiting Parliament he would
inquire into. They had one room, a very good room he
thought, but if it was not sufficient for the purpose
another would be provided. In reply to several Natives
who had spoken of reserves and Government purchases, it
opened a very large question. He would say to them
what he had said to them on the East Coast when in 1873
he was invited to conduct the Native cases. He told the
Maoris there that he would toke up cases against private
persons, but would decline any case against the Govern-
ment. Where they had a case against the Government,
the Parliament was the proper place to make inquiries
into it. His advice therefore was, if they had any claim,
bring it before Parliament, and he would promise that
they would receive a fair hearing and fair play. The
Government were not afraid of being found to be in the
wrong. If it was proved they were wrong, compensation
would be made.
It was useless asking him to investigate claims, as he
was only the servant of Parliament; but he promised
that any claims should receive attention. Among the

many questions asked were some small and some large.
He would reply to the small ones first. The claim of
Hoani Meti and his brother to some reserve north of the
Waitotara, on account of their mother, should be referred
to Major Brown, who was the officer in charge of that
district. Mawhai had referred to a balance of £500 due
on account of the purchase of the Wanganui block. This
was the first he had heard of the matter, but if, as they
alleged, the money had been paid to Sir D. McLean, it
Would still be in the hands of the Government. He would
like Mete Kingi and Mawhai to call upon him, so that he
could put their statements in writing, and see to it when
he got to Wellington. With respect to the Harbour
Board works interfering with their reserve : Last year
Parliament passed a bill enabling the Europeans to obtain
large sums of money to be expended in deepening the
river and improving the harbour. Such a bill was not
peculiar in Wanganui, but some thirty other bills for
harbours in other parts of the colony had been passed. So
far as he knew the proposed works would do them good
instead of harm. The result would be a great increase of
traffic, better business, and improved value of all lands.
They had seen the effect of the railways in increasing the
value of the land, and the same result would follow the
harbour works. They make two objections to the works :
first, that they objected to pay any charge on boats going
out and coming into the harbour. He did not think they
had any boats. They had canoes for fishing, and he would
guarantee them against any charge being made on canoes.
The Europeans had no intention of charging on canoes,
and if they did he would pay it himself. The next point
was the collection of firewood. That would not be
affected in any way. No matter what the Harbour Board
did, there would always be freshets in the river, and they
could always collect the driftwood as before. The ques-
tion of interference with their fishery rights was impor-
tant. He\_ would explain their rights under the Treaty of
Waitangi. The claim of all persons holding under Euro-
pean title to land stops short at high water, but in the
treaty exception was made in favour of the Natives.
They surrendered the sovereignty of the land to the
Queen, who in return promised them possession of their
lands and fisheries. So far then as the harbour works
may be said to affect their right, they were justified in
asking for an inquiry, and so far as their rights were in-
terfered with, he, as Native Minister, would protect them.
When the works commenced he would make inquiry, and
if it was found that harm would come to them, he would
bring the matter before the Harbour Board. That body
had no wish to injure or interfere with the Natives. He
had been asked to sanction the stoppage of all sales,
surveys, and mortgages by three of the speakers ; a
fourth speaker wanted power to sell to whom he liked. It
was difficult to know which to believe—the man who
wanted to sell, or the others who did not. To stop mort-
gages was an idle request, as the Act of 1873 forbids all
mortgages ; and if any Native has given a mortgage since
that date, it is not worth the paper it is written on. Now,
as to the stoppage of sales. They might as well ask for
the stoppage of marriages, or for a law to prevent the
pro-creation of children, as he had as much power for the
one as the other. The Natives would sell their land ; at
least that had been his experience. Then, as to surveys.
Why,all the land available they had was being: surveyed
now. Then they asked for power to sell to whom they
liked. The result of such a measure would be that in ton
years' time they would not have an acre left, and instead
of being chiefs and wealthy men, they would become the
hewers of wood and the drawers of water for the Euro-
peans. Their salvation was the power to sell under pro-
per control, and at a fair price. He could well
understand their desire to have sales stopped, as he
had no doubt many sales had taken place under
circumstances unfair to them. The reason was
that the laws under which those sales had been made-
were bad. He could not stop sales, but he could and
would provide a remedy for unfair sales. The first thing
would be to establish a Court to determine the title to the
and. Hitherto the Court for determining titles had been-
in the hands of Europeans. He proposed to give this-
power to a Native Court, and then when the title was de-
termined, a European judge could step in and show them
bow to settle the title to the land to the best advantage.
As to surveys, he thought a survey should not be held at
the request of one or two, but the same rule should apply
as when they applied for a sale. The Court would sit and-
decide whether the majority were in favor of a survey or-
against. They must learn to apply the same principle of
a majority as the Pakehas did. For example, ne held his-
office by the will of a majority. To illustrate his mean-
ing he would put a case. Suppose there was a block of
land with ten grantees, two or three of whom wanted to
sell, but the rest did not. Well, the Court would decide
that the block should not be sold. The minority, how-
ever, would have their remedy, as they could apply to-
have their share cut off. Then comes the question of
being free to sell as they thought proper. Any new Act
would be incomplete without provisions for sales. It was
idle to ask him to stop sales, but he thought there should
be some restriction. If they were equal to the Pakehas
in knowledge of the law he would say, you are your own
masters, do as you life ; but because they were not equal
to the Pakehas in the knowledge of the law, did not speak.
the Pakeha language, and consequently were dependent on
other persons, he would say there should be some restric-
tion. They should properly understand what they were
signing, also that iu parting with their land to the Go-
vernment they should retain sufficient for their support.
Doing that, the Government would have done enough,
and to the majority would be left the questions of survey
and sale. He was speaking of the law that he wa»
shortly to put before Parliament, not of the law as it now
stood. The next request was that he should stop the
Native agents. These Native agents had been likened to
pheasants, and they spoke of shooting them like
pheasants. They also asked him to take the money away
from the Native agents, so that they should not do any
more harm. If he took their money away he would be
breaking the law, and would be sent to gaol. The agents,
perhaps, did harm, but it would net do to shoot them like
pheasants. If they killed a pheasant they could eat it,
but if they killed an agent the policeman would very soon
want to know all about it, and sonic one would stand a
very good chance of being hanged. The Pakehas were
all equal, and could do what they liked with their own
money. He did not say but what some did harm, for
there were both bad and good of both races. Much evil
had been caused by the fact that no matter how wide the
path to a Native agent's office, the Maori generally pre-
ferred going to it through the public-house. Great harm
had been caused by this indulgence in waipiro. He in-
tended passing a law whereby if, say Mete Kingi desired
to exclude liquors from this settlement he could do so. To
the chief of each settlement would be given the power to
regulate admission of liquor. The law will not be com-
pulsory, but it would be for each settlement to ask for it
to be brought into force. He came now to the request
for Native committees to have power to pass laws for the
government of the Maoris, and to pass laws for the ap-
proval of Parliament. Parliament would never break the
principle that there must be only one Parliament and ono
law in the country. If committees throughout the island
had power to pass laws for the government of the Maoris
they would all be at daggers drawn in three months.
Each committee would have a different law, so that cross
I ing from one district to another an offence against one of
these laws would be committed through ignorance. Ho
would say to them as one who had fought their battle,

Ko te Kupu a te Komiti mo runga i te pukapuka-inoi a
Meiha Keepa Rangihiwinui me etahi atu.
E ki ana nga kai-inoi ko tetahi whenua kei Wairarapa
e karangatia ana ko Morea kaore rawa i hokona ki te
Kawanatanga a e inoi ana kia whakahokia ki nga tangata
ake no ratou.
Kua whakahaua ahau kia ki penei atu ki te Whare :—
Ko te whenua e korerotia nei i roto o te pukapuka-inoi
he mea hoatu noatu ki te Kawanatanga i te tau 1853, ko
taua hoatutanga i whakatikaia e tetahi pukapuka i te tau
l875, he mea tuhi na nga tangata i maharatia no ratou.
A no naianei ano katahi ka mahara nga kai-inoi ki te
whakahe i taua tuku. I runga i nga korero a Te Whata-
horo tetahi o nga kai-inoi, e hara ta ratou i te whakahe
mo te tukunga, engari mo te utunga i roto o enei tau ka
pahemo ake nei i etahi moni ki etahi tangata torutoru nei.
e ake ana ki tetahi wahi o taua whenua ki Moroa. Ko te
whakaaro a te Komiti, ki te whakapuaretia tenei mea, ma
tetahi tino Kooti e taea ai te whakaoti.

KI TE ETITA o TE WANANGA.
E hoa tena ra koe, utaina atu ena kupu ki runga ki te WA-
NANGA, hei matakitaki ma nga iwi o te motu nei. Ahakoa
Pakeha Maori mo to matou whenua, tae atu ki to matou Waka.
Ko taua wahi, he papatupu,he whenua mau tonu ia matou, i
waho ia matou i te hoko o Waimata, raua ko Tuhaumi i haere
tonu i te tua-whenua te hoko, ko taua wahi he motu kei waho
i te moana, puta noa ki te one, mau tonu iho ia matou taua
wahi. No te 24 o nga ra o tenei marama o Hune, 187S ka
kite matou e waengia ana taua wahi, e hangaia ana he whare
ki runga he, wapu. Ka tae matou ki te whakakore i taua
whare, ka ki mai te Pakeha Akeniriki. Na te Kawanatanga i
hoko kia ia taua wahi, heoi kaore i tika taua hoko a te Ka-
wanatanga, kaore hoki matou e mohio ki te huarahi i hoko ai
ia i to matou whenua ki te Kawanatanga tawhito- Me mutu
to tango tu i nga whenua Maori, no te mea kei te ora ano nga
tangata nona taua whenua. E hoa kei hoha koe ki te tuku atu
i tenei panui ki runga ki to tatou WANANGA, kia tere te tuku
atu. ena hoki matou e tae ki te taenga mai o te Riihi roia,
ka panuitia ano e au kia Te Riihi roia, heoi ano.

Panuitanga naka na Te Hapuku mo Poukaawa
moana kia kaua e Whakamaroketia i muri ia au nei.
Hei Ture tuturu tenei maku ma Te Hapuku mo toku
whenua mo te Hauke papa tupu, tae noa atu ki nga wha-
katupuranga katoa e haere ake nei.
E hoa e te Etita o TE WANANGA, tukua atu e koe taku
panui ki te ao katoa nei haere ai kia kitea ai, e nga iwi
katoa i runga i te Motu nei, Maori, Pakeha hoki, kia rua
nga reo, he Maori he Pakeha hoki. Na, taku kupu ko Po-
ukaawa moana, kaua e pokanoa te Pakeha, te Maori ranei
ki te kari awa, hei rerenga mo te wai, kei maroko a Pou-
kaawa. E kore e tika kia pokanoa te Pakeha, te Maori
ranei ki te hanga ritenga maana ki runga ki toku whenua
he ingoa ano toku, he mana ano toku kei runga kei oku
whenua e mau nei i ahau, he wahi iti tenei wahi e toe nei
ko te Hauke anake, me waiho tonu tenei wahi kia takoto
Maori ana, kaore he Karauna Karaati, kaore he whakawa
mo runga i tenei whenua papa tupu i te Hauke, puta noa
ki Poukaawa moana, he taunga mo taku Ture Maori, he
tikanga tonu iho tenei naku tipuna, tuku iho nei ki a ahau
kia Te Hapuku.
E hoa e te Etita o te WANANGA tukua atu e koe taku
panui kia Ta Hori Kerei, kia whakamanaia mai, te Ture
Maori, otira e whai mana ana ahau ki te whenua. Me
tuku tonu nga panui i nga Hatarei katoa o te marama o
te tau 1878. He kupu tautoko tenei na te Komiti Kau-
matua mo te kupu a te Hapuku, e tika ana, ka rongo tonu
matou i ana kupu, kaua te Pakeha e pokanoa ki te kari
awa hei rerenga mo te wai, kei maroke a Poukaawa.
Ko te take kaore tenei whenua i Kootitia, Kaore i Ka-
rauna Karaatitia, he whenua papatupu tonu tenei whenua
ko Te Hapuku tonu te Karauna Karaati o runga i te
mana Maori takoto ai. He Ture tuturu tonu tenei, mo
nga tupuna, tuku iho ki nga matua, tuku iho nei kia matou
