HATAREI, AKUHATA 31, 1878.
KUA tae mai te pukapuka a tetahi Pakeha i tuhi-
tuhi ai. A he pukapuka taua pukapuka, mo nga
whenua o nga motu nei. He ako na taua Pakeha
i ana mahara i kite ai mo a te Maori whenua kia
mahia e ia e taua Pakeha kia puta ai he mea i a ia
te mahi mo a te Maori whenua.
A i ki mai taua Pakeha kia taia e matou ana
korero ki te reo Maori ki Te WANANGA nei, kua
korerotia e matou nga korero o te pukapuka a taua
Pakeha, a e kore rawa matou e pai kia taia te kupu
kotahi a taua Pakeha. He mea hoki e tino wha-
kahe ana matou ki nga tikanga a taua Pakeha i
tuhituhi ai mo a te Maori whenua.
E ki ana hoki matou, e kore e pai ma te Pakeha
tauhou, ma te manene e ako mai te iwi Maori. E
kore hoki te tangata haere mai o nga whenua ke,
e mohio ki a te Maori tikanga mo ana whenua. A
he Pakeha u hou mai taua Pakeha ki nga motu nei.
A na wai a Tama-te-uia i kii mana rawa ano e ako
te iwi Maori.
E ki ana etahi Pakeha o tawahi, he whenua pai
enei motu mo nga turoro o nga motu ke atu e
haere mai ai, kia ora, ara kia matutu ai i o ratou
mate turoro, heoi ra, e mea ana matou, ki te mea
ka haere mai nga turoro o nga whenua ke atu ki
enei motu noho ai, a koia rawa ano ko te turoro hei
ako i a au i te Maori, e mana ma te mea mate ahau
e ako ki te ora moku,

E ki ana matou, ko te iwi mohio iti ki o te Ma-
ori tikanga mo a te Maori whenua, te iwi tino pa-
rare hameme ki te korero i a te Maori whenua. A
koia nei he kupu ako atu a matou ki aua tu Pakeha.
E hoa e noho kia ora koe i te mate, a kia nui he
tau mou e noho ai i enei motu, a kia nui he ako au
ia koe ki a te Maori tikanga, ko reira pu ano koe
te ki ai e kore te Pakeha e mohio ki te whakawa
ranei, ki te whakarite ranei i o te Maori whenua,
engari ano me waiho ma te Maori ake ano e mahi
nga mahi e kitea ai nga uri tuturu nona ake te
whenua.
E mea atu ana matou ki nga iwi, mehemea kua
mahia nga kupu o te pukapuka a taua Pakeha, (a
te ingoa o taua pukapuka ko "Rotowara,") ki te
reo Maori, ma koutou ma te hunga kua kite i aua
kupu e titiro tona tikanga, ara e mea ana aia, ma
te Pakeha anake a koutou whenua e whakahaere,
a ko koutou ko te Maori rae noho kupu kore. E
kore rawa te iwi Maori e pai atu ki te tikanga a
taua Pakeha.
Te Wananga,
Published every Saturday.
SATURDAY, AUGUST 31, 1878.
WE acknowledge the receipt of a pamphlet entitled
Ryotwarry, a Solution of the Maori Laud
Question,'' * which we have been requested to
translate and insert in TE WANANGA.
We have read the pamphlet, but we do not in
the least agree with the writer, nor can we publish
any part of it.
We are inclined to condemn any interference of
a stranger in a matter about which he shows him-
self so utterly ignorant, and we wonder at his
assumption in giving advice in matters which relate
to the Native race of New Zealand. If our colony
has been spoken of as the most suitable residence in
which invalids may recruit their health, it does not
follow that we are to be annoyed by the insane
meddling of such invalids, whose unstrung intellects
prompt them to assume the position of law givers.
New Zealand is not wanting in able men, yet our
oldest and best educated politicians in Maori
matters feel a doubt when they attempt to solve the
Maori land question.
From observation we are inclined to assert that
residents of one year in New Zealand assume to I
know more about the Maori people than residents
of twenty years. So soon as these would-be wise
have learnt to speak a little of the Maori language
the light of facts creates a certain amount of know-
ledge which leads in some instances to dispel the
myth that formerly occupied the mind of its pos-
sessor, and when the residence has extended over a
few years, the Native question, which before was
taken as an easy matter to solve, looks like a tangled
web that more and more becomes unreadable to the
European mind.
There is not any question less understood by the
European than the Maori right to deal with land
and there is not any right to property which a
Maori holds with more sacred jealousy than his own
personal right to deal with his land. We have
heard of many suggestions offered by Europeans
to deal with the Maori lands, but of all the pro-
posals the wildest and the most impracticable is that
which is proposed in the pamphlet in question.
If the writer of the pamphlet will remain silent
and make use of ordinary observation, and pass,
say, ten years in New Zealand, we promise him at
the end of that time a complete reversion of his
present aspirations, and a full and entire correc-
tion of his present ignorance.
If, as we suppose, the pamphlet has been trans-
lated into the Maori language, we would call the
attention of those of our Maori readers who have
read it to the proposal made therein, to take all
the right from the Maori to deal with his land and
to give it to commissioners—a scheme so revolting
to the Maori mind that we have no hesitation in
saying that " Ryotwarry" will not for one instant
be listened to by the tribes.
NGA RONGO KORERO;
TE KARA A MA HAMITI.
I kiia i te takiwa o Ruhia raua ko Take e whawhai
ana, kia maua te kara a te Take, a to ratou Ariki o
mua, hei kara arahi i te ope taua a Take ki te wha-
whai. He mea hoki na taua iwi Take, he kara mana:
taua kara ana kawea ki te riri. A te take i kore ai e
kawea taua kara e te Take i to raua he ko Ruhia, he
mea kua tahaetia taua kara e te tangata, a hoake
rawa te mahara a te Take ki ta ratou oha kua riro i
te iwi ke, a na te kore o taua kara i kawea ki te riri a
Take raua ko te Ruhia, i mea ai te iwi Take, na reira
aia a Take, i mate ai ia Ruhia.
THE STANDARD OF THE PROPHET
MAHOMET.
It is said that the real reason why the Porte aban-
doned the idea of unfolding the '"Standard of the
Prophet." with which Europe has been so often threat-
ened, was the very simple one that the sacred emblem
is no longer in its possession. According- to a Ger-
man contemporary, an Italian traveller succeeded
some years ngo in bribing the guardians of the
mosque where the Standard was kept. and succeeded
in getting possession of the relie, which at the present
moment is iu the Museum of Tarin. The ulemas and
dervishes attribute to the loss of the standard all the
misfortunes which have attended the arms of Islam.

NGA MAORI O TAURANGA.
E ki ana te Nupepa o Tauranga, koia nei nga Ma-
ori o taua wahi: o Tauranga 573 Taane, 513 wahine,
o Maketu 1,300 taane, 1,019 wahine, Opotiki 1,512
taane, 1,263 wahine, huihui katoa 6,180. A ko Te
Urewera i tau ki roto i aua tini nei.
E ki ana taua Nupepa nga Maori o aua wahi nei
ano i mohiotia i te tau 1874, i tae ki te 6,648, a ko
enei o enei tau kua iti haere. He aha ra te take i iti
ai. He haere ke atu pea na etahi ki etahi iwi ke atu
noho ai.
NATIVE CENSUS OF TAURANGA.
The Bay of Plenty Times published the census re-
turns of the Native population of that district, which
are as follows:—Tauranga District Males, 573,
females, 513 ; total, 1,086. Maketu District: Males,
1,300; females, 1,019 ; total, 2,319. Opotiki District:
Males, 1,512; females, 1,263 : total, 2,775. Totals :
Tauranga district, 1,086; Maketu, 2,319 ; Opotiki,
2,775. Grand total, 6,180. This includes the Ure-
wera tribe, with the exception of those members of that
tribe residing at Waikaremoana. On comparing this
year's census returns with the last, taken in 1874, a very
marked decrease in the Native population is manifest.
The census returns of 1874 showed a Native popula-
tion in the Bay of Plenty numbering 6,648; the
decrease has thus been at the rate of 15 per cent,
during the last four years. It may be excepted as a
general fact that the Maori race is declining rapidly
in many Native districts throughout New Zealand ;
gradually, but no less more assuredly, in others.
HE KEKENO I HOPUKIA E TETAHI TAMAITI.
E ki ana te Nupepa o Katapere. He haerenga no
tetahi tamaiti ki te akau i Wuruera, a ka kite aia i
te kekeno e noho a i te akau, a ko te mea i te ringa o
taua tamaiti he tarapu tera hoiho, a na taua tamaiti i
patu tana ika ki taua tarapu tera. E waru puutu te
roa o taua kekeno.
CAPTURE OF A SEAL AT CANTERBURY.
On Friday morning a lad named Rambey, while
searching for frost fish on the beach at Woodend in
the Canterbury district came across a large seal.
With no other weapon than a stirrup iron the boy
pluckily tackled it, and with some trouble succeeded
in killing the creature. The carcase was conveyed to
Woodend, where it is now being exhibited. It is over
8 feet long, and fought for nearly an hour with its
small antagonist.
TE HUKARERE 1 TAKAPAU.
No tera marama i tino nui ai te hukarere i te Taka-
pau, i Nepia, a e ono inihi te hohonu o taua hukarere
i te whenua e takoto ana. Mehemea pea e kite ana a
Hauraki, a Ngapuhi ranei i taua mea nei e rere ana i
te takiwa o te rangi, penei ka miharo te iwi, ma te
tauhou e titiro taua mea nei, e kore e mohiotia.
SNOWFALL AT TAKAPAU.
A heavy fall of snow occurred in the Forty-Mile
Bush last month. At 7 a.m. there were six inches of
snow all over the ground, and it has not yet cleared
away.
HE WHEUA MOA.
No tera wiki i kitea ai nga whena moa e te Pa-
keha, i ko mai o Taratera i Nepia. He repo te wahi
i keria e te Pakeha ka kitea aua wheua, kahore he
wheua moa kia pera te nui me aua wheua i kitea
nei. He aha te Maori te korere ai i nga korero mo
te mahi moa a ona tupuna i mua, ki te mea ka tuhi-
tuhi mai i ana korero i rongo ai ki tenei manu ki te
moa ki Te WANANGA nei, ka taia aua korero e matou.
He ui atu hoki tenei, kia tuhia, mai te tikanga o mua
e mate ai te moa, me nga karakia aru moa, me nga
mahi katoa a te Maori e mate ai te moa i te Maori.
MOA BONES DISCOVERED AT NAPIER.
A man named Harpham, who has been engaged by
Mr. H. S. Tiffen to drain the swamp at the foot of
the Puketapu Hills, has come across some moa bones,
which, for size are unequalled to any yet found in
the colony. The swamp, we learn, is teaming with
the bones of the moa. Those interested in scientific
pursuits should pay the swamp a visit.

QUESTION ABOUT GOVERNMENT
OFFICERS.
Mr Sutton moved for a return of all officers whose
services had been dispensed with since the 1st De-
cember, 1877, together with the salaries attached to
the offices, and compensation paid, and also the
names of any officers appointed since that date, and
the nature of the appointments and the amount of
salary.

DEATH OF KINGS AND QUEENS.
Queen Mercedes of Spain, died from excessive
hemorrhage. Spain went into mourning over her

pired in the arms of the King.
The ex-King George of Hanover died in Paris.
The Emperor of Morocco is dead.

NATIVE MEETING AT TAUPO.
We learn that a large native meeting will shortly
be held at Orunui, near Taupo. Great preparations
are being made for feasting the visitors at the meeting
which is to be of a non-political character.

CURIOUS DISCOVERY,
Several portions of the skeleton of a large bird,
supposed to be the moa have been found at
Queenstown. Judging from the appearance of the
skin and feathers, the bird could not have been dead
many years.

EARTHQUAKE FELT AT RAGLAN.
AUCKLAND, May 23.
A letter just received in town to day, announces
that severe earthquake shocks have been felt at Rua-
peka, a short distance southward of Raglan, on Friday
last. The motion was from west to east, the shocks
being preceded by a loud rumbling noise. The settlers
were much frightened, but so far as is known no
damage was done; no report of any previous earth-
quake being experienced in the same district.
NGA MAORI O TARANAKI.
He korero na Meiha Paraone ki te Hekeretari Maori, i
mohiotia ai nga Maori e noho ana i te Takiwa atu ano i
Mokau a tae noa ki Waitotara.
Nga taane i nui ake o ratou tau i te 15, 1,335; nga wahine
1,147; nga taane ki ano nga tau i tae ki te 15, 602 ; nga
wahine, 456 ; huihui katoa, 3,440.
E ki ana a Te Paraone e iti haere ana te Maori, i te mea
he tini i era tau. Te take i oti pai ai te tahi nga ingoa o
te iwi i enei ra, kua noho ataahua te iwi, a kua pai te
whakaaro.
NATIVE CENSUS FROM MOKAU TO
WAITOTARA.
From Major Brown's report to the Under Native
Secretary we learn that the Maori population from
Mokau to Waitotara is as follows :—Males over 15,
1,335; females, 1,147; males under 15, 502;
females, 456; total, 3,440. Although the return
shows an increase since last census, the Civil Com-
missioner says from his knowledge since he has been
in the office there has been a steady decrease. The
cause of the apparent increase is attributed to the
census being more perfect than in previous years,
owing to the present peaceful state of the Natives,
and the number therefore being more easily ascer-
tained correctly.

He pouri nui, he tangi nui kua pa mai kia matou, mo to
matou tuakana tino aroha, mo Anaru Tautari Patene, kua

Ko Anaru Patene, te tama mataamua a Wi Patene. Kaore
pea he tangata e noho kuare nei kia Anaru Patene. Ahakoa
kore noa etahi i kite i tona tinana, engari e rongo ana ki tona

80 tekau, toko waru i hoki ora mai 'ki o matou kainga tapu,
ko te nuinga i mate katoa atu i te whainga i te matauranga i

nare mo Waipa, ka whakaturia he kura ki Karakariki nei, a
he nui no nga tamariki o taua kura nei i aua tau, ka tonoa
mai a Anaru Patene hei kai whakaako hei awhina ia Haata
Patene i to matou tuahine, kua ngaro atu ra ia, mo enei e rima
i mua atu i tona tungaane, i te tau 1862, ka tukua maihe

hei kai whakaako mo te kura nui e hanga ana e te Meiha Wi
Te Wheoro, ratou ko te Kawanatanga ki te Kohekohe, heoti
na te taha Kingi i whakararu taua mahi a te Meiha W. Te
Wheoro, ka kore, i te tan 1863, ko te whawhai nui ki roto o
Waikato nei, i ngaro te iwi me te whenua. Ka whai kupu
ano ia ki o matou iwi kia kaua e uru ki te whawhai ki te
Pakeha, ko etahi i whakarongo, ko nga mea kihai i rongo i
oti atu ano ratou ki te ritenga o ta ratou, i te taima ka horo a
Rangiriri, ka mau hoki Waikato i te herehere ko nga pouaru i
tiakina e ia i raro i tana mahi atawhai, i te ra o te horonga o
Ngaruawahia i haere atu ano ia kia kite ia te Tianara Kame-
rana, mau rawa atu i Taupiri e rere ake ana te tima Painia,
me nga mano hoia me te Tianara, i haere atu ia mo te ora o te
iwi, kei pohehetia to matou iwi, heoi manaaki mai ana a te
Tianara mo te pai o tana haere atu, a i runga i te pai i te
mohio hoki o tana whakahaere, he nui nga painga i puta kia
matou i te taima katoa o te whawhai. A no taua tau ano ka
tukua mai he kupu e Tamati Rahara. (koia hoki te Minita o
te whawhai i taua taima.) Kia uru a Anaru Patene ki nga
mahi nui tonu o te Kawanatanga, ko te turanga tenei i wha-
karitea mona i roto i taua Kawanatanga. He kai tuhituhi,
he kai whaka-maori i roto i nga Kooti Pakeha o Waikato nei.
A i te tau 1864 ka mutu tena mahi ki roto i nga tari o nga
kai whakawa tuturu, ka whakaturia e Te Makarini hei kai-
whakawa ki te taha Maori. A i roto i aua tau e wha nei
i timata mai ai tana whakaturanga hei kai whakawa. I
nuku atu ia ki runga iti atu o Arekahanara mahi haere ai, mo
nga painga o te iwi. E hoa ma, ko Anaru Patene, ne tangata
tino aroha, e kore e taea te ata whakaatu katoa o ana mahi
aroha, a he tangata e tino arohaina ana e te taha Pakeha,
Maori hoki, ko Anaru Patene, he tangata kaore ano i tino kau-
matua, ka wha tekau tonu nga tau, no tona haerenga atu ki te
kara i te Rikingi, tae noa mai ki te ra i tangohia ai ia, ka 30
tekau nga tau, 10 tau ona ka tae atu ia ki te Rikingi kura ai,
12 ona tau ki te kura, ka tonoa hei kai whakaako mo te kura
i Waipa nei, a no taua takiwa, tae noa mai ki te ra i tangohia

a he maha noa atu nga tohenga o te Kawanatanga o Te Ma-
karini kia riro atu a Anaru ki Poneke rano mahi ai i nga mahi
o te Kawanatanga, heoi kihai i tukua e nga iwi Maori, o konei
e te taha Pakeha hoki.
He kore hoki no tetahi tamaiti Maori i rite kia Anaru te
mohio, me te marama ki nga tikanga katoa e puta ai he pai-
nga ki ona iwi Maori, Pakeha hoki, no reira ka tuhia tetahi
pukapuka Pitihana e te taha Pakeha, e te taha Maori hoki hei
pupuru mona kia waiho ano ia ki Waikato nei mahi ai i nga
mahi Kawanatanga. E hoa ma, ko Anaru Patene e tino mo-
hid katoa ano te tokomaha noa atu ki te pai o nga nahi a
tenei tangata, ko tona oranga e ahu mai ana i te Kawanata-
nga, i whakapaua tonutia e ia mo nga painga o te iwi katoa,
a i runga i te nui. me te kaha rawa o ana mahi aroha, kihai
rawa i mahue tetehi wahi oranga mo ana tamariki i mahue
nei i a ia i te ao.
E hoa ma, he mea tino pouri rawa kia au ano, taku wha-
kaatu i te mate i pa mai nei ki a ia, i te 16 o nga ra o Hurae,
ka haere atu a Anaru Patene kite kainga o tetahi Pakeha
Rangatira, he whakarite mihini patu witi ma te iwi, ka rite,
heoi ka haere atu ia ki nga kainga o te iwi, kia whakaritea he
kohinga moni mo te mihini, ka moe ia ki reira, i te ata, i te
tekau ma whitu 17 e nga ra, ka hoki mai ki to matou kainga.
Ka mea, ka mamae taku ngutu, nei, kahore rawa, he mohiota-
nga ake o to ngakau tera e tae ki te he. I taua ra e parau
tonu ana, ka mea he hanga noaiho. Te 18 o nga ra ka mahi
ano, i te ahiahi o taua ra, ka mea kua toimaha tona tinana,
katahi ka takoto ki te moenga, i te ata te 19 o nga ra kua
pupuhi katoa te tinana, me te kino rawa o te mate, i te ata i
te 20 o nga ra, kua porangi, kihai rawa i taea e matou te
mohio i nga poroporoaki ake i te nui rawa o te kino o te mate,
me te reo, i rere ke noa atu hoki te reo, heoi, ka mea kia pupu-
ru te ringa ki te pene, me tuhi eia ana kupu poroporoaki, te
whakamatauranga, kahore rawa i taea. Te 2 o nga haora o
taua ra ano, ka tino hemo. Heoi ra, e hoa ma ka waiho i te
hunga ora te mamae, me te pouri, e kore e taea te korero ake
te pouri, tenei tonu matou ona whanaunga te mamae nei, te
pouri nei, e kore hoki e kitea i muri i a ia tetahi kia rite ki aia
a haunga ano ra matou e pouri nei. He tokomaha noa atu
nga hoa Pakeha e tino pouri ana mona.
I te 26 o nga ra, ka nehua, he nui noa atu nga Pakeha o
Waikato i tae mai kia kite i tona nehunga, ko Anaru Patene,
ano he moni koura ki ona iwi, ano he rama e ka ana, tiaho
tonu tona maramatanga, tenei ra e hoa ma, kua mate te rama
o tenei whare, heoi ra e hoa ma, na te runga rawa nga whaka-
haerenga, e ki ana te ki tapu ia Hopa.
Nana ano i homai nana i tango atu, kia whakapaingia te
ingoa o Ihowa. A e ki ana ano i tetahi ki tapu, nana hoki o
tatou karawarawa, maua ano tatou e takai.
Heoi ra e koro tukua atu ki runga i to WANANGA, kei hoha
koe, kia kite nga hoa aroha katoa, na to hoa.

HE TANGATA MATE
E ki ana te nupepa te Herara o Akarana, kua mate a
Anaru Patene o Whatawhata. E kiia ana, i a ia e moe ana
i ngaua aia pea e te katipo, i te mea i te aonga ake, e mau
ana te tohu o te ngaunga i tona ngutu. A i tetere taua mea
a mate ana aia, ko te Maori e ki ana he mate makutu, otira
he teka, kahore hoki he tika o te makutu. He nui te pouri
o te iwi Pakeha ki ta ratou tamaiti, i te mea he tino tangata
a Anaru Patene, he rangatira no ana mahi me ona whakaaro.
He tini nga tau ona i mahi ai i nga mahi nui a te Kawana-
tanga. A ia Anaru Patene ka mate nei, e ki ana te Pakeha,
ka noho pani ratou i te matua kore mo ratou i enei ra. A he
mea hoki na ratou ki te tika o te mahi a Anaru Patene mo
nga iwi katoa. He u nana ki te karakia ki te Atua, a he
mahi pono nana kia te Kuini.
SINGULAR DEATH.
The Whatawhata correspondent of New Zealand Herald
writes :—" Andrew Barton, of Karakariki, has died suddenly.
It appears from the report that he had been stung, during
sleep, by some poisonous insect, for in the morning a small
mark was observable upon his lip. This gradually swelled
until the whole head was swollen terribly. Oa Saturday last
he died, after having been three days ill. The Natives attri-
bute his death to witchcraft. Andrew Barton will be
generally regretted. He was indeed a Native gentleman.
For many years" he had occupied a responsible position as
Government assessor and mail contractor, and has always
been held in great respect. The Europeans have lost a
staunch ally, for Andrew Barton's loyalty was undoubted."

te mate a te Manihera Rangitakaiwaho, kaore e tae mai ki te
Kooti whakararuraru ai i tana korero, kei te ngaro ahau a
Ngatuere tona hoa kakari, me whakawa a te Ahikouka, ki a
tae rawa atu ahau, a Ngatuere, kua whakataua kia ia, tae
noa atu matou ko aku tamariki i te. 4 onga haora o te ahi-
ahi, kua mutu, kua whakataua kia ia, koia ahau i ki ai, he
tahae tona whakataunga, heoi kaore i mahara ki taua wha-
kataunga, ka mangere ahau, ki te tono kia whakatuwheratia
taua whakataunga, i oti tena i ahau, i nga marama, e toru.
4. I te whakawakanga tuatoru a te Kooti, i whakaturia te
Huuri, taua Huuri e hara i te mea i kowhiria mai i roto i nga
iwi ke o waho i te takiwa o Wairarapa, he kupu ano taku i
taua taima, tohe tonu te tangata nana i tono te Kooti, a
Matiaha kia tu, ko nga tangata tonu o konei e hoa riritia nei
ko ahau hei Runanga Huuri, ka mea atu ahau kahore, me
tiki i nga iwi ke hei Huuri kia marama ai taku hanganga,
no te.mea, he tauhou te Huuri, heoi, pukuriri ana te hunga
nana te Kooti i tono, koia taua whakataunga a te Huuri i
waiho nei hei take riringa mo toku wahi i te tahae.
5. I muri i tena, ka tonoa e au ki te Minita mo te taha
Maori, kia, Ta Tanara, Makarini, ka tonoa mai e ia te
Komiti rangatira Maori, he mea kowhiri, marire e ia i nga
iwi ke, i te 27, o Akuhata. 1873, ka tu taua Komiti rangatira
ki Kerei Taone, ko te Komiti tena i tae ki runga "ki te
whenua haere ai kia kite i nga take o oku tipuna, o oku
matua, i kite tonu hoki ahau, i mahi tahi matou ko oku
matua i runga i tenei whenua, kaore au i kite i taua tangata
i a Matiaha, i a ia e tito nei ki toku wahi nona, ko ana take
i whakaatu ai ki te Komiti kaore i mohiotia e taua Komiti
rangatira, ko a toua kai whaki take i whakaatu ai, kaore te
Komiti i kite i te putake o nga toto, e toru o a raua take
kotahi ano te waka, ko Kimitangata, e toru nga whenua i tu
ai te putake, no konei ahau i mohio ai he tino tahae tena
mahi a taua tangata e inoi na ki te Tumuaki ki a tukua te
Karauna Karaati ki a ia, kia riro i a ia toku wahi. E hoa
kaua e tukua taua Karaati, ki te tukua e koe, ko te taima ano
tena o te raruraru e pa ai ki tenei kainga ki Wairarapa, na
kia watea te Kawanatanga,.
E hoa e te Tumuaki, taku inoi mo tenei raruraru, me tuku
mai kia rua Karaati, ki ahau te Karaati o toku wahi, kia
Matiaha te Karaati o tona taha, ka marama, kaore he
raruraru o tena, taku kupu tuturu ma te Tumuaki ratou ko
tona Komiti, e tono tetahi Komiti rangatira o nga iwi ke, hei
whakawa ano i to maua raruraru, ko Matiaha kia tae te
Komiti ki runga titiro ai i ona take ki te whenua, a i oku
kore taketanga ki taua whenua, kia marama ai tana inoi ki
tona Karauna Karaati, ma taua Komiti rawa kia tu, ka kitea
taku he, ki te kore e tu taku e inoi atu nei, e kore ahau e
nuku i toku kaanga ahi o mua iho, a tae noa mai ki enei ra, e
kaa tonu atu nei taku ahi i runga inaianei, tena nga puka-
puka a te Komiti rangatira kei te Tari Maori i Poneke, heoi

CORRESPONDENCE.
To THE EDITOR OF THE WANANGA.
Friend, salutations to you. Long may you live. Friend,
let my word go ori board of our canoe, TE WANANGA, that it
may search for my relative, who is at Kaikoura (on the South
Island) perhaps, or may be at Otakou, or perhaps at the place
of Taiaroa, M.H.R. The name of my relative is Teuira.
Perhaps my relative is a female, or perhaps a man. If my
relative does see this letter, let him or her go to where the
Parliament meets at Wellington,"where there are people who
will tell him or her where I am to be found.
APERAHAMA RAUTAHI.
Tahoraite, Tamaki, August 11, 1878.
Panuitanga naku na T.e Hapuka mo Poukaawa
moana Ma kaua e Whakamaroketia i muri ia au nei.
Hei Ture tuturu tenei maku ma Te Hapuku mo toka
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 ngai
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 kite 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, pata 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
mana Maori takoto ai. He Ture tuturu tonu tenei mo
nga tupuna, tuku iho ki nga matua, tuku iho nei kia matou
ki ona uri i muri i a ratou, kaua te tangata e pokanoa ki te
whakahe i tenei Ture Maori, kua whakatuturutia nei e
Renata Tamakihikurangi te Ture Maori, mo te Hauke papa
tupu, puta noa i nga taha katoa o Poukaawa moana, haere

WANANGA, kia tere te tuku, kia TE WANANGA, hei
matakitaki ma nga iwi Maori, Pakeha hoki.
Ko tenei panui me tuku tonu i nga Hatarei katoa o te
marama, o te tau 1878, heoi na te Komiti katoa e noho
nei i te Hauke.

Notice by me, by Te Hapuku, respecting the Lake
Poukawa, that it shall not be Drained after my
Death.
The following is a law made by me, by Te Hapuku, which
shall be an unalterable law for my lands at Te Hauke which
have not passed through the Native Lands Court, and this
law shall be a law to all future generations.
Friend, the Editor of TE WAHANGA, publish this, my
notice, to all the world, and let it go over all the world, so
that all the tribes who live on these islands may see. it, that
is, all the Maori and European people. Let it appear in the
Maori and English languages.
Now, this is my word : That the Poukawa Lake shall not
be touched or meddled with by European or Maori, nor shall
anyone dig or make a drain by which the water shall escape
(from the lake), and thereby cause the lake to dry up. I
will not be right or just if any person whatever assume any
right or authority over my lands. I have a name ; I have
authority over all the lands which I own, and this portion I
now hold is very small—it is Te Hauke only—so that this
portion shall be left as it was in days gone by, according to
Maori customs and rights. And let no Crown grant, no inves-
tigation by the Native Lands Court be made or held for this
land, Te Hauke, and on to Poukawa Lake, which is now held
according to Maori right, so that this, my Maori Law, shall
take effect on it, as such law was the law of my ancestors for
ages past and even down to the days in which I, Te Hapuku,
bare lived.
Friend, the Editor of TE WANANGA, send my law to Sir G.
Grey, that he may approve of this, my Maori law. But I
have power over my own lands. Let this notice be published
each Saturday of the months of all the year 1878.
This is the word of the meeting of old chiefs in support of
the words of Te Hapuku, and it is true that we heard his
words that not any European should meddle with or cut
drains, so that the water of the Lake Poukawa could escape,
and thereby drain that lake. And the reasons for his words
are these : This land has not been passed through the Native
Lands Court, there has not been a Crown grant issued for it,
and it is held by Native title, as he, Te Hapuku, is the sole
holder (Crown grant) of this land, and Te Hapuku is the
Native Mana of this land, and such right to this land has
been that by which this land has been held from the grand-
fathers who held it in ages past, and even down to us the off-
spring of those ancient owners. Let not any person assume
any right to ignore this Maori law, as Renata Tamakihi-
kurangi has made this law steadfast on Te Hauke, as it is
land at Te Hauke, which is held by Maori custom, and it
includes all the land all around the margin of the Lake
Poukawa. In some future time the boundaries of the land
held under Maori right will be given, that is, all the Hauke
lands and all around the lake, over which this Maori law
shall have effect.
Now, O Editor of TE WANANGA, be quick and put this
notice into TE WANANGA, so that it may be seen by the
Maori and European public.
Let this notice be published ou each Saturday of the months
in the year 1878. Enough, from all the committee which is
now being held at Te Hauke.
