Kotahi Putanga i te Wiki.
HATAREI, 2 MAEHE, 1878.
HE mea atu tenei ki nga kai korero o TE WANANGA,
kia titiro ratou ki te Tare mo nga ingoa o te iwi kia
tuhituhia e nga kai mahi a te Kawanatanga, mo te
taa 1877. He mea hoki na matou, ki ano nga iwi
Maori i kite noa i taua Ture, koia matou i mea ai, rae
ata korero e matou nga tikanga o tana Ture, kia mo-
hiotia ai ona tikanga nga iwi Maori.
He tikanga na nga iwi nui o te ao nei, i ena wa, ka
tauria, ara ka tuhia nga ingoa o te iwi katoa ki te pu-
kapuka, he mea hoki kia mohiotia ai te nui o te iwi.
ara, te maha o nga tangata, nga wahine, me nga
tamariki o te iwi. A he mea ano hoki kia mohiotia
ai, mehemea e nui haere ana ranei. A he mea kia
mohiotia ai te tokomaha o ia Taone, o ia Taone, me te
ora, me te turoro ranei o te iwi. A koia ra ano hoki
te take i mahia ai ano taua Ture nei e te Kawanata-
nga.
1! ki aua le Ture; e korero nei matou, hei a Aperira
O te tau 1878, a o te 1880, ka mahi tuhi tuhi te iwi
ia ratou, a hei nga tau i muri o ana tau, kia rimu tau
ka tuhituhi ni ano te iwi, a kia rima tau ka tuhituhi
S i ano te iwi, a me pena tonu i nga wa katoa. Ara
kia rima tan, ka tuhituhi, i ia rima tau, i ia rima tau,
o nga wa katoa e taere ake nei.
A ko te tipoko te 25 o taua Ture nei e ki aua, kei a
Te Kawana te tikanga e mahia ai nga ingoa o nga
iwi Maori.
A koia nei nga take e korero ai nga iwi Pakeha
ana tuhituhia a ratou ingoa. Me korero te iwi i nga
korero e mohiotia ai te ahua o nga whare e nohoia ana
e te iwi. Te ingoa o nga tangata katoa o te iwi. He
mea marama ranei, e takakau ana ranei. Te karakia
e karakia ai te iwi. He mea ako ki te kura ranei. e
noho kuare ana ranei. Te nui o te whenua a ia
tangata a ia tangata o teiwi. He whenua e ngakia
ana ranei, a he aha nga mea e ngakia ana ki aua
whenna. E hia kau hoiho, me nga mea katoa a ia
tangata a ia tangata.
He mea tika pu ano kia mohiotia e te Kawanata-
nga, nga mea katoa o te iwi, kia mohio ai hoki Te
Kawanatanga ki nga mea hei mahi ma Te Kawanata-
nga e ora ai, a e tupu nui ai te iwi. A ma te mohio
o te Kawanatanga ki nga mate, ki nga he, ki nga tini
mea o te iwi ka tika ai he mahi ma te Kawanatanga
ki te iwi, Hei tautoko i te iwi ki te pai. A e mea ana
matou, he mahi tika rawa te mahi nei, kia mahia e
nga iwi Maori, kia mohio ai te Kawanatanga ki aua
mea, a kia mutu te ahua hopohopo a te Maori, ara kia
kore e kiia.be take he te take ana uia te tangata. He
mea hoki na mua, ki te mea ka ui te tangata i te u i
ki etahi n (e iwi, ho iwi rapu he mo te tangata e nia
ra, ina hoki te tauki e ki nei, "He kaha ui te kaha".
E he ano. kiu kore e whaakina mai nga mea e nia noi
ki nga iwi, a me mutu taua a o mua tangata i
tupato ai. i te mea hoki he ra ke enei, he ra no te
whakaahuru i te iwi, e hara hoki enei ra, i te ra e noho
wehiwehi ai te iwi. he ra no te ngaki kai, he ra no te
aami i te kai e tupu nui ai te iwi. E mea ana hoki
matou, ki te mea e kore te iwi e korero i nga mea e
uia e tana Ture, me pehea e mohiotia ai e te Kawana-
tanga nga mea hei mahi ma ratou mo te iwi, e puta ai
he pai ki te iwi. A ki te mea e kore te iwi e korero
i ana mato, me nga mahi rawa-kore a te iwi, me pehea
e mohio ai te Kawanatanga ki te tika ranei ki te he
ranei, o a to iwi kupu ana amuamu te iwi ki nga he
e taami ana ki te iwi. A ki te mea e kore te iwi Maori
e korero i nga mahi e mahia aua e te iwi Maori, i nga
mea e manaakitia ana, e te iwi Maori, me pehea e mo-
hiotia ni e te Kawanatanga, e takea, ai he Ture tika
mo nga iwi Maori, koia matou i mea ai, he mea pai
kia mahi nga . rangatira Maori me nga iwi Maori, i
aua mahi e kiia nei. ara, a te wa e tae atu ai nga. Pake-
ha kohikohi korero ma te Kawanatanga, me ata
whaaki katoa nga mea e ki ai aua Pakeha. A tetahi
kupu a matou e kii nei, ma te Maori ano ranei, e ata
tuhituhi o ratou ingoa ki te pukapuka, a ka tuku ai e
te Maori ano ana pukapuka kia te Kawana, a me wha-
aki ki aua pukapuka, nga whare, nga hoiho, nga kau,
nga whenua, rau te ingoa o te wahine, me nga tamariki
oia tangata, oia tangata. Ma reira te ao katoa ka kite
ai i te pono o te kii e ki nei nga Maori, e pai aua te
Maori ki nga Ture o Te Kuini.
Kahore ano a Te Kuini i kite noa i nga pukapuka
whaaki i te nui, me te tini o ana iwi Maori o enei
Motu, a ki te moa ka mahia aua pukapuka e nga. Ma-
ori ano, penei ka tika he kupu atu a Te Kawana kia
To Kuini, ana ki. He iwi tino pai te Maori ki nga
Ture o te Paremata o Nui Tireni, a e pai pu ana ano
hoki ki nga Ture a Te Kuini, a e rongo pu ana nga
iwi Maori ki aua Ture.

SATURDAY, MARCH 2. 1878.
| WE call the attention of our Maori readers to an Act
i passed by the New Zealand Parliament entitled
" The Census Act, 1877." As our Maori people
may not be aware of such. having been passed or do
not know the object of such Act, we will explain this
i to them.
i The great nations of the world Lave been in
I the habit of taking the number of the people of
I which their respective nations are composed, in
, ; order that they may learn if the people are
increasing in numbers or otherwise. Also, that
they may know the inhabitants who occupy each
city, town or village, in order that sanitary
• laws may be passed for the health and good govern-
ment of such in accordance with the number of
| inhabitants in each. Hence the Act of which we are
|
|

TE WANANGA.
now speaking being passed by our Government in
New Zealand.
This Act says that the number of the people shall
be taken in the month. of April, in the year 1878,
and in April, 1881, and that the census shall be taken
every succeeding five years from the last given date.
The 25th clause of this Act status that the
Governor shall, from time to time, decide how the
census of the Maori people shall be taken.
The European population of New Zealand are to
give all information oa the following points :—House
they live in, names of persons, married or single,
rank or profession, religion or denomination, educated
or not, extent of land owned or occupied, and bow
cultivated, what crops, what cattle owned by,
fowl, &c.
It is not a matter of slight moment that the popu-
lation of any country should be known to those who
arc entrusted by the people to guide the nation.
Agriculture, commerce, and the teaching of all that
knowledge which, exalts a people are concerned iu
the information given by the census papers. The
health and happiness of the people are all to be guided
by the knowledge which, those papers give ; hence we
say that it is a duty the Maori tribes owe to them
selves, that they should at once awake from their
Maori dislike tu have themselves, their lands, cattle,
and occupations known to the whole world We know
that the old proverb used by a stranger when he asks
the name of any person, " I ask because of a want to
know your ancestors," (He kaha ui te kaha) is still
all powerful in the Maori mind, and acts as a preven-
tative to any knowledge of the Maori numerically, but
we wish to see such old Maori ism cast aside. We
tell our people that they must give all infor-
mation asked of them by those appointed by
Government to obtain this information. We ask
how is the Government to know what to do for the
Maori people in n way that will be adequate to
the wants of the Maori tribes if the Government is
ignorant of the number of the people? How is the
Government to know the worth of any request inside
by the Maori people if they arc not aware of the
number from whom the request comes ? How is the
Government to know what laws would be best, or
most suited to the need of tao Maori people if they
are ignorant of the work, agricultural pursuits, or
commercial occupation of the Maori people. We say
it is the duty of each chief of u hapu, with the head
chief of the tribe, to give all the information asked
for by the Government. Not only so, but let all the
Maori tribes iu all New Zealand at once act on our
suggestion, and give the information required, which
act will show to the world that all our professions of
late to the effect that we will not only uphold the laws
of our New Zealand Parliament but also those of our
noble and righteous Queen Victoria.
The Queen of England has not yet seen a list of the
tribes of her Maori people in New Zealand, hence we
say, let the Maori people do this work at once, so
that His Excellency the Governor may be able to say
to our Queen, " The Maori people are so happy in
your good laws that they comply with, them of their
own accord.''
He reihi hoehoe poti, e kiia ana kia tu a te 3O o
Maehe, a ki te mea ka hoea nga poti pata weera a
nga Maori i taua whakataetae mo te poti tere, penei
kia £5 mo te poti tino tere. Nei ake nga korero o
aua reihi ka panuitia e matou.

Kua timata te mahi a te Pateha a Makee ki te
hanga mira huri paraoa ma nga iwi Maori o Rotorua.
A riri ana tetahi iwi Maori o reira, a mahia ana e tana
iwi i whakahe ra te whare mo te mira, a tu ana a
Ngatiwhakaue ki te tiaki i taua mira kei raima ano e
te iwi e whakahe ra. A kei te tatari nga Apiha
Kawanatanga ki le kupu a te Kawanatanga mo taua
mira.
TE KAWANATANGA.
E kiia ana (he tito kau pea ai) kua mea te Kawa-
natanga, ka panuitia e ratou nga korero i ia ra,
i ia ra, o nga mahi e mahia ana e te Kawanatanga.
Ko TE WANANGA nei e mea ana, ki te mea ka pono
aua korero nei, penei, ka mahia e matou etahi o ana
korero a te Kawanatanga, hei rongo korero e mohio
ai ano te iwi Maori ki aua mahi a te Kawanatanga.
He mea hoki na matou. ki te mea ka korerotia nga
mahi e mahia ana e te Kawanatanga i ia ra i ia ra,
penei, ma reira e kitea ai te taenga ranei, te korenga
ranei, o nga tini reta a nga iwi Maori e tuhituhi not
Id te Kawanatanga, a ma aua korero hoki a te Kawa-
natanga e mohiotia ai nga tikanga e kiia ana e to
Kawanatanga hei utu rao nga tono e tono nei nga iwi
Maori ki te Kawanatanga.
Ka pai ano kia kite, kite rongo tatou te iwi Maori i
nga tini tikanga mahi Kawanatanga, i kore nei hoki e
whakina i nga tau kua pahure nei. " Taku kahawai
ngako nui, to aroaro tahuri ke."

E tono ana a Ruhia kia tukua etahi onga kaipuke
manuwao a Take kia Kuhia. E mea atu ana a Take
e kore aia e pai, engari, me wawahi aua kaipuke kia
pakaru, ko te hoatu ma Kuhia te mea i he i a Take.
TE KUPU A RUHIA.
E ki ana a Ruhia, e pai ana kia kaua nga manuwao
a Take e tukua kia aia, otira, katia hoki a Take e
whakaae kia tukua aua kaipuke manuwao ma
Ingarangi.
INGARANGI.
E kii ana te Kawanatanga a Te Kuini o Ingarangi,
e kore nia e whakaae kia whakaotia noatia nga tikanga
o te korero rongo-mau a Ruhia raua ko Take, kia
rongo ra ano, a, kia whakaae ano hoki te Kawanatanga
o Ingarangi ki aua tikanga rongo-mau, katahi ra ano
a Ingarangi ka mea, kua oti tika taua rongo-mau.
TE KAWANATANGA A TE KUINI.
E kiia ana, kua hokona e te Kawanatanga o Te
Kuini nga noiho e rua-tekau mano. He hoiho pea
aua kuri mo te wa e kino ai pea a Kuhia, mo te kupu
whakahe atu a Ingarangi mona e patu kino nei i a
Take, kua noho aua hoiho mo te mahi a te ope taua a
Ingarangi mo Ruhia,

by the Hon. Mr. Sheehan and the Hon. Hoani Nahe,
arrived at Featherston, where every room and every
bed were more than, fully occupied on account of the
races. A more inconvenient week, and as it happened,
a less convenient day than Friday, could not have
been chosen. But when. Sir George Grey telegraphed
from New Plymouth his intentions, he was not aware
that the annual race meeting of the Wairarapa Jockey
Club would come off at the very time his meeting
with the Wairarapa Natives was appointed to be held.
Owing to the non-arrival of Mr. Sheehan, Sir George
Grey was detained in Wellington until Friday, though.
he had been expected by the Natives on Tuesday,
who persisted in expecting his arrival until convinced
by the logic of facts of their error. There being no
suitable accommodation for Sir George Grey at
Featherston, he was kindly driven to the seat of Mr.
C. Pharazyn at Longwood, where he was hospitably
received, and found excellent accommodation.
Early on Saturday morning a coach, with six greys
bearing flags, and conveying several Maori chiefs,
proceeded, under the skilful guidance of Mr. James
Macara, to Featherston, and returned to Greytown
with the distinguished visitors about 10 o'clock, from
whence they at once went on to Papawai, a Native
village about two miles distant, accompanied by a
number of settlers in carriages or on horseback A
triumphal arch, had been erected at the gateway lead-
ing to the residence of the principal Native chief
Manihera ; and flags, banners, and streamers decorated.
the house and the other buildings in its vicinity. On
arriving at their destination several hundred Natives,
consisting of men, women, and children, raised three
hearty cheers for Sir George Grey, who was evidently
much moved by the cordiality of his reception.
Breakfast was provided in a large room, which had
been handsomely papered, furnished, and decorated
expressly for the occasion, the whole arrangements re-
flecting credit oh Mrs. Burch, who did the honors of
hostess for the day, and to whom they had been
specially confided.
Among the chiefs present, besides Manihera, we
noticed Henare Tomoana, Te Retimana Te Koru
Tikawenga, Hikawera, Wi Waka (the Hauhau)
Karauria, Raniera, and Ngauere, the latter of whom
was the only one dressed in Native costume, and ever
he wore a black Parisian hat adorned with white
feathers. Chairs were provided for Sir G. Grey am
suite on the verandah, while the Natives, men am
women, some squatting on the ground and other
standing, formed a crescent in front. The speeches
made were chiefly of a congratulatory nature; they
all expressed satisfaction at the Premier's presence

and their gratification in being afforded the oppor-
tunity of once more seeing him in their midst. The
only favor they asked was that H school should be
established for their children.
Sir George made, in Maori, an appropriate reply,
and after thanking them for the cordiality of their
welcome, and referring to his former visit, now many
years ago, he expressed "his gratification on hearing
that they desired to have their children educated after
the manner of Europeans, and promised that a school
should be at once provided.
Manihera then stood up, and expressed his confi-
dence in Sir George Grey, and his pleasure iu seeing
him at his house. Walking backwards and forwards
in the Maori manner, he sung a song of welcome,
most of the Natives joining in chorus, and again
stamping his foot on the ground he said, " I will not
forget the old times, I will welcome Kawana Grey."
Three cheers followed this sentiment from most of
the Natives present. Manihera concluded his speech
by the gratifying assurance that the Wairarapa
Natives would give up the Lake to Sir George Grey
to arrange for the good of both races and of all parties
interested.
The Hon. Mr. Sheehan then addressed the meeting
in Maori. He explained to them that Sir George
Grey would have to leave Wellington on Monday for
the South Island, but that he himself would return to
them, and endeavor to arrange any little matters of
dispute between them and the Government or the
Europeans, more especially with regard to a right of
road at Te Ore Ore, and the site of the bridge near
Tupurupuru. He considered the offer they hud made
to leave the Wairarapa Lake question in the hands of
the Premier the best course they could take under
the circumstances.
Ngatuere, who remained, at the commencement of
his address, seated, spoke strongly against. Sir George
Grey leaving them so soon. They had come long
distances in order to see him, and if he went away
now the Natives would go away too, and it would be
difficult to get another meeting.
Sir George Grey expressed his regret ut having to
leave them so soon. He did not know anything about
the races when he consented to pay them a visit, or
be would have chosen a more favorable time. It had
been long in his mind to pay them a visit, but owing
io the absence, at the beginning of the week, of Mr.
Sheehan up the West Coast, and to his arrangements
to visit the Middle Island, he could not possibly pro-
long his stay now, but might do so by-and-bye. He
reminded them, that in the days of their fathers, the
daughter of a great chief was in danger of being torn
to pieces in consequence of the number and ardour of
her admirers, who came from great distances in order
to capture their prize ; and that he found himself in
the position of the Maori maiden, being wanted in so
many places at the same time.
Loud laughter followed this allusion, and after
shaking hands with all the chiefs, their wives, and
well-dressed and exceedingly well-conducted daughters,
Sir George Grey hurried to the coach which had been ]
some time waiting for him, Mr. Sheehan promising
to return on Monday.—Wairarapa Standard.

CORRESPONDENCE.
To THE EDITOR OF THE WANANGA,
Salutations to you, my friend ; I greet you from a distance.
Friend, salutations to you, the person who issues TE
WANANGA, which is sent over all the many rivers. I wish.
you to answer the following questions :—
1. 1s it right that each of 10 whose names are in one
Crown Grant to register, that each shall have a vote for a
member of Parliament ?
2. Certain land has been passed through the Native Lands
Court, and it has been made inalienable. We wish to leave
this land for seven, or more years.
If yon like, publish your answer in TE WANANGA.
Maruata, Whangarei, 13th. February, 1878.
Answers to Questions.
1. It has been held that if each of the ten grantees has an
interest of more value than £50, or if the whole block of land
in the Crown Grant is worth more than £500, each is entitled.
to a vote : but he mast first cause his name to be registered.
according to law. If there are eight grantees, the block of
land must be worth over £400 ; if six, it must be worth ever
£300 : so that in all cases each man's share must be at least
£50.

te Patunga o Rakaiwharehuka wahi o Tikitiki, Waiapu, na i
te tau 1876 ka tu te Komiti mo taua whenua, a kitea ana to
