TE WAKA MAORI O NIU TIRANI.
HE KUPU WHAKAHOKI KI NGA HOA TUHI MAI.
——————«——————
I taia i te Waka Nama 5 te korero a RANIERA ERIHANA, o
Otakou, i mea ra ia i tae ia ki tetahi hui Pakeha i te po i Ta-
nitini, a i rongo ia ki tetahi kupu a te TAUTA roia i reira, i kiia,
" Te mea pai, me tango nga whenua a nga Maori. " I ki hoki
a Raniera i a ia te nupepa e takoto ana o taua korero a te Tauta.
Otira, kua kite a Raniera i te he o tana korero inaianei; kua
tukua mai hoki e ia tetahi wahi o taua nupepa ki a matou, ki-
tea ana e matou i penei te te kupu a te Tauta, " He mea he
rawa te tango i nga whenua katoa a nga Maori"—ara mo nga
whenua o Waikato tana korero. E pouri ana a Raniera ki tona
whakapae ki a te Tauta, a e mea ana kia murua tona hara e te
Tauta, no te mea he pohehe ia taua mea. Tenei nga moni a
Raniera kua tae mai.
HONE PIHAMA KETU, o Nukumaru, Waitotara. Me tuku
mai e koe te pauna kotahi ka hoatu ai te nupepa.
E korerotia mai ana ki a matou ko etahi tangata tupua-a-
whiro e tangohia mai ana ki a ratou i nga Potapeta nga Waka
kua utua e etahi atu tangata. Na, ko tenei tu he e whiua ki-
notia ana e te Ture, pera ano me etahi mahi whanako. E kore
e penei he mahi kuare a te tangata ngakau rangatira. He ahua
ke, he ahua ke, to nga whanako; te mea wetiweti rawa to te
mea e mahi huna ana i tona mahi.
He nui enei korero me nga reta e kore e o, me waiho marire.
He kapi rawa no te nupepa nei i nga korero o te Paremete i
tenei wa i kore ai e o nga reta maha e tae mai ana ki a matou.
He nui nga tangata e ki mai ana kia panuitia atu e matou nga
korero o etahi motu. Ta matou kupu whakahoki, kia watea
matou i nga mahi a te Paremete, hei reira matou panui ai i etahi
korero o tawhiti e pai ai, e ahuareka ai hoki, o matou hoa
Maori.
He mea atu tenei ki nga tangata tuhituhi mai, me utu e ra-
tou te meera mo te mauranga mai o a ratou reta, ara me wha-
kapiri nga upoko Kuini e rite ana, ka kore, e kore e tangohia e
matou aua reta.
Me tuhituhi atu i te meera i muri nei te whakaaturanga o
nga moni e tae mai ana mo te nupepa noi.
Ko nga tangata o te takiwa o Waipiro e hiahia ana ki te tango
i tenei nupepa, me haere ki a J. A. Hatingi, Pakeha o reira.
Ko ia to matou hoa, mana e whakaatu nga tikanga katoa ki a
ratou, mana hoki e hoatu nga nupepa ki nga tangata.
NOTICES AND ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS.
——————»—————\_
In the Waka, No. 5, a communication appears from
RANIERA ERIHANA, of Otago, to the effect that he was pre-
sent one night at a public meeting in Dunedin when Mr.
STOUT made a speech wherein he said that, " The correct
thing would be to take the Maori lands, " and that he
(Raniera) had in his possession a copy of a paper containing
that speech of Mr. Stout's. Raniera has since discovered his
mistake, and has sent us a slip cut from the paper in question,
from which we find that Mr. Stout, speaking of confiscated
lands in the Waikato, said, " It would be an improper thing to
take all land away from the Maories. " Raniera is sorry for
the mistake which he has made, and hopes Mr. Stout frill for-
give him, as it was done in ignorance. The money from
Raniera has been duly received.
HONE PIHAMA KETU, of Nukumaru, Waitotara, must remit
£1, and he will receive the Waka.
A number of complaints have reached us that certain un-
principled Natives are in the habit of obtaining from the Post
Offices, and appropriating to themselves, copies of the Waka
which arc addressed to other persons who have paid their sub-
scriptions. Such offences are severely punishable by law, us any
other theft is. No man of honorable principles would stoop to
commit actions so mean. There are thieves and thieves, but
the meanest and most despicable of thieves is the hidden thief.
A number of letters and other communications received must
stand over.
At present our space is so much occupied with reports of pro-
ceedings in Parliament that we cannot find space to publish
the numerous letters which we are receiving. Very many of
our correspondents ask us to publish information from and
about other parts of the world. We answer that when we get
through the Parliamentary business, we shall give them a
variety of interesting matter which will be instructive and
pleasing to them.
We beg to inform our correspondents that in future we
shall not receive letters for publication unless the postage be
prepaid.
Henceforth we shall acknowledge privately by mail subscrip-
ions received.
Subscribers and others intending to become so in the neigh-
bourhood of Waipiro Bay, can have their papers, and obtain ail
information respecting advertising, &c., on application to our
agent there, J. A. Harding, Esq.

te Ture Hoto Whenua Maori a te Kawanatanga, 1877 (ka
whakahuatia raro iho nei ko " taua Ture") na, ko taua

TE WAKA MAORI O NIU TIRANI.
i nga tangata katoa e poka noa ana te noho te haere
noa ranei ki runga ki ana tu whenua, haunga nga tangata
Maori no ratou te whenua; ko taua mana a te Kuini me ona
tangata ka rite tonu te nui ki te mana e tukua ana ki a ratou e
nga ture e tu nei mo te poka noa a te tangata ki era atu tino
whenua a te Kuini.
3. Timata i te wa e tu ai tenei Ture, tuku tonu ki nga ra
katoa i muri iho, e kore e mana he panuitanga mo te whakare-
renga a te Kuini i te korero mo tetahi whenua Maori kua
Kahititia, ki ta te Ture e mea nei, ka pa ra ano Ma pahemo
etahi ra e toru te kau i muri iho o te perehitanga o te Kahiti
i taua panuitanga whakarere i taua whenua, katahi ka mana, ka
watea hoki te whenua.
Na, ko tetahi tenei o nga mahi i puta mai i muri
nei i roto i te tikanga whakahaere a tenei Kawana-
tanga mo te taha Maori—he tikanga ia i kiia mana
e ora ai nga mate katoa o te iwi Maori, mana, ma
taua tikanga, e tau ai ki runga ki nga Maori etahi
tika rite tonu ki nga tika me nga mana e mau nei ki
te iwi Pakeha e noho ana i enei motu. Engari kei
te whakahaere mohio, kei te tini o te raweketanga, te
taparere atu ai ki te Kawanatanga anake i runga i
tenei Ture nga tikanga katoa mo nga whenua Maori.
Heoi he tikanga ma ratou, me hoatu he moni paku
pea ki tetahi tangata whakapau moni e ki ana nona
te whenua—ahakoa tika tona take, hee ranei—heoi,
kua " whai tikanga " ratou ki runga ki taua whenua,
kua araitia etahi tangata hoko katoa, kua kore e tu-
kua nga tangata tika ki taua whenua kia hoko ki ta
ratou e pai ai, e whakaaro ai he tika. Na, ko te-
tahi tenei o nga " tika " e homai ana e tenei Kawa-
natanga ki te iwi Maori! Tena e pehea te iwi Pa-
keha me he mea ka homai tetahi tika penei te nui, te
pai, ki a ratou ? Tera ratou e whakawhetai—aua.
Otira kaore, ko tenei tika e waiho marire ana mo
te iwi Maori, te iwi a arohaina nuitia ana e Ta Hori
Kerei raua ko te Hihana, e ki nei raua e tumanako
tonu ana raua ki te oranga nui mo taua iwi.
Tera ano pea he mea tika mo te koroni kia araitia
atu nga tangata apo whenua, tangata hokohoko
haere i te whenua, kia kawa e rere mai ki te whaka-
raru i nga hoko tika a te Kawanatanga, nga hoko e
whakahaerea ana ki nga tangata e tino tika ana ki
runga ki te whenua; engari he maha nga ara e taea
ai nga mahi hoko tinihanga i runga i tenei Ture. I
runga i tenei Ture e ahei ano nga Komihana Ka-
wanatanga te homai i etahi moni iti ki etahi tangata
kaore e tika ana ki runga ki te whenua, a ma reira
ka whai tikanga te Kawanatanga ki runga ki taua
whenua, ka raru ai hoki nga tangata no ratou ake
te whenua. Tetahi, e ai ki te korero a tetahi ta-
ngata i taia i roto i te Taima, nupepa o Po Neke,
ara, —
Ka whakaaria pea te titanga ki nga hoa o te Kawanatanga—
te hunga apo whenua. Na, ka mohio " nga mea mohio, " ka
araitia atu nga tangata o waho e tauwhainga ana ki a ratou ki
te hoko, katahi ka mahi tonu ratou nga mohio. Muri iho, ka
kite pea te Kawanatanga kua he tana mahi (ta te Kawana-
tanga) 8 te timatanga mai ra ano, a ka whakarere i tona
tate ki te whenua. Tona mutunga iho: He rawa nui mo
nga hoa o te Kawanatanga, he raru mo nga Maori.
I penei nga korero o te nupepa Kawanatanga,
te Niu Tirana, i te timatanga o te Paremete, ara, —
Katahi rawa ano ka mohio nga Maori kua tu tetahi
Kawanatanga e aroha ana ki a ratou, e mohio ana ki nga mea
tika mo ratou, a ka mahi tika tonu ki a ratou. Kua hangai
tonu te kii ki a ratou, me whakarongo pu ratou ki te Ture, a e
unlawful occupation of, and intrusion or trespass upon any such
lands, by any person other than such aboriginal owners as
aforesaid, as her Majesty or any person on her behalf has
under any existing law in respect of the unlawful occupation
of, and intrusion or trespass upon lands of the Crown by any
person.
3. From and after the passing of this Act, no notification of
her Majesty's relinquishment of any negotiations in respect of
any Native land gazetted, as in the said Act is provided, shall
have any force or effect before the expiration of thirty days
after the publication of the Gazette containing such last-men-
tioned notification.
The above is one of the latest productions of the
Native policy of the present Government—a policy
which the Natives were led to believe would remove
all their grievances, and confer upon them privileges
in all respects equal to those enjoyed by the Pakeha
race in these islands. But by a little clever manage-
ment this Act will give the Government an entire
monopoly of Native Lands. They have only to ad-
vance a small sum of money to any scheming spend-
thrift who may put in a claim to the ownership of a
block of land—rightfully or wrongfully—and forth-
with they will obtain a " right of pre-emption"
shutting out all other competitors, and preventing
the rightful owners of the land from dealing with
their own property as they may think most to their
advantage. And this is one of the " privileges " con-
ferred upon the Natives by the policy of the present
Government! What would the Pakehas say it so
great and glorious a privilege were to be conferred
upon them ? No doubt they would be thankful.
But no, it is a privilege reserved for the Native
people, for whom Sir George Grey and Mr. Sheehan
entertain so great an affection, and for whose wel-
fare they profess so great an anxiety.
In the interests of the colony it may be proper and
necessary to prevent private speculators and land-
jobbers from interfering with bona fide land transac-
tions of the Government being carried on with the
rightful owners of the land; but this Act, as it
stands, allows of jobbery and trickery in many ways.
The Government Commissioners may advance small
sums of money to the wrong parties, thereby giving
the Government a claim upon the land to the detri-
ment of the rightful owners. Or, as a writer in the
Times says, —
The friends of the Government—the land-sharking com-
pany, etc. —may be let into the secret. The " knowing ones, "
freed from competition in the open market, may take their
chance. Then the Government may suddenly find that its
action has been illegal from the beginning, and may not attempt
to enforce its claims. Result: Fortunes for the friends of the
Government and the Natives victimized.
The Government paper, the New Zealander, said,
at the beginning of the session, —
The Natives feel that, almost for the first time, there is in
power a Government which sympathises with them, under-
stands their requirements, and will deal perfectly fairly and
justly with them. They have been told plainly that they must

kore e mahia tetahi mahi he ki a ratou e kore hoki ratou e
tukua kia mahi he ana. Na, kua manaaki ratou i tenei tu
Kawanatanga e korero nei, e mahi nei hoki, i tenei ara tika
rawa, hangai rawa. E mohio ana ratou kaore rawa he tangata
o taua Kawanatanga kua pa ki nga mahi apo whenua.
Na, he korero whakarihariha rawa taua tu korero.
E kitea ana, i runga i nga mahi katoa a tenei
Kawanatanga, to ratou hiahia kia taea e ratou tetahi
mana nui rawa atu, kaore hoki he whakaaro mo te
mana me te rangatiratanga o te tangata—ahakoa
Maori, Pakeha ranei. Ta ratou Pire Pootitanga
hoki i whakanuia noatia nei e ratou te korero, i ki
atu ai ki nga Maori ma taua Pire e tau ai he tika nui
rawa ki runga ki a ratou, he pehea ia tona ahua ?—
hua atu he waiho kau i nga Maori hei rakau patu i
nga pooti a nga Pakeha katoa i te motu nei, hei take
hoki e tupu ai he mauahara i roto i nga iwi e rua.
Me tenei Ture Hoko Whenua hoki, he ara ia e
aheitia ai etahi mahi tinihanga rawa ki te hoko o te
whenua, e whai mana ai hoki te Kawanatanga ki te
tiaki i o ratou hoa i runga i aua tu mahi, ki te
hiahia ratou kia pera.
I turia he korerotanga i te Paremete i runga i
tetahi kupu i puaki i a te Tatana, a i kiia i taua
korerotanga kua wha miriona eka e korerotia ana e
te Kawanatanga mo te hoko i Ienei wa kei tenei
motu ki raro nei. Na, ko te tikanga o tenei, he mea
kua araitia atu ena whenua katoa kia kore te tangata
ke e tata atu ki te hoko, ki te aha ranei, ara, ki te
kore e pai te Kawanatanga, I kiia hoki i roto i te
Whare ko etahi moni iti nei, he £30 nei, kua hoatu
(ki te tangata kotahi pea) hei taunaha ki runga ki
tetahi wahi whenua e toru te kau mano eka te rahi,
a. kiia ana taua whenua he whenua e korerotia ana
mo te hoko. Tetahi mea i whakaaro ai te ngakau,
ko te korenga e panui atu i enei mahi kia rongo ai
nga Maori. I kiia kua panuitia ki te Kahiti
(Pakeha) kia rongo te motu, engari kihai i whakaaro
he mea tika kia taia ki te reo Maori enei mahi nui e
pa ana ki etahi Maori tokomaha. Ka kitea i taua
Pire e mau nei i runga ake, e mea ana ko nga whenua
katoa e panuitia ana ki te Kahiti i raro i te mana o
te Ture o 1877, ka kiia he mea na te Kuini ake ano
aua whenua, haunga nga take Maori, ko ena ano e
waiho.
Na, me ata titiro o matou hoa Maori ki tenei; ko
tetahi ia o nga hua o nga tikanga hou o tenei takiwa.
Ki te mea ka penei te mahi i te ra e whiti ana, ka
pehea koia te mahi i te hinapouritanga ?

TE WHARE I RARO.
TAITEI, 22ND O AKUHATA, 1878.
PIRE POOTITANGA.
TAIAROA. —He kupu ano taku mo tenei Pire. E
kore au e korero mo ona tikanga katoa. Taku e
korero ai ko te tekiona te 18 o taua Pire. He
tekiona pai ia ki taku whakaaro mo nga Maori. Kua
maha nga tau i tohe ai nga Maori kia whakanuia he
mema mo ratou ki roto ki tenei Whare. Te lake i
respect and obey the law, and that, while no unfair advantage
will be taken of them, they will not be allowed to take any.
(The italics are our own. ) They have learned to respect the
Government which talks and acts in this decided, straightfor-
ward mariner. They know that none of its members are
tainted with land-jobbing, &c.
Such rubbish is absolutely sickening. Every act of
the present Government points to a desire to obtain
despotic power, regardless of the rights and liberties
of the people—Maori or Pakeha. Their much-
vaunted Electoral Bill, which the Maories were told
would confer unheard of privileges upon them, was
simply an attempt to use the Natives as tools to
swamp the Pakeha votes throughout the colony,
thereby creating ill-feeling between the races. Now
again, this Land Purchase Act opens up a road for
the most flagrant land-jobbery operations, and gives
the Government power to protect their friends
therein, if they desire to do so.
It transpired during a debate in the House, on a
motion made by Mr. Sutton, that the Government is
pleased to consider that it has at the present moment
only four millions of acres of Native land in the
North Island under negotiation; and this means
that all these lands are shut up from dealings with
any other parties whatsoever, except with the consent
of the Government. It was also shown in debate
that in several cases, sums of money, sums of a
paltry £30 only, had been advanced, (probably to a
single Native), and in consequence of such advance
a block of land, 30, 000 acres in extent, is claimed as
tinder negotiation. It is very remarkable that no
notice of these peculiar transactions have been sent
to the Native people. It was admitted that, although
notices had been sent through the country by the
Gazette, it had not been considered necessary that
these important documents, affecting as they do a
very large number of Natives, should be published
in Maori. As will be seen on reading the above copy
of the Bill, it provides that all lands gazetted under
the Act of 1877 shall be regarded as the absolute
property of the Crown, except as regards Native
rights.
We call the special attention of our Native
readers to this, as one of the results of the new
order of things. If this be done in the light of the
sun, what may be done in the dark night ?

ELECTORAL BILL.
Mr. TAIAROA. —Sir, I have something to say about
this Bill. I am not going into all its details. What
I would refer to is clause 18 of the honorable
member's Bill. This clause refers to the Maories.

concerned. The Maories have for many years been

whakahe ai nga Pakeha, he rua no nga pooti i nga
Maori. I mahara au i roto i nga tau katoa i tohea ai
tenei mea, ko te papa tenei i whakahengia ai, ko te
rua pooti i nga Maori. He mema au i pootitia e nga
Maori o te Waipounamu—i pootitia e nga Maori.
Ko te mema mo Waikouaiti i pootitia e nga Pakeha
tetahi, e nga Maori tetahi na ratou nei au i pooti mai.
He pena hoki te mema mo Kaiapoi. Ko nga Maori
i rehitatia i pooti ratou mo te mema mo Kaiapoi; ko
etahi o aua Maori i pooti moku. E kotahi tonu ana
te tino mema mo nga Maori, ko au; ko nga
mema i korero ai au, he hawhe mema ratou
no nga Maori. I rongo hoki au i pooti nga
Maori o Maapara (Kaikoura me Wairau) mo tetahi
o nga mema Pakeha o tenei Whare. No konei au
ka whakapai ki nga korero mo nga pooti rua a nga
Maori. Kua huihui nga Maori, a kua oti i a ratou
ko te mea tika me pooti kotahi mo nga Maori;
haunga nga Maori kua hoko whenua i te Kawana-
tanga, a e utu reiti aua, e pai aua kia whai pooti
ratou; engari me whakanui kia nui atu he mema
Maori. He whenua ano ta etahi Maori na ratou ake
ano; ko etahi i hoko whenua i te Kawanatanga, a e
utu reiti ana mo aua whenua. He nui taku hiahia
kia nui ake he mema Maori, a ko te ara tenei e taea
ai tena. Ko etahi mema i whakahe ki nga mema
Maori katoa, i mea kia kore rawa he mema Maori ki
te Whare nei. I rongo au ki tenei i roto i te Whare,
i waho hoki. E whakahe ana ahau ki taua korero e
kiia nei kia kore he mema Maori i tenei Whare.
He mea tika rawa ki taku mahara kia haere
mai nga Maori ki roto ki tenei Whare
korero ai i o ratou mate i te aroaro o nga mema o te
motu. Tera ano tetahi take e tika ai kia whakanuia
nga mema Maori kia tokomaha ai. He maha nga
iwi o tenei motu, o tera motu hoki, kaore rawa e
whai reo ana ki roto ki tenei Whare. E kore e ahei
nga mema Maori o te Whare nei te haere atu ki roto
ki aua iwi ui ai ki o ratou mate, a ko aua iwi kaore e
mohio ana me he mea e ai ana he Paremete kei Niu
Tirani, kaore ranei—kaore ratou e mohio ana me he
mea he ture mo o ratou takiwa enei ture e mahia nei
i konei, kaore ranei. Heoi ta ratou e mohio ana ko
nga iwi e whai mema ana, e hanga ture ana i konei
mo aua iwi. Kaore ratou e mohio ana i mahia nga
ture mo te katoa. E mea ana ahau he tika kia ra-
ngona te reo o aua iwi ki konei, kia korerotia hoki i
roto i tenei Whare o ratou mea e hiahiatia ana.
Tera atu etahi tikanga o tenei Pire e tika ai au te
korero, otira kati. Engari, kotahi taku e korero ai,
ara e pouri ana au ki te tikanga pooti wahine. Ko
wai anake ena wahine e korerotia nei ? E kore au e
pai kia haere mai nga wahine ki konei ki te hanga
ture. Kati he mana ma ratou ko te pooti i nga tane
kia haere mai ki konei hei reo mo ratou. E kore
pea e pai nga mema kia noho he wahine i o ratou
taha korerorero ai i roto i tenei Whare. Ki te mea
ka pootitia tetahi wahine marena, a ka mahue atu i a
ia tona tane i te kainga, akuanei ka puta ke nga
whakaaro o nga tangata tokorua e noho ana i ona
taha. No konei ka mahara au tera e araitia katoatia
nga mahi o te Whare nei.
TE MATAKAMERE. —He kupu tenei mo te mahi pooti
Maori. £ mahara ana ahau he iwi te iwi Maori kua
kitea te maramatanga me te mohio o tona whakaaro,
me tona hiahia ki te noho i runga i te pai me te tika, no
konei e tika ana kia whai mema ratou ki te Paremete
mo o ratou takiwa, katoa kaore e whawhai ana ki a
striving for an increase of representation in this
House. The objection of the Europeans has been
that the Maories have a dual vote. During the years
this contention was going on I thought that possibly
the objection was raised on the basis that the Maories
had two votes. I am a member elected by the Maories
of the Middle Island—elected by the Maories. The
honorable member for Waikouaiti has been elected
partly by Europeans and partly by some of those
Maories who voted for me. That refers also to the
honorable member for Kaiapoi. Those Maories who
were registered voted for the honorable member
for Kaiapoi, and some of these Maories voted forme.
As far as I am concerned the Maories only return
one member, and I consider the gentlemen I have
referred to are only half members as far as the
Maories are concerned. I have also heard that the
Maories of Maryborough voted for a European mem-
ber of this House. That is why I approve of the
statements that have been made with regard to the
dual voting of the Maories. The Maories have met,
and they have come to the conclusion that it would
be better that there should be one vote, with this ex-
ception: that Maories who have purchased land
from the Government and are ratepayers should be
allowed to have a vote; but that the Maori members
should be increased. Some Maories have land in
their own right, and others have purchased land
from the Government, and are paying rates for the
same. My great desire has been to see the number
of Maori representatives increased, and this is the
way to do it. Some members have objected alto-
gether to Maories sitting in this House. I have
heard it in the House, and Lave beard it outside. I
object to these statements that are made, that there
should be no Maori representation in the House. I
think it is a very proper thing that Maories should
be allowed to come into this House and state their
grievances before the representatives of the country.
There is another reason why the number of Maori
representatives should be increased. There are
many tribes in this Island and in the other Island
who are not represented here. The Maori members
of the House are not able to go amongst them and
ascertain what their grievances and wants are, and
these unrepresented Maories are not able to ascer-
tain whether there is a Parliament in New Zealand
or not—they do not know whether the laws that are
passed here refer to their districts or not. They
only understand that the persons who are repre-
sented have the laws passed that are applicable to
them. They do not know that the laws apply to
every one. I think the voice of those people should
be heard here, and that their desires should be made
known in this House. There are other matters in
this Bill to which I might refer, but I shall not. I
will merely say that I regret about this matter of
the female suffrage. What females are these that
are referred to ? I object to women coining here
and making laws. Let their power be confined to
electing men to come to this House to represent them.
I do not think honorable members would care about
women sitting beside them and talking in this House.
Supposing that a married woman be elected as a re-
presentative, and leave her husband at home, she
will probably lead Ihe thoughts of the two gentlemen
between whom she sits astray. Therefore I think
the whole proceedings of the House would be shut
up.
Mr. MONTGOMERY. —I come now to the Maori re-
presentation. I say at once that, in my opinion,
from the high qualities which the Maori race have
displayed, their intelligence and love of order, they
should have representatives in Parliament for all
districts not in rebellion against the Queen, ia pro-

te Kuini, kia rite ai hoki ki ta etahi tangata katoa o te
Kuini. Engari e kore rawa au e pai kia whakanuia
he mema, katahi; ko te rua pooti, ka rua. Me
whakaneke ake a ratou mema kia tae ki te ono ki te
whitu, engari kaua e hui ki tena he mahi ma ratou
ki te pooti mema Pakeha. E pena tonu ana taka
whakahe ki te rua pooti ki nga Maori, me taku
whakahe ki te ono ki te whitu pooti a te Pakeha i
nga takiwa e ono e whitu.
TE PAIKA. —E ruarua noa aku kupu mo tenei Pire.
Te tuatahi, e mea ana ahau kia titiro te Whare ki
te tikanga o te korero a te mema Maori. Taku
kupu; e pai ana kia hohoro te whakarere atu te
ingoa " Maori " nei i o tatou ture. E tumanako ana
ahau kia kotahi tonu ano turanga mo tatou katoa ko
nga Maori—kaua ratou e hira ake i te nuinga katoa-
tanga o te Pakeha, kaua e hoki iho ki raro. Ki te
mea ka kiia he iwi kotahi tatou—a, e pai ana ahau
kia kotahi—na, e pai ana kia. hohoro te whakakotahi
i te turanga, me te ingoa " Maori" nei me whakarere
i roto i o tatou ture; he mea tika ia mo ratou, mo
tatou ano hoki. Kaua e nui ake o tatou mana me o
tatou tika i to nga Maori. E kore pea ena tikanga
e taea rawatia i tenei wa. Engari, ka pai tonu au
me he mea i pena he tikanga (ara he Pakeha katoa. )
Tena kai te rite te nui o te hiahia o nga Maori ki
toku hiahia kia pena he tikanga; a, ka tatu o ratou
ngakau me he mea ka whakakotahitia he turanga mo
tatou katoa.
TE TIWENE. —I whakaaro ia ki te mea ka whai
mema motuhake nga Maori mo ratou, kaua ratou e
whai pooti i runga i te utu reiti.
TAWITI. —E te Tumuaki; E tautoko ana ahau i
taua wahi a te Pire a te Kawanatanga i whakama-
ramatia ki a matou, nga mema Maori. I huihui ma-
tou ki te hurihuri i nga tono a o matou iwi ki a ma-
tou; a he rangatira ke etahi i uru mai ki taua hui a
matou. E rite pu ana te Piri a te Kawanatanga ki
ta matou i kite ai i to matou hui. E mahara ana
matou, he tika kia motu ke he pooti mo nga Maori.
Ehara i te mea i puta i a matou, anake tenei kupu
pooti motu ke. He mea i rongo ai matou, he mea
korero mai na nga Pakeha o waho kia motu ke nga
pooti Maori. He mea whakangawari tenei na ma-
tou, kaore nei matou e tohe kia whai pooti nga
tangata kua tae ki te rua te kau ma tahi
tau, kua rehitatia ano hoki. E kiia ana kia
hoatu he pooti ki nga tangata kua ono tonu
o ratou marama ki te koroni; engari ko nga
tangata o Niu Tirani, no o ratou whanautanga ano
i noho ai ki konei, a e mea ana me rehita rawa e whi-
whi ai ratou, ki te pooti. (He mea rehita hoki nga
Pakeha katoa, ahakoa no tona whanautanga i noho
ai i konei). E tautoko ana matou i te wahi o taua
Pire i kitea e matou, ko te wahi kaore matou i kite e
kore matou e korero. Tera pea matou e korero me
he mea e mohio ana matou ki tetahi atu wahi o taua
Pire. He kupu tenei naku ki te Whare, kua nui
rawa to matou hiahia kia nui atu he mema Maori.
Kua nui te tohe a Taiaroa ki te Whare mo taua
mea, a kai te hiahia tonu matou kia whakaaetia taua
mea. He maha nga Kawanatanga i whakaae ki taua
mea, a he tono tenei ki tenei Kawanatanga kia wha-
kaaetia ano hoki. Me he mea kai te whakahe te-
tahi mema, me ki mai ia i tenei tau ano; me whaka-
kite mai i nga take o tona whakahe ki nga Maori,
me whakaatu mai te tikanga e kore ai e pai kia uru
mai ratou ki konei. E mea ana matou he potiki nga
Maori na Kuini Wikitoria. He tino tamariki ratou
na te Kuini. • Ahakoa, hara etahi o ratou, kua whiua
e o ratou whaea, kua hoki mai ratou ki a ia. E whai
ana o matou whakaaro ki nga tono i tukua mai ki a
matou e o matou iwi, ara Kia kotahi pooti ki te
Maori, kia kotahi pooti ki te Pakeha, no te mea
portion to the other subjects of Her Majesty.. But I
object altogether to their having an increased num-
ber of members and having a plural vote. Increase
the number of their representatives in the House to
six or seven, but do not let them have a vote for
European members as well. I object as much to a
Maori having two votes as I object to a rich man
having six or seven votes in different electoral dis-
tricts.
Mr. PYKE. —I have but a very few remarks to
make about this Bill. In the first place, I wish to
draw "the attention of the House to the question
spoken to by a Maori member. I say this: that the
sooner we eliminate the word " Maori" from our
Acts the better. I am anxious to see the Maories
placed upon the same footing as ourselves—no better
and no worse than the whole European population.
If we are to be one people—which I trust we shall
be—tae sooner they are placed on the same footing,
and the word " Maori" eliminated from our Statutes,
the belter it will he for them, and the better
it will be for us. We should have no more
powers and privileges—no more and no less—than
the Maories enjoy. I suppose it is rather too soon
to expect to effect that reform at the present time.
I wish it could be done. Depend upon it, the
Maories wish it as strongly as I can possibly wish it
myself, and they would be more satisfied if they were
made equal in all respects with ourselves.
Mr. STEVENS thought, if the Maories were to have
a special vote, they should not have a vote as rate-
payers.
Mr. TAWITI. —Mr. Speaker, I support that portion
of the Government Bill of which we, the Maori
members, have "been informed. We have had a
meeting to consider the requests referred to us by
our constituents, and we have been aided by other
chiefs who are not here. The Government Bill re-
presents exactly the conclusion at which we arrived
at our meeting. We think it right that the Maori
should have a separate vote. That separate vote
does not emanate from us alone. It ia from what
we have heard, and what has been told to us by
Europeans outside—that the Maories should only
have their own vote. We think that we are con-
ceding a point in not pressing that those who have
arrived at the age of twenty-one years and who are
registered should have a vote. It is proposed that
persons who have been only six months in the colony
should have a vote, but the New Zealanders, who
have been here all their lives, are compelled to be re-
gistered before they can vote. We support the por-
tion of the Bill which we have seen, but of the other
part, which we have not seen, we say nothing. We
might have something to say with regard to the rest
of the Bill if we had known what it was. Now I
say to the House that we are very desirous that the
number of Maori representatives should be increased.
The honorable member for the Southern Maori dis-
trict has been continually urging that upon the
House, and we are still anxious that it should be
done. Successive Governments have agreed to it,
and we ask the Government who are now silting on
those benches to agree to it also. If an honorable
member objects to an increase of the Maori repre-
sentation, let him say so this year; let him state what
his objections are against the Maories, and why they
should not be allowed to be here. We think that
the Maories are as the youngest child of Queen Vic-
toria. They are really children of Her Majesty.
Notwithstanding the mischief done by some oi them,
still they have been punished by their mother, and
have returned to her. Our views have been in the
direction of the requests referred to us by our

TE WAKA MAORI O NIU TIRANI.
ehara i te mea he iwi rua tatou; he tamariki tatou,
he tuakana he teina, he matua he tamaiti. Kua rite
to matou whakaaro kia waiho i nga Pakeha a ratou
pooti, kia waiho hoki i nga Maori a ratou pooti ano.
Taku kupu inaianei, kaua e penei te homaitanga o
nga Pire ki a matou. Me he mea mo nga tikanga
Maori anake tetahi Pire, na me whakamarama mai
tena ki a matou. Heoi aku korero. E tautoko ana
ahau i nga korero a Taiaroa.
Na te MARE te kupu kia waiho te roanga o te
korero mo tetahi rangi.
Heoi, whakatika ana te Whare i te weheruatanga.
HE RETA TUHI MAI.
—————•—————
Ko nga Pakeha matau ki te Reo Maori e tuhi mai ana ti
tenei nupepa me tuhi mai a ratou reta ki nga reo e rua—te reo
Maori me te reo Pakeha ano.
Ki te Etita o te Waka Maori.
Whareponga,, Tai Rawhiti, Oketopa 30, 1878.
E HOA, —Mau e panui atu aku kupu kia kitea iho ai e nga
iwi Maori.
E nga iwi Maori, kia rongo mai koutou. Tenei ka ara ake ta
tatou taonga tawhito, te Waka Maori i mate hoki a ia i mua,
kua ora inaianei; i ngaro, a kua kitea. He taonga nui tenei no
te tau. E rite ana ki a Kopu, e hura mai nei ona hihi i te ata;
i muri i a ia ko te awatea; muri atu ko te ra, ka marama te
whenua katoa. Na, e aku hoa, ma tenei taonga e noho tahi ai
a tatou korero. Ahakoa ngaro utu o koutou kanohi i a tatou
korero, i a tatou mahara, e kitekite ana i roto i te Waka. Ahu
mai, ahu mai ki te korea hei kawe atu i nga kai maro a Toi, i
nga kai ngohengohe a Rongoiamo, ki nga tane, nga wahine, me
nga tamariki o to tatou moutere. Tena tatou ka hauhauma i
tu tatou waka, ka ruruku hoki, kei pakaru i nga tupuhi o te
moana. I pakaru hoki te Waka i mua ai i te mea e noho ana
he hoe Pakeha, ara ko te Kawanatanga, he hoe Maori. Na
reira i rarua ai, he rua, no nga kapene—whakatere ke ta tetahi,
whakatere ke ta tetahi. Inaianei kua motu rere ki te hoe
' Maori anake—ara, kua koro te Kawanatanga e eke ki runga. E
mahi ra te Maori i tana mahi, a te hautu, a te pukana, kia tere
ai te waka, kia kaha ui hoki nga kai-hoe. Ko taua hautu nei, he
kohi mai i etahi moni, ara, mo nga nupepa kia uhu tonu mai ki
a tatou.
Tera pea etahi o koutou e penei na, " He tangata tenei e
whangaia ana ki to kai tupepe, ina hoki ana korero. " Kaore, e
hoa ma; engari ko te rongo korero te mea nui. He taonga to
Waka, he taonga te Wananga, he taonga te nupepa Pakeha; e
rongo ai tatou i nga matauranga mo te matikuku pango o
tatou whenua e mau ana ki a tatou. Mo enei rangi noa ano ia,
ka ngara ai te haunga uhi o te Maori i te iwi mahara nui, i te
Pakeha.
Tena ra koutou katoa,
NA MATUTAERA NIHONIHO.
Ki te Etita o te Waka Maori,
Turanga, Nowema 9th, 1878.
E HOA, —I rongo korero noa ake kua tahuri ano nga hoa
aroha ki te hapai i te karakia a te Kooti Rikirangi, nana nei
ratou i kawhaki haere ki roto ki nga wahi ururua o te motu nei
mate ai i nga mate maha i whakapangia nei e taua karakia ki a
ratou. Na te iti pea o to ratou nei whakapono ki taua karakia
i whakapangia ai nga aitua ki a ratou; a, na te nui o to te
Kooti Rikirangi whakapono i ora ai a tera, a na te whakataua-
ki hoki tetahi a tona pakeke, a Tawheta, ara, " Na te oma Ta-
wheta i ora ai. " Koia u ana e noho mai nei i runga i nga wahi
o era iwi, a e noho nei he iwi ke i runga i tona wahi tupu i
Turanga. Katahi nei pea koutou, e nga hoa aroha, ta tino
whakapono ki taua karakia e taea ai te whakaora i o koutou
mate, e ai ki ta te rongo korero e mea ana, tore rawa e whai
urupa taua karakia i tenei ao, mo te mate o te tangata. Heoi
ano te urupa o tera karakia i tenei ao, ko te mahi whakahiato a
te tariana i nga kahui uwha ki tona aroaro; na reira pea nga
hoa aroha i torere tonu ai ki taua karakia, kia rawe ai hoki ra-
tou i etahi kahui ma ratou. Na, whakarongo mai, e nga hoa
aroha. I tau rawa te hoha ki nga ope Kawanatanga e aruaru
ana i a koutou ki te whakahoki mai ki te ora, a e ora nei ano
koutou. Whakarongo ano hoki ki tenei kupu—ko te Kooti
kaore he maunga-a-rongo ki a ia i roto o Turanga nei. ahakoa
Pakeha, Maori ranei. Kaore hoki he tangata i te pohehe ti
ana makatea e takoto i roto o Turanga nei. E mohio ana pea
people, that there should be one vote given to the
Maori and one to the European, because we are not
two separate people; we are children, elder brothers
and younger brothers, fathers and sons. We have
agreed that the Maories should have their votes and
the Europeans their votes. Now, I say do not let
these Bills be given to us in the way they are given
now. If the Bill only refers to Maori affairs let us
have that information, given to us. That is all I
have to say. I support the statements made by the
honorable member for the Southern Maori district.
Ou the motion of Mr. MURRAY, the debate was
adjourned.
The House adjourned at half-past twelve o'clock

CORRESPONDENCE.
—————•—————
European correspondents who have a knowledge of Maori
are requested to be good enough to forward their communi-
cations in both languages.
To the Editor of the Waka Maori.
Whareponga, East Coast, 30th October, 1878.
FRIEND, —Publish my words that the Native people may
read them.
Hearken, ye people. This, our old treasure, the Waka Maori,
is resuscitated; it was dead and is alive again; it was lost and
is found. This is a great event of the year. It is like the
morning star, the rays from which shoot forth in the morning;
then conies the daylight; then the sun, which illumines the
•whole country. Now, my friends, this treasure which we pos-
sess is a means whereby we may come together. Although we
see not each other's faces, yet in the Waka we can see each
other's words and thoughts. Come, come to the canoe which
will cany the hard words of Toi, and the soft words of Ra-
ngoiamo, to all the men, women, and children of our island. Let
us repair and bind together our canoe, lest it be broken by the
storms of the ocean. In clays past it was broken because it
was paddled by Pakeha, that is the Government, and Maori.
Therefore it came to grief, because it was guided by two cap-
tains—one striving to go in one direction, and the other in an-
other direction. Now it is propelled by Maories alone—that
is to say, the Government have nothing to do with it—there-
fore let the Maori time-beaters be active, that the canoe may
speed and the rowers be strong. I mean by this let us support
the Waka by our subscriptions that it may continue to come to
us.
Perhaps sonic of you will say, "This man has received a sop,
by the way he speaks. " No, my friends; but it is a great
matter to receive information. The Waka, the Wananga, and
the Pakeha newspapers, are all treasures; they are all means
by which we may obtain some information respecting the small
portion of land now remaining to us—remaining to us for a
short time only. Ere long, the odour of the Maori fires will
have disappeared before this sagacious people, the Pakeha.
I salute you all,
MATUTAERA NIHONIHO.
To the Editor of the Waka Maori.
Gisborne, November 9th, 1878.
SIR—It is said that some of our friends are favoring the
religion of the Kooti Rikirangi, the man by whom they were
carried off into the forests of the island, where innumerable
evils were brought upon them by that same religion. Perhaps
it was because of their little faith in that religion that mis-
fortunes were brought upon them, and because the Kooti Ri-
kirangi had greater faith in it than they that he escaped, and
also because he had faith in the old saying of his ancestor
Tawheta, namely, "By running away Tawheta was saved. "
Therefore, poor fellow, he (te Kooti) is now living on the lands
of other people, and his own land at Turanga is occupied by a
stranger people (the Pakeha). Perhaps you, my friends, are
now determined to heartily embrace that religion, that you may
be relieved of your ailments, for it is said there are no burying
places in connection with that religion (no death). Probably
the principles of Mormonism appertaining to the religion of
the Kooti attract you—that you may have a multitude of
wives. Now, my friends, listen to what I have to say. The
Government parties were plagued and bored beyond measure
in following you to bring you back to the safety and security
which you now enjoy. Mark what I say—there can be no
peace made with the Kooti here in Turanga, cither by Pakeha
or Maori. There arc none who have not seen the traces which
he has left behind him here in Turanga. No doubt you all

koutou ki Matawhero, ki Pukepuke, ki Oweta, me era atu wahi.
Me he mea ka rongo koutou ki te maunga-a-rongo a te Kawa-
natanga ki tena tangata, a ka waiho e koutou hei mea whakape-
hapeha taua kitenga o te Kawanatanga ki tens tangata i te
wahi ngaro i ro ngahere, me ko wai ka kite atu ? Me i to ma-
ramatanga, era e mohiotia.
Na, tenei ano hoki tetahi kupu, me he mea ka hiahia etahi
tangata ki te haere ki a te Kooti, me noho ki tona aroaro kia
mahorahora ai ratou ki te karakia i to ratou karakia, kia taea ai
hoki e ratou te whakaako i nga karo rakau a te Kooti, kia tu
rawa ake ai ratou hei hoia ma te Kooti ka mohio ratou ki te
hapai o te rakau.
Kupu propiti: ka pera ano he mutunga, a muri ate nei.
Meiha ROPATA.
[Kihai i ngaro i taua tangata toa, pono rawa, a Meiha Ko-
pata, nga kitekitenga a Ta Hori Kerei raua ko te Minita Maori
i nga tangata kohuru, tangata tutu, i nga " wahi ngaro. " E
kore e taea te ki, kaore i te nui haere te karakia a te Kooti i te
motu. Tetahi, ko te tikanga o taua karakia ehara i te mea
aroha ki te iwi Pakeha, engari he mauahara—kia pehea hoki te
ahua o te karakia o te tangata mohoao, tangata kohuru, pera me
te Kooti. Otira, kai te parau matou; ehara pea ia i te tangata
mohoao, noho i waho o te ture, inaianei—ahakoa he kohuru ia.
Inahoki kua kitekite raua ko te Minita Maori, kua korerorero
raua; tera pea kua takoto he titanga aroha ma raua, tetahi ki
tetahi. E mohio ana hoki matou i kite tetahi tino rangatira
Maori i te Minita Maori i mua tata ake nei, a i korero whaka-
tupato atu ki a ia mo te he e puta ake i roto i te nuinga haere-
tanga o taua karakia a te Kooti i te motu, a whakahawea ana
taua Minita, heoi hoki morikarika mai ana taua rangatira. E
kore ano e kiia te tangata tauhou ki nga tikanga Maori, peru me
te Minita Maori nei, he mohio ia ki nga tikanga nui kei roto i
aua " tohu o enei rangi; " engari he pai kia ata whakaaro ia ki
nga kupu ako ki a ia a nga tangata matua, tangata matau. ]
[He kupu waea tenei i tukua mai ki, a matou e Hoani Nahe
(Minita nei) mo te reta a " TETAHI TANGATA KUA 25 ONA
TAU I TE KORONI, " i taia i tera Waka.
Si te Etita o te Waka Maori.
Werengitana, Nowema 5. 1878.
E HOA, —Taia atu tena waea ki te Waka mo te reta a " Te
tangata kua 25 ona tau i te koroni. " E marama tonu ana i a
au taku whai-korero me taku whakaaro hoki mo taua mea. E-
ngari me he mea tera kei te mahia etahi mahi roia inaianei,
ehara i a au. Me mahara a "Rua te kau ma rima tau" he
Maori ke ahau; a e kore hoki nga Maori katoa e whakapono
mai ki ahau, kia wehi ai aua roia i taua whai-korero. Kaore
hoki nga iwi e rua o tenei koroni e wehi i taua whai-korero a
paapa i roto i te Whare.

Tera te korero hanihani, hianga rawa, mo matou
kei te Niu Tirana, nupepa Kawanatanga, o te 9 o
Nowema nei, mo a matou korero i te Waka o te 30 o
Oketopa, mo te Pire Pootitanga me te Pire Hoko
Whenua Maori. He tino hianga, whakahirahira
rawa taua korero katoa, me te mea he korero tohu-
tohuranga na nga Minita, me tona ahua e rite nei ki
to ratou rerenga whakaaro. Ae ra, tera e hari rawa
taua nupepa, me ona ariki Minita, ki te pehi i a
matou korero mo nga tikanga o te motu, me a nga
nupepa katoa atu e whakahe ana ki a ratou—otira
kaore ano kia tae noa ki te ra e ahei ai te pera, e
kore ano hoki e tae. E kore rawa matou e wehi ki
te korero tonu i nga tikanga a te Kawanatanga mo

know Matawhero, Pukepuke, Oweta, and many other spots.
If you have heard that the Government has made peace with
him, and if you are exulting and giving yourselves airs in
consequence of that interview of the Government with that
man in some hidden part of the forest, who knows anything
about it ? If it were done in broad daylight, it would be ap-
parent to all.
I say further, if any men are desirous of joining the Kooti.
let them remain in his presence (i. e., with him), so that they
may have free opportunities of practising the rites of their
religion, and also for practising the Kooti's system of warding
off thrusts of weapons (i. e., being drilled as soldiers), so that
by the time they come forth as the Kooti's soldiers they will
have become skilful in handling their weapons.
And I prophesy, that this, after a time, will be the result.
Major ROPATA.
[The friendly and social little interviews of Sir George Grey
and the Native Minister with rebels and murderers in " hid-
den " places, have not it appears escaped the notice of the
brave and loyal Major Ropata. It is undeniable that the re-
ligion of the Kooti is spreading throughout the country; and
it is just as certain that its spirit is antagonistic to the Pakeha
race—anything emanating from an outlaw and a murderer like
the Kooti could not be otherwise. But we are forgetting:
perhaps he is no longer an outlaw, although a murderer. He
and the Native Minister have met, and the two have had a
social little chat together; perhaps some friendly understand-
ing has been arrived at between them. We know that a chief-
tain of the highest standing lately interviewed the Native Min-
ister and warned him of the danger to be apprehended from the
spread of the Kooti's doctrines, but that gentleman (the
Native Minister) made a jest of the whole thing, and the chief
retired considerably disgusted. It is not to be expected that
a mere tyro in Native matters, like the present Native Minister,
can realize the importance of such " signs of the times, " but
he ought at least to regard the advice of older and more ex-
perienced persons with some degree of deference. ]
[We have received the following telegram from the Hon. Hoani
Nahe (one of the Ministry) in reference to a letter which
was published in a late issue, from " A COLONIST op 25
YEARS' STANDING-; —]
To the Editor of the Waka Maori.
Wellington, November 5th, 1878.
SIR, —Publish in the Waka this telegram in reference to the
letter of "A Colonist of 25 years standing. " I remember
clearly what I said in my speech and what my sentiments were
about that matter. But if any cases are now going on in which
lawyers are employed, it is not my doing. " Twenty-five
years " should remember that I am a stranger (to those people).
and that the great body of the Maori people will not believe
me, that the lawyers should fear that speech of mine. The two
races in this colony will have no fear on account of that speech
made in the House by a mere nobody, (i. e., himself )
HOANI NAHE.
The Government organ, the New Zealander, of the
9th of November instant, has a spiteful article in re-
ference to our remarks on the Electoral Bill and the
Land Purchase Bill, in our issue of the 30th of
October. The article in question breathes a spirit
of intolerance throughout which is highly suggestive
of Ministerial dictation. No doubt the New Zea-
lander, and its Ministerial proprietors, would be glad
to burke free expression of opinion on political mat-
ters, not only in the Waka, but in all journals op-
posed to them—but that time has not yet arrived.
and we hope never will. We shall at all times fear-
lessly discuss the Native policy of the Government. •.
and, if the Natives are " ill-informed, " as the New
Zealander says they are, it shall be our task to make
them better informed. It would be a very easy mat-
ter to answer the tirade of abuse with which the New
Zealander has favored us, but we consider it beneath
our dignity to enter into a discussion with any toady
of the Government. We therefore simply say that
we are not to be silenced by the blustering and
vapouring of the New Zealander. or by any stupid
threats launched at us through its columns.
