HOIANO te tino korero nui kua kiia i roto i tenei
Paremata e tu nei i enei ra, ko te korero mo nga
Kawanatanga Porowini, kia whakakahoretia. E mo-
hio ana pea nga Maori, ko nga Porowini o Aotearoa
nei, e iwa aua.
Porowini ko Akarana, Porowini o Nerihana,
Taranaki, Wetirana,
Haku Pei, Katapere,
Maripara, Otakou.
Werengitana,
A KI te mea, ka whakaaetia te ki a Te Kawanatanga
kia tu he Ture whakakahore mo aua Porowini, penei
ka tino kore rawa he Runanga Porowini, me nga Hu-
piritene, kahore ano hoki era. A ko te mana i mana
ai te mahi a aua Runanga Porowini, me te mana o aua
Huperetene ka riro era ia Te Kawana, a penei ka kiia e
nga tangata o Te Kawanatanga kia Te Kawana, ma Te
Kawana o whakatu he tangata ano, a ko taua hunga e
tu ia Te Kawana maratou o mahi, me te mana ano hoki
o aua Runanga Porowini, me nga Hupiritene, ka mahia
e aua tangata ana tu ia Te Kawana, a ko aua tangata ma
Te Kawanatanga e whiri-whiri taua hunga, mo ratou
nei aua mana Hupiritene. A ko nga moni, me nga mea
katoa i kiia i mua, na aua Runanga Porowini me aua
Hupiritene, ka riro katoa era i te Tino Kawanatanga.
A ko nga tangata o aua Porowini e kahore he mahi
ma ratou i roto i nga mahi hou, i te mea kua mutu
nei hoki te mahi i kiia hei mahi ma ratou Ko enei tu
tangata, ka utua ratou ki te moni mo te whakakahore-
tanga o a ratou mahi. A ko nga moni e utua nei mo-
nga Raihana, mo nga Hipi Haki-Haki, ko enei, he
moni na nga Porowini, Ko enei moni ka utua ki nga
whenua e kiia. "He Takiwa no nga Roori Pooti"
a ko nga utu mo nga takiwa keri koura, ko enei, ka
utua mo nga mahi i nga takiwa o aua mahi koura.
A ko nga utu whenua o aua tini Porowini. Ka ma-
hia ketia era, he Porowini ano he mahinga to ona
moni, he Porowini he mahinga ano to ona moni, a
ko aua tini moni ka whakamahia ki enei mea. Te
tuatahi. Hei utu i nga moni nama ki ano i ea a
aua Porowini, Utu ruri whenua, me nga utu mo te
mahi whakahaere i nga whenua o aua wahi, a me
nga moni ano hoki i hoatu a tau e aua Porowini, ki
nga Rori pooti. Te Tuarua. A ki te mea ka toe he
moni, ana utua aua mea i kiia nei kia utua i nga kupu
o te tuatahi, penei ko aua moni toenga ka wahia kia
rua, a ka mahia peneitia. Te Tuatahi. Hei utu mo
te utanga mai i nga Pakeha ki, Aotearoa nei. A mo
etahi moni hoatu ki nga whare e awhina ai nga hunga
rawakore. Tu tua rua, hei utu mo nga mahi e mahia
ana ma te iwi. Ko nga utu e utua ana, mo nga whare
herehere, mo nga Pirihimana, mo nga Ohipera, me
nga whare nohoanga porangi, me nga whare awhina
mo nga mokai e akona ana. Ko enei utu katoa, e utua
mai ana i nga moni tuturu a Te Tino Kawanatanga.
A uia te tino kai Tiaki moni, e kohikohi, a e utu ano
hoki i roto i nga moni nui tonu o te Kawanatanga,
nga moni e utua e aua Porowini, mei kore te mutu
nga mahi a aua Porowini. Koia na nga tino kupa, o
te Pire e kiia nei e Te Kawanatanga kia mahia hei
Ture.
Nga he e kitea ana i roto i aua tini korero nei, he
kore, kihai i noho a nui nga piti o te whakaaro i
mahia ai aua korero, tetahi, he kore kihai i tatara
nga tikanga, i ahua tapepa nga kii o roto i aua korero.
He kore kihai i whanui, ahua maia te tu mai o nga
whakaaro me nga ritenga o aua kupu. Otiia e kore
taua ritenga o aua korero e kiia hei ketekete ma te
iwi, he mea hoki, ko nga tangata e kiia nei, ko ratou
te Kawanatanga, kihai te mea kotahi o ratou i mohio-
tia, he tangata tino whakaaro nui a ia, a, ko te ahua
mohio, he ahua kau. Na Te Tapeta i kiia ai, e ; i kite
whakaaro iti nei taua hunga. He tika ano te ki, he
iwi tatou, e tino nui ana nga moni e pau ana mo nga
mahi Kawanatanga. Otiia, ko te Ture hou e kiia nei
e Te Kawanatanga kia whakaaetia e Te Paremata hei
Ture, e hara i te mea, ma reira e iti haere ai a tatou
moni e utu ai mo nga mahi Kawanatanga. Kahore,
ko te ingoa kau, te mea e mahi, a ko nga mahi tawhi-
to ano e mahia. Otiia ko nga ingoa o nga kai mahi,
ka tuatia, ki te ingoa hou. Hore rawa nei, he wha-
kaaro kia mea, ka tu taua kupu a Te Kawanatanga
hei Ture, ka ou ou haere nga tangata mahi Kawana-
tanga. E hara i te Ture whakakahore i nga Porowini,
no te mea, ka tu ano aua Porowini. Otiia he Ture
taua Ture hou e kiia nei e Te Kawanatanga kia mahia
hei Ture, he mea pu ano kia kore rawa he kupu a te
iwi mo nga tangata hei mahi ai ratou. I mea hoki
te whakaaro, ki te mea ka mutu nga Porowini, kei re-
ira pu ano te mahia ai kia kotahi ano Ture mo a tatou
whenua. A kotahi ano tikanga mo nga Motu katoa e
kiia nei ko AOTEAROA. A na nga mahi a tenei in

Kawanatanga i kitea ai he wawata kau taua whakaaro
a tatou, kahoro he tikanga o taua Ture e kiia nei kia
mahia e Te Kawanatanga hei Ture, kia ki, i roto i etahi
o nga kupu,, me ata mahi ano he tikanga e mohiotia ai
te paunga o nga moni e utua ana e Te Kawanatanga,
mo nga mea katoa. E mohiotia ana hoki, ko nga
moni nui e pau ana mo nga mahi i te taha o nga waa-
hi e nohoia nuitia aua e te iwi. A ko nga waahi i
mamao, atu, a he peta iti nei te moni e mahia aua ki
ana waahi. A kahore ano hold he mea rapurapu kia
mohiotia ai te he; i pau noa ai etahi o nga moni o
nga mea i pau noa i era tau. A koia ano i puta ai te
kupu a tetahi Pakeha, i tuhituhi atu ki te Nupepa, Nui
Tireni Herara, e mea ana aia, ko taua Tare hou o kiia
nei, e mea ana. "Ki te hunga whai moni e nui ana he
moni ma ratou. A ki te hunga rawakore, e notia ana,
ratou, a e nui ana te hunga nui, e iti ana te hunga iti,
a ko te atawhai o taua Ture, e aro ana ki te ahua o te
tangata, ki. te tikanga o nga takiwa e noho ai, me te
ahua o te utu o te whenua o ana takiwa."
E whakaaetia pea e Te Paremata nei, te take e
whakaetia ai, ko etahi o nga Mema o Te Paremata he
hunga moni iti, a e kore pea e Pootitia mai ano e te iwi
ki reira. A ko ratou ano hei titiro o ma ratou. A ki
te mea ka manaaki pu ano Te Kawanatanga kia tino
kiia taua kupu a ratou hei Ture mo nga Porowini kia
whakakahoretia. Penei ma te kupu ki atu ki etahi o
aua Mema mokai, kia Pooti ratou mo tana Ture hou,
kia tu ai ratou i etahi turanga o nga mahi Kawanata-
nga, ma reira pea e kiia ai taua mea nei, hei Ture.
TE WANANGA.
SATURDAY, 21ST AUGUST, 1875.
THE most prominent subject that has yet been debated
in the present Parliament is that of the Abolition of
the Provincial form of Government. Our readers are
aware that there are at the present period in New Zea-
land nine separate Provincial Governments—Auck-
land, Taranaki, Hawke's Bay, Wellington, Marl-
borough, Nelson, Westland, Canterbury, and Otago.
Should the Bill be passed which the Government have
submitted to the country, the Superintendents, and
the Provincial Councils will be abolished; and the
powers that were vested in such Superintendents, and
such Provincial Councils will lapse to the Governor,
who will have the power to delegate them to such
officers as his Executive may choose to recommend ;
while all real and personal property, and revenues,
now under the control of the Superintendents, will be
vested in the hands of the Colonial Government. The
servants of the Provincial Governments, whose services
will not be required under the new order of things arc
to receive a monetary compensation for their loss of
office. The License fees, and Scab fines, which are
now Provincial revenue, are to be paid to Munici-
palities and road boards ; while the gold-field revenues
are to be applied towards the expenses of the districts
in which such moneys are collected. A separate ac-
count of the land fund of each defunct Province is to
be kept, and the proceeds thereof are to be devoted to
the following purposes :—1. The payment of existing
Provincial liabilities the cost of surveys, and the ad-
ministration of the waste lands, and certain annual
subsidies to the road boards in such Provincial districts.
2. The surplus, if any such surplus be found, is to be
divided into two equal parts, and spent as follows : —
Ono part in the introduction of immigrants, and the
assistance of charitable institutions ; the other in the
construction and the maintenance of Public works. The
cost of all gaols, police, hospitals, asylums, charitable
institutions, and of education, is to be borne by the
Consolidated Fund ; while the Colonial Treasurer, will
receive and pay out of the Public account, all moneys
payable under the provisions of this Act. Such is a
meagre detail of the change the Government propose
to introduce.
The fault that is found with this Government
measure is its crude, and tentative character. It lacks
breadth and boldness of conception. And this is not
to be wondered at. The present Ministry is con-
spicuous for its lack of able men, and exists only on
the morganatic parentage of the member for Timaru.
It is we'll known that we are an over-governed people,
but the Act provides only for a change in the respon-
sibility of our Governors. There is not the faintest
hope, that by its passing, we shall have one official
the less. It is not an Act to abolish, the Provinces,
as they will still remain intact; but it is au Act to
preclude the people from electing their own local Go-
vernment. It was hoped when Provincial institutions
ceased to exist, that we should have one common land
law, one common purse, and one common interest for
both Islands. The present Ministry have shown us how
fallacious such hopes have been. The Bill does not even
provide for an equalisation of expenditure. It is well
known how, in many instances, money has been spent
around the centres of population, while the out-districts
have been neglected. It provides no remedy for this
past mal-administration; but on the contrary, as a
writer in the " New Zealand Herald" says, " To the
rich it gives in proportion to their riches, and with
the poor it deals hardlly ; subsidising all in proportion.
to their wealth, and distinct rates, and district land
sales." There is a probability of its passing the Lower
House for this reason :—In the House of Represen-
tatives there are many needy men who will not again
be returned by the people. They have to provide for
themselves. The patronage the Government will
obtain by the passing of this Bill, will enable them to
promise permanent appointments to many a wavering
man, and thereby secure his vote ; such men being
only too glad " to run to earth " in the Civil Service,
and bo provided for iu the future, at the expense of
the public weal.

utu tau, aha koa e nohoia ana ranei. I nga whenua ano
hoki o nohoia ana, i roto i ngu Takiwa katoa te koroni o

THE great friend of the Maori people, Sir Donald M'Lean
Knight Commander of Saint Michael and Saint George,
has introduced a Bill into the House of Representatives
called the Local Government Bill. It looks innocent on
its first perusal. It will he remembered by every Maori
who may read or hear of what is now written in the
" Wananga" that Sir Donald has not lately been success-
ful in purchasing native lands for a few pence per acre.
The only mana he possesses among the whites is this:
they imagine that he understands and can manage the
Maori people better than any other man. Many readers
will smile incredulously wheti they read this assertion ;
but they may rest content with the conviction of its abso-
lute truth. Sir Donald both forgets and forgets not. He
has forgotten how the Native race have carried him ou
their backs to fame and fortune, from obscurity ; but he
has Dot forgotten his repulse among the Arawa and other
tribes. The manner he adopts for their punishment is the
following, in bis Local Government Bill :—" All land
shall be rateable property within the meaning of this Act,
except land the property of her Majesty and unoccupied,
and laud the property of her Majesty and used for public
purposes,
Sir Donald has possibly been told of this fact.
Koia nei nga kupu n totahi kai tuhituhi mai o Kara-
iwa ki to Nupepa Haku Poi Herora, mo to Wananga.
E ki ana aia ko to Wananga, he Nupepa hou, ara
he mea tawhito ano, otiia kua timataria hooutia ano
te mahi, a kua ahua ke. He whakaaro hou nga mea
e mahia, ai, whai hoki he waahi ke te takiwa e taia ai
i enei ra, ara i roto i te Taone o Nepia. A kua tae
mai taua Nupepa kia matou a e pai pu aua a matou
whakaaro ki taua Nupepa. Heoi ra, ko naku kupu,
he mea naaku mo nga Pakeha kia ano i mohio noa
ki nga tikanga Maori.
This is the manner iu which the Clive correspondent
of the "Hawke's Bay Herald" speaks of the WA-
NANGA :—" The WANANGA, a new publication, or
perhaps, I had better say au old publication, reha-
bitilated, and in a new character, new brains, and
emanating from a. new locality—that is, your city—
has made its appearance amongst us, and created a
very favorable impression. Of course, I speak of Eu-
ropeans knowing little of Maori, and much less of
their manners aud customs."
He mea tika pu ano, kia tino whakaaro te iwi Ma-
ori o Haku Pei, puta noa i te akau, me koro ranei e
e puta he nui kia ratou, ana mahi ratou i tenei mea,
i te whakatuputupu hipi. Ina hoki ko te hunga kua
hoko i nga whenua Maori, a kua hoko ranei i nga
whenua ki Te Kawanatanga, i a ratou anake nga
moni nui o tenei tu mahi. He nui nga whenua takoto
noa iho a nga Maori, a he hoa ano o nga Maori, hei
homai mea e kapi ai aua whenua i to hipi i te kau,
ma reira e puta ai he moni ki nga Maori. He mange-
re, a he ngoikore koia enei mahi i kore ai e oti noa
atu i te Maori i mua. Ki te hunga mohio, kotahi
ana kupu, kua matau taua tu tangata. A. e mea ana
ana matou, ko tenei kia mohio ki tenei ako a matou.
Ina hoki, ko nga hipi, ko nga kau, e utaina ana ki
Hiti. He mea tuku atu aua kuri i Haku Pei, i
Whanganui. Me te Taone o Akarana ano hoki, he mea
tiki mai he kau ma o reira tangata, i aua whenua nei
ano.
It would be wise fur the Maori people to consider
whether it would not be prudent for them, especially
in Hawke's Bay, and ou the West Coast, to turu their
attention to grazing- pursuits. Those who lease
Native lauds, or have purchased lands from the Go-
vernment have the monopoly of this mean of wealth..
With vast tracts of laud remaining idle, and either
money or influence sufficient to enable them to obtain.
what stock they may require, a fairer field for enter-
prise and money-making cannot be conceived. Only
their shortsightedness and supineucss have have pre-
vented them from so doing long since. A word to
the wise is generally deemed sufficient—it is to be
hoped the present instance will not form an exception
to the rule. Most of sheep and cattle sent to Fiji
are drawn from the Whanganui and Ahuriri
districts. The city of Auckland is largely indebted to
the same sources of supply, Whanganui and Hawke's
Bay.
E Ui aua tetahi Ture, i mahia e Te Paremata i te
tau 1867. Kia hoatu a Karauna Karaati, etahi whe-
nua ki Ngaiterangi i te takiwa ki Tauranga, A he
mea ki e Te Kere, i nga ra ano o te marama nei, ki
te Runanga o Te Paremata, kia whakataea taua kupu
o taua Ture ki te pono. Ka mea a Ta Makarini,
kia mutu te huihui o Te Paremata, ka tonoa a Te Ka-
raka, kia haere kia uia taua mea, a kia whakaotia eia,
a e kore rawa e wareware taua kupu ta Ta Makarini i
To Kawanatanga. Ka mea a Te Mare, me nga Mema
o Te Waipounamu, me utu nga Maori ki te moni, kia
riro ai te whenua ki to Kawanatanga. Ka mea atu
a Te Hiana. Ho teka, e kore rawarawa nei e tika
kia penatia o Te Kawanatanga. A whakaaetia ana
to kupu a To Kere. E kiia ana ko taua whenua, e
mea nei a Ngaiterangi, e tae ki te tekau-ma-ono mano
eka.
By an Act of the Legislature, bearing date 1867,
certain lauds wore to be given by Crown Grant to the
Ngaiterangi, in the Tauranga district. When the
question of fulfilling this promise was brought before
the House the other day by Mr Kelly, Sir D. McLean
stated Mr. Clarke should return, immediately after the

close of the present session, and inquire into, and settle
the question. " He would promise the Government
would not neglect ta attend to the matter." Mr.
Murray, a Southern member, proposed that the Natives
should be paid the value of their claims in cash, and
allow the Government to keep the land, but Mr.
Sheehan pointed out that the Government could do
nothing of the sort. The motion of Mr. Kelly was
then agreed on. The block of land is about 160,000
acres ia extent.
E mea ana te Minita monga mahi ma te iwi kua
kiia e Te PareMata kia hanga nga Rerewe, a kia
kotahi mano kia kotahi tekau maero te roa o aua
mahi Rerewe, a me utu taua mahi i nga moni i nama
nei e Te Kawanatanga. A ko nga moni kia mahia
moana Rerewe kia ,£6,150,981, (ara, e ono miriona,
kotahi rau e rima teka mano, e iwa rau e waru tekau
matahi pauna.) A kia 370 maero Rerewe i tenei
Mota, e 64:0 i Te Waipounamu. Ko te utu mo te
maero kotahi e mahia ai tenei maha te Rerewee, £5,600
(e rima mano e ono rau pauna.) A ko nga Rerewe,
kaa oti, a e hawea aua e nga mea o te Rerewe

ka oti ano 173 maero Rerewe hou, a kia taerawa

kua oti i tenei Motu, ara e haerea ana, ko te mea i
Nepia, ko te mea i Poneke, ko te mea i Akarana,
a ko nga moni i hoki mai o enei, ara ko nga utu o
nga mahi i mahi ai aua Rerewe, a ko aua moni, i
hoki mai i roto i te rau patina i pau mo te na hinga
o aua Rerewe, e rua pauna i roto i te rau pauna i
pau, otiia, na aua Rerewe nei ano nga moni o roto o
ta ratou mahi i utu nga kai mahi, me nga mea katoa
e mahia ana e haere ana i runga i aua Rererewe.
The Minister for Public Works, informs the country
that 1,010 miles of railway have been authorised to
be constructed from our borrowed money at a cost of
£6,150,981. There will be 370 miles of railway iu
the North, and 640 in the Middle Island. As a rule,
the average cost of construction per mile Las been
£5,600. There are now open for traffic 278 miles ;
in the next three months a further length of 173 miles
is expected to be opened, and by the end of the year
another 116 miles will be ready for opening, making
the whole length of completed railways at the com-
mencement of the next year 567 miles. The three
railways open for traffic in the North Island, viz., the
Napier and Waipukurau, the Wellington and Mas-
terton, and the Auckland and Onehunga, have paid
some 2 per cent, on their capitalised cost for construc-
tion, beside working expenses.
He korero waea mai enei no Tawahi, hei titiro ma
nga iwi Maori, kotahi wahi o taua whenua nei, o
Aihirana, i puta hou ake ai tetahi o nga toropuke

Among the last English telegrams the following
appears, -which will doubtless interest our Native
readers:—" An extinct volcano in Iceland opened for
four weeks, and ejected fire, lava, ashes, and muddy
boiling fluid. Villages and farms within twenty miles
of it were destroyed. Thousands of people had to
flee for their lives. This volcano ceased, and another
opened a hundred miles away, and devastated the
country for fifty miles around. New mounds have
been thrown up in the centre of the island several
hundred feet, and poured out their burning contents
over two hundred miles of country, rendering ten
thousand people homeless. Several hundred people
are reported to have perished. Some famous geysers
dried np since the terrible eruption, and instead of
water emit immense volumes of hot smoke and ashes,
which at night appear like gigantic columns of fire,
visible for hundreds of miles. The eruption is said to
be the most widely extended volcanic action ever
known in the world. The forty thousand inhabitants
on the coasts of Iceland are too poor to support their
destitute fellow-countrymen, and the Copenhagen Go-
vernment has made an appeal for the sufferers."
E ki ana te Kawana, kua hoki tata nei ki Ingara-
ngi. He kupu tuhituhi nana kia Ara o Karingatana,
te tino kai tuhituhi o te Kawanatanga o Ingarangi.
I penei ana kupu. " E hiahia ana ahau, kia turia te-
tahi tino tikanga, hei ako i nga tamariki o nga ranga-
tira Maori, ki nga tino mohiotanga a te Pakeha, kia
mohio ai ratou ki te mahi i roto i nga.iwi Maori, a,
kia mahi ai ano hoki ratou i roto i nga mahi Kawa-
natanga o te whenua nei. Ahakoa kua kore he mea
o era akoranga i nga tamariki Maoai. Heoi, e mea
ana ahau, ma nga rangatira Pakeha ianei, ma Te
Kawanatanga ranei e mahi tetahi tikanga hei ako i
aua tu tamariki." A ko nga korero a terei; Kawana
i tuhituhi atu ai ano ki taua kai tuhituhi ra no, i te
15 o Mei nei. E mea ana. "Kua mea ahau kia kite
ahau i a Tawhiao i Kawhia. He mea hoki nana, kia

i te mea he tikanga iti ona, he mea hoki, he tini nga

The Armed Constabulary at the close of the year
were 737 in number. The Native Contingent, 93
strong, are included in the above return. They cost
ihe colony in round numbers £100,00.0 per annum.
The Commissioner makes the following remarks;:—
" Notwithstanding the large annual increase to the
population, no addition is made to the Police force,
and it is only with the utmost exertions of the police
the graner cases of crime receive due attention. Petty
thefts, &c., remain unpunished, owing to the paucity
of constables." The people in the North Island must
certainly be a lawless and refractory lot, when, in ad-
dition to the Provincial police, 737 men cannot keep
them in order. It appears, however, they have done
some useful work beside acting as orderlies, cleaning
their accoutrements, and carrying telegraphic messages
between Stoney River and Opunake. They have made
70 chains of road at Rotorangi through the Paikuku
swamp, sodded 3,472 feet of the slope of the redoubt,
ploughed and sown a twelve acre paddock, split 1,000
posts and rails, and 31.000 shingles, made 40 chains
of ditch, and bank fence, and renewed the stable floor
at Alexandra; built two brick chimneys at Cam-
bridge ; erected a new mess house, and cleared eight
acres of land at Pukekura ; exit 7,500 feet of timber,
ploughed thirteen acres of land, and erected 97 chains
of post and rail fence at Kihikihi ; and at Hamilton
repaired the barracks, built a verandah, a mess room,
and sunk a well. They have also fenced in " the
soldiers' grave yard at Rangiriri." Such aro the
returns from the Hamilton district, where the force is
162 strong. This station has been taken as an. illus-
tration of the manual labor performed by our Defence
Force, as more than twice the number of men are
located at Hamilton than iu any other district. When.
any person may be disposed to find fault with the cost
of this arm of the service, it would be wise to remember
that they save the country at a liberal computation
£10,000 per annum in manual labor. Lieut.-Col.
Lyon, the Acting-Commissioner, could with propriety
take a lesson from the Governor of the Dunedin gaol,
and publish with his other tables the value of the re-
productive work performed by the corps under his
control annually.

north end of the Northern Island previous, to the advent of
the Maori. That they were driven back into the
Kaipara country by the Mamari (which canoe landed i
at Hokianga). The Ngapuhi or Mamari people
say they were driven, (and there kept for some years) into
• the fastnesses of the mountains in their district by a mi-
gration of the Ngatiawa from Taranaki. That the Ngatiawa
again wandered, one portion going southward by the West
Coast, proceeded in their line of march by a few daring
men in charge of a pot Iguano, (Kaweau Lizard), the
fear of which by the tribes through whose country (they
in their now now enfeebled state as, to numbers) had to
pass, was of sufficient cleared to be
They eventually arrived in Taranaki. The other por-
tion of the Ngatiawa, under the leadership of Kauri, em-
barked in canoes at Rangaunu, and sailed un the East
Coast, taking possession of part of the Tauranga dis-
trict. The Ngapuhi again occupied their old home, as
takea by the Mamari people. The Ngatiwhatua occu-
pied Kaipara, the Rarawa the North Cape district, the old
home of the Ngatiwhatua.
The Waikato and the Thames tribes are the descendants
of people of the Arawa and Tainui migrators, who inter-
married.
The Raglan, Aotea, Kawhia, and Mokau tribes, are the
Tainui migration with the sub-tribes, who now occupy the
West Coast up to the Manuka (Manukau) heads.
The Arawa occupy the land taken by the descendants of
Ngatoroirangi Taina Te-Kapua people, hei, and others of
the chief men of this migration. I do not for the present
take any notice oti the districts taken by each of the leaders
of this migration, and from whom, through some deformity
of body, or act, the principal headlands in the Bay of
Plenty, took their names.
The Matatua migration, under the leadership of Rua-
auru (or Ru-auru), landed on the east of Whakatane, and
took possession of the country now occupied by the
Urewera (his descendants), from Whakatane to Te Whai
a-Paoa ; (I also do not here, nor shall I take further note
of Toroa, from whom came the Whanau-a-Apanui, as they
may be classed with the Whakatohea, who, with them
can be amalgamated in their customs to land with the
Arawa).
The Takitumu (or Taki-timu) migration, under the
leadership of Tamatea (descened from Maui), landed at
the East Cape, and took the land from Te Whai-a-Paoa
(Hicks' Bay) to Wairarapa. This canoe (Takitumu)
coasted along the West Coast, leaving people at various
points from the East Cape to Wellington. Then crossing
over Cooks' Straits, she landed the remainder of the people
on the Middle Island, (rocks purporting to be this canoe are
shown by the Natives tu this day), where she was called
Horouta. A chief descended from these people called
Whatu-ma-moa, gave the origin to the Ngatimaoa of
that island. Disputes in respect to land in the East Cape

Friend,—Salutations to you. I have road your later,
asking us to contribute information to your paper, which
may be read in all parts of the world.
There are many interesting articles given in the WA-
NANGA and the Waka Maori, but it may be asked what
heed does the world pay to such articles.
We the northern portion of this land are enquiring as to
the origin of these doubts which are now and then
circulated over this land. Also by what means all people

of Tohia Rangi, when they may perhaps have matters to
communicate to the WANANGA.

home, hence the proverb " Homeless Matariki." But it is
known that Matariki has a home when he enters the Ta-
ngaroa days of the middle of the mouth of May ; he is in
Mau-ka-hau, seven nights there. Thence he goes into
Tararauatea and is seven nights there. Then he goes
into Papa-whakatangitangi, and is seven nights there.
Then he goes to Titore-mohutu, where he is also seven
nights Then he re-appears in the middle of the month
of June, and comes out at the tail of the Milky Way, and
with him comes out Whanui, the star of the North, from
whose appearance the Maori computes the middle of the
year, hence the following song :—
Re-appears Matariki,
Whanui disappears ;
Signs of the year.
Let the anger of the people
All be heaped on me.
The people are not
Who May be killed by thee.
Men there were
But all have gone to gloom,
Quickly then arouse thyself,
That thou may'st sooner arise.
When dawn is near, the tail of the Milky Way turns to
the descending sun, and the head points eastward, and
waits for his coining.
It is said in Maori Fable that the Milky Way is the
younger brother of the sun ; hence the love of each To the
other. Hence also the mind utters the wish that something
new may be written for the pages of the WANANGA.
Mr Editor, I shall ask you a question—Do all the people
know the meaning of this word WANANGA ; do not be of-
fended, I merely wish to clear the way. There are many
meanings to this word. The European WANANGA has been
compiled, and is now in print ; still there are many Euro-
peans who do not know the meaning of this word. Men of
high rank alone know.
I will now* address my own people (the Maori), in respect
to the " Wananga" of the European. The Dictionary of
the English language, with its eighty thousand words, and
their meanings ; and the English grammar and all its
parts ; navigation and all its problems ; and the Scriptures
only part of which is as yet understood ; hence those (the
European), are of one language. But the " Wananga"
of the New Zealander has not yet become one, and hence
our present difficulties. My statement is true, as each people
have a " Wananga " of their own, and though they live in
close contiguity, the heart is not correct. This is the
origin of the Maori word " Wananga," and its meaning.
It is the account of the creation of the world, but from
that time up to the present day, it has not been fathomed.
. I must conclude my words to the WANANGA, hoping you
may be able to insert this in your paper, in the two lan-
guages.
