SATURDAY," JUNE 8 1878
FUNERAL OF THE LATE TE
- HAPUKU.
ON Friday, the 31st of May, 18788 the remains of
the celebrated chief Te Hapuku, of Hawke's Bay,
were conveyed to the grave. A concourse of not 1
less than twelve hundred persons, including Maoris J
and Europeans, gathered round the vault in which
the body was interred to pay their last respects to
the remains of the old chief.
On Thursday the public of Napier were informed
by notice in the public papers that a special train
would run free from Napier to Te Hauke, to afford
an opportunity to all Europeans or Maoris
who might wish to attend the funeral of the
late Te Hapuku. At the same time the Napier
Artillery Volunteers received instructions to attend
and be present at the obsequies of the late chief.
These, in full uniform, arrived at the Napier rail-
way station as the train was ready to proceed, and
with these and the other portion of the public, the
train carried not less than six hundred, which
started at 12 noon. At the Farndon station other
members of the public took a seat in the train, and
at Hastings several also availed themselves of the
opportunity to attend the funeral. At Te Pakipaki
station a great number of Europeans and Maoris
also took their seats on the bridges of the carriages,
which gave the appearance to the train, as the
Hibernian said, " of being filled inside and out.
On the approach of the train, as it came in
sight of Te Hauke, those Natives who had gathered
at the settlement of the late Te Hapuku dropped
the flags which, up to the time the train appeared
in sight, had been waving silently in the breeze.
This act in dropping the flags was the Maori re-
cognition of the feeling of sorrow which the arrival
of the Europeans coming in the train expressed to
the memory of their late chief. On the arrival of
i the train at Te Hauke, a great crowd of the women
and girls all rose to their feet, waving shawls, hand-
kerchiefs, and boughs of green shrubs, and at the
same time called "Haere mai" (welcome), which
J waving of garments and boughs and calling the
i welcome was continued till the European public in
I a crowd, headed by the Volunteers, entered the
I gate leading to the Hauke kainga. When the
I Volunteers fell into column of marching order, and
I just as the word of command was given, " Quick
I March," a number of the Maori young men
I of Te Hauke had formed themselves into
I column, with guns in hand, in imitation of
I the Volunteers, and fired a volley to welcome
I the arrivals by the train, but especially the
soldiers and the children soldiers, which they recog-
nised in the cadets. Those who visited Te Hauke
' I on the day in question could not but be amused at
I the various and motley dresses worn by the Maori
people as mourning for the late chief, from the
child of a few years old to the aged and decrepid;
. the use of every color that the European dyer could
show on silk, cotton, or cloth was seen, in as various
costumes and patterns as the multifarious dress-
makers in Christendom and Maoridom could devise.
As the crowd of Europeans entered the gate, the
Hon. H. R. Russell, Miss Herbert, F. J. Moss,
Esq., M.H.R., F. Sutton, M.H.R., J. G. Kinross,
Esq., and other well known gentlemen, W. L,
Rees, Esq., M.H.R., C. A. DeLautour, Esq.,
M.H.R., with Mrs. Rees, Mrs. DeLautour, and
many of the ladies of Napier were invited by the
chiefs who were superintending the funeral proces-
sion to go and see the coffin of the late Te Hapuku.
I The coffin was beneath an awning of canvas, with the
feet of the dead directed to the hill " Kahuranaki,"
which is in an easterly direction from Te Hauke,
and is a noted mountain in Maori tradition, fore-
telling storms when a covering of clouds envelopes
the cap of that hill. The name of this hill was also
repeated in many and various incantations in
ancient times to ensure a good lishing season, and
also a goodly number of birds at the time
when pigeons and kuaka (snipe) were taken in the
old Maori way of trapping and spearing birds. To
this mountain, as the sacred hill of his ancestors,
the feet of the departed were directed, The coffin
1 was trimmed with black cloth, and all around the
I edges of the lid was decorated with the usual orna-

ments placed on the biers of those to whom their rela-
tives wish to pay some amount of respect. A plate of
glass had been let into the lid, through which,
For the whole week which the corpse had been
kept, the people might see the face of the deceased
when they assembled to weep over his death.
On entering the awning, at the right was
seen the widow of Te Hapuku, who in a dress of
black was standing waving her hands to and fro,
with tears streaming down her face, while she
chanted a song of sorrow to him who was now
with the dead. At the head was tied at each
end a sapling, about six yards long, to which
were suspended five greenstone Mere Pounamus,
one Meremere of whalebone, and a variety of small
greenstone ear ornaments. And on the left and next
to the coffin was Hene-i-Paketia, a woman of rank
equal to any chief in Hawke's Bay. Being one of
the oldest women of rank, and closely related to Te
Hapuku, she was the principal person in charge of
the corpse. She stood in silence, but at times
waved her hands to and fro. Next to her, and
sitting in a crouching position, with her head bowed
down, was the aged wife of Paora Kaiwhata, weep-
ing in a low voice, chanting a song of old, expres-
sive of the sorrow of the living for those who have
passed from this life. On arrival of the Hon.
H. R. Russell and party, these Maori mourners
at once gave the welcome, " Come to see
him," and the covering of the coffin lid being
drawn aside, after Mrs. Rees and her friends
had seen Te Hapuku, the European public had
the melancholy gratification of looking at the
face of the late chief for the last time. More
than half an hour was taken up by those who
passed in to pay this last mark of respect, and when
all had seen him who wished so to do, a chief, in a
clear voice, in Maori, called aloud to the assembled
crowd to make a passage through their midst for
the funeral procession to pass. This being done,
eight chiefs carried the coffin from beneath the
awning, and followed by the Volunteers, they pro-
ceeded to the vault which had been built on a spot
on which in former years had stood a large house
which had been occupied by Te Hapuku, and near
to which the noted chief Puhara had been buried.
Some few days before the death of Te Hapuku, he
was requested by the old chiefs to say where he
wished to be buried Some of them suggested that
he should be conveyed to the old and sacred wahi
tapu at Waimarama, where for ages his family had
been buried. To this he demurred, and wished to
be laid near Puhara, close to his then home, Te
Hauke. Te Hapuku had spent much of his money,
and the last months of his life in building two large
houses near to where Puhara had been buried.
These houses stand on the north side, about four
hundred yards from the line of railway which passes
in front of Te Hauke, in which settlement these
houses stand ; on the south, and about one hundred
and fifty yards distant is the grave of Puhara. On
the east of this grave is the vault in which Te
Hapuku was laid. The Rev. S. Williams, son of
ihe late Bishop Williams, was the officiating
minister, who read the burial service in the Maori
language, the responses to which were repeated by
the Maoris around in an audible and solemn man-
ner. The vault in which the old chief was buried
is about twelve feet deep, the rim being built
about three feet above the surface of the ground.
At the conclusion of the ceremony of reading the
Church of England Service for the dead, the
Volunteers and those young Maori men who fired a
volley of welcome to the Europeans, fired three
volleys over the grave, and the assembly dispersed.
The chiefs and those who were deputed to give a
welcome to the European visitors at once busied
themselves in inviting the people, especially the
Europeans, to enter the large assembly house,
where a good display of viands, such as wine, beer
bread, cheese, biscuits, and other eatables were pro.
vided for the European visitors. Each and every
one who visited the Hauke oh that day were wel-.
corned by the Natives to partake of refreshment.
The kai provided for the Maori people was not
given till after the train conveying the Europeans
to town had left Te Hauke. As a telegram had
been received by the chiefs from Sir George Grey,
Hon. J. Sheehan, and the Government, Mr. J.
White was requested to read it to the assembled
Natives. Renata Kawepo, Paora Kaiwhata, Tareha
Te Moananui, Harawira Tatere, Noa Te Hianga,
Henare Matua, Ropata Te Hoakakari, and all the
principal chiefs of the various hapus (family tribes)
of the great generic tribe " Kahungunu," and all
the Maori people then present assembled in front of
the house called, " Kahuranaki," when the telegram
as follows was read to them:—"To Te Watini
Hapuku and all the children of Te Hapuku, and
all the tribe: Friends, salutations to you. It is
with the deepest sorrow that we have heard of the
death of your father and chief, Te Hapuku. The
memory of Te Hapuku will not soon be forgotten.
His name was known not only through the Islands,
but also in other lands. His fame as a warrior, in
the days of old, is known to all the tribes, and the
Europeans know and are thankful for the many
acts of kindness and protection received by them at
his hands; the Pakeha will not soon cease to re-
member or to grieve over the dead, Te Hapuku. In
these days but few men like Te Hapuku remain-
the old trees are being blown down by the wind, or
falling through old age ; and who shall say whether
the young fruit now growing up will ever equal
them in strength or usefulness. Our great hope is
that the mana of Te Hapuku will fall upon one
who will be able to guide his people safely, and to
preserve them from the perils which await a flock
without a shepherd. It is also a subject of exceed-
ing regret to us that we are unable to be present at
his funeral, but though we may not be ,there in
person, we shall nevertheless be present in the

. .
spirit amongst those who will follow reverently to
the grave the remains .of one of the last of the great
old chiefs of New Zealand."
When the telegram had been read, Paora Kai-
whata asked it to be read a second time, which was
done, and Nepia Te Hapuku rose and said, in
Maori, Mr. White again acting as interpreter:
"I speak to. you Europeans who have come
here to-day to attend the funeral of my father, Te
Hapuku. We, the children and people of Te
Hapuku, are much pleased because you show that
you think much of Te Hapuku. You all know I
that he was a kind man to the Europeans, and his
kindness "was ever shown to all. We say we are
pleased because you have come to be present at his
burial. So ends my word to you." Paora Kai-
whata said : " The words of the telegram are good.
We will think of them." Mr. White again rose
and said, "Sir G. Grey and his ;friends have sent
another word to you which I have been requested
to tell to you. It is this: Sir G. Grey and his
friends think that a lasting memorial should be put
up for Te Hapuku, one which may be seen by
future generations, and one on which may be read
an account of Te Hapuku, so that all who read it
may know how much esteem he was held in by
those who knew him. Sir G. Grey and his friends
therefore say that if you, the chiefs and tribes and
people wish it, he and his friends will assist in
erecting such a memorial for Te Hapuku."" Mr.
White then asked, "What is your answer to this, O
chiefs, tribes, and people ?" A loud call, in which all
the 'Natives joined, was, " We all agree." Mr.
White put the question then, " Is it left by you
to Sir George Grey and his friends to select, and to
tate all action in this matter ?" A loud answer
from all the people," Yes." Again the question
was put by Mr. White, " Are you all of one
opinion ? " Answer by all in a loud voice, " Yes"
Soon afterwards the Europeans partook of the good
things provided for them by their Maori friends.
We here quote from the " H. B. Herald," which
says, " When the Volunteers were assembled just
prior to leaving, a Native chief requested Major
Withers' permission to address them, and Mr.
Master acting as interpreter, Harawira te Tatere
spoke as follows :—• We are very much pleased
with you all for coming to Te Hauke. We all
thank you for coming. He has departed from
amongst us, and we are left to lament his loss. He
was a great warrior, and a good and hospitable man,
both to white men and Maoris. I have been in war
with him and the white people, at Taupo and other
places. May you all live long and continue in good
health. I again thank you all for coming, both for
myself and our people. That is all I have to say."
Major Withers said : * We are all sad at the loss
sustained by you all by the death of Hapuku. He
was a brave and hospitable man, and I hope his
sons will follow his example "
:" As the train moved on its return journey to town,
the flags floating from the staff were again dropped,
and repeatedly drawn up and down, while the Maori
crow.d called with a loud shout a good day to the
departing visitors. As these flags have a significa-
tion, we will give a short description of them: A
large flagstaff, surmounted by a fish, the latter re-
presenting the name of the deceased chief—Ha-
puku—stood in the midst of the Hawke settlement.
The staff was decorated with six flags—the first and
that beneath the fish was the English ensign; the
second was red and white, bearing the word
" Winiata"; the third, red and yellow, with a cross
and other devices, bore the words, " Kingi Onui-
tirene" (King of New Zealand). This flag was
one sent to the old chief, Hapuku, by the tribes
who were the head of the Maori war with the Go-
vernment, which Hapuku accepted from the mes-
sengers, after which he told them to go home, and
not to trouble him again; it has been kept by him
ever since as a thing to laugh at, and for want of
other flags was made to add to the number on the
day of mourning. The fourth was green and
black, with white devices ; the fifth, black and red,
had the head and shoulders of a tatooed Native
and the word " Otenema." This flag is one owned
by Otene Matua, who had it as the flag of their
family to denote them from unfriendly Natives in
the disturbed times in past years. The sixth, deep
black, bore simply the inscription " Hapuku.
The house called " Kahuranaki" is well worth
the trouble of a journey from town to inspect, it
has been spoken of as the most conspicuous object
in the pah at Te Hauke, and is the meeting-house,
which is also used for a church. The frame-work is
of rounded timber, painted and carved; the walls
of raupo and flax, beautifully worked and colored,
the whole reflecting much credit on Native skill and
talent. It has an elegant porch, and is lofty and
roomy inside. Another equally large building,
though of less pretensions, which was the house in
which Te Hapuku lived, is built all of sawn timber.
In this the old chief had not the pleasure
for any considerable time to preside as in the
days of old, as the host of guests from the tribes
visited him. There may be chiefs of higher oratorical
power, there may be chiefs who speak more, and
take more thought of European wishes and whims,
but we can confidently say there are not many who
could cope with the late Hapuku in true hospitality,
genuine honesty of speech, and more choice in his
words and respect to those in whom he confided,
and one who could with more unmistakable language
speak the truth to those to whom he was opposed in
equity and justice.
In times of old, and even in the present day, when
a Maori child had a Maori name given to it, such
name was invariably the index to some injury com-
mitted, or act done by those to whom the child was
related, and thus history was perpetuated and a
knowledge of it preserved in the names of the
people of a tribe. The names of the late

chief Hapuku had their origin in this way.
Some time before Te Hapuku was born, the
corpse of the son of the great Hawke's Bay
chief, Te Pakiko, was being taken from the
settlement in which he died to the sacred place at
Waimarama. The procession carrying the corpse,
•in passing some strangers on the road, one of them
said, "Is that a codfish (Hapuku) which is being
carried." When the child was born, Hapuku (cod-
fish) was the name given to it, to keep the insult in
remembrance. Karanema was the eldest son of
Te Hapuku, who just before he died asked for
Aruhe (fern-root) to be given to him to eat. Hence
Hapuku assumed the name of Aruhe to keep the
dying wish of his son in remembrance. The Euro-
peans who could not speak Maori, having heard that
Hapuku stood for codfish, some of them in a joke
instead of calling him Hapuku in Maori, said in
English, " Well, great fish of the sea." This be-
ing translated to the old chief, he put it into Maori
and hence his other and last name, " Te Ika nui o te
"Moana."

Hapuka kei te ora, e hinga haere ana nga rakau

runga i te ngakau aroha ki te tanu i tetahi o nga tino
rangatira nunui o Nui Tireni: —KAWANA KEREI,
HONE HIANA. Ano ka oti te korero te korero o taua
waea e Te Waiti, ka ki a Paora Kaiwhata, kia korero-
tia ano. Ka oti ano te korero tua-rua, ka tu a Nepia
te Hapuku, ka mea, e te ope Pakeha i haere mai nei
kia kite i te nehunga o Te Hapuku, e whakapai atu
ana matou nga tamariki a Te Hapuku kia koutou,
kanui ta matou whakapai atu mo ta koutou haerenga
mai kia kite, a kia tangi ki te matenga o Te Hapuku.
Heoi ano aku kupu. Na Te Waiti ano i whakapakeha
awa kupu a Nepia Hapuku ki te ope Pakeha. Ka tu
ano a Te "Waiti, ka mea atu ki te ope Maori ra: Tenei
te kupu, a Kawana Kerei ratou ko ana hoa Pakeha.
Kia koutou ki nga uri a Te Hapuku, a ki nga iwi
Maori hoki. E mea ana a Kawana Kerei ratou ko
ana hoa, me mahi he atamira mo Te Hapuku, a me
tu taua mea hei titiro ma nga uri i muri o tatou. Me
mahi taua atamira hei Kohatu, a me mahi he korero
mo te Hapuku ki taua atamira, hei titiro ma nga uri
I muri o tatou. Kia mohio ai aua iari, ki te whaka-
pai o tatou ki to tatou kaumatua kia Te Hapuku. A
ma Kawana Kerei ratou ko ana hoa te whakaaro mo
taua atamira kia mahia. Ka ui atu a Te Waiti ki te
iwi, Maori. E whakaae ana koutou. Ka umere te
iwi ka mea, ae, a o toru uinga o taua kupu e Te
Waiti ki nga rangatira me te iwi Maori, a e toru
aetanga mai. Ka tae ki te wa e hoki ai te ope Pakeha.
Ka tu nga marihia, ka mea etahi o nga rangatira
Maori, kia Meiha Wita, kia korero a Te Meiha Wita
kia ratou, ka tu taua Meiha, ka mea, ae. A ko Tiema
Mata te kai-whakamaori. Ka tu hoki ko Te Hara-

Hapuku, a he tangata oha ki te iwi he tangata

ranei, he tangata oha a Te Hapuku kia ratou. Kia
ora koutou e te Pakeha, he whakapai atu tenei naku
kia koutou. Heoi ano aku kupu. Ka tu a Meiha
Wita ka mea, a ko Tiema Mata ano te kai-whaka-
maori. E pouri tahi ana tatou mo te matenga o Te
Hapuku, he tangata manaaki aia ki te ope haere, he
tangata toa aia. E mea ana ahau, ka pai ano kia

ei te mea ka tohe te Ruhia, kia tukua mai ana kaipuke
huaki i a tatou kaipuke uta taonga, tera ano etahi o a
tatou kaipuke e raru, i te mea hoki, kahore kau he kaipuke
manuao o Ingarangi i tino tini noa i enei moana, hei pata

Pakeha e wareware ki nga kupa a Ruhia raua ko te iwi o

i whakaae ai i nga tau i mua, i te mea i kii aua kupu a

RUSSIA IN THE PACIFIC.
It is sufficiently remarkable that whenever any serious
misunderstanding arises with Russia we hear that all pre-
parations have been made to prey upon our commerce in
the Pacific : that arrangements have been entered into for
the equipment of privateers in American ports, and so
forth. So consistent are these announcements that we
incline to look upon them as a part of the systematic
game of political " poker :' which Russia has so success-
fully played for two years past at our expense. But for
that very reason we ought neither to be deluded nor allow
ourselves to be injured when we are thus forewarned.
There can be no doubt that if war does occur, we could
be considerably damaged iu the Pacific Ocean by Russian
cruisers, if their commanders chose to run such risks as
no English captain would shrink from when he saw a
good chance of injuring the enemy. At present we are
not strong enough in the Pacific for the interests we have
to protect. Nor must it be forgotten that there exists
between Russia and Japan certain stringent engagements
which at the commencement of a struggle would very
possibly tell against us. These are points altogether-
trifling as regards our main policy, but they should not
be overlooked in a general survey of the situation. The
heavy expenditure incurred at Petropaulovski, and the
obvious wish to stand well with China and Japan, ought
to convince us that, so far as adequate preparation for
contingencies can secure her interests, Russia at any rate
does not intend to be taken at a disadvantage. The
threat of fitting out privateers in America is interesting
as showing the amount of importance which Russian.
journalists and diplomatists attach to the Declaration of
Paris. Indeed, as the Russians now contend that the
Treaty of Paris is torn up, it is difficult to see what

remains, from their point of view, of the declaration
itself, which is merely an informal document attached to
the Treaty. They are well aware, however, that two can
play at the game of privateering, and that the first
" privateer " which issued from an American port would
be the signal for such reprisals as would daunt the
courage of any European Power whose alliance Russia
may be bargaining for at the present time.—Pall Matt
Gazette.
NGA POOTI MAORI.
E ki ana te nupepa te Katapere Perehi E penei ana te

tangata Maori, ki te mea he whenua ta te tangata Maori,
a he Karauna Karaati to taua whenua, ka kiia e taua
Maori kia tuhia tana ingoa ki te pukapuka whakamana

rauna Karaati. A tetahi pooti ano a taua tangata ra ano,
e tika ana aia kia pooti i te Mema Maori mo te Paremata,
ka rua ai ana pooti. A i enei ra, e kiia ana, kia nui ake
he Mema Maori ki te Paremata, a kia whitu Mema Maori
ki te Paremata. A ki te mea ka kiia te tikanga a Kawana
Kerei mo te pooti hei Ture, penei ka pooti nga Maori
katoa mo nga Mema Pakeha mo te Paremata. A ki te
mea ka ki te Maori kia riro ki ia ratou tangata e pai ai
hei Mema mo te Paremata, he tokomaha ke atu no nga
Maori i etahi takiwa i te tini o te Pakeha, a ma reira e
riro ai te pooti ki ta te Maori tangata e pai ai. A ma
reira e rua ai he pooti ma te Maori. He mea hoki ka
pooti ratou i ta ratou Pakeha e pai ai hei Mema mo te

ka pooti te Pakeha mo era e tu ai "nei Mema ki te Pare-

MAORI VOTING.
The Canterbury Press says :—" The provisions of his
Sir George Grey's) new law for the reform of the fran-
chise were described in these words: That every male
adult who has resided for a period of twelve months
within an electoral district shall have a vote in that dis-
trict to return its representative, and that no man shall )
have more than one vote He should have said no white
man. For there is to be an exception in favour of the
Maoris. They have two votes now, and are still to have
them. Every Native who has a freehold, leasehold, or
household qualification, as provided by the Constitution
Act, can have his name placed on the electoral roll of the
district, and in addition he enjoys the right of voting in
the election of a purely Maori representative. These
privileges are now to be largely extended. In the first
place the number of Maori members is to be increased
from four to seven ; and secondly, the operation of man-
hood suffrage will confer the right of voting in Parlia-
mentary elections, not only on those Natives who are
qualified in the regular way. but on all Natives whatever.
Every adult Maori in an electoral district will have a vote
in virtue of being a man and a resident. In some places
the Native voters will be numerous enough, if they
choose to exert their power, to swamp the settlers. And
having assisted to return members by means of the
franchise which they share with the colonists, they will
proceed to return seven more by the exercise of a second
franchise which they keep exclusively to themselves.
Why the Maoris should be held entitled to these extra-
ordinary advantages we are at a loss to understand."
NGA KORERO O NEHE, ME TE KAUHAU
TATAKU I NGA IWI I INGARANGI.
(UPOKO 2.)
HE mea pai ano pea, kia haere atu nga iwi Romana
ki te Motu i noho ai nga tupuna a te Pakeha Ingarihi
a kia riro i te Romana te tikanga o te mahi o nga mea
o tana Motu, i te mea hoki he iwi mahi kino aua
tangata o taua Motu i aua ra, a ua te Romana i ako te
iwi Maori o taua Motu ki te mahi e kore ai e tahuna
oratia te tangata, te wahine, te tamariki, hei kai horo-
horonga ma a ratou atua.
I aua ra e noho kino nei te iwi Pakeha i te Motu i
Ingarani, he iwi nui, he iwi toa te iwi Honiana, i te
mea hoki, kua whawhai taua iwi Romana ki nga iwi
katoa, ki te taha ki te hauauru o Oropi katoa, a kua
noho mokai aua iwi i aua ra ki te Romana. A he
mea hoki, na te iwi Maori o te Motu i Ingarangi i
tautoko, ara i haumi te taua patu a tetahi o aua iwi, i
ta ratou whawhai ki te Romana, koia a Hiha te Epara
me te toa arahi i te ope taua a te Romana i rere ai runga
i ana kaipuke ki te Motu i Ingarangi, ki te patu aua
iwi o Ingarangi, mo ta ratou whakahoa ki nga iwi o te
taha ki te hauauru, ki te patu i te Romana. A i aua
ra o Hiha i haere ai ki te patu i nga iwi Maori o
Ingarangi, kahore ano a Te Karaiti i whanau mai ki
te aio nei. A kia rima te kau ma rima tau i muri iho
o Hiha i whawhai nei ki aua iwi o Ingarangi i whanau
ai a Te Karaiti ki te whenua i Huria, i roto i te moana
o te Metitereniana, i te tahi taha o taua maoana, i Ta-
wahi ake o te wahi i ta ai te Pa nui a te Romana, i
Koma. A i aua ra i u ai te Homana ki Ingarangi i u
ratou ki te wahi i kiia nei ko Hehitinga; a e whakau
ana te ope taua a te Romana, ka reia mai e ana iwi
Maori ki roto ki te ngaru o te moana whawhai ai, a he
iwi haere a ika te Romana, koia i toa ui, tena ko te
ope a te iwi o Ingarangi, he ope marara noa atu, a
kihai i roa e papatu ana, ka whati te iwi whenua, ka
noho te Romana i uta. A ahakoa i mahi pa te Roma-
na hei nohoanga mo tana ope, ke mea huaki po e te
iwi whenua, a ka mate etahi o te Romana. A
tetahi raruraru ai te Romana he putanga no te
awha, a na te hau nui, i aki a ratou kaipuke ki
te toka o te moana, a pakara katoa etahi o a ratou
kaipuke. I te wa o te Romana e mahi hanga hou ana
i aua kaipuke, he mahi huaki tonu ta te iwi whenua
ki nga kai mahi o aua kaipuke patu ai. A i te wa e
riri kino ai te Romana, mo ratou e huakinotia nei i te
po ka tere te ope taua a te Romana, ki te aru i aua ope
huaki i teiwi whenua, ka kite teiwi whenua, i te Romana
ka haere ratou ka manu-kawhaki ia ratou, a ko te kainga
o te iwi whenua he mea mahi ki waenga repo tu ai,
he mea arawhata te repo hei ara atu ki aua kainga ka
kite te Romana i aua iwi e rere ana, tohu noa he tino
whati i te wehi, ka arumia e te Romana, ano ka tae te
iwi Romana, ki waenga repo, ka unuunuhia e te iwi

uruhi a nei hoki te ara i haere atu ai te Romana, e te
hunga i noho torohe a te iwi whenua. Heoi tangi
ana te patu a te iwi whenua i te Romana, i te mea e
noho ana i waenga repo, kahore kau he wahi e patu ai
te Romana, a he iwi taunga te iwi whenua ki te haere
repo. He roa noa atu te wa, a he tini nga tau a te
Romana i noho ai i taua Motu, katahi ra ano ka whai
wahi te Romana ki taua iwi Maori o Ingarangi. Ano
ka tae ki te tau 43, i muri iho o te whanautanga mai
o Te Karaiti ki te ao nei, katahi ra ano te Romana ka
mea, kia tino mahia e ratou te tikanga e noho pai ai
tana iwi o Ingarangi i te Romana te ako. He nui noa
atu te whawhai a aua iwi Maori ki te Romana, a he
iwi toa te tangata whenua. Otiia, he iwi mohio te
Romana ki te whawhai, a te iwi e rongo ana ki te tohu
tohu a o ratou kai arahi i te ope taua, na reira taua
iwi i kaha ai ki te whawhai. Tena ko te iwi Maori o te
tangata whenua, he iwi mahi pohehe, he huaki nui tonu
kahore he kai arahi i te pokai, he patu noa iho na ia ta-
ngata, na ia tangata, ehara i te mea, he mea kawe a
ranga a ika te ope huaki a te tangata whenua, he
haere marara noa atu, patu noa atu aia, aia o ratou, a
•koia ra te take i mate ai taua iwi i te Romana. Ano
ika mate nga iwi tangata whenua o te taha ki te tonga
o te Motu o Ingarangi i te Romana, a kua noho
hunga, ara, kua noho mokai ki te Romana, ka ahu te
patu a te Romana ki nga iwi o te pito o taua Motu
nei, ki te Hauraro, a ko te ingoa o taua wahi i nga ra
o tatou nei, ko Kotarana, ko te iwi ia o Ta Tanara
Makarini ma. A ko te ingoa a te Romana i tapa ai
ano taua whenua i aua ra, ko Karatonia, ka haere atu
nei te Romana ki taua whenua patu ai, kia riro ai i
te Romana te mana whenua, nae te mana tangata o
taua wahi. Nei ra he iwi noho tana iwi i nga pari, i
nga apiti, i nga toitoi o nga puke, o nga maunga o to
ratou whenua, ehara hoki taua wahi i te parae, i te
niania, he pari ngahere no te akau. A he iwi toa
nga iwi o Karatonia. Ka haere nei te ope tana a te
Homana ki reira patu ai, a he mea no taua whenua,
he repo, he titohea, kahore kau he rakau, he wahi ko-
hatu, a katore te Romana e kite i te kai, na reira te
Romana i kore ai e whai wahi ki aua iwi. A na nga
Homana i mahi nui te whenua i te moutere i Inga-
rangi i pakihi ai nga repo, i tua nga ngahere, i wha-
katupu nga rakau e kainga ana nga hua, a i mahi nga
maara witi. A na te Honiana ano hoki i hangaa nga
whare pai, nga whare karakia nao te iwi, e karakia
ana ki a ratou atua ki o te Romana. A na te Romana
ano hoki i hanga nga taiepa kohatu mo nga Taone e
noho ai te iwi, he mea hoki i mahia ki te ahua pa, ko
aua taiepa kohatu, i taiawhio katoa, a karapoti tonu
nga Taone i aua taiepa kohatu. Ko te tuunga kai-
puke i Towa, te Taone o te Pakeha i enei ra, e eke
atu ai te Pakeha o nga ra nei ana rere atu ki Wiwi, i
mahia taua wahi e te Homana hei tino pa mo a ratou
kaipuke e tau ai. A ko nga tino pa a te iwi whenua
ko Romana, te pa nui e noho ai te Kuini Wikitoria i
enei ra. me te pa i Ioka, i Koruheta, i Rikona, he
mea mahi e te Romana kia pai. A ko te pa, ko Ra-
nana i aua ra, he kaainga na te iwi kaainga i waenga
repo, a he wahi i tini nga whawhai a te Romana ka
taea e te Romana, - a he mano o te Romana i patua e
te iwi whenua, ka taea taua pa i waenga repo. Ano
ka taea tana pa, ka noho tahi te iwi whenua i te Ro
mana, a ka taka ki tetahi tau, ka oho te iwi kaainga i
te po, ka patua te Romana e ratou, a he mano, he
mano te Romana ki te takotoranga, ao ake ka tauria
ano e te Romana, ka taea, katahi te Romana ka patu i
te iwi whenua, a kahore he uri o te tangata kaainga i
puta i taua pa, katahi ka nohoia ano e te Romana.
He Taone ano na te Romana i tu i te wahi e tu nei te
pa a te Ingarihi o enei ra i Hata Arapere, a kotahi
pa Romana i te wahi e tu nei te pa Ingarihi o enei ra, i
Paata. E hara te iwi Romana i te iwi neho mangere,
he iwi ahuwhenua kite mahi, a na ratou i mahi nga
ara, nga Rori nui, ki aua tini kainga, e haere pai atu
ai te iwi o etahi Pa ki etahi pa. E hara i te ara kino,
Rori penei me enei Rori e mahia nei e te Pakeha o
enei ra, i te mea hoki i ahu mai i aua ra te mohio o te
iwi Pakeha ki te mahi Rori. A i mahi tahi ano te
iwi whenua i aua mahi hanga whare, me aua Rori, a
i ako ano te tangata whenua ki te ngaki witi, ki te
hanga whare, ki te tiri rakau e kainga ana nga hua,
ara i te rakau Aporo, i te waina karepe, i te puka
kapeti, i te kai o ana ra. He mea hoki i whakamania
ai taua iwi Maori e te Romana. Ko te kai a aua
tangata whenua i nga ra i mua atu o te Romana i tae
ai ki taua Moutere, he hua no te rakau Pakeha e kiia
nei he Oka, a he mea Kopiro te hua o ana rakau e te
tangata whenua ki te wai, ano ka poto te kawa, te
kakati te tae o taua kua, ka tu ai aua iwi ka kai ai i
taua hua. A he hua rakau ano tetahi i penei me te
Paramu nei, otiia he kai kakati tera, a he tini noa
atu nga hua rakau o te ngahere i kainga e te tangata
whenua. Koia te Homana i whakamahi ai ia ratou, i
te iwi kua pourangatia nei ki te Romana ki te ngaki
kai, kia kai ai te iwi tangata whenua i te kai pai, a
no reira mai te mohio o te Pakeha ki aua mahi tini
tini e mohio nei ki nga mea katoa o te ao. A ko nga
tamariki o te tangata whenua, i akona e te Romana,
kia kakahu i te kahu pera nae o te Romana kakahu.
A he mea tono aua tamariki o te tangata whenua, e
te Romana ki nga kura ako tamariki a te Romana, ki
reira ako ai i te mohiotanga ma taua iwi Maori o te
Motu o Ingarangi. A he mea ako ano etahi o te iwi
Maori o te tangata whenua, e te Romana hai hoia mau
patu, hei hoia ano ia mo te Epara o Romana, e hara i
te hoia hei hapai i te patu e ora ai ia ratau to ratou
iwi tangata whenua, engari hei hoia whawhai mo te
Kingi o nga Romana. A na te Romana i rongo ai, a
i ako te Ingarihi ki te karakia pono ki te Atua, he
mea hoki he iwi karakia te Ingarihi, ara te tangata
whenua o Ingarangi i nga atua Maori, a he tini nga
atua Maori o aua tangata whenua. A na te iwi
Romana i rongo ai te ao nei i te kupu tuatahi o te
Karaiti, i te mea i haere atu i aua iwi Romana te
ako tuatahi i te Kawanata hou o te Rongo-pai a Te
Atua. A i aua ra i ako tuatahi ai te Romana i te
kupu tapu a Te Atua, i pai atu etahi o taua iwi, a 1
tahuri etahi o te tangata whenua, ki te karakia i taua
karakia, a ko etahi i kino atu a na era i whakakino
atu ki taua karakia, i patu kohuru etahi o ratou ano
o te tangata whenua, mo ta ratou tahuri atu ki te kara-
kia hou a te Romana. Ano ka roa te mahi o te
karakia a Te Atua. Ka pai katoa tana iwi
tangata whenua ki taua karakia, a tahuri katoa ana
ki taua karakia, a mau tonu te iwi o Ingarangi ki te
i karakia pono ki Te Atua pono, a Moroki noa nei.

kaawa. E kore e tika kia pokanoa te Pakeha, te Maori
ranei ki te hanga ritenga maana ki runga ki toku whenua
he ingoa ano toku, he mana ano toku kei runga kei oku

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