HATAREI, HEPETEMA 21, 1878
HE iti nga mahi a Te Paremata i nga wiki e rua
nei, he mea hoki i haere nga mema kia kite i te
mahi i te rerewe i Te Waipounamu. A i haere ano
hold a Karaitiana Takamoana, a Hoani Nahe, a Wi
Parata, a he nui nga mea i kite ai ratou, hei mahara
ma ratou, hei wawata i roto i te hinengaro. E rua
rau maero te roa o taua rerewe, a he tini nga taone,
he nui nga maara, he tini te iwi i nga wa o taua
rerewe i haere ai. He mea hoki ko te iwi, o Katapere
o Otakau, Weterana, huihui katoa, e rua tekau
ma rima mano tangata. A he iwi e ora ana i te kai,
tena ko te Maori o aua wahi i nga ra o mua, he iwi
kahore e tino nui he kai i reira, a enei tau e haere
ake nei, ka tino nui rawa atu he Pakeha mo aua
wahi, he tini hoki no nga mea hei mahi ma te iwi.
E ui ana matou he aha te take i kore ai te Maori e
mohio ki te mahi i aua tini mea pai nei ? Tetahi
take he ako na te Pakeha i a ratou tamariki ki te
kura, ki te mahi, tena ko te Maori, e kore e tonoa
katoatia a ratou tamariki ki te kura. A he ako na te
Pakeha i nga kotiro kia mohio ki te mahi tika i nga
mahi e au ai te noho a o ratou taane, me a ratou
tamariki i te kainga, a he horoi tonu na aua wahine
i nga mea e noho paru kore ai a ratou uri, e pai ai,
a e koa ai te ngakau ki te noho i tona marae. Tena
ko nga kainga Maori, ko te mahi a o reira tamariki,
he mangere, a e kore e korero pukapuka, a he tutu,
he amuamu, a e waiho ana e aua tamariki ko nga
kaumatua nga mea e mahi ana, a ko te mahi e
mahia e te koroheke, ko te mangere me te mahi he,
ma nga taitamariki tena. A ko nga kotiro Maori,
e kore era e mahi akoako ia ratou, kia mohio ai
ratou i te noho pai, i te mahi kia pai te whare mo a
ratou huanga. A tetahi he, he kino no a te Maori
whare, he iti, he papaku. E kore te iwi mohio e
noho i aua tu whare, e kore hoki e whai wahi e tupu
ai te pai, e noho paru kore ai te iwi. Ki te mea ka
mahi te Maori i te whare pena me. te Pakeha a ka
ako ratou i a ratou tamariki katoa ki nga kura, a ka
ako ki te mahi, penei ka rite pu te Maori, ki te
Pakeha te mohio me te nui. He mea hoki na te
kuare o te Maori ki o te Pakeha mohio i raru ai te
Maori i nga tini Pakeha nukarau. A tetahi he, he
kore na te Maori e wehewehe i ana whenua, me
wehewehe nga whenua, ki ia tangata ki ia tangata,
ma reira ka noho ahua Pakeha ai te Maori a ka
whiwhi ai aia i ana taonga ake, a ma reira e tau ai
te he ki te tangata nana ake te he, a e kore ai te
kino e rere e tau ki tenei, ma enei mea e tupu ai te
Maori, a ma reira e tino akoako ai te mohio ki nga
mea kuare, a e puta ai he kupu a nga Maori, kua
tupu nui te iwi Maori, a ma reira e kapi ai te whenua
i te maara, e kore ai e tu he te whenua, i te kai

Te Wananga
Published every Saturday
SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1878.
PARLIAMENT during the last two weeks has
done little, as the House was adjourned to
give the members an opportunity of going
South to celebrate the opening of the rail
way between Christchurch and Dunedin. The
Maori members, Karaitiana, Hoani Nahe, and
Wi Parata, went with the others, and must have
seen much to make them reflect. The line is 220
miles long. It is lined with cultivated or grazing
fields, and the country is spotted with towns and
villages, some of which are of considerable size.
In the two provinces of Canterbury and Otago there
are now—with Westland—about 250,000 people
living in comfort and abundance, where only a few
Natives formerly could exist. The number of
Europeans living in the country now is also small
compared with what it will be in another ten years,
and it will go on increasing every year as long as
there is land to be cultivated or coal and water to
drive machines for manufacturing the thousands
of articles that civilised man knows how to make
and to enjoy. How is it that the European can
accomplish these things and the Maori cannot ? It
is quite easy to understand it if any one pays a visit
first to an English village and then goes straight to
a Maori pa. In the one case he will see every man
at work, every child at school, and every boy either
learning some trade or ready to work in the fields
adjoining the village. He will see the girls all
being educated and taught how to manage their
husbands and their houses, how to make their hus
bands comfortable and contented with their homes,
and how, above all things, to keep their homes and
their children clean, healthy, and fresh. Let him
go to the Maori pa and what will he see there ?
Boys and men idling about and loafing away their
existence, with nothing to read and nothing to
occupy their minds now that they do not go to war
with one another. The old chiefs will work. The
young ones will only loaf about and spend their
time badly as well as ruinously to their health and
fortunes. The girls are not brought up in those
habits of neatness and order which make a house
clean, habitable, and comfortable. If they once
acquired these habits the whares and the style in
which they now live would become hateful to
themselves, and the noble character and high quali-
ties of the Maori mind would then have fair play.
Their children could at once take their place on an
equality with the best of the Europeans, and they
would find that those with whom they associated
were a very different set of people to the schemers
and loafers into whose hands—if they have land or
money—they are now apt to fall. One thing more.
The Maoris can never do any real-good for-them-
selves while they hold land in common. Let each
men have his own land, and do with it as he likes.
If he is industrious and willing to work let him reap
the fruits, and rise in rank, and power, and position
as his reward. If he is idle or vicious, let hira hurt
himself only, and not bring misery and ruin on all
his people. To give to each man his own share of
land, and to leave him to do with it as he likes
would be an immense gain for the Maori, for the
European, and for the country. The owner could
soon sell enough to buy tools and seeds to cultivate
the rest. Let the Maori ponder over these things,
and let the Maori members, when they come back,
tell the people what wonderful progress they have
seen in the South, where they are all Europeans,
and have no Maoris to block the way by holding
land which they cannot cultivate, and will not learn
to do so.

TE KORERO A TE MINITA MAORI KI TE PARE-
MATA MO NGA MEA MAORI.
Hepetema 17, 1878.
Te Hiana—He nui te pai o te ahua noho marire o nga
iwi o nga motu nei, a e kore pea e wheau ka ahua rite te
Maori ki te Pakeha. He nui te ahua raruraru o nga
mahi o nga hoko whenua, i te wa o matou ko Kawana
Kerei i tu ai hei Kawanatanga, he mea hoki kihai aua
whenua i mahia e te Kawanatanga, a he whenua ano i
kiia o aua whenua kei te Maori ano, a i kii tetahi Maori
he mea riihi eia nga whenua i Te Waimate i Taranaki. A
he mea kii te kupu ki taua tangata kia mutu tana noho
me ana kau i aua whenua, a na Te Kooti i tautoko ana
kupu. A ko a ratou mahi ko Kawana Kerei, he mahi, e
u ai te Maori ki te pai, e mana ai te Ture, a e roa ai ta
ratou mahi i nga mahi Maori. E mea ana aia a Te Hiana,
e iti haere ana te iwi Maori, a e kore e roa te iti rawa ai
nga tangata o te iwi Maori, he mea hoki i matemate ai te
Maori, he iwi tiaki kore ratou i nga tamariki i nga turoro,
i nga kaumatua. A he kino no te kai, he kino 110 nga
whare, he kai i te waipiro te Maori i mate ai. He nui ano
ia te mahi a te Maori i te karakia, i te mea kua hoki ano
te iwi ki te karakia pono, otira, e kore e tika kia mahi
tikanga te Kawanatanga mo taua mea nei. He pai etahi
mahi a te Whiti, i iti ai te mahi he a etahi o te iwi Maori.
A kua ahua iti, a kahore kau he haurangi o te iwi Maori i
nga ra e wha i tu ai te hui ki Hikurangi. A he iwi ahua-
ora taua iwi. E mea ana aia, me ki e te Paremata nei
kia kana te waipiro e kainga i nga kaainga Maori. E ono
tekau kura Maori, e ako nei i nga tamariki Maori o nga
motu nei. A e mea ana te Kawanatanga kia tekau ma
wha mano moni e utu ai te Kawanatanga i te tau mo aua
kura, kia tika ai he ako i aua tamariki. A e kiia ana, me
mahi he mahi e tae ai te tamariki Maori o aua kura i te
wa e mutu ai te ako kura, kia akona ki nga mahi Pakeha.
E mea ana aia, ko nga whenua i tukua nei hei whenua
kura, me mahi aua whenua kia puta ai he moni i aua
whenua mo aua kura. A e mea ana aia, me tu te Maori i
nga Huuri, a i nga Kooti whakawa, hei mahi i aua mahi
Huuri, a i aua mahi whakawa. E mea ana aia, me pooti
te Maori mo ana whenua Karauna Karaati anake. A kua
tata te ra e tino kotahi ai te whakaaro o te iwi Maori ki
te Pakeha. He mea hoki no te tuunga o Kawana Kerei
hei Kawanatanga a Tawhiao i mea kupu pai mai ai kia
Kawana Kerei, a mei kore a Kawana Kerei e tu hei Ka-
wanatanga e kore a Tawhiao ma e aro mai ki te Kawana-
tanga. He tini noa ata nga reta a Tawhiao ma kia
Kawana Kerei ma kia haere atu kia korero ratou. A nei
ake nga ra e oti ai nga korero i kiia i Hikurangi, i mea etahi
kupu a te iwi he hanga noa iho te Hui i Waitara, otira ki
tana ki ta Te Hiana whakaaro, he tino tikanga nga tika-
nga i kiia i Waitara, no te mea, e tuku tonu mai ana a
Rewi i ana kupu kia Kawana Kerei ma. A ko nga mahi
a Rewi, e ako tonu mai ana aia kia Kawana Kerei, a he
nui te pai a Rewi, kia mahi aia i te mahi hei pai ma ratou
ko te Pakeha. A kua tu te tima kaipuke a Rewi ma. He
tima taua tima hei uta i nga mea a te Maori e hoko ai ki
te Pakeha. A no muri iho o te Hui ki Hikurangi, ki
Waitara, i ahua mea ai te Maori ki nga Ture kia mana ia
ratou. A kua pai te Maori kia tu te waea i tetahi takiwa
Maori. A he nui noa atu te he a etahi kupu a te Pare-
mata nei, mo aua Hui i Hikurangi i Waitara. Kotahi
Maori i mahi he. a kawea ana e taua Maori ana taonga i
tahae ai kia Te Whiti, kihai a Te Whiti i pai ki aua mea
tahae. A tetahi ko te he a Te Whio, kihai aia i kiia kia
rere noa atu, he mea whakawa aia a utu ana aia i te rima
pauna moni, mo tana he. He nui noa atu nga whenua
kua whakaotia nga tikanga hoko, he whenua i mahia
e te Kawanatanga tawhito. A i ahua mahi he te
Kawanatanga i te whenua, he mea hoki na te Pakeha
noa iho i mahi hoko aua whenua i ahua raruraru ai,
E mea ana aia, kia kiia ano he Tiati o te taha Maori kia
maha ake, a kia kore e riihi, e reti whenua te Kawanata-
nga i o te Maori whenua, engari me hoko riro rawa mai te
whenua, ko te riihi me kore. A kua kiia kia kaua nga
Apiha Kawanatanga e hoko whenua. A me mutu rawa
atu te mahi hoko whenua a nga Apiha Kawanatanga. A
ko etahi o nga whenua kua hokona, ki te Kawanatanga, a
ki ano i ata oti rawa te hoko, me mahi ano era kia oti tika,
ko te wahi whenua i Rotomahana, e pai ana tera me naahi
hea nohoanga ma nga turoro o nga iwi. A ko te whenua
i Ohinemuri e kiia ana me hoko rawa atu tera. E ki ana
aia, ma te Minita Maori te whakaaro e mutu ai ranei, e
mau tonu ai ranei te mahi o nga Apiha o te Tari Maori, e
ki aua aia, ki te mea ka hoko te Pakeha i te whenua a te
Maori, ma te Kawanatanga te whakaaro, he mea hoki, ma
reira e pai ai nga wahi mo nga taone, me nga mea katoa e
pai ai te iwi. A ko te tono e tono nei nga Maori o te
Waipounamu mo a ratou whenua, me whakawa marire
era. A e mea ana aia, e kore pea e roa, ka kotahi te Ma-
ori ki te Pakeha, a ka kotahi Ture mo ratou katoa.
STATEMENT ON NATIVE AFFAIRS.
September 17.
Mr. Sheehan proceeded to deliver his Statement on
Native Affairs. He referred to the peaceful and satisfac-
tory state of the relations with the Natives, and the well-
grounded hopes that might now be entertained of gra-
dually elevating the Natives to a condition approaching
that oi! the Europeans. He referred to the very unsatis-
factory state in which the question of Native laud pur-
chases and surveys was when he took office. So bad was
this that he found large blocks of confiscated land left un-
touched, and apparently unclaimed so long that the Maoris
thought that the land had become theirs again. On one
occasion he found a Native driving cattle ou to the
Waimate Plains, which he alleged he had leased from
Titakowaru and other Natives. He (Mr. Sheehan) very

soon made that person aware that he was trespassing upon
Crown lands, and he was very glad to say he was upheld
by the Court. On the whole, he thought the management
of Native Affairs previously showed a want of nerve and
firmness and he thought he would be able to show that
the present Government had so acted as to restore the con-
fidence of the Natives in the Legislature, and generally 1
to show the House that the conduct of the present Go-
vernment had been such as to justify the belief that they
were worthy of being still trusted with the management
of Native Affairs. He quoted statistics to show that the
Maori race was slowly but surely approaching extinction.
Since 1874 the race had decreased by 1,966 persons. He
attributed this to the want of proper care for the very
young, and the neglect of their old and their poor ; their
diet and habitations, their indulgence in liquor, and their
well-known communistic habits and depraved way of
living. A hopeful sign, as against all this, was the fact
that the half-caste WPS of superior physique to either the
Maori or the European. There was also a considerable
revival in the direction of religion, he having seen four
different forms of worship being observed going on at the
same time in one enclosure. But this was a matter the
Government should not interfere with. The good effects
of this had been seen in the influence of Te Whiti in
restraining the voilent propensities of some of the
Natives. Exceedingly hopeful, too, was the decrease in
the taste for strong drink. During the four days of the
Hikurangi meeting not a single Maori was drunk, and the
consequence was a general improvement in their appear-
ance. The Maoris were healthier, better dressed, and alto
gether the hapu presented a very satisfactory : appearance.
He would not prevent Maoris obtaining a glass of liquor
In the European settlements, but the Government would
ask the assistance of the House to prevent the use of
alcoholic liquors in the Native settlements. As to
education, there were 60 schools, with an attendance
of over 2,000 children. The Government proposed
to spend £14,300 this year on Native schools by
raising the price of teachers so as to get a better
quality. It was also proposed to extend the system of
boarding-schools for native children, because when a Maori
boy left school and went back to his tribe, what was there
before him but to take up and follow the ways of his tribe?
He strongly deprecated the action of religious bodies in
regard to large trusts of land. From the way in which
these bodeis neglected their duty in these matters, it was
time the State interfered to compel them either to make a
proper use of these trusts or to give them^back to the State.
He proposed that Maoris should be enabled to sit as jurors
in Courts of Justice. Respecting representation, he
thought it would be better to confine the Maori right to that
of freehold only. He believed they were now on the eve oi
a final completion and permanent settlement of peaceful re-
lations with the natives. He referred to the negotiations
with the Maori King, saying that it was the accession to
office of Sir George Grey which led to the re-opening o:
negotiations, and but for that there would have been n<
negotiations. For days and days after they took office
invitations to meet the King perpetually poured in upon
them There was now an absolute certainty that the pro
posals made at Hikurangi would be accepted, and would
be made the basis of a permanent arrangement with the
Kingites. The result of the Waitara meeting was ridi
culed in some quarters, but he ventured to say that th
Waitara meeting was the keystone of the arch, and, as
proof he gave several instances of actions of cordiality
on the part of Rewi, showing his anxious desire to work
in harmony with the Europeans. Ever since, neither he
nor his people undertook anything of importance without
telegraphing to the Premier or himself. Then he could
point to the steamer built solely for the Maori trade, as
owned by Rewi and other influential chiefs. A noticeable
effect of the recent Native meetings with Ministers, we

TE TURE E POOTI AI TE IWI.
Akuhata 22, 1878.
Hori Karaka Tawiti : E hoa e te Tumuaki, e tautoko
ana ahau i te wahi o te Pira a te Kawanatanga i rongo ai
matou. Kua huihui matou nga mema Maori, a he rapu-
rapu ta matou i te tikanga mo nga mea i kiia mai e o
matou kai pooti, a i tae ake ano hoki etahi rangatira Ma-
ori ki ta matou korero. A e rite pu ana te Pira a te
Kawanatanga ki ta matou i mohio ai. E mea ana matou,
he tika ano kia pooti ano te Maori i taua pooti motuhake.
Ehara hoki taua pooti i te mea, i ahu atu ia matou anake

whenua, me tuhituhi rawa o matou ingoa, ka pooti ai, e
tautoko ana matou i te wahi o te Pira kua kitea e matou,
kahore kau a matou kupu mo tera. E korero ana matou
mo taua Pira katoa, mei mohio matou ki nga korero katoa
o taua Pira. " A e mea pu atu ana ahau ki te Paremata
nei, e tino hiahia ana matou kia kiia ano he mema Maori
ano mo te Paremata nei. He noi noa atu hoki nga kupu
a Taiaroa ki te Paremata nei mo aua mema Maori hou.
A o tino hiahia ana matou nga mema Maori kia whaka-
aetia mai taua tono. Kua whakaaetia hoki taua tono e
nga Kawanatanga kua hingahinga nei, a e mea atu ana
matou kia whakaae mai tenei Kawanatanga ki taua tono,
ki te mea e whakahe ana etahi o nga mema o te Paremata
nei ki taua tono a matou, me ki e aua mema nga take i
whakahe ai ratou, hei tenei tau ano ka korero ai i a ratou
take whakahe. A rae ki e aua mema te take i kore ai
ratou e pai kia tu te Maori hei mema mo te Paremata nei
E mea ana matou, ko te Maori .nga tamariki potiki a te
Kuini Wikitoria. A he tamariki pu matou na te Kuini
Ahakoa te he a etahi o matou, kua whiua e te Kuini e to

a matou kai pooti, me pooti matou te Maori mo nga mema
Maori, a me pooti matou nga mea kia tu o matou ingoa ki

He mea hoki, he Maori matou, he tamariki matou, he
tuakana, he teina, he matua, he tamaiti. E whakaae ana
matou, me pooti ano te Pakeha, me pooti ano te Maori
A e mea ana ahau, kaua aua Pira e tukua mai ki nga ti
kanga o enei ra, ki te mea mo te Maori anake nga tikanga
o te Pira, kiia mai. Heoi ano aku kupu, e tautoko an
ahau i te kupu a Taiaroa.
Taiaroa: He kupu ano aku mo te Pira pooti a te iwi
E kore ahau e korero i nga tikanga katoa o taua Pira, ka
aku kupu ka korero nei, he kupu mo te upoko 18 o taua
Pira. He kupu hoki aua kupu mo te Maori. E mea ana
ahau, he upoko tika tana upoko mo te Maori. He tini
nga tau o te Maori i tohe ai kia nui ake he mema Mac
ki te Paremata nei. E whakahe ana hoki te Pakeha
nga pooti e rua e pooti nei te Maori. A he mema Maori
ahau he mea pooti ahau e nga Maori o te Waipounamu
A ko te mema Pakeha mo te takiwa ki Waikouaiti,
mea pooti e te Pakeha, a e nga Maori ano hoki i pooti
kia au. A na ratou ano hoki i pooti te mema mo Kaiapoi
A na nga Maori anake te pooti kia au, a ko a aua mema

hoki ahau na nga Maori o Merepana i pooti.
mema mo taua takiwa. Koia na te take i kii ai aha
aku kupu mo te pooti e rua nei pooti a te Maori. A kua
huihui ratou nga mema Maori, a kua whakaae matou ]
kotahi ano pooti ma te Maori, otira ko nga Maori 1
hoko whenua i Te Kawanatanga, e utu reeti ana rat
me pooti ano aua tangata, otira me nui ake he mema
Maori mo te Paremata nei. He Maori ano he whenua a
ratou ake, a he Maori ano kua hoko whenua i te Kawana-
tanga, a e utu reeti ana ratou. E kii ana a etahi mema o te
Paremata nei, e he ana kin noho te mema Maori i te Pare-
mata nei. A kua rongo ano ahau i taua kupu ano e
korerotia ana e te iwi. E he ana i au aua kupu. He
mea hoki naku e tika ana, kia tu he mema Maori ki te
Paremata nei, no te mea he tika kia haere mai ratou ki te
korero i nga mate o te iwi Maori ki te Paremata o te iwi.
A tetahi take i mea ai ahau, kia nui ake he mema Maori
ki te Paremata' nei. He tini nga hapu Maori i nga mota
nei, a kahore kau he mema Maori o aua hapu i te
Paremata nei. A e kore nga mema o te Pare-
mata nei e tae ki aua hapu, e mohiotia ai nga he a
aua iwi. A ko aua iwi nei, e kahore nei he mema mo ana
hapu, a e kore aua hapu e mohio ki tenei mea ki te Pare-
mata. A e kore ano hoki ratou e mohio mo ratou ranei
aua Ture e mahia nei e te Paremata nei. A e kii ana aua
hapu, ko nga iwi i tu he mema mo ratou, mo aua iwi
anake nga Ture i mahia e te Paremata. A e kore hoki
ratou e mohio mo ratou katoa aua Ture. E mea ana ahau,
he tika kia kiia nga kupu a aua iwi ki te Paremata nei. A
he tini nga mea o te Pira nei e korero ai ahau, otiia e
kore ahau e korero i era. E mea ana ahau, e he ana i au
te pooti wahine, ko ehea wahine nga wahine e kiia nei
kia pooti ? E he ana i au, kia haere mai te wahine ki konei
ki te mahi Ture ma te iwi. Heoi ano he mahi ma ratou
ko te pooti anake i te mema. E mea ana ahau, e koro nga
mema o te Paremata nei, e pai kia noho tahi te wahine i
to ratou taha korero ai, A ki te mea ka noho te wahine
marema hei mema mo te Paremata nei, a ka noho atu tana
taane i te kainga, a e mea ana ahau, ka he nga mema i
taua wahine, ara ka noho taua wahine i waenganui o nga
mema e rua, ka raru aua mema e noho tahi ra i taua wa-
hine ma reira e kore ai he mahi mo te Paremata nei, a e
kore, aihe mahi e mahi ai te Paremata nei.
Akuhata 23.
Hoani Nahe ; ka rua nga ra o te Pira pooti a te iwi i
korerotia ai e te Paremata nei, a e whakahe ana etahi ki
nga pooti e rua nei pooti a te Maori, ara mo te pooti e
pooti nei nga Maori mo nga Mema Maori a e pooti nei
hoki etahi o te iwi Maori mo nga mema Pakeha o te Pare-
i mata nei. E tika ana ranei, e he ano ranei ? Kahore aku
mohio ki tera. E mea ana ahau, he wehi he te wehi a te
i Pakeha, ki aua Pakeha, ki aua pooti e rua a te Maori, e
hara hoki i to mea na aua pooti Maori, i kiia ai aua mema
3 Pakeha kia riro ki te taha Maori anake. Heoi pea te mea
e rere ke ai, ma te pooti a nga Maori e tu ai pea te Pakeha
e pangia ana e te Maori, a e kore ai pea e tu te mema i
paingia e te Pakeha. E kore hoki te mema Pakeha i pooti
ai te Maori, e mahi i to mahi e he ai te Pakeha i te Maori.
E kore ahau e pai kia koro aua pooti e rua a te Maori, he
mea hoki he ako tera i te Maori kia mohio matou ki a te
Pakeha mohio, a kia kii ai to iwi Maori, e tautoko ana aua
o mema Pakeha i nga mea he pai ma te iwi Maori. Ki te
mea ka kiia kia homai ano he mema Maori ano mo te Pa-
remata nei, ko reira ahau ka tu a hopohopo ai ki aua pooti
e rua ma te Maori. Otira ma reira poa e kore ai e kiia he
iwi kotahi te Maori me te Pakeha, Na reira ahau i mea
ki ai, kaua te Paremata nei e pouri ki aua pooti e rua a te
Maori. Kaua e mea, he nui no aua mahi, waiho hei pai
ma te Maori, e tatu ai te whakaaro, a hei ako i te iwi Ma-
ori. E mea ana ahau, e toru wehinga o nga iwi o nga
motu nei, he Maori, he Pakeha, a ko tetahi ano hoki, wa-
iho nga tikanga kia takoto, kia mea ai taua iwi Maori, e
mahi ana te Pakeha mo ratou. A ki te mea ka mahia
hetia taua mea nei, penei, ka kata tetahi iwi Maori, ki
te tetahi iwi Maori. E mea ana ahau e tika ana kia noho te
Maori hei Huuri, i nga mea e pa ai te Maori. E tautoko
ana ahau i te Pira pooti a te iwi. E kore ahau
e korero i etahi o nga tikanga o taua Pira, he

TE WHENUA I MANGAHOE, I TE WAIPOUNAMU.
Taiaroa: He patai na Taiaroa ki te Minita Maori, he ui
nana, mehemea, kua mea te hiahia o te Kawanatanga kia
mahia he Ture, e mahia ai te whenua i Mangahoe, he mea
hoki nana na Taiaroa, kua tekau ona tau i mahi ai i taua
whenua kia Karauna Karaatia, a kahore noa ake i oti.
A ko taua wahi kei waenganui tonu o te whenua, i aia ia
Taiaroa, a i mea te Minita Maori i tera tau, kua mahia he
Ture e te whare Ariki e oti ai taua whenua, a he u; atu
•hoki tenei na Taiaroa mehemea ka mahia taua Ture i enei
ra.
Te Hiana : Kahore kau he take e kore ai e mahia taua
whenua e te Kooti Whakawa Whenua Maori. Heoi ano
te take, he kore no taua wahi i tetahi takiwa kua kiia hei
takiwa e mahi ai te Kooti, otira ka mahia eia taua mea, a
ka tika kia mahi a Taiaroa ma i taua whenua ki te tikanga
o te Ture e kiia ai te kii o te Karauna Karaati ki taua
whenua.
NGA WHENUA MAORI I MAREPARA, I WHAKATU.
Taiaroa ; Ka mea atu a Taiaroa ki te Minita Maori.
1. Mehemea mea i whakaae a Ta Tanara Makarini, kia
tukua kia Ngatitoa, te whenua i te Takiwa i Marepara, a i
Whakatu, nga whenua e rima mano eka (5000). A mehe-
mea e kii ana tenei Kawanatanga kia mana ia ratou taua
kii a Ta Tanara Makarini kia Ngatitoa, me utu ranei taua
whenua kia Ngatitoa.
2. A e pehea ranei te tikanga o te Kawanatanga kia
Ngatitoa mo taua whenua.
Te Hiana ; Ae he pono ano i kiia i Akuhata 1864, kia
hoatu ki etahi o Ngatitoa te rua rau eka, ki ia tangata ki
ia tangata, o te hunga e rua tekau ma ono. Otira, e hara
i te mea i kiia taua whenua mo te Hapu a Ngatitoa. A
kahore he moni i hoatu mo taua whenua. A o taua hunga
I kiia nei ma ratou taua whenua, toko-whitu anake kei te
ora i enei ra, a ki te mea ka roa te wa o taua whenua nei
e mahia koretia ana, penei e kore e puta te morehu o aua
tangata i kiia nei ma ratou taua whenua. A kia mohio\_te
Paremata nei, he tika te kii, i whakaae ano a Te Makarini
ki taua whenua kia hoatu ma aua tangata, a ka whaka-
mana taua kupu eia e Te Hiana. A ko te kupu a Ngai-
tahu mo te whenua, ma te Paremata ra ano he kupu ako i
aia ia Te Hiana, aia a Te Hiana ka mahi ai i te kupu e
kiia nei e Ngaitahu mo taua whenua.
TE MAHI I KIIA HE MAHI HE I TE MAHIA.
He mea ui a Te Tatana, kia whakaae te Paremata kia
tukua atu nga pukapuka katoa, i nga korero o te mahi he
a te Maori i te Mahia, kia kite te Paremata i aua korero.
He mea hoki, e Kiia ana kihai nga Maori o te Mahia i pai
kia whakawakia te whakawa i reira. A me taa aua ko-
rero ki te Perehi.
A whakaae ana te Paremata.
PARLIAMENTARY.
ELECTORAL BILL.
August 22.
Mr. Taiaroa : Sir. I have something to say about this
Bill. I ara not going into all its details. What I would
refer to is clause 18 of the hon. member's Bill. This
clause refers to the Maoris. I think it is a good clause,
as far as the Maoris are concerned. The Maoris have for
many years been striving for an increase of representa-
tion in this House. The objection of the Europeans has
been that the Maoris 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 Maoris had two
votes. I am a member elected by the Maoris of the
Middle Island—elected by the Maoris. The hon member
for Waikouaiti has been elected partly by Europeans and
partly by some of those Maoris who voted for me. That
refers also to the hon. member for Kaiapoi. Those Maoris
who were registered voted for the honorable member for
Kaiapoi, and some of these Maoris voted for me. As far
as I am concerned the Maoris only return one member
and I consider the gentlemen I have referred to are only
half members as far as the Maoris are concerned. I have
also heard that the Maoris of Marlborough voted for a
European member of this House. That is why I approve
of the statements that have been made with regard to
the dual voting of the Maoris. The Maoris have met
and they have come to the conclusion that it would be
better that there should be one vote, with this exception ;
that Maoris who have purchased land from the Govern-
ment and are ratepayers should be allowed to have a
vote ; but that the Maori members should be increased.
Some Maoris hare 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
altogether to Maoris sitting in this House. I have heard
it in the House, and I have heard it outside. I object to
these statements that are made, that there should be no
Maori representation in the House. I think it a very
proper thing that Maoris should be allowed to come into
this House and state their grievances before the repre-
sentatives 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 ascer-
tain what their grievances and wants are, and these unre-
presented Maoris are not able to ascertain whether there
is a Parliament in New Zealand or not—they do not know
whether the laws that are passed here refer to their dis-
tricts or not. They only understand that the persons
who are represented have the laws passed that are applic-
able to them. They do not know that the laws apply to
every one. I think the voice of those people should bo
heard here, and that their desires should be made known
in this House. There are other matters iu 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 coming 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 is elected as &
representative, and leaves her husband at home, she will
probably lead the thoughts of the two gentlemen between
whom she sits astray. Therefore I think the whole pro-
ceedings of the House would be shut up.
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
|

TE WANANGA.
requests referred.to us by our constituents, and we have
been aided by other chiefs who are not here. The Govern- I
ment Bill represents 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 is from what we have heard,
and what has been told to us by Europeans outside—that
the Maoris should only have their own vote. We think
that we are conceding 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 registered
before they can vote. We support the portion 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 District 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 sitting on those benches to
agree to it also. If any honorable member objects to the
increase of the Maori representation, let him say so this
year ; let him state what his objections are against the
Maoris, and why they should not be allowed to be here.
We think that the Maoris are as the youngest child of
Queen Victoria. They are really children of Her Majesty.
Notwithstanding the mischief done by some of them, still
they have been punished by their Mother, and have returned
to her. Our views have been in the direction of the re-
quests referred to us by our 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 sous. We
have agreed that the Maoris 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.
On the motion of Mr. Murray, the debate was adjourned.
The House adjourned at half-past twelve o'clock a. m.
August 23.
Mr. Nahe—Sir, this Bill has now been under the atten-
tion of the House for the last two days. Objections have
been raised during the discussion to the dual vote of the
Maoris—to the vote that they have for the Maoris, and
the vote that they have for the Europeans. I do not
know whether that is just or not. I think the Europeans
are afraid, without any reason, of the dual vote which
the Maoris exercise. The Europeans who are elected by
ihe Maori vote do not sacrifice the interests of their Euro-
pean constituents. The only difference is that possibly a
different European may be elected through the Maoris
being put upon the roll. That European member is not
likely to advocate anything that would damage his Euro-
pean constituents for the advantage of the Maori. I do
not think it is right to put an end to the dual vote which
the Maoris at present exercise. The fact of their having
two votes tends to educate.the Maoris into the belief that
their interests are protected by the Europeans. If the
number of Maori members is to be increased, then I
should waive that point. But still, on that head, it may
be thought that it would be tending in the direction of a
complete separation between the two races. I therefore
hope that the House will not be dark on account of this
great privilege being continued ta the Native people. Do
pot think too much of it. Let it be considered as tending
in the direction of making their minds easy and educating
them. There are actually three parties in this colony—
two parties of Natives, and the Europeans are the third
party. Let this thing be as it is now, so that the other
party of Maoris may see that the Europeans are working
for their benefit. If this thing is worked harshly one
section of the Native race will laugh at the others. With
reference to the admission of Maoris to sit on. juries, I
very much approve of that in cases where Maoris are
concerned. I support this Bill. I am not going-into
details as to the rest of the measure, but support it
generally. It is a Bill of ours—the Government Bill—
and the House will be very angry with me if I attempt
to suggest any alteration in its provisions. My proceed-
ings in respect to the Te Aroha Block were taken excep-
tion to by members of. this House. Therefore I shall
support this Bill entirely.
DEAF AND DUMB ASYLUM.
Motion made, and question proposed, " That this House
is of opinion that the time has come when the Colonial
Government should establish au asylum for deaf and
dumb within the colony, and that provision should be
made for the same during the present session of Parlia-
ment.
MANGAHOE INLET.
Mr. Taiaroa asked the Native Minister, if the Govern-
ment intend to introduce a Bill to enable the title to the
Mangahoe inlet to be determined ? He had been for tea
years trying to got this title settled. This inlet was in
the midst of his land. The Native Minister said last year
that a Bill was passing through the other branch of the
Legislature which would, enable this matter to be settled
before the Court, and he therefore asked whether that Bill
was to brought down this session or not.
Mr. Sheehan replied that there was no legal difficulty
ia the way of having this matter settled by the Native
Land Court under the existing law, except that the place
where this inlet was situated was not in any proclaimed
district. He would have that difficulty immediately re-
moved, and then the honorable gentleman and others
interested could apply to have their titles investigated.
MARLBOROUGH AND NELSON LANDS.
Mr. Taiaroa asked the Native Minister,—(1.) If it ia
correct that the late Sir Donald McLean promised 5,000
acres of land in the Provincial Districts of Marlborough
and Nelson to the Ngatitoa Tribe ; and, if so, whether the
Government intend to fulfil the said promise, or compen-
sate the Ngatitoa Tribe for the said land ? (2.) What
course the Government intend to take in respect of the
claims of Ngaitahu to the said land ?
Mr. Sheehan replied that it was quite correct that in
August, 1863, it was promised that twenty-six of the
Ngatitoa Tribe should receive 200 acres each ; but the
reserves had never been made for the Ngatitoa Tribe, and
they had received no compensation in money. Of the
number, only seven were now living, and if the matter
were allowed to remain unsettled for a few years longer
there would be none of the claimants left. The House
must understand that a promise was clearly made, and he
should take steps to have it carried out. With respect
to the claims of Ngaitahu to the land, he did not intend.
to do anything unless instructed by the House.
NATIVE DISTURBANCES.
On the motion of Mr. Sutton, it was ordered that the
papers laid before this House having reference to the re-
fusal of certain Natives at Mahia to allow the Resident
Magistrate's Court to inquire into a charge therein referred,
to be printed.

E hoa e te Etita o TE WANANGA, tukua atu e koe taku 1
panui ki te ao katoa nei haere ai kia kitea ai, e nga
katoa i runga i te Motu nei, Maori, Pakeha hoki, kia rua
nga reo, he Maori he Pakeha hoki. Na, taku kupu ko Po-
ukaawa moana, kaua e pokanoa te Pakeha, te Maori ranei
ki te kari awa, hei rerenga mo te wai, kei" maroke a Pou-
kaawa. E kore e tika kia pokanoa te Pakeha, te Maori
ranei kite hanga ritenga maana ki runga ki toku whenua
he ingoa ano toku, he mana ano toku kei runga kei oku
whenua e mau nei i ahau, he wahi iti tenei wahi e toe nei
ko te Hauke anake, me waiho tonu tenei wahi kia takoto
Maori ana,-kaore he Karauna Karaati, kaore ho whakawa
mo runga i tenei whenua papa tupu i te Hauke, puta noa
ki Poukaawa moana, he taunga mo taku Ture Maori, he
tikanga tonu iho tenei naku tipuna, tuku iho nei ki a ahau
kia Te Hapuku.
E hoa e te Etita o te WANANGA tukua atu e koe taku
panui kia Ta Hori Kerei, kia whakamanaia mai, te Ture
Maori, otira e whai mana ana ahau ki te whenua. Me
tuku tonu nga panui i nga Hatarei katoa o te marama o
te tau 1878. He kupu tautoko tenei na te Komiti Kau-
matua mo te kupu a te Hapuku, e tika ana, ka rongo tonu
matou i ana kupu, kaua te Pakeha e pokanoa ki te kari
awa hei rerenga mo te wai, kei maroke a Poukaawa.
Ko te take kaore tenei whenua i Kootitia, Kaore i Ka-
rauna Karaatitia, he whenua papatupu tonu tenei whenua
ko Te Hapuku tonu te Karauna Karaati o runga i te
mana Maori takoto ai. He Ture tuturu tonu tenei mo
nga tupuna, tuku iho ki nga matua, tuku iho nei kia matou
ki ona uri i muri i a ratou, kaua te tangata e pokanoa ki te
whakahe i tenei Ture Maori, kua whakatuturutia nei e

Notice by me, by Te Hapuku, respecting the Lake
Poukawa, that it shall not be Drained after my
Death.
The following is a law made by me, by Te Hapuku, which.
shall be an unalterable law for my lands at Te Hauke which
have not passed through the Native Lands Court, and this
law shall be a law to all future generations.
Friend, the Editor of TE 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 snail not
be touched or meddled with by European or Maori, nor shall
anyone dig or make a drain by which the water shall escape
(from the lake), and thereby cause the lake to dry up. I
will nob 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 law. But I
have power over my own lands. Let this notice be published
each Saturday of the months of all the year 1878.
This is the word of the meeting of old chiefs in support of
the words of Te Hapuku, and it is true that we heard his
words that not any European should, meddle with or cut
drains, so that the water of the Lake Poukawa could escape,
and thereby drain that lake. And the reasons for his words
are these : This land has not been passed through the Native
Lands Court, there has not been a Crown grant issued for it,
and it is held by Native title, as he, Te Hapuku, is the sole
holder (Crown grant) of this land, and Te Hapuku is the
Native Maua 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.
