Te Makitaunu.
Ko tenei rangatira ko Te Makitaunu no Ngatitunohopu tona kainga, ko Ohinemutu, Rotorua. No nga ra o Akuhata i te tau nei, ka hoki mai a Te Makitaunu ratou ko nga hoa i Hokianga, ki Waima, Mangamuka, ki Waihou, ki hea, ki kea. No te taenga mai o tenei pu-whakaaro ki Akarana, ka rere te patai, "Heaha tau i kite ai i to haerenga ki era whenua a Ngapuhi?" Ka ki ake ia, "Ko nga mea i kite ai ahau, ko te kaha o tera iwi ki te whakapono, ki tenei, ki tenei kainga, ki nga wahi katoa. Tuariia, ko te whakatiitotaratanga o Ngapuhi, takitahi rawa te tangata e inu ana i nga wai whakahaurangi tangata. Tuatoru, ko te kalia o tera iwi kite manaaki i te tangata. To ratou matenui kite tangata heaha hoki i korerotia ai ? Nui atu taku whakamoemiti ki ta ratou mahi manaaki Tuawha, ko te ahua Pakeha 0 nga tikanga, nga whare papai, nga taonga Pakeha o roto, mete pai-marie o nga ritenga katoa. KLo te iwi tena kua nui, mete tika hoki, na Ngapuhi te whakapono i kawe-haere ko Ngapuhi te tuatahi, mete tika o ana mahi e noho mai nei." Ka pai nga kupu whakaatu mai a Te Makitaunu, ka pai tana putea-korero 1 whakarawea mai i Hokinga hei titiro ma tera iwi, ma tera iwi i Aotearoa. Tena e nga iwi, whaia te mahi tika a Ngapuhi e korerotia nei e Te Makitaunu kia puta ai ki a Ngatiranginui, ki a Ngatirangiora.
