A, kihei i roa kua uru noa ia kite Rongo Pai, katahi ka hanga whare ia mete whakahauhau ano ki tona iwi kia waiho tonu i tona whare he nohanga mo nga kaumatua. A, oti rawa ake taua whakahaeretanga ana, katahi ka powhiritia e ia nga kaumatua katoa ki reira noho ai ratau. Ko ia hei hoa awbina, hei whakatahuri mai hoki i etahi tangata maha, i mua atu i tana whakataunga kia haere mai ia ki tenei whenua ; a, neke atu i te 4,000 mano nga mema Maori o te Haahi kei Niu Tireni. Na, i te tau 1898 ka whakatau a Hirini Whaanga kia hoki atu ia ki tona kamga i wbanau ai, tetahi waabi o tona whakaaro ki a kanhau ia ki tona lwi, mete wbakaatu atu ano hoki kia ratau i te tikanga o tona Whakapono kua uru nei ia, me tetahi waahi ano o tona whakaaro kia kohikohi whakapaparanga mo tona whanau. He ahakoa ra ona tau kua 70 tae noa ki tona kainga i whanau ai, ka baere hoiho ano ia i runga i tetahi haere nui, pau noa i a ia te motu e kauhan haere ana ki ia pa ki ia pa ; Katahi ka waiata a Hoani Eopihana, he waiata Pakeha: ' Tukua tnai tou marietang;»."
