NGAPUHI.
Ko nga korero enei o tetahi pukapuka i tuhia mai e te Wiremu kaiwhakawa o Waimate ki a te Kawanatanga, he whakaatu mai i tona haeranga ki Whangaroa, ki Hokianga, ki Whangape i roto i nga ra o Hanuere o tenei tau. E koa ana ia kite tuhi mai, notemea he tino pai o te ahua o nga tikanga kite taha maori i era takiwa o te motu nei. I tona taenga ki Whangaroa ka kite ia i te nui o te mahi kani rakau, tokomaha nga maori e mahi ana i taua mahi ma nga pakeha o reira, e titua ana e nga pakeha kite moni. He tikanga pai rawa tenei. Ko etahi o nga maori e hoki ana kite keri waro i runga i o ratou whenua. I Hokianga hoki, e nui ana te mahi rakau mete tokomaha o nga maori e mahi ana pera me Whangaroa, te nui koki o te moni e utua ana e nga pakeha ki a ratou. E pai ana hoki te ahua o nga mahi i Whangape. Kua tae atu tetahi pakeha ki reira, no Merepone, e mea ana kia hokona katoatia e ia nga rakau (kauri) o taua takiwa. Mehemea ka whakaaetia e nga maori, hei reira ka whakaarahia e ia tetahi mira hei kani. E whakaaro ana hoki etahi kite hanga i tetahi mira harakeke. Kia rite enei mahi, hei reira puta mai ai te rawa ki tera takiwa mo nga maori. Kua timata te mahi o tetahi mira harakeke ki Moetangi, i waenganui o Hokianga o Whangape. Mehemea e hiahia ana nga maori kite mahi, e pai ana kia haere ki reira kite tapahi harakeke mo taua mira. Ko nga maori o te Waima, o Waiheke e mahi nui ana i te waro. I kite ia i nga tangata tokomaha e hoki ana kite mahi pera ite mutunga oto ratou ngakinga mara. E ora pai ana a IMohi Tawhai te rangatira kaumatua, kua riro ia me etahi taugata kite hi mango, kia toru pea wiki e ngaro ana.
[Heoi ano nga korero o tana pukapuka, lie mea tuku mai nana kite reo pakeba, na matou i whakaatu Kite reo maori hei korero ma te katoa.]
