Akuanei taunu ai kite nei mahi whanoke ate Kawanatanga o inatou hoa Maori e mohio ana ki tana tamaiti waimarie, ara nga Maori e noho ana i tawhiti, e kore hold e pa atu ki a ratou ana mahinga; tena ko nga mea noho tata ki a ia, ara i taua kainga, akuanei ratou pawera ai, ratou tahi ko nga Pakeha o reira. E tino moliio ana matou e kore rawa e taea e te Ka.vanatanga •te whakakite mai i tetahi take tikanga mo to ratou pananga ohoreretanga i taua tangata tawhito, taua tangata e manaakitia nuitia ana—manaakitia ana e nga Pakeha me nga Maori ano hoki mo tana ata i ana maH me tona manawanui—tetahi, ko te waihotanoa 0 taua tamaiti matauranga kore hei wliakakapi i tona turanga, he tangata hoki ia, taua tamaiti ra, kaore e whai mana ana ki taua wehenga nui o te iwi Maori ka tu nei ia hei Kai-whakawa mo to ratou kainga. He tino hanga noa iho te take i kiia mai e te Kawanatanga i whakaturia ai taua tangata, he wairangi noa—inahoki e ki mai ana he mea " whakaaro" na ratoa tera ia e "mahi talii i nga Maori i runga i te whakaaro kotahi, tera e pahure i runga i ana tikanga nga mahi nunui i nga takiwa Maori (ara nga rori, nga rerewe, nga aha noa atu), a kite mea ka puta le raruraru i runga i te whakahaeretanga o aua mahi, (tera e oti i a ia te whakaoti." Na, he tika kia ui matou, he aha te take 1 pera ai to ratou " whakaaro," to te Kawanatanga e ai ki ta ratou ki? 1 kitea ki hea te matauranga nui o te Kerehi kite whakahaereinga tikanga Maori, etahi atu tikanga ranei ? Otira, ka whano ka wareware matou. He tika ano, i kitea tona tino matauranga, i puta hoki tona rongo, i runga i tona ngakau takare rawa kite whakamana 1 nga unga katoa a Hose Hihana i a ia, me kite hapai i nga tikanga a taua tangata. Koia ano rapea tena he tangata tau ia hei kai-tuhituhi ma te Hihana, hei tangata mahi i n<*a mahi a te Hihana; otira, e mea ana matou e kore rawa e mana te " whakaaro" a te Kawanatanga i aia 1 tona tunga hei Kai-whakawa ki "Waikato, ki hea atu ranei. Kai te kore e pena te kaha ote " whakaaro" a Eewi, ratou ko nga tangata Kingi, me to te Kawanatanga mo nga mahi miharo nui e pahure i taua tamaiti tauhou ki te'whakahaere tikanga; inahoki tenei korero waea i kitea e matou 1 roto i n°:a nupepa, ara:— & Hatarei (Hepetema 7).

E pouri katoa ana nga Maori Ejingi o konei mo te tangohanga atu o Meiha Mea, inahoki kotahi rau kotahi te kau ma toru o ratou ingoa i tuhia kite pitihana e tukua ana kite Minita mo nga Ture. I koa matou i to matou rongonga e tuhituM pitihana ana nga tangata katoa o "Waikato, nga Pakeha me nga Maori, he mea inoi kite Kawanatanga kia ata wkakaarohia ano e ratou taua mea. He mea tino he ano hoki tenei, he mea whakakuare ano hoki i nga apiha Kawanatanga katoa, tenei tikanga pana ohorere i tena. apiha tawhito, tangata tika, kaha ki te whakahaere i ana mahi, i runga i te take kore noa iho—heoi te take, he mea kia whiwhi mahi tetahi tangata ke e paingia ana e te Minita mo nga Maori.
