Te Waka Maori. TURANGA, HATAREI, MAEHE 29, 1879.
Tera pea e tu i tenei tau e haere nei he pootitanga mema mo te Paremete i te motu katoa, no konei ka perehitia e matou te korero kei raro iho nei no roto i te Taima nupepa o Werengitana nei, he mea na matou kia ata mohio ai nga Maori ki nga tikanga pooti kei a ratou e mau ana. Ivo nga tangata o ratou e whai tikanga ana e atiei ai ratou te p.ooti, me holioro te kawe i o ratou ingoa kia reliitatia ki roto ki nga rouru pooti ote koroni, ara kite mea kaore ano ratou i reliitatia i mua ai:— " I rite pu ki to te Pakeha te whaitikangatanga o nga Maori kite pooti tae noa mai kite tau 1867. I taua tau ka hoatu ano lie raana pootitanga ke atu ki a ratou kaore i tukua kite iwi Pakeha, he mea hui atu ia ki to ratou rnana pootitanga o mua ; ara ko te tukunga o nga mema Maori motuliake ki a ratou kite Paremete. Ara, na te ' Ture Mema Maori, 1567,' i aliei ai ratou te tuku kia tokowha mema o ratou ake ano kite Paremete; muri tata iho o tena ka karangatia kia tokorua nga rangatira Maori e uru kite Kaunihera, ara kite Whare o Eunga. Na, i taua tau, tae noa mai ki tenei ra, e rite tonu ana te mana pooti o nga Maori ki to te Pakeha, apiti atu ki o ratou mema Maori ka nui ata ai i to te Pakeha to
ratou mana pooti. Kite mea e whai, karaati ana tetahi Maori a ana ake ano mo tetahi wahi whenua e rite ana kite rima te kau pauna tona tikanga, na ka tika kia tono ia kia tuhia tona ingoa kite rouru tangata pooti o te takiwa i takoto ai taua piihi whenua a ana ; a he tokomaha ano nga Maori kua pera ano inaianei. Kite mea he tangata noho tetahi Maori i runga i te whenua i riihitia e ia hei kainga mona, ka tika ia kia tuhia tona ingoa kite rouru pootitanga. Kite mea e noho whare ana ia i roto i nga rohe o tetahi taone, a e rite ana tona whare kite tekau pauna i roto ite tau ; kite mea ranei kei uta tona whare, a e rite ana kite rima pauna i te tau ; heoi, me tuku ia i tana tono i te wa i whakaritea e te ture, a ka whai pooti ia mo tona nohoanga i taua whare. Kite mea e noho ana ia i te whare tangata, ka rite he' tikanga mona ki to te Pakeha i raro ite mana o te Ture o 1875. Kite mea he tangata keri koura ia, ma tona pukapuka ' Maina Haiti' e rite tonu ai he tikanga pooti mana ki to te Fakeha. Tetahi, kite mea he tangata utu reiti ia, ka mau tona ingoa kite pukapuka tangata utu reiti o tona takiwa, a ma reira e rite tahi ai to raua mana ko te Pakeha kite pooti i nga pootitanga mema mo te Paremete. Engari i whakaturia tetahi ture i kore ai e tonoa he moni reiti i runga i nga whenua Maori ake ano, ara i hapa ai i te tikanga utu reiti, no reira i kore ai e mau nga ingoa o nga Maori ki nga pukapuka o nga tangata utu reiti, he tangata kotahi noa nei te Maori e mau ana tona ingoa i roto i aua pukapuka. Engari he tini noa nga Maori whai take kite whenua i runga ite tikanga karaati e mau aua ano o ratou ingoa ki nga rouru pootitanga o te koroni, me nga Maori whai riihi, whai whare ranei; ko nga Maori whai ' Maina Haiti' hoki e pooti ana i nga whenua mahiuga koura. Na, ka kite tatou i kouei, kua kore e mate te Maori i te tikanga utu reiti e mate nui nei tona hoa Pakeha, ara taua tikanga e whai pooti ai te Pakeha ki ta te iwi nui o lngarani tana tikanga ; engari he nui atu te mana pootitanga kei te Maori i to te Pakeha, ara i ona mema Maori motuhake mona ake ano. Kite kore e pai nga Maori kia wehea o ratou whenua ki ia tangata ki ia tangata o ratou, kia rite ai ki ta te Pakeha take Jvarauna karaati, heoi, kei a ia ano te tikanga. Ki te mea ka tohe ia kia noho i roto i te whare raupo kopuha nei, teneti kareko ranei, kaua te whare e rite ana kite rima pauna ite tau, na, kaore ia e utu reiti ana i tena, e tika ana hoki kia kore ia e whiwhi pooti i tena ara. - Engari e ahei ana ia te rehita i tona ingoa ki roto ki nga rouru, pera tonu mete Pakeha, kite pai ia kia pera.
