FEDERATED MAORI ASSEMBLY OF NEW ZEALAND (PETITION OF THE).

Presented by Mr. Tanner, and ordered to be printed.

[Translation.] To the Honourable the Speaker and Members of the House of Eepresentatives in Parliament assembled. 0 The Petition of the Members of the Pedeeateb Maori Assembly of New Zealand humbly shewethi, — 1. That your petitioners, the children, and all the descendants of the Maori people, of their own freewill, have acknowledged and bowed to the authority of the Crown of England since the year 1835; and, in the year 1840, by virtue of the Treaty of Waitangi, the whole of the Maori people of New Zealand were declared to the whole world as British subjects. 2. That your petitioners and their progenitors have since always desired to live in amity with the white people that come to settle in these Islands, as we have always had a desire to learn from them the way to acquire wealth and to live in peace. 3. That when Christianity was received by the Maoris they began to live in peace, and to abandon their old ways. 4. Subsequently they released all prisoners heretofore captured in battles and allowed them to return to their homes and people; and were moved by a desire to follow pursuits that would tend to improve their condition and their lands. 5. When the form of government for New Zealand was changed —that is to say, when Parliament was set up, in the year 1854—your petitioners and the Maori people could not understand it, and many apprehended evil for the Maori people. 6. In consequence thereof, some proposed to set up a Maori King, who, acting with the advice of a Council, should have power to issue instructions to all Natives touching the observance of the law, but whose acts and deeds would be made subject to the approval of the Queen's Government. 7. Many were afraid that the new Government would, by its work, deprive the Natives of their lands, and that was the reason why they united themselves to oppose all Native land-laws. 8. It was due to these things that the wars and other troubles arose which ended so disastrously to the Natives. 9. Since the Treaty of Waitangi, your petitioners and many other Natives have, in the MaoriPakeha wars, fought with the Queen's soldiers against our own relatives. 10. If these loyal Natives had not fought in those wars, the authority or sovereignty of and over New Zealand would have ceased long ago, and the white people would have abandoned these islands there and then. 11. In 1865 the Native Land Court was constituted to investigate and ascertain the owners of Native lands according to laws, customs, and usages of the Maori people. 12. The administration of the said Court has been unsatisfactory ever since; for the lands of the tribes and families have been awarded to ten persons, who, according to the laws of the new Government, are empowered to dispose of these lands as they like; and nothing has been provided to prevent them from misappropriating the tribal or family moneys. 13. Under this law, power has been vested in these ten persons to prejudicially affect their tribes and the tribal lands, and they have been regarded and have posed as the absolute owners of the tribal lands, and the real owners or tribes have been regarded as their dependants. 14. When the new Government saw the error they made by giving the tribal lands to the ten persons instead of merely appointing them as trustees, they passed, in 1867, a new law, whereby the names of all the owners were required to be shown on the face of the Court records. This prevented the ten from alienating the lands of the people. 15. Your petitioners submit that the Act of 1867 has been the best law which has ever been passed respecting Native lands. 16. In 1873 another law, different to the above, was passed by Parliament, and from that time troubles affecting Native lands began, and have since increased from day to day, 17. The administration of the Native Land Court is becoming more and more confusing and unsatisfactory. It injures, but never benefits, the people. I— J. 1.

18. Under the laws which have been passed since 1873, tribal and family lands have frequently been awarded to one or two individuals, who have been clothed with titles for the convenience of Pakeha purchasers and lessees. 19. This practice of empowering a single person to do whatever he pleases with tribal lands has been a complete innovation to us, because lands never belonged to one person but to the whole tribe or family. 20. According to the powers vested in these persons by Parliament, we have been debarred from dealing with our own lands. We are like sheep without a shepherd, being driven hither and thither. 21. That the laws of Parliament have made us appear an ignorant and inferior people ; and the Native Land Court has ignored the existence of the rights of the chiefs; and the Natives generally have been dispersed, and those who had homes have been deprived of them. 22. Your petitioners desire that what land is now left to the Natives be managed in such a manner as would return to them and their children the largest profits, and that that management be left to the Natives themselves, as they are all anxious to cultivate and improve them, just as the white people do. 23. Your petitioners believe that the Natives are perfectly capable of taking care of themselves and their properties, if they were allowed to do so. 24. It would be too difficult to enumerate all our grievances, and the wrongs that we and our people have suffered in consequence of the laws hereinbefore mentioned. We have year after year raised our voices against them, but nothing has come of our protestations. 25. We cannot understand gentlemen of learning, such as those who are sent to Parliament to make just laws, allowing laws which prejudicially affect us and our lands to be passed year after year ; for it is said that their duty is to do that which is right, and not that which is wrong and unjust. 26. We have thought that it would only be right that Parliament should be informed of our grievances, and the manner in which our interests have been neglected; but we hear that little consideration-is shown to the Maoris, and our prayers only sound as from afar, and are treated as the murmuring of the wind. Wherefore we pray that your honourable House may be pleased to grant us the things following, that is to say : — (1.) That the right to manage our own property be given back to us ; so that peace nd happiness may reign throughout these islands. (2.) That the power to govern the Natives be delegated to the Federated Maori Assembly of New Zealand. (3.) That the said Assembly consist of an Upper and a Lower House. The Upper to consist of the chiefs by birth, (4.) And the Lower House shall consist of Natives who shall be elected by the different tribes to represent them in the Assembly. (5.) The said Federated Assembly to have power to appoint District Committees comprised of Maoris, who shall investigate titles to Native lands, and subdivide the same, according to the rules of equity and good conscience. (6.) We have annexed hereto a Bill which was passed at the meeting of the Federated Maori Assembly which was held at Waipatu on the 22nd day of May, 1893, wherein all that we require are fully set forth. And your petitioners will ever pray. Meiha Keepa Bangihiwinui (Major Kemp), and 55 Others. Countersigned by Henaee Tomoana, as Speaker of the Maori meeting held at Waipatu, in May, 1R93.

THE PEDEEATED MAORI ASSEMBLY EMPOWERING BILL. An Act to empower the Maoris to enact Laws in respect of their own Properties. Whebeas under the Treaty of Waitangi, one thousand eight hundred and forty, and also under a certain Imperial Act of date the thirtieth day of May, one thousand eight hundred and fifty-two, intituled " The Constitution Act of New Zealand," it was provided that the laws, customs, and usages of the inhabitants of New Zealand, so far as the same are not repugnant to the general principles of humanity, should be maintained for the government of themselves in all their relations to and dealings with each other, and that particular districts should be set apart within which such laws, customs, or usages, should be observed : that it shall be lawful for Her Majesty, by any letters patent to be issued under the Great Seal of the United Kingdom, from time to time to make provisions for the purposes aforesaid, any repugnacy of any such native laws, customs, or usages to the law of England, or to any law, statute, or usage in force in New Zealand or in any part thereof in anywise notwithstanding : And whereas, at a meeting of the Federated Maori Assembly held at Waipatu, on the eleventh day of April, one thousand eight hundred and ninety-three, it was resolved that the New Zealand Parliament be petitioned to grant to the Maoris a Legislature of their own for the purpose of governing their affairs : And whereas the Maoris are desirous of standing upon equal footing with the white people as far as perfect liberty of dealing with their lands is concerned : And whereas a petition signed by twenty-one thousand nine hundred of the chief people of New Zealand has.been presented to the Parliament of New Zealand, praying for an independent Legislature for the Maori people, to be called the Federated Maori Assembly : And whereas all the laws affecting the Maoris and their lands, especially the Native Land Court Acts, have proved unsatisfactory and unjust; and it is expedient, in order to relieve the Maoris of their grievances, to abolish the said laws, and to make other provisions in lieu thereof.

No te takiwa i tuturu ai ki nga iwi Maori te whakapono kia te Karaiti, ka noho ratou i runga ite rangimarietanga, kua whakarerea hoki nga tikanga o mua a te iwi Maori, ara no te urunga o nga rangatira ki roto kia te whakapono, kia te Karaiti. 4. Muri iho i tena ka tukua c nga iwi Maori nga herehere i man i nga whawhai i mua kia hoki ki o ratou kainga me o ratou Iwi, ka puta hoki i reira i roto i te hinengaro o te tangata te hiahia, ki nga mahi rapu tikanga, c puta ai te pai, me te ora me te hiahia ki nga main ahu whenua kia whiwhi kia ratou. 5.

No runga i tenei whakaaro ka mea etahi o nga iwi, kia whakaturia he Kingi Maori mo ratou engari kaore ratou i mea kia rere atu ratou ki waho o te mana o te Kuini, engari he mea ma taua Kingi me tona Kaunihera c hoatu he tikanga ki nga iwi o te motu c whakarongo ai ratou kite ture a ma te Kawanatanga o te Kuini c whakamana tana mahi. 7. He nui nga tangata i ngakau pawera, kei riro o ratou whenua i nga mahi a te Kawanatanga hou no reira ratou ka whakakotahi hei whakakore i nga ture whenua katoa. 8. I puta i roto i aua whakahaeretanga nga whawhai me nga raruraru i mate ai nga iwi Maori i roto i nga tau maha. 9. I roto i nga whawhai katoa o te iwi Maori ratou ko nga Pakeha i muri mai o te otinga o te Tiriti o Waitangi tae noa mai ki tenei takiwa, he nui nga Maori apiti ki nga kai inoi i uru kite taha o te Kuini whawhai atu ai ki o matou whanaunga Maori ano. 10.

14. No te kitenga o te Kawanatanga hou ara te Paremata i te he o ta ratou mahi tuku i nga whenua o nga iwi kite kau tangata a kaore i kiia hei kaitiaki noa iho aua tangata te kau mo te iwi katahi ka mahia tetahi Ture ke, ite tau 1867. Ko taua Ture i mea me tuhi ki roto i nga pukapuka 0 te Kooti nga ingoa o nga tangata katoa, no ratou te whenua me te tekau tangata ano, no reira kua kore c ahei taua te kau tangata kite hoko kite mokete ranei i te whenua o te iwi. 15.
