E TE KAWAKAWA!
lETAHI tau kua pahure ake nei i a au e “tipi” haere ana i Heretamiga ka tupono au ki tetahi pahi tangata. Ite kitenga mai pea no Ngatiporou au ka ahu nga korero mo Ngatiporou. I mea tetahi o tana hunga , ko Ngatiporou te iwi P ai at u ° n £ a iwi maori katoa o Niu Tireni, te iwi tino kino atu hold. He tika tenei korero. No Ngatiporou etahi tangata mat an atu, no Ngatiporou etahi tangata pai atu, ko Ngatiporou tetahi iwi kaha kite tautoko ite whakapono. Otira e kitea ana ano no Ngatiporou etahi tangata tino kino rawa atu. I enei ra e pouri ana ahau no te mea he whakaaro toku kei te heke haere a Ngatiporou ki raro, ko etahi wahi kua tino kino rawa. I enei ra ka tae mai te rongo o te ngutu-awa o Waiapu i te tangata e haurangi ana ka ngaua te ihu o tetahi kaumatua e tetahi taitamariki, a riro atu te komore ote ihu ! Muri tata iho ka puta mai he rongo ke ano no Te Kawa Kawa ko Petera Houkamau kua kohurutia. Ko tetahi tonu tenei o nga rangatira o Tuhaka-iriora, he tama na te Houkamau. Kei te uiuia te matenga o taua tangata, he mea kohuru ranei he aitua ranei, otira kahore kau he tikanga o tenei i te mea e marama ana na te kai waipiro taua tangata i patu. I haurangi ate “Pohutu” i tetahi ra, aka ki nga puku ka .hokihoki kite pa, ka moe. Ite ata ka kitea a Petera e takoto ana i te taha tai, whara katoa te tinana, ko te mahunga i “pakaru.” Kore rawa he tangata i mohio kite matenga o Petera. He mea kohuru ranei,he taka ranei i runga hoiho ? Otira e tino mohiotia ana he hua no nga mahi haurangi ate Pohutu. He mea ata hua marie na tenei iwi he kai waipiro he mahi ma ratou, a ina ka whiwhi ratou ki tetahi o nga hua ota ratou kai; ka mutu ranei, ka mahi tonu ranei! I whakatupuria au ki Te Kawa Kawa, na reira i tino maraae ai taku ngakau. Kei te mohio tonu au kite wa i kore ai a Te Kawa Kawa e mohio ki tenei kai kite waipiro, kitea ana te pai. Ite timatanga o te whakanoho o te pakeha ki reira ka ngenge te iwi nei kite pai, ka timata te kai waipiro, ka haurangi ana, ka haurangi katoa, nga rangatira nga kaumatua, nga tamariki nga wahine, katoa, katoa. Kua aitua ratou, ahe aha ra kei te toe atu : ko te Whetu-matarau tonu pea kia whakahorongia iho e te ringa o te Atua. I tera tau i pauuitia e an nga korero o te hui a
te Pohutu, i puta ai aku k pu whakamihi mo taua hui, he hui kawanga whare-karakia. Ko taku korero tuarua tenei mo te Pohutu, hei titiro ma ratou. He whare karakia te tuatahi, he kohuru he haurangi te tuarua. Te mohiotia te tatatatanga o enei mea, tetahi ki tetahi. Na Tipi-Whenua, [ Kua kitea i muri nei ehara taua aitua i te kohuru. Etita.]
