KUA HOKI ANO KI TE MAORITANGA.
EH ARA 1 a matou enei korero e whaiake nei, engari he mea tango mai note nupepa pakeha ara no te Observer, Akarana I mea taua nupepa: I te mea ko Ta Wiremu Matini te kai whakawa tumuaki o JNiu lirem, i a raua e noho ana ki Akarana, ka. whakatupuria e tana wahine tetahi kotiro Maori hei tamaiti whangai mana, a i mauria hoki taua tamaiti ki Ingarangi. I tukua tenei kotiro ki nga tino kura nunui. I tona hokmga mai ki Niu Tireni e toru nga reo i monio i tenei kotiro Maori, i rite hoki tona ahua me ana tikanga ki tate tino wahine pakeha. I marena ia ki tetahi tino rangatira 0 Hauraki ko Nikorima Poutotara te ingoa, a i te rangatira o tana tane i tona pai ake hoki i whakanuia tenei wahine e nga pakeha o Hauraki me o Akarana. He reo reka kite waiata na konei i whaia ai te wahine a Nikorima e te pakeha Ida waiata i nga po waiata. Nawai ra ka puta mai te whakaaro kite wahine nei kia hoki ano ia ki nga tikanga hakurara a tona iwi. Ko tona matauranga ki nga tikanga pakeha i pania noalanga ki waho ote kiri. I mutu haere tona hiahia ki nga tikanga pakeha nawai ra kua kore rawa e whakapiri kite pakeha, ka whakarerea hoki e ia te tikanga whakakahu a te pakeha, ka mau ki nga potae o te tane, ki nga tiakete ki nga panekoti wherowhero, e tino pirangitia nei e te wahine Maori. Nawai ra kua rite tonu tona ahua ki nga wahine kahore nei i whakaakona ki nga tikanga pakeha, heoi ano e mohiotia ai he wahine tino matau ia ma te ohorere o tana korero pakehatanga, te pai o tona reo. He tokomaha nga Maori psnei me te wahine a Nikorima, e hoki ana ano ki nga tikanga a o ratou tupuna. He tokomaha n2fa tamariki tane e tae ana ki nga kareti, otir.i hoki ana ki o ratou kainga noho mangere ai. 1 tino inu te wahine a Nikorima i nga wai reka o te matauranga pakeha, otira whakarerea iho e ia hoki ana ano ia ki nga tikanga o te kainga maori. E kitea ana tenei wahine i nga tiriti o Akarana, otira e kore rawa e mohiotia he nui ake tona matau i tote tokomaha o te pakeha e popoke nei ki Kuini Tiriti. [Kaore matou i te whakaae ki enei korero katoa, ahakoa he tika ano pea. He aha ra hoki te take e hoki nei kite weriweritanga nga wahine pakeha ka mano nei nga tau i noho ai i roto ite matauranga ? Kahore rawa i teitei te takanga iho o te wahine Maori tena ko te pakeha he lino tei'.ei tona takanga ki raro. —Etita.]
