NGA HANGA A NGA TOHUNGA MAORI.
(E kore e tail te he Id te Etita mo nga korero tuku mai a nga tangata.) Kite Etita oTe Pipiwharauroa. EHOA tena koe. Tenei etahi korero, ma te Pipi e mau atu ki nga marae maha, hai titiro ma te mohio, ma te kuare ma nga rangatira ma nga ware. Ko enei korero, e rite ana ki nga korero i roto o te Pipi e korero nei mo nga mahi tohunga ara mo Karepa raua ko "Wereta. Me korero au no te mea i kite a konohi au i whakarongo a taringa mo Karepa o Waiapu. He pono ano ana mahi, te tahi wahi i kiteahoki e ia te whaiwhaia o Raukokore ko Ramari tetahi, ko Taitoko tetahi i whakaae raua i whakahoki i a raua mahi makutu. Ko te ki a taua Karepa na te Atua tonu tana mahi. kaore he mahi maori. I tae mai ratou ko tona ope ki Te Kaha, hui katoa taua ope e 50, no nga tangata o Raukokore ka eke ki te 100 te taenga mai ki Te Kahaka kiiae nga tangata o Te Kaha me tiki tetahi wahine rangatira i tona kainga. Ka haere ora mai te wahine nei i tona kainga, te taenga mai ki Te Kaha ka huri katoa nga tangata o Te Kaha ki te mahi a taua tohunga ki tona karakia ano hold ka uru hold te wahine nei ki taua mahi, no tona urunga ka porangi kino atu te porangitanga ; ka whakaritea e te tohunga ma. ona tohunga i raro i a ia e tiaki, heoi i roto i tona porangi, ka mahia kinotia ia e tetahi o aua tohunga. Kati he mahi pai ki taua mahi te pera inahoki kaore he pehea ma taua mahi kohuru inaianei. Tetahi ko nga kaanga a nga tangata whenua pau katoa i taua rau hoiho o taua ope kaore e herea, haere tonu ai i waenga o nga kaanga, kaore e aro ake, kua riro katoa nga whakaaro i taua mahi; ko te ora tonu tenei o nga Maori o Te Kaha he kaanga. Heoi ano na to hoa i roto i te whakapono. na Te Ngakau Pouri. Te Kaha, Hurae 6, 1904. [I rongo matou i peia enei kaumatua kite ngahere noho ai a mo te mate atu pea. E tino whakahe ana matou ki tenei tikanga, kite whakapono noa hoki o te tangata ki nga korero a nga tohunga. Kua rongo noa atu a Karepa he tangata a Ramari raua ko Taitoko e whakahopukia ana mo te mahi makutu na kona ia i whakapae ai ehara i te mea na cna
kehua paitini-hau i whakaatu Id a ia. He tika ano pea i mea a Ramari raua ko Taitoko he mohio raua kite makutu a i whakamatau pea raua kite karakia kia mate etahi tangata, otira e kore rawa tetahi puruhi e mate i a raua karakia ahakoa mate atu raua e karakiaana. Tena koa ina whakaakona tetahi tamaiti tetahi pakeha ki nga karakia makutu a tera pea e whakamatau noa kite karakia, otira ko nga tangata kuare anake e whakapono e mate te tangata i runga i nga karakia a taua tamaiti raua ko taua pakeha. Kei konei tetahi wahine no te uinga mehemea nana i kawe kia makututia tetahi wahine atu, whakaae ana, na ko tana whakarerenga e tana tane. He tika i meinga e tenei wahine kia whaiwhaiatia tera atu wahine otira ko te ki ma i ki aan na reira i mate ai, e rorirori au ina whakaae.— Etita.]
