"NOHO PUAPUA I TE AO, HE AHA TE KAI?"
Ki Te Etita o Te Pipiwharauroa. TENA koe te haere na ki nga iwi Maori e JL noho nei i Niu Tireni, e man atu nei i nga rongo pai i nga rongo kino, a e whakaoho nei i te iwi Maori Ida takatu kia tumanako tonu mo te riri ka tata te taima; ina ra i kited' iho nei ki nga korero o te Pipi Nama 96 te whai-korero a te Pirimia ki nga tangata mo te aroha, no reira he whakatauki : " Noho puapua i te ao he aha te kai ? " Mate kotaha mate kotaha tu noa ana nga turanga i Kaituka ngaro Ririhape, e tu ki runga kei mate a tarakihi koe engari kia mate a ururoa, e pai ana he ika nui te mango e horo nei ite whenua." Tera pea ka patai te kai korero, me pehea te tu ki runga? ae, E pehea ana koia o koutou whakaaro ki nga whakahaunga a te tangata, e koingo nei tona ngakau kia taua kite iwi Maori, ka mate nei i te time Muru Whenua a te Kawanatanga ? Mehcmea e kore taua e whakaaro ki aua whakahaunga, ka tuturu tenei whakatauaki, "Noho puapua iteao he aha te kai ? " Eki nei hold ia me tino whakawhiti ki tawahi kite titiro i te Tiriti a te Kuini i hainatia; luarua, kia kohia he moni hei whakawhiti i tenei takakarua, engari ka hoki mai ano te uauatanga o te take tuarua ki a taua kite iwi Maori, penei ka mate aururoa tatou, tenako tetakatakanoaiho i Niu Tireni maumau (ka mate a tarakihi); heoi pea te tangata e whiwhi kite whakaaro ake ko Apirana Ngata. E kore enei korero e waiho hei patu tannga a kaua e tatu atu ki tetahi wahi hei taunga mo te whakaaro e taea ai tenei putake, ara, e kore e taea i te wa poto nei te whakahuihui nga iwi o te motu kia kotahi a kia korero .mo te take a te tangata e tangi nei kia taua kite iwi Maori. Mehemea he wehi to taua i te time nei ka taea noatia atu me pepi : (1) Me whakawhiti he tangata kia toru kia wharanei, (2) Me kohi he moni e rua herein ma te tangata kotahi. Me pehea ra tona mahinga ? Me penei pea, me whai komiti tena iwi tena iwi puta noa nga iwi e noho nei i Aotearoa ( mete Waipounamu ), ama aua komiti e whakahohoro te kohinga.o te moni, a ma te Pipi e tohu he ra tuturu e noho ai aua komiti mete ra hoki hei whakahuihui ite moni e kohia, mete tangata hei pupuri i aua moni. Ehara e te Pipi i te mea koia nei he otinga mo tenei putake, kei tau te mea pai. Heoi E. M. Kipa. Waimarama. 4/16/06.
