HE TOHU AROHA.
NO te o nga ra o Hurae ka tihorea te kohatu tohu aroha ki Riparata Kahutia. koka o Heni Materoa, wuhine a te Honore, Tima Kara, ki Te Kuri-a-Tuatai, Turanga - nui. He kohatu tino pai, he anahera kei runga rawa kei tona ringa maui he ripeka, ko tona ringa muai e tulii ana kite rangi, 14 putu katoa te teitei o te kohatu, kei te marae tonu o te whare nui o Te Poho-o-Materoa e tu ana. Ka 20 nga tau o te matenga o Riparata, ka tu nei i tanatamahine he whakamaharatanga ki tona ingoa. Nate Mea o Turanga i hura te kohatu, i tapaea hoki ki a ia nga kakahu, Maori me nga kara uhi o te kohatu. I puta nga kupu whakamihi a Taunere mo tona hoa mo Riparata i kitea nei e ia tona pono tona tika i ana hanga katoa. Ko nga tino korero nui ia na Kapene Taka, na - te kai-whakahaere ona whenua. I mea ia he uri rangatira a Riparala, rangatira te kauwhau, rangatira nga mahi, rangatira nga kupu. I kitea te matau o tenei wahine ki nga mahi kooti whenua. I nga wa o te noho kino o te whenua, i huri ai nga iwi o Turanga kite Hauhau, i u tonu a Riparata ratou ko tona whanau ko Ngaitekete ki a Kuini Wikitoria, a i tona noho tupato hanga ana he pa mona ki Waikanae. I mea a Wi Pere e tohu ana te ringa o te anahera kite rangi, he whakaupato ite tangata kia titiro kite rangi kei reira nei ate Karaiti, kei titiro ke ki nga poropiti o te whenua. 1 kaha nga kupu whakatupato a Wi kei aro atu te tangata ki a Rua, kite poropiti o Tuhoe, no te mea ko nga raruraru i puta ki Turanga i ahu mai ite takiwa o Opotiki. I whakamihi a Wi mo Riparata tona hoa riri kite pakeha. Me i tane ana aRi kua kore ia ake e tu hei mema i nga wa i tu ai ia hei mema, kua riro i tona hoa tona turanga. Na Te Tiatene i karakia te whakatapunga i te kohatu.
