HONE HERE, M.P.
NO te 9 o ga ra o Pepuere ka mate a Hone Heke ki tetahi hohipera o Poneke. E 40 ga tau o Hone Heke ka mate nei ia. I \hanau ia ki Kaikohe, i kuraina kite Kawa Kawa ki Oromahoe ki Tipene hoki. Ite tau 1892 ka uru ia kite Tari \Henua ote Kawataga i Akarana. Ite tau 1893 ka uru ia ki Te Kotahitaga o Waitagi, ka tu hoki ko ia hei tagata tohutohu mo te Kotahitaga i ruga ite ahuataga ote Tiriti o Waitagi. Na ruga i tona uruga ki Te Kotahitaga i ragona ai to Hone Heke igoa a ko taua Kotahitaga ano tona ara\hata i eke ai ia kite \Hare Paremata ite tau 1893 ara e2 3 ano onatau. Ko Hone Heke te mema Maori tino taitamariki atu kua uru kite Paremata ako ia hoki te Maori tuatahi kite korero reo Igarihi i te Paremata. He Apitihana tona turaga tuatahi i raro i a Kapene Rahera, i ragona ai tona reo e te motu katoa, ko ia tetahi o ga tino hoariri o Te Hetana, otira no muri mai ka rere ia kite taha Kawanataga ka heke tona reo ka mutu tona ragona. O tona turaga hei mema ite tau 1893 kore rawa a Hone Heke i taea te \hakataetae mate noa nei ia ara 15 ga tau i tu rrferna ai ia. I kaha rawa te mauga ote pooti o Dapuhi i roto i te kapu o te riga o Hone Heke ahakoa kahore ia i gakau nui ki tona pooti i tona noho tonu ki Poneke, kahore ia i hoki i etahi tau kite \hakaatu ki ona iwi i te ahuataga o ana mahi. Ko to Kaihau he he kore e haere ki Poneke ko to Hone he oke tonu i Poneke. E kiia ana he mokopuna a Hone Heke na te Hone Heke kaumatua ko te igoa ia o tona papa ko Dapua. He tagata tino matau a Hone Heke he tagata gawari te reo kite korero, ko tetahi tonu tenei o taua taitamariki tino matau atu o te Maori na konei matou ka mea " Moumou a Hone Heke kite mate wawe, e taea hoki te aha i tana mau kino tonu i tona tinana." Me i kore ana pea a Hone Heke i tu hei mema mo te Paremata penei kua maha ona ra, a kua nui atu ona paiga i tenei ao a tae atu ki tera ao. I te hariga mai i te tinana o Hone Heke ka tagihia ki Otaki ki \Haganui no te taega ki tona kaiga tupu ki Kaikohe ka uhugatia e Dapuhi tona tupapaku. Na Timi Kara i mau te tinana o tona hoa. Ko wai ra he taitamariki hei Miakakapi mo te turaga o Heke ? No te tamariki tenei ra. "Kapu te ruha ka hao te ragatahi. Mate atu he tetekura, \hakaete mai he tetekura." Tena koutou, e Dapuhi, i to tatou aitua!
