mātou ki ā rātou nei kai a te Inia kiriwhero, ka mutu, ka haere atu ki tō rātou whare, he hōro mō te tākaro pāhikete paoro, mō ērā tū tākaro, me ētahi atu; ina te nui o taua hōro. I reira ka mihia mātou e ō rātou kaumātua, kanikani rawa mai hoki.

Ka mutu i konei, ka haria mātou ki tētahi kāinga nō tētahi Inia, ko John Artichoker me tana wahine ko June. I te ata o te Rāhoroi 15 Pepuere, ka hariharia mātou ki te mātakitaki i tō rātou Rāhui Whenua, i kite ai i te kaha o ngā iwi nei ki te kuhu i a rātou, ki te whakamahi i ō rātou whenua. Te āhua nei, he tamariki te nuinga o te iwi nei. Ko tētahi o te tira Inia o Āmerika ki Niu Tīreni nei, ko tētahi tonu anō o ō rātou koeke, arā, ko William Alcaida, he tangata pukumahi ki te hāpai i ana iwi o tēnei Rāhui. I te rua o ngā hāora ka anga atu tō mātou tira ki Phoenix, arā, ki Tempe, tau rawa atu ki tō mātou mōtēra i te hāpāhi o te whā. I te ahiahi, ka haria mātou e tētahi Pākehā, he tohunga nō te whare wānanga o reira tonu anō, arā, ki tētahi Mihana Kātorika, kei te Rāhui o Hīra. I reira ka whāngaia mātou ki ā rātou kai.

Ka mutu te kai, ka ārahina atu mātou e tēnei rangatira hou o mātou, a Mayland Parker, ki te hōro o te Mihana, kia tūtaki ai ki ngā tamariki o taua Mihana o Hoani. I konei ka kite mātou e mahia mai ana ā rātou nei kanikani, tekau mā toru rawa o aua kanikani i whakatūria mai hei whakatau i a mātou. Ka mutu tēnei, ka haria atu mātou ki tō rātou tino hōro, mō ngā tū tākaro maha noa iho, ā, i taua pō he pāhikete paoro te tākaro. Hei takawaenga, ka tū atu mātou ki te whakangahau hoki, ki ā mātou nei waiata, whiu ringaringa, haka tonu atu anō hoki. Ē! tino pai tonu mātou. Ka mutu mātou, ko tō mātou hokinga mai, e rua tekau māero, ki tō It was a happy occasion. Mr Henry Northcroft replying on our behalf, did us well. On the party's behalf also, a presentation was made in the form of a beautifully designed Maori kit. This was received by Mrs Veronica Murdock on behalf of the people. [At the conclusion of all formalities an opportunity was given us to meet and chat with the people, to mingle amongst them.] Later in the evening we were taken off to the home of a young Indian couple, Mr John and Mrs June Artichoker Jnr. [The husband was a Sioux and the wife was of the Kiowa tribe of the east.] The next morning, Saturday 15 February, we were taken on a conducted tour of this Reservation, so that we saw the industry and the progressive aspirations of these tribes of the Colorado River in developing their lands [their concern also for the unfortunate attitudes of their students who have had higher education]. Their population seemed to be predominantly a very young one. One of the members of the Indian party to New Zealand, an elder of their community, was William Alcaida, a hard working man, who expended his energy for the good of the communal life in the Reservation. At two in the afternoon, our party left for the City of Phoenix, to find that accommodation had been made for us at Tempe motel. That evening we travelled south to a Roman Catholic Mission in the Gila (pronounced Healer) Reservation. Here also we were treated to a sumptuous meal, prepared by elderly Indian womenfolk. The meal was delicious and beautifully cooked. It was here that we met a professor of the Tempe University, Dr Mayland, and Mrs Parker. He was our contact in these parts. The womenfolk were a jolly folk, very much like our own Maori women in their ways, so that Apanui Watene was able to tease them. After dinner the professor conducted us to the Mission Hall to meet the young people of St John's Mission. It was in this hall that we witnessed the performance of thirteen different dances. Next we were led to the Mission's gymnasium, where a match of indoor basketball was in progress. For the half time spell, our party entertained the big crowd of young people with songs, action songs and hakas. We did think we did well. At the close of the evening we returned to our motel in Tempe twenty
