He rohe pumau tenei na matou, na nga Maori, hei wehenga mo te wahi ki nga Pakeha, mo te wahi ki nga Maori. E ta, e Te Makarini, he mahi totika tenei na matou; na nga tane, na nga wahine, na nga tamariki tenei tikanga, hei whakakotahitanga tenei mo matou hei iwi tahi ki roto ki te whakaaro ki a te Kuini, ki te whakapono hoki ki te Atua. Na Te Kaninamu Hamaiwaho, Riwai Te Kuktai, Piripi Rare, Ihaia Wakamaiura, Iharaia Tatahau, Arona Poutake, Noa Wangaparawa, Mohi Torokanga, no matou katoa tenei pukapuka. [Note following] Ki a Te Makarini tenei pukapuka whenua mo nga wahi ki nga Maori 5 October 1853 Waihinga McLean, Sir, this part of our land is for us; it's a quite small part. Know that this part is for us; it's a rough part and stony. The boundary begins at Taumata-o- te-ruinga, runs on to Wahangenge, and continues on to Pukehou, Te Punanga, Kaikonohi, Wahirangi, Te Waitua, Mairerauriki, Te Rangiora, Te Ara-wawahiatawaia[?], Tatariki, Te Kaho, and on to Te Kauru-o-Kaihoata where it stops. Now on the other side of the Wainuioru river it heads to the high ridge at Maungarake, runs on to Te Riki, and then continues on to Hinetu, Te Ranga-a-Te Ranginohota[?], Te Waiaweki, Waipapa, Te Pahara, Waitahe, Te Kaiwakatakataka and Kaikonohi, then runs along the eastern side of the Mangapopo river and continues on to Oporae, Te Arahouhou, Te Rataowakamu, then across to [? or, Tiwai-o-...] Maungarake, then on to Te Opepe-a-Ruangi, Tuawa, Te Hirere, Taere, Te Pouoteraunga, Otamakoawa, Taueru, and then it runs along the river. This is a permanent boundary for us, the Maori, as a dividing line with the Pakeha, for the parts the Maori have. Sir, McLean, this is a correct procedure for us and it is the resolve of the men, women and young ones, to unite us as one people under the mantle of the Queen and in the belief in God. From Te Kaninamu Hamaiwaho, Riwai Te Kuktai, Piripi Rare, Ihaia Wakamaiura, Iharaia Tatahau, Arona Poutake, Noa Wangaparawa, Mohi Torokanga; this letter is from us all. [Note following] This document of the parts of land for the Maori is for McLean. [Note in English] 'Te Kaninamu and others retaining land for themselves'
