MIRA MAORI.
Tena e ahuareka nga hoa Maori a ki pukapuka mo nga mira. He mahi nui ta Te Poitini, he mahi whakakake mo nga tangata Maori; a, e matauria iho ana nga Hapu Maori ki tenei arohatanga o te Kawana ki a ratou, ki tenei whakamatuatanga atu, a, e wliakapai ana o ratou ngakau. KORERO. Ki a Meiha Nlone, te Kai tuhituhi ki nga iwi Maori. Ekoro—Nomuri mai o terakorero aku, ka tae atu ano au ki Waikato, ki Waipa. Kua oti, tenei, te mira hou ki Rangiaohia, a, e wliakapai ana nga tangata, no te mea, e haere tika ana. E mahi ana ano te mira tawhito, otiia e meinga ana kia turakina tera, kia mahia kite mira hou, ina kitea he kamura whakaara mo ia mea. Ko te mira i Kihekihe, i hanga e Te Koro, kihai i ata pai te mahi, no reira ka tautohetohe nga tangata kite utu, a, tukua mai ana te korero ki au. Ata whakarongo ana au, ki nga kupu o tetahi, o tetahi \ i roto i to matou minenga ko Rata Hanara, te Kai-whakawa, me Te Mokena. Tirohia ana eau te mahi, whirrwhiri ana i nga korero o nga rangatira Maori o te Pakeha hoki, a, ka whakaae au kia £55 e -whakarere mo te he o te mahi, ko nga mea tuku atu | kia £IOO. I tohe hoki nga kai-hanga kia £155 !mo to ratou mahi.
Kua oti hoki ta matou korcro ko Karapata, ko Waka, kia mahia te mira ki Matamata, ko te utu kia i? 100, i whakaaetia ra lioki e koe.
Ko te mira i Mangatae, whano ka oti, tera e tutata ana kite kainga oTe Mokena. Kua whakaaetia lioki he mira hou ki Tireke. E hialiia ana nga tangata o Maungatautari, kia hanga he Mira hou, me tera hunga hoki ki Kawhia. Ka tata ka oti te mira ki Patetere. E whakariterite ana hoki i te mahi mo te mira ki Mangarewa, ki Waipa, kite vrahi tutata kite kainga oTe Patara) ko Kanara te kai hanga mo tera. Kua tae ano hoki au kite mira i Mohoanui, kua oti i a matou te whakapai nga kohatu, mete tatari. Ka timata tata nei te mira ki Te Rore. Ko te mira ki Whatawhata e whakapaia ana te tatari, i mahia ano taua mira i roto i nga ra. Ko nga tangata o Kaitotehe e hanga ana i te Whakamate kia ahei ai te huri i o ratou witi ina oti te patu. Kua oti te m;ra hou o Tuakau, i a Kanara raua ko Kaki, a, e pai ana. I tino whakapai nga tangata ki taua mira, no reira ka hoatu noae ratou ki nga kai hanga <£loo. E tono ana nga tangata o Whakapaka kia hanga ho mira mo ratou e Kanara. Kei raro mai tera o Whatawhata. E mea ana a Tangere te rangatira o ia wahi, kia tuhituhia nga korero mo taua mira, kite mea ka rangona nga utu mo nga rino, me ara atu mea i te taone a, ka wliakaaetia tana utu, e Kanara. E mea ana a Te Katipa, te rangatira o Waiuku, kia hanga he mira mona, e Kaki; ko te mea, ia, kahore tera i reira, ito matou haerenga mai i roto i tera wiki. Na, ko te kupu mo te wbakaakoranga o nga tangata Maori, kia hurihia o ratou mira, e ratou mo, kiano i ata tika i au, no te mea, ekore e roaroa iho toku nohoanga kite kainga kotahi, te ita piita taku tohutohu ; otira, e mea ana te tini e matau nei ki enei mea, ekere te mahi whakaako e oti, me kaua te motuhia tetahi wahi mahi mo tera anake ano. Na ko au, To pononga whakaiti, H. Te Poitoni. Akarana, Tihema 21, 1854.
