WHAKATU.
Kua tae mai te rongo kia matou, na nga kai runanga o Wakata, e nui ana te kake o nga tangata Maori o reira, o Motueka, o Wakapuaka, me nga wahi katoa e patata ana ki Whakatu, ki te wakatupu witi, riwai, me etahi atu kai Pa keh a ki o ratou kainga. Ko etahi o ratou kua wiwi i te parau, i te kaata, i te hoiho, i te kau mahi; kua wakarerea te ngaki maori, kua timata te ngaki ki te ritenga Pakeha. Engari ko o ratou whare kahore hoki matou e rongo ana kua ahua Pakeba te hanga o nga whare, ko te tu maori nei ano ranei. Engari kua oti nei ia ratou te ngaki Pakeha, ko nga whare me ata wakarite hoki kite ahua o nga whare Pakeha. E tika ana kia mahi pena nga tangata o tera moutere, kia kake haere ai ratou ki runga ki nga tikanga pai o a ratou hoa Pakeha.
