HE TOHU ATAWHAI.
Kua kite matou i te reta a Pirihi Wakawa Tomonui—kei te Kirikiriroa, i Waikato, e noho ana—mo nga Pakeha, "e haere noa iho ana, i kahore ana kai, i roio i nga kainea Maori." 5 E mea ana ia kite tika makona te Pakeha haere whenua, rue peka atu ki tona kainga noho ai, moe iho ai ki tona whare ite po kotahi, ka tukua ano kia haere. A kua mea mai ia kia panuitia taua kupu ana ki "Te Manuhiri'' kia rangona nuitia. Heoi, e pai ana matou kia taia ki konei, a, tenei ake pea, kia ata rangona, he nui ke te Pakeha e peka atu ki tona whare noho ai. Kr ta matou he tohu pai tenei—e tupu mai ana hoki i roto i te ngakau atawhai kite Pakeha. Kua whai ingoa nga iwi o te tuawhenua mo tana pai, mo tana atawhai, kite munuhiri. Kotahi anake te kupu whakahe mo ratou e rangona nei, ara, ko ta ratou pakeke, kite tono utu nui i te pakeha mo nga whakawhitinga awa. I rongo matou ki tetahi korero, he Pakeha i whakawhitingia atu, he awa iti nei, whakaritea ana e te Maori kotahi rawa pauna hei utu! He tikanga he tenei, he tikanga pakeke; ta te mea, ko te tokomaha o enei Pakeha haere whenua, he tangata rawakore ia, heoi na ano tona rawa te kawea haeretia na. E kore matou e mea, e penei ana katoa, otira, tera ano, na, waiho iho hei kupu whakapae mo te Maori. He kupu tenei na matou ki nga ra-
ngatira Maori, kia tirotirohia e ratou, kia kaua enei he e waiho kia tupu i roto i nga iwi. Kia mahara hoki tatou, e ahei ano ma te tikanga apoapo a te hunga torutoru nei e homai ingoa kino kite kainga katoa, mehemea ia ka tukua ta ratou malii kia puta. Heoi, kite rongorongo matou kite tangata e pena ana, a nga wa e takoto mai nei, ka koreronuitia e matou kia rongo te iwi.
