Ko te Kira, te tima o te Kawanatanga; tenei kua hoki mai i Wharekauri—i haere kite kawe i nga herehere ki reira. No te poo te Wenerei te 14 o nga ra o Maehe i u atu ai ki Waitangi i Wharekauri. No te unga toutanga atu ka haere ki uta a Kapene Tamati, te Kai Wbakawa o reira—i haere atu i Nepia nei. Ka ki mai nga tangata o uta ki a ia taihon e tukua nga herehere ki uta kia huihui ratou kite kimi whakaaro. Heoi, no te Taitei te 100 nga ra ka huihui a Ngatimutunga me Ngatitama, me nga tangata katoa o uta, kite korero. Ivorero ana ratou mtiri iho ka whakaae te katoa kia tukua nga herehere ki uta. Katahi ka mauria ki uta. No te menenga ki uta ka arahina haeretia kite pa ki Waitangi. No te taenga ki reira ka takoto te kai a te tangata vvhenua ma ratou. No te ahiahi ka arahina e nga hoia i haere tahi atu i a ratou kite wahi hei nohoanga mo raton. E korerotia ana ka nui ta ratou whakapai kite kainga kua whakaritea hei nohoanga mo ratou. Tenei te reta a etahi o ratou kua taia ki tenei nuipepa, he tono poti ki a te Makarini hei hi ika ma ratou. Kaore matou e mohio, e whakaae ranei te Makarini, kaore ranei—kei a ia ano tona whakaaro. Engari tamatouemohio ana mehemea ko matou i riro herehere i a ratou ekore e penei to ratou atawhai ki au me toku ki a ia—penei tera au e patua e ia, tera e waiho au hei patunga tapu mo tona atua teka, kohuru. Me whakaaro taua iwi ki tona hara, ka repeneta ai; me i kore e hoki te whakaaro o te pakeha apopo ki a Ja. Inahoki, ehara ia i te hoa aroha ki au.
Kite tikanga ote Tare kua mate ia—na te pai o te pakeha ka ora ia. Heoi tenei. He kupu tenei mo te pa nui o nga tangata o tera motu, mo Waitangi. E korero ana nga pakeha i haere i runga ia te Kira kite .pai o taua pa, E ki ana kaore he pa maori o Niu Tirani e rite ana ki taua pa te ata ahua, te kore paru, te ata rarangi nrianre o nga whars, mete pai ote hanganga. Ko te karakia hoki e ki ana ka nui te karakia o nga tangata o reira i te ata ite po. Ivo to ratou whare karakia hoki e korerotia ana he whare pai ia\va. Heoti tou te ahua o te ivvi h&kapono kite ,A.tua nui o te Rangi. Kati ano kia taeatu nga iwi Hau Hau ivi reira kia akona ratou kite tikanga tika e o reira tangata. Ka nui te whakamihi o nga pakeha kite atawhai o nga maori o reira ki a ratou. Nga tangata maori e noho ana i taua moutere i tenei takiwa e 380 ; ko nga moriori kotahi rau e rua te kau. Ka tata tenei te hoki te Kira ki reira.
