HE WHAKAMAUMAHARA KIA HEMI PUUTU.
He nui whakaharahara te pouri i pa mai kia matou i to matou rongonga kua moe i te moenga roa a Hemi Puutu, Kai-whakawa, ite poo te Mane te 14 o nga ra o Mei, i tona whare i Makaraka. I haere ia i runga i te rangimarie, i te koha-kore, i whakamakukuria tona huarahi ki nga roimata ote iwi,— ote iwi pakeha, o te iwi maori. Haere ra e koro ! Ka ngaro koe i nga huarahi o Kihipane, ka kore koe e kitea ki to taumata ki Ma-nu-kokako, kua wehe atu koe i nga tirohanga kanohi o Ngati-porou. I pai tou wehenga atu, ko te aroaroatanga, ko te pouri ka waiho iho ki muri nei, ki to hoa wahine, ki to whanau, kite iwi nui katoa. No tona hokinga mai i Waiapu ka pangia ia e te taru-whenua, no muri iho ka whakauru tetahi atu mate. E 70 ona tau i tona matenga. He kauwhau ite Rongo Pai kite iwi maori te take i haere mai ai a Puutu i Ingarangi ki Niu Tireni. No te pakarutanga o te whawhai ki Whanganui ka riro herehere ratou ko tana whanau i te hauhau ; i whakaorangia ai ratou na te pai o tetahi rangatira tai-ta-mariki, o Hori Patene. I te whawhai ki Hiruhararna, i roto o Whanganui, na Puutu ratou ko etahi Maori i tiki he paura, i runga waka, i te taone e 50 maero te tawhiti. Na konei i ora ai nga Maori 0 te taha Kawanatanga, kua pau haere hoki nga paura. Na runga i tona kaha, 1 tona maia, ka whakanuia ia e te Kawanatanga, ka whakaturia hei Kai-whaka-wa. I tino rite tenei kaumatua hei Kaiwhakawa mo tenei takiwa, ara i runga i tona mohio kite reo me nga tikanga maori. Ki aia e mana ana nga Komiti Maori. Ko wai ka hua, ko wai ka tohu, e pera ranei te Kai-whakawa hou, auake ranei; tera pea ia ka tu mai he “ Parao ke kaore nei e mohio kia Hohepa.” Ka whati ra e taku ran ko tuku - Taku arai rid kite nui o te kino, Nga hui e tau i roto o Wa iapu He hinganga whare nui hei au ... anake ra.
