HE WHAKAWHETAI.
Kite Etita o Te Pipiwharauroa. Tena koe, koutou tahi ko nga kai-mahi ota tatou pepa. Ma te Ariki tatou e whakakaha kite mahi i nga mea e whai kororia ai tona ingoa. E hoa tenei etahi wahi korero hei haringa atu ma ta tatou manu ki nga wahi e tae atu ai ia, hei whakaatu i te nui o te whakawhetai kite Ariki ote maara mo te whakamananga i nga inoi mo tetahi kai-mahi kia tonoa mai ki tenei wahi o tana maara, kite Pihopatanga o Akarana. He pakeha te minita i tonoa hei awhina i a Atirikona Karaka. I kokiritia e matou e nga minita Maori i tae ki Akarana, ara eta matou hinotamana e Riapo Puhipi, he motini kite Hinota Pakeha, i a Oketopa 1899. Ko taua motini, kia whakaarohia he minita pakeha hei haere i tenei Pihopatanga, ara i runga i te kotahi tonu o te minita pakeha kei a matou kei nga Maori o te Pihopatanga o Akarana, ko te Atirikona Karaka, he kaumatua, ka 69 ona tau. Ko te Pihopatanga o Waiapu toko-ono, tokowhitu ranei nga minita pakeha ; ko te Pihopatanga o Poneke, tokorua. 1 whakaaetia ta matou tono e taua Hinota. Oho-mauri ana matou i te taenga mai o te minita pakeha hei whakarite i taua motini, ko Rev. H. A. Hawkins. Tau kupu whakaae e te pakeha, kaore i roa kua rite ! He kai-whakaako tuarua tenei tangata no te Kura Minita i Te Raukahikatea. I whakaakona ia ki nga Kareti o Te Aute, o Whakatu, o Otautahi, i tino kaha hoki tona putanga i te whakamatautauranga minita pakeha. I te wa i tae mai ai ia i a Aperira nei, e noho ana te Hinota o te Atirikonatanga OTe Waimate ki Kaikohe. I uru ano ia ki nga mahi ote hui. Tona kainga noho kei Te Waimate North, kei roto i te whare i noho ai a Pihopa Herewini Nui, i whanau ano ki reira tana tama a Hone Herewini, i tu nei hei Pihopa mo nga Motu. No te 190 nga ra o Aperira nei, ka timata ia te haere kia kite i etahi o nga pari ha o te Atirikonatanga o Te Waimate. I ahu pera ia kite Tai-whakararo. He maha nga kainga i taea e ia te haere, e rua tino wiki hoki ia 1 haere ai. He nui te koa o nga maori, mete whakamanuhiri hoki i a ia i runga i nga tikanga maori. Whiti! whiti! ora! Na to koutou hoa mahi, Timoti Kiriwi. Waimate North.
