TE WHAKAARO RANGATIRA.
E hiahia ana matou kite whakamahara ki te Iwi Maori i tetahi whakaaro rangatira. Kei te puta ranei kaore ranei i te puta te ngakau whakawhetai i te Iwi Maori ki a tatou nu-pepa, ki Te Tiupiri, ki Te Puke-ki-Hikurangi, me ta raua potiki me Te Pipiwharauroa. Na enei pepa i rongo ai te tangata i nga korero 0 nga takiwa Maori, i nga korero o tawhiti, 1 nga korero o te whawhai ki Awherika, mete huhua o te korero hei whaka-ngahau, hei whakaako ite tangata. He tika ano e hakiri ana etahi tangata i nga korero o te whawhai kite tangata noa iho, kite pakeha, otira na a tatou nu-pepa i ata whakataki nga korero i man pai ai ite ngakau. Me he mea i rite enei tau ki nga tau tata kua pahure ake nei, nga tau i kore ai he nu-pepa kotahi, ka nui noa atu te kuaretanga o te Maori, heoi ano ka hopuhopu noa iho ite rongo-korero ite takiwa. Na reira ra e te iwi i “ tioo, tioo,” ai Te Pipiwharauroa, he whakamahara i a koutou kia whakaputaina te ngakau whakawhetai te whakaaro rangatira, ara kia hapai i a tatou nu-pepa, i o tatou reo. Kaua e whakamanawa “ ko ta mea nu-pepa noa ma maua nei, me hopu noa aku nei korero kite ngutu tangata, me inoi noa ranei he pepa maku, me tono atu ranei engari kaua e utua, kia kotahi noa ranei te hereni e hoatu.” Ehara tena i te whakaaro rangatira, e kore e tupu nga mahi i tena whakaaro. Neke atu i 39,000 ngati-taua te Iwi Maori, ■engari ra kaore i neke atu i te 3000 tangata e kohi ana ki Te Tiupiri, ki Te Puke-ki-Hiku-rangi, ki Te Pipiwharauroa. Rere ke te pakeha. E 5,000 nga pakeha o Kihipane nei, tena koa e rua rawa a ratou na nu-pepa, haaunga nga nupepa nunui o waho e haere mai ana i nga wiki katoa. Kite pakeha e tango ana tena whanau, tena whanau he nupepa mana, mana. He tono ta matou ete iwi kia mama te ngakau, kia rangatira te whakaaro ; hapainga a tatou pepa. Ehara noa iho tenei tom pepa ma te 39,000 tangata ; pai noa atu te wha, te rima, te ngahuru, me he mea e hihiko ana te ngakau. Otira e kore matou e wareware kite whakamihi ki nga tangata e tautoko ana i o ratou reo. Tena koutou, e hoa ma! Tena koutou e nga kai-tautoko iTe Pipiwharauroa. Tena koutou ! Tena koutou ! Ma te Atua koutou e manaaki. “ Kui! Kui! Whitiwhitiora!” Na Te Pipiwharauroa.
