TE TU 0 TE MAORI.
Nga Maori o Motueka. He kupu tenei mo te korero a Hohepa Peka o Turanga, mo te ‘ Tu o te Iwi Maori ’ i panuitia Te Pipiwharauroa. Ata whakaarohia e tatou ana kupu. Ki taku whakaaro he tika rawa. Ko tenei ete iwi me mahi he tikanga hou, me whakarere te alma tawhito, me whakarongo ki nga tphutohu a te Popa, kaitirotiro kura kua oti nei nga pukapuka i a ia te tuhituhi kite reo Maori. Nui atu te tika o nga korero o aua pukapuka. E hoa ma i a au e noho ana i roto i te ahua o nga Maori o mua nui atu toku mangere ki te mahi kai maku, no toku kitenga i te huarahi o te pakeha e haere nei, ka raahue i a au te ao tawhito ka mahia ko te huarahi hou. E hoa ma nui atu te pai mehemea ka pirangi te tangata Ida kite i te ahua o nga Maori o Motueka, pai noa atu. Kei konei nga maara hopa me nga kaari hua rakau o ia ahua o ia ahua o te pititi o te aporo o te raahipere o te tini noa iho o nga rakau ate pakeha. Kaore rawa he tangata mangere o konei, kite mangere hoki te tangata i konei mona ano tona mate i te hiakai, kaore hoki e awhinatia te tangata mangere. Kua kore i konei nga whakatu hakari mo nga tupapaku heoi ano kua whakaritea ki ta te pakeha tikanga ; nui atu te pai. Nga mahi katoa o tenei whenua kei runga i nga tikanga a te pakeha e haere ana. Na to koutou hoa, na Huta Paaka. Motueka, Te Waipounamu.
