THE TREATY OF WAITANGI

The Governor’s Speech

On 19th March the Governor, the Prime Minister, Timi Kara, A T Ngata, Hone Heke and Henare Kaihau visited Waharoa in response to an invitation from Waikato. The purpose of the hui was to prepare a petition to send to England to fulfil the speeches and the wishes expressed at the hui held at Waahi last year.

MAORI UNITY

We printed last month a summary of the proceedings of the hui held at Waahi, and we wish to say a few words about that hui. Let us say that we were surprised that we received no invitation to attend because it is known to everyone that we are earnestly urging the Maori People to come together and to send a delegation to England. Nor have we heard that an invitation was sent to the Te Aute Association when Maori unity involves the participation of elders and young people.

THE COUNCIL ACT

Since the Council Act has been repealed it is appropriate to look carefully at the content of this act, the good things and the bad things, although perhaps we are not the right people to reflect upon this law because we have not been involved with the activities of the Land Court. One part of this Act has borne fruit, the Block Committee. It is clear that most of the Act was wrong because it has not had positive results.
