MAORI PARTY OF THE NEW WORLD. [THE YOUNG MAORI PARTY.]

On Thursday, 20th April, the Hui of the Maori Party of the New World was held at Te Hauke, Hastings.

The Hui ended on the Saturday evening. People spoke of this as an excellent Hui. It is right that it should be well spoken of for there were many people, many speeches, and also much food. This was the fifteenth Hui held by this group and according to those who saw the first gatherings this had the most people attending.

The discussions at the Hui, reported on here by the Rev Pererika Peneti, were beautiful and made one’s heart rejoice. Because of the excellent accounts given by Peneti in his report we decided to write a few words about some aspects of the hui which we noticed in his report. There were two main areas that the Hui dealt with: the matters apposite to the Hui Topu, and extraneous matters not specifically related to the Hui.

THE HUI AT WAIOMATATINI.

From the conversations of people in meeting houses and on the streets it seems that there will be many people attending the Hui Topu of the Diocese of Waiapu to be held amongst Ngati Porou. Ngati Porou want this to be a new gift, something to recall long afterwards. It is news of the choir performances within Ngati Porou which is inspiring young and old to come to the hui. The idea is to find at the hui the choir which sings hymns most sweetly.
