Kaua e tukua kia tangohia ō whenua e te Kāwanatanga, kia hokona, ānō he whenua tītōhea noa iho nō te Karauna. Ki te haere koe ki Ingarangi, kaua e wareware ki te kauwhau atu ki ō reira tāngata, kua turakina te Tiriti o Waitangi o te tau 1840, i raro i te Ture Whenua Māori 1905, me te Constitution Act 1852, ki te whakaaro Māori rā. Kia pēnei anake tō kōrero, i te tau 1840 i hainatia e ngā whenua motuhake tētahi tiriti. I whakaae tētahi o ngā hoa o te Tiriti kia whakaaetia te mana o Kuini Wikitoria, ko tētahi o ngā hoa i whakaae kia whakatūturutia ki ngā rangatira me ngā iwi o Aotearoa, tae atu ki ngā whānau kia whakatūturutia ki tēnā, ki tēnā iwi, ki te katoa o ngā iwi hoki, me ō rātou rangatira te pupuritanga mārire tē taea te raweke o ō rātou whenua, ō rātou ngahere, ō rātou tauranga ika, me ērā atu taonga, ā, me mātua whakaae aua rangatira ka hokona ō rātou whenua. Kia tūpato koutou, kaua e tukua ō koutou whenua ki roto i ngā ringa o ngā poari tiaki whenua Māori, arā, ngā native land boards, me te whakakore i te taitara Māori ki aua whenua. Ka tiaki te Tiriti o Waitangi i te taitara Māori, engari ki te whakakorea atu tērā, ka ngaro ngā mea katoa. Ki te huri te Kāwanatanga o Ingarangi ki te kī mai ki a koutou, whakahokia tā koutou pitihana ki te Kāwanatanga o Aotearoa, kīia atu kore rawa tēnei take e oti i runga i te tika i Aotearoa. 11,500 ngā pakeke Māori nāna tētahi pitihana i haina i te tau 1904 me te tau 1905, kia whakaōritengia rātou, arā te taha ki ō rātou whenua, kia rite ki ngā Pākehā, engari kore rawa he tangata i aro mai ki tā rātou pitihana.

Kāore i tukua ki te iwi Māori te tino rangatiratanga o ō rātou whenua, ō rātou kāinga me ō rātou taonga katoa, kāore hoki i tukua ki te iwi Māori ngā tikanga katoa pērā anō i ngā tāngata o Ingarangi.
