Kāore e kore ka toro ngā pānga o tēnei Pire ki tua o te tirohanga kanohi, mō ngā tāngata katoa o Aotearoa. …kia kī noa ake au he nui anō ngā Pākehā me ngā Māori i āwangawanga mō te muru raupatu o ngā whenua Māori me te nui o ngā kapiheihana i utua ai i roto i te 150 tau. …He take matatini, he take uaua hoki, he mea nui kia tika tonu ngā kōrero mō te kaupapa nei, kia kitea ai he ahunga whakamua mō ngā tāngata katoa o Aotearoa. …Ki ahau nei ko ngā whakatau me ngā tohutohu [a te Rōpū Whakamana i te Tiriti o  Waitangi] e pā ana ki ngā kawa kai o Waitara me Motunui, me āna whiriwhiringa o tēnei wā mō [te take o] Manukau, kei hea mai te pai me te tōtika. Kei te whakamihi te iwi Māori, te Kāwanatanga me ngā tāngata katoa o Aotearoa ki te rūnanga, i a ia ka whano ake ki te kawe i āna mahi.  E mōhio ana au ko te hiahia o ngā tāngata katoa o Aotearoa kia tika te whakahaere i te take mātotoru nei, engari kāore e pai kia hoki atu ki te tau 1840, ki te arotake i ngā mahi me ngā hapanga katoa a te Kāwanatanga, tae atu ki ngā whakatau kua oti kē me ngā utu kua ea kē, me te mahi nui kia whakatauria me he tūkinotanga i roto i aua mahi. Kāore e kore ka noho tērā hei take e wehea ai te Pākehā i te Pākehā, te Pākeha i te Māori, te Māori i te Māori. E āwangawanga ana au mō ngā hua pāpori, me ngā hua ōhanga o te Pire, ā, kei te inoi hoki ki te whare kia āta whiria mehemea ka nui kē atu ngā raruraru i waenganui i ngā iwi i tō tēnei wā, ki te whakamanaia te Pire nei.  Kua tae ki te 145 tau mai o te hainatanga o Te Tiriti o Waitangi. Ka tūtaki ngā momo iwi e rua, he rerekē rawa tētahi i tētahi. Ka hainatia tētahi tiriti i runga i ngā tūmanako tino nui tērā e whakangaromia atu ngā rerekētanga ā-tikanga o ngā momo e rua, i roto i te whakawhanaungatanga. He mea e pōuri ai te ngākau, engari e taea hoki te aha, i roto i te takiwā o te 150 tau kua ara ake he rerekētanga i waenganui i ngā ahurea e rua - kotahi te whenua, e rua ngā iwi, e rua ngā ahurea, - nā konā kua mau ake ētahi nawe e ongaonga tonu nei i te ngākau o te iwi Māori, ā, kei konei tonu kei waenganui i a tātou i te rā nei. Kia whakaaro ake tātou ki te pūnaha mātauranga …ko ngā āhuatanga i pā ki te whenua nei i roto i te 150 tau, ki ngā whakaaro me ngā waiaro rerekē ki ngā hītori kua tupu ake, māna noa ake te kite tonu mai o ētahi o ngā raruraru e pā ana ki a tātou i te rā nei. Nō te tau 1975 i whakatūria ai te Rōpū Whakamana i Te Tiriti o Waitangi i runga i te tūmanako tērā e whakahaeretia ngā nawe i runga i te tika, i runga i te ngākau aroha, e puta ai he tohutohu ki te Kāwanatanga i runga i te mātauranga hōhonu me te māramatanga ki ōna pūtake. Ki a au ka taea te kī… he tino kaupapa whai tikanga Te Rōpū Whakamana i te Tiriti kua tū nei… he rawe ana pūrongo roroa, he ātaahua te reo tuhituhi, kī pai i te wairua Māori, engari nō te Pākehā pea te ngāwari o ngā huarahi whakamua.... kei te mārō tonu te haere o te Rōpū, kua piki anō hoki tōna mana ki te titiro a te Māori rāua ko te Pākehā.

Me hoki rawa kia 50 tau ki muri, kia 100 tau, kia 140 kia kitea ai te utu e rapua nei e te Minita i te Pire nei? Kua tae ianei te wā ka taea ngā take nunui te whakaoti i runga i te tika ki ngā taha e rua, me te waiho i ngā haehaetanga o te kiri kia mahu ana? Kei roto i te Pire nei tētahi… āwangawanga nui – mā ōna āhuatanga e hauhakengia ake ai ngā nawe kua oti noa atu te nehu i ngā tau ki muri. He tino Pire mōrearea tēnei, o ngā pire katoa kua whakatakotoria ki mua i te whare i te wā i ahau i te Whare nei, ki a au ko tā te Pire nei he whakapātaritari pea i ētahi raruraru nunui i waenganui i te Māori rāua ko te Pākehā i Aotearoa. … Ko ōku tūpuna i ahu mai i Kotirani. Ki taku mōhio i peia rātou i ō rātou whenua e ngā Campbell tino kino nei te kōhuru nāna i mahi mō te Kīngi o Ingarangi, engari e hoki ana tērā kōrero e rua rau tau ki muri. Ki te tū au ki runga i te whenua i heke ai te toto, ka riri tonu taku ngākau, engari kore rawa au e āhei te hoki ki reira ki te rapu utu, nā, kore tonu au e whakapono, ka hua ake he ao pai ake mō te iwi Māori ki te titiro whakamuri me te wareware ki te titiro whakamua.

Ko te whāinga o te Pire nei he whakatatū i ngā tautohe, kāore kia whakapōraruraru i te noho pai. Ki te… kore e mahia tētahi mahi hei whakaoti i ngā nawe ka haere tonu ngā raruraru i waenganui i ngā iwi e rua. … Ki te iwi i hīkoi rā i Waitangi i tērā tau, kāore anō ngā taotūtanga kia ora noa. Ki te kore rātou e kite kei te whakahaeretia tētahi mahi e te Kāwanatanga, hei whakawātea tikanga kia whakawākia ai ngā take whai kiko e ngau nei i te whatumanawa, ka hinga ngā pou o te kāwanatanga manapori o Aotearoa.

Ka āhei i raro i a ia te tangata whenua te whakamana, ka whakatakoto huarahi tika e rangona ai ō rātou nawe, e rangahaua ai aua take, e āta whakarongona ai ngā totohe me ngā tohutohu. Kāore tātou e tuhituhi ana i runga i te papa mā noa iho nei. …He tino tikanga ahurei tonu [Te Rōpū Whakamana i Te Tiriti o Waitangi]; kua oti tēnei huarahi hou te hanga i Aotearoa, e ōna tāngata anō, kia tika ai te whakahaere i ngā kaupapa e pā ana ki te tangata whenua i runga i ngā tikanga e mōhio ana rātou. …Ki te whakapono te whare ka taea e ia aua take tawhito te whakaparahako, te huri tuarā rānei, te waiho kia takoto noa iho rānei, he nui ngā rā kikino kei mua i Aotearoa.

Kei te kī au, hei tangata nō Uropi, ko mātou i ahu mai i Uropi, kāore e tino kaha rawa ngā taura ki te ahurea o Uropi – he kākahu pahuhu noa pea – nā te mea kei te noho wehe kē ngā Pākehā o Aotearoa i ō rātou paiaka i Uropi, ā, e mea ana rātou he iwi tino mārama rātou i te mutunga atu, kāore hoki e tino maha rawa ngā hara e hunaia ana e rātou.

Kāore, he hoa noho tata kē a Tainui. He iwi whai whenua rātou, he iwi mōhio ki te hokohoko kau, ā, i tua atu he iwi mōhio ki ngā mātauranga katoa o te rohe. I ako ia i ngā āhuatanga maha o taua ahurea, i mārama ki te reo, ahakoa kāore i kōrerotia e ia. …I mōhio ia ki ngā ture o te hunga hokohoko, ko te ture tuatahi me mātua whakapono tō hoa ki a koe, i roto i ō hokohoko, ki te kore, ka mutu ō mahi. Kei te pōauau noa iho te whakaaro kia kumea mai te mana rangatira me te whakapono i tētahi huanga nō te hunga tito whakaaro, tito kaupapa hou; ko tāna noa iho he kawe i ngā whakaaro kia tawhiti tētahi i tētahi, he wehewehe hoki i ngā iwi. …E whakaae ana au he pukapuka tino nui te tiriti mō ngā tāngata katoa o Aotearoa; koirā hoki te pukapuka e tū nei tō tatou whenua i runga. Engari he mutunga anō tō te mana o te pukapuka. Kei ōna upoko e toru ētahi kahupapa mō te whakanohonoho mai o ngā iwi o Ingarangi ki konei… Kāore au e whakapono ka kitea ngā kaupapa o te tuku rangatiratanga ki te hoa, o te noho tahitanga, me te whanaketanga kākano-rua, i roto i taua tiriti. Engari kāore tērā e whakaiti i a ia, nā te mea, ahakoa i ngā tikanga e mea nei au kei roto i te Tiriti, me i tika te whakahaere o ngā āhuatanga e pā ana ki te Māori, me i whakahōnoretia hoki, tērā noa ake te pai o te noho o te Māori i tō nāianei āhuatanga. Kāo, i takahia ngā kī taurangi mō te pupuri i te whenua me ērā atu rauemi. I whakaititia tonutia te tangata. I ngaro ngā rawa, i hinga anō te mana, ka raru te iwi… Mehemea i tiakina ngā motika kua kore noa iho e hiahia te penihana oranga o ēnei rā. Engari, kāore i tiakina aua motika, nā reira me whakawhitiwhiti kōrero mō te kapiheihana. [New Zealand Parliamentary Debates, Volume 505, pp.563-566. Address in Reply debate.] © 2005 - 2006.
