Kei te whakahouhia e mātou te whārangi reo Māori nei
I te 14 o Mei 1864 ka hinga ngā pononga Pai Mārire nō te kauru o te awa i tētahi pakanga i tū ki te Motu o Moutoa kei te awa o Whanganui. I hinga rātou i ngā kaiārai Māori o te tāone o Whanganui. Nā te harikoa o te hapori Pākehā ka whakatūria he tohu maumaharatanga ki ngā Māra o Moutoa kei te tāone o Whanganui, arā, mō ngā Māori i noho tūturu ki a rātou. Ka tuia he haki e ngā wāhine paetata hei koha ki ngā kaiārai Māori. Kei te haki e whakaaturia ana ki konei me te hunga whiwhi, e whakaaturia ana te haki o te Union Jack, he karauna, he ringa mā, me te ringa parauri e rūrū tahi ana i runga i te whakahoahoa.
