I puta tēnei pūrongo i te niupepa reo Māori o Te Waka Māori i te 30 o ngā rā o Oketopa i te tau 1878. Ko tōna take ko te Ture Rārangi Pōti i tuku ai i te Māori kia pōti ki te rārangi Māori, ki te rārangi iwi whānui rānei. E mea ana te pūrongo i roto i ngā reo e rua, 'ka tino whakahē mātou ki te tikanga whirirua mō te Māori. Kāore mātou e whakapono he kaupapa tēnei e ora ai te iwi Māori. He kaupapa tēnei e tū ai ngā pihi o te iwi Pākehā ki te iwi Māori...'I te tau 1893 ka whakakorea te tikanga whirirua.
