Ētahi mahi a Te Puea ki Manaia
Nā Iti Rangihinemutu Rawiri
Ka hoki tonu au ki a Te Puea i te tīmatatanga i a mātou nei i Manaia.
I haere mai ia i Waiuku ki Manaia. Ko te tikanga o tana haere mai, he mahi Te Kaupapa hei āwhina ngā whenua o reira. Te take, kāre he maniua me ngērā mea katoa. Nā, ka mahi a Te Puea ngō mātou whenua, koia tēnei te whakauru ki roto i Te Kaupapa a te Tari Māori. Nā, ka tae mai ia ki reira, kātahi ka hanga whare i reira, kotahi te whare moe mōna anake.
I mahia ki te raupō. Tahi te whare mahia hei kīhini, kotahi anō te whare mahia mō ngā tununga kai. Nā, he moenga mō Momo mā, mō ana tāngata mahi i ngērā wā. Nā ngā mahi anō a Te Puea i tērā wā, i te timatatanga mai o te pakanga, he whakami i a mātou ngā wāhine. I haria mai ngā tiringi hei mahi ngā mea whēnei te kupenga nei, ko ngā mea neki e mahia nei e mātou, hei whakahuna mō ngā hoia. Koirā ngā mea katoa. He natinati pōtae, natinati kāmeta, he natinati karapu. Nā, ka oti mō te haere mai a Te Ripeka Whero, ka tukuna ki tāwāhi. Koia tēnei na ka tuku. Ngētehi mea kohi, e rima tekau mā rima hereni i te whare whāmare, hei painga mō te āhuatanga mō te whawhai. Ngā mea mahi kāri o Pukekohe, he mahi rīwai, ka tukua ki te wāhi whawhaitanga. Koinei katoa ngā mahi a Te Puea i tērā wā.
