E mohio ana ia ki etahi wahi harakeke kei Maketu kei Rotorua, kei Pewhairangi, kei Kaipara hoki, nui atu ki aua wahi, a he nui tona hiahia kia tiakina pai tia e te Kawanatanga enei wahi pena me ta ratou tikanga mo Puhipuhi ngaherehere. Kua rongo hoki ia kua nui haere te pirangi o te Marikena ki te niuka. Otiia i runga i te mahi tahu tahu a nga tangata keri kapia i runga i nga whenua Karauna, Maori hoki, kua pau haere te harakeke, ia tau ia tau. He taonga nui he rawa pai tenei mo te katoa koia te putake i tono ai ai kia tiakina nui tia e te Kawanatanga.

Ta Hare Atikini—Kaore e marama i te Kawanatanga te hanga ture motuhake mo tenei mea.
