E Inoi ana nga kai-pitihana kia kaua e whakaekea "Te Ture Whenua Maori, 1886," ki runga ki nga whenua Maori kua oti te wehewehe ki ia tangata kua oti hoki nga karaati te whakaputa.
Kua whakahaua ahau kia ki penei: E tono ana tenei Komiti i te Kawanatanga kia tahuri ratou ki te whakahaere i tetahi tikanga ki nga kai-pitihana kia ahei ai te riro mai i a ratou ta ratou e inoi nei.
