To Henare Matua
Friend, I am entrusting my pieces of Tamaki to which I hold ancestral rights, the pieces from my ancestor Te Rangitotohu left to Ruatotara then down to my father and then to me.
The names of the pieces of Tamaki to which I hold ancestral rights:
Te Ohu
Te Whakaruatapu
Nihopopo
Matuareura
Tahuarongotea
Takaputuraha
The upper portion of this piece towards Ruahine belongs to Te Rangiwhakaewa.
Te Pohatu o Manuhiri and other pieces that cannot be written down are with the descendants. This is the third of Ropata's land purchases and was restricted again as it was previously restricted. I know this person did not hold ancestral rights.
These are at Tuatua
Mangarangiora
Tautau Kokako
Te Werangao Kaiwhata
Te Ranga o Putangauru
And all its associated settlements.
These at Urakaiatai are from my ancestors, these pieces from Parakiore to Rangitotohu:
Potoketoke
Tautenga
Tiropana
Makirikiri
Te Koao o Pakuku and other pieces.
