Description

This is a letter (and contemporary translation) by Arekatera Te Weraomahuta to Te Waka (a Maori Newspaper.) It urges Maori to end war, become united under the one law and take advantage of the economic benefits because, “the natives have no chance to cope with any European race.” There were a number of newspapers written for a Maori audience from the 1840s. Some were produced by the government, and some initiated by Maori. There were also religious newspapers.
