WHEREAS at a meeting of Natives representative of the whole of the tribes recognizing the chieftainship of Kingi te Rata Mahuta Tawhiao Potatau te Wherowhero assembled at Ngaruawahia on the day of , one thousand nine hundred and twenty, it was unanimously resolved that sites suitable for a “Papakainga” be chosen by a committee then appointed such sites to come up for final selection and approval at a meeting to be later convened:

And whereas at such subsequent meeting held on the fourteenth day of September, one thousand nine hundred and twenty, the Committee’s report having been received it was decided by the Natives then present and fully representative of the said tribes. that Sections 166 and 167 of the Suburbs of Newcastle North were eminently suitable for the purposes of a “Papakainga” :

And whereas ways and means of paying the purchase price were there discussed and eventually it was left to the people to voluntarily contribute to a fund opened for that purpose it being felt that as in the matter of the “Papakainga” so in that of the contributions there should be no imposition of terms:

And whereas the contributors to the said fund have requested that the said Sections 166 and 167 of the Suburbs of Newcastle North be vested in the said Kingi Te Rata Mahuta Tawhiao Potatau te Wherowhero in trust for the purposes hereinafter appearing:

Now, know ye, that the said Kingi Te Rata Mahuta Tawhiao Potatau te Wherowhero doth hereby acknowledge and declare that he holds the said Sections 166 and 167 of the Suburbs of Newcastle North in trust for the purposes and upon the conditions hereinafter appearing and except for the said trust and purposes the said Kingi Te Rata Mahuta Tawhiao Potatau te Wherowhero absolutely and utterly disclaims all estate, right, title, interest, claim, and demand to the said piece of land:—

1. For the use of the members of his tribe and of all people who shall fully acknowledge his chieftainship or that of his successors as a “Papakainga” to permit such members and people to occupy the said land free of all rent or charges of a like description and without hindrance or without restriction of any kind except such as shall be introduced from time to time for the welfare of the people and the proper management of the “Papakainga.”

2. For the use without charge of the “homeless”; a home for them for ever and ever subject to their recognition of his position (and that of his successors) as Chief.

As witness the hand of the said Kingi Te Rata Mahuta Tawhiao Potatau te Wherowhero this eleventh day of August, one thousand nine hundred and twenty-one (1921).
