Ki nga tangata e whai take ana ki te whenua kia mohiotia ai te wahi me te ra e tu ai te Kooti hei whakawa i o ratou take.

Na, be Panuitanga tenei kia mohiotia ai, ko te take a nga tangata no ratou nga ingoa, e mau nei i te rarangi tuatahi i raro nei, ki nga pihi whenua e mau nei i te rarangi tuarua, ka whakawakia a te 10 o nga ra o Pepuere, 1870, e te Kooti whakawa whenua Maori, ki Poneke.

Ko nga tangata katoa e whai tikanga ana mo aua whenua me haere ki reira.

Ka oti te whakawa, ka puta te Karauna Karaati ki te hunga i kitea tona tika e te Kooti: heoi ano he tino whakaotinga tena; ekore rawa e tika kia peke mai tetahi tangata ki muri.

Na Tiri,
Na tuhituhi o te Kooti.

Kooti Whakawa Whenua Maori,
