I rangona e au a Tatere McLeod i te hōtaka Manako (te 19 o Pipiri). Kua tohua ia hei māngai mō te Tairāwhiti ki te poari reo Māori, ko Mātāwai. He taiohi ia, he tangata i ako ai i te reo Māori hei reo tuarua ( i 17 ōna tau i te wā tae mai ia ki Aotearoa i Āhitereira); ka mutu, he matua ia, he tangata hūmarie, ngāwari tōna wairua, ahakoa he mātanga reo ia. Me mihi ki ōna whakaaro akiaki ki ngā tauhou ki te reo Māori. Nō reira, whakarongo mai ki te hōtaka (kei konei hoki tana kōrero tahi me Willie Jackson – i te reo Pākehā tēnei.
