An Epitome of Official Documents Relative to Native Affairs and Land Purchases in the North Island of New Zealand
Aotea and Kawhia
Aotea and Kawhia.
The Natives in Aotea are divided on the subject of the land question, and the majority of the people at Kawhia and Waikawau are strenuously opposed to the sale of all lands in that district, except a small portion situated on the sea-coast, on which an instalment has been paid by Mr. McLean. Beyond their unwillingness to dispose of land, I am not aware that they are in any way unfriendly towards the Government.
