Hāmiora Mangakāhia

Ko tana mahi mā te Kotahitanga te mahi nui rawa atu a Mangakāhia. Ko ngā tino kaupapa o taua rōpū kia whakakāhoretia te Kōti Whenua Māori me ngā ture whenua Māori katoa; kia whakatūria ngā komiti Māori ki te whakatau i ngā tautohetohe i raro i ngā tikanga Māori.  Koia rā tana kōrero ki te Kōmihana mō ngā Ture Whenua Māori i te 1891 kia whakakāhoretia te Kōti. 

Nō te 1892 ka pōtitia a Mangakāhia hei Pirimia o te Pāremata o te Kotahitanga. Ka tonoa e ia kia tukua he pitihana ki te Pāremata i Te Whanga-nui-a-Tara, e inoi ana tuatahi, kia whakakāhoretia ngā ture whenua Māori, tuarua, mā te Māori anō e whakahaere ngā take Māori.

I whai anō a te Kotahitanga kia tū tētahi Pāremata Māori. Ki tā Mangakāhia, kāhore te Pāremata Māori e whakararu i te mana o te Kuini, engari he huarahi pea kia whakahaere ai te Māori i ōna whenua. Ki tāna titiro, ko te mana motuhake o te Māori he mea tiaki nā te Tiriti o Waitangi, nā te Ture Kaupapa Taketake o 1852, e whai mana ai i tekiona 71 ngā tikanga Māori i ngā takiwā ko te nuinga o te taupori he Māori.

Tae rawa atu ki tōna matenga i te 1918, ka pau i a Mangakāhia tana kaha mā te Pāremata o te Kotahitanga.
