Ihaka Te Tai: became MHR for Northern Maori in 1884. His speeches in
Parliament indicate some of the concerns of the Maori members. He first spoke
on the need to fence the war graves at Ohaeawai; it was done the following year.
He asked several times about delays in opening schools for Maori children in Ihaka Te Tai
areas where Maori land had been set aside for the purpose, and was advised by
Robert Stout that the delays were due to local disputes. He expressed concern over the dog tax and
asked if the government had considered giving effect to the recommendation of the Native Affairs
Committee that the tax operate only in towns; he was advised that the government might exempt
certain districts by proclamation but would not amend the Dog Registration Act 1880. Ihaka Te Tai
supported a bill to introduce Bible reading to schools. In 1885 he asked what the government would
do about a dispute caused by Pakeha taking oysters from Maori land at Mangonui. The government's
reply was that the Maori were claiming the oysters under te Tiriti O Waitangi and the issue would
probably have to be decided by the Supreme Court, but the matter went no further at the time.

The major issue on which Ihaka Te Tai spoke in Parliament was that of the control of Maori land. He
favoured the sharing of power between the government and the native committees established in
1883. In reply to Ngati Maniapoto leader Wahanui Huatare, who advocated that all power be given to
the native committees, he said that this would lead to the abuse of power. He supported the bill that
became the Native Land Administration Act 1886 as he thought it would give the owners of the land
control over its disposal and would strengthen chiefly authority. The act gave a role to committees
elected by the owners of blocks of land, but also gave people the right to withdraw an area under a
committee's control and have the land partitioned. Ihaka Te Tai thought this would bring greater
publicity to transactions and prevent the secret sale of land without the knowledge of all the owners.
