Hone's call to put a copy of the dec in every maori household is a really good idea although I would take it further and offer a copy to all households in this country. This aspirational goal is exactly that - something to aspire to and the more we align and move towards the aspirations included within that dec then the better off we will all be.
And secondly we will
Tuhoe have discussed the treaty settlement issues and others relating to the police terror raids in Tuhoe territory, with phil goff - that is important because labour were government when the raids took place - another shameful episode for them.
Tuhoe will set a higher standard for other settlements and future settlements will be coloured by this one and the UN dec. We are seeing massive changes beginning to occur and we must embrace them, we must celebrate them. We are in this waka together but as I have said many times - it is a waka.

If Tuhoe, get the Urerewa National Park back, New Zealanders will be systematically locked out of one of the country's most serene jewels in the conservation estate. It should remain in the ownership of the CROWN for all New Zealanders to enjoy forever, not some Maori elite who will just keep it to themselves.

There is no evidence that what you say will happen - will actually happen.
The park was wrongly taken from the people that live there and have lived there for generations and correcting that wrong is a positive for the people and everyone.
I just don't see maori locking out everyone else - I don't think it will happen.
