ON AOTEAROA Further to BJ’s letter ( Express, November 28), I invite your readers to look for the ‘‘mystical land of Aotearoa’’ in the Treaty of Waitangi.
They will find that our country's name there is Nu Tirani. How many know that the Kingite rebels of the 1860s had their own flag with the name `Niu Tireni' on it with the same in Government proclamations in Maori in the 1940s? "...Aotearoa", like the lost continent of Atlantis, looks mythical to me. BRUCE MOON Nelson
