Herald on Sunday 22/1/17 100 PER CENT KIWI AND IT'S KA PAI I am 7/8 European and 1/8 Maori. I openly admit my European ancestors took over New Zealand illegally. I also hold all 8/8 of me are better off for it, as neither people now live under the restrictions each faced a mere 200 years ago. I wish New Zealand as a whole would let the divisive Waitangi go. The divisive, racist, apartheid Treaty of Waitangi needs to be sent to the grave where it belongs. Colonialism for all its ills at least got us established as a developed, modern society. I admit colonialism was wrong but both my peoples would not have become a modern society any other way. KEN MAYNARD, Papatoetoe sites.google.com/site/kiwifrontline/letters-submitted-to-newspapers
