AUCKLAND DOMAIN PARKING BAN TO BE ENFORCEDPukekaroa, the volcanic mound in the middle of the sportsfield area, was once a pā site and is of great significance to the mana whenua of Tāmaki Makaurau. The enforcement of the parking ban provides a tool to protect this taonga and site of significance. Independent Māori Statutory Board spokesman Renata Blair says Ngati Whatua Orakei and Waikato-Tainui in particular are very pleased that the parking ban will now be enforced. “This was the site where the first Māori King, Potatau Te Wherowhero resided." “In previous times it was a thriving Tainui village and any archaeological taonga on the maunga will be protected by the measures taken by the Domain Committee." “The original carvings on the sacred site were recently restored in 2017 at Pukekaroa and I am pleased that these will also be protected.”..... ourauckland.aucklandcouncil.govt.nz/articles/news/2017/12/auckland-domain-parking-ban-to-be-enforced/

Remember how a Maori activists treated our taonga, the Americas Cup, when he smashed it up? It seems respect is a one way street in NZ.
