Dr Barnett Bond: A LETTER TO THE UNIVERSITY OF OTAGO.
You wrote to me an undated letter which I received today, and you asked me to donate funds to the university for scholarships and other things.
But a short time ago you announced that you were spending 1.3 million dollars changing the name of the university to have a new (changed) Māori name. Really? 1.3 million? Can you give me a cost break down on that? Which individuals and which organisations do re-branding work that costs 1.3 million?
How many additional doctors would $1.3 million train? Teachers?
My own extended family has lots of Māori and lots of non-Māori in it. It is quite clear to me that there is not just the one Māori world-view that you write about on your web site. There are many Māori views and none of my Māori whanau want to see New Zealand divided along racial lines. None of them think that a victim-oppressor view of European migration is in the slightest helpful to relationships in our family and nation today. All my Māori whanau think that the outlawing by the European migrants of Māori inter-tribal slavery and cannibalism was a very good thing.....
