TE WAKA HUIA SETS IHUMĀTAO ROAD BLOCK GALA UNDERWAY
The "Road Block" title of the gala takes its name from the group's opposition to a new road being connected to the proposed housing site at Ihumātao.
"Construction of the new road right behind our Māori Wardens office is complete and we are now being pressured to move off Oruarangi Road so they can break through to connect the road to the proposed housing site. We have told them we WILL NOT BE MOVED. As a whaanau, we are calling all whenua protectors to bring back the energy to the whenua and show the Government, Auckland Council and Fletcher Building Ltd that we are resolute in our stance until they return the land," a post on the Ihumātao Road Block Gala group's Facebook page says.
