Dear Editor, (Sent to the NZ Herald 26/2/20)
So Taxpayers pay $18 million and apologize to Moriori survivors for neglect of their ancestors' appeals in the 1860s.
Well, how about an apology and a few million from Ngati Mutunga and Ngati Tama for virtually exterminating them before the Treaty of Waitangi was even thought about?

My response is regarding the article 'Rangiaowhia - War crime' in Stuff [19.2.20] and possibly the Herald as most of this article is just lies and your journalists should do their research before writing such articles!
There never was a massacre at Rangiaowhia, both churches were still standing till just a few years ago when one was pulled down, never burned!
Please write an article portraying the true and correct story. There are plenty of avenues to research the true and correct version of this incident, not a massacre!
It is tiresome the relentless stories to blame the so called 'Colonials’ for everything!
If it wasn’t for the Colonials, NZ would not be the prosperous country it is today, so some truth & respect please?
