Dear Editor, (Sent to the Northland Age & Wanganui Chronicle 13/6/20)
Front page of Saturday Chronicle Maori Party Co Leader Ngarewa- Packer (European Name) says is it time to rewrite history, as long as you allow the true history out.
She says there’s no better place to start than Pakaitore / Moutoa Gardens, the true fact is Pakaitore was never at Moutoa Gardens it was further down the river and washed away by a flood.
The Mayor said that he would relish the change to re-examine history with input from iwi and hapu, but he does not want any input from the rest of us pre-Maori.
Hamish also mention his relationship with tangata whenua was pretty appalling. Well Hamish the tangata whenua were the people here before the Maori. Yes lets bring the truth out.

Re article by Marama Davidson in Sunday star times 7 June. ( Tragedy deserves action not words) How can we achieve equality in New Zealand. We must force our politicians to abolish all racial separatist organizations, agencies and legislation by 2020 . All Legislation and Government departments which refer to a particular must be abolished.
This could be achieved by putting pressure on the political parties and the politicians standing for office in the 2020 election. There is no reason why we cannot have one law/ legislation for all New Zealanders and stop this conspiracy which is rapidly destroying our Nation.
The Treaty must be put to rest and the constitution of one people, one law, one land, enacted into law. We encouraged South Africa to do this, it is now our turn.
Are you Marama prepared to do this.

Dear Editor, (Sent to the Bay of Plenty Times 5/6/20)
When Hongi returned from his raid on southern tribes in 1821 he brought back 2000 prisoners.
One of the latest cannibal feasts was held at Ohariu by Te Rauparaha when 150 of Muaupoko tribe went to the ovens.
These were some of the Warriors – land and power were their prizes and feasts at the end. They could not stop UTU revenge was their motivation and they had no way of stopping these horrible wars. Slavery was common and life was cheap – under the main post of the meeting houses a slave was killed for good luck.
So came the whalers, the convicts and the immigrants and with them firearms.
The Maori chiefs and land owners sold their land for muskets – not once but many times.
Sir Apirana Ngata reports “At times of the Treaty, t he chiefs were disputing among themselves the titles and boundaries between their lands. They fought with guns, with patu, to take by conquest the land of others, or to bar the way of others intent on conquest”.
“The chiefs arose and began selling the land whether it was their own or someone else’s” as recorded by Sir William Morris Chief Judge of the supreme court. Parliament therefore acted and passed the Maori Land Act of 1862.
Nowhere in the entire world has any native been treated with such dignity and given a treaty at their own request , to protect themselves (the Maori)
