MĀORI STRATEGY NEEDED FOR PRISON PEACE
One of the kaumatua who helped negotiate an end to the riot at Waikeria Prison says it highlights the urgency of implementing the Hōkai Rangi Māori strategy throughout the prison system.
Māori Party co-leader Rawiri Waititi, who accompanied the inmates as they surrendered, says Sunday’s resolution was a Māori solution to a Pākeha problem.
“Gangs are marginalised by society. We did not have gangs before colonisation, before the 1950s,” he says.
