Support the Hikoi

[Oh_hunnihunni]

I know how this land enters the blood and bones of those of us blessed enough to live our lives here. I know too how having the Treaty makes us a unique country among the many colonised nations of the world and how important it is to those tangata whenua we share this country with. Including the one I gave birth to, and the mokopuna she has given me. It is about respect. It is about continuing to uplift tangata whenua, and being mindful of all that we have gained at their expense. It is about denying racism, and valuing the gift that is this nation. It is about my pride in being a New Zealander, by birth, by choice, and by generational sacrifice by my warrior ancestors.

So I support the hikoi, I have made my public submission to Parliament on the bill, and I am immensely proud to be one of those pakeha who have also stood up to demand our leadership honours the Treaty.
