Any loss of tikanga or kawa is detrimental to our people. The Crown has restricted us in so many ways. We have been left with almost no place to exist as Māori. Our ability to exercise rangatiratanga has been taken away from us. In Kauwhata, a resurgence has begun, but there is still a long way to go.1 - Rodney Graham 1.
