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. These are the closing submissions for Wai 784, a claim by Rodney Graham and others on behalf of themselves and the Kauwhata Treaty Claims Komiti and Ngā Uri Tangata o Ngāti Kauwhata ki Te Tonga (“Wai 784 Ngāti Kauwhata claim”).
