Despite the attributes of this claim, it cannot rectify the wrongs of the Government and its laws, which have for so long been appropriating from us all. Appropriating land, destroying customary practice, exploiting people and wrongly acquiring Māori thought. What a beast this is, adept at separating people, breaking up families, splitting sub-tribes and dividing tribes as well. It is hoped that it will still be possible to find benefits in this situation, to create businesses, to grow work, to revive sub-tribes, to enliven customary practice and language, along with other things. That is our desire here today, and of course to work together. Although only 1 percent has been returned to us, we must leave our grandchildren to fight for the other 99 percent.
