I look back at the historical background that has underpinned this, right back to 1840, when Maniapoto rangatira who signed Te Tiriti o Waitangi at the heads of the Waikato River, at Kāwhia, and I look at the rangatira who were represented from Maniapoto. They were under the leadership of Rewi Maniapoto and others who fought Crown troops at places I know well, like Meremere, Pāterangi, and Ōrākau, and it has a sad, painful history that others have recounted here in the House this afternoon.
