I take an analogy about the current Treaty partnership between Pākehā and tangata whenua used by uncle Tamati Reedy, who was supposed to be present today but fell ill this morning: the great white shark Pākehā and the kahawai Māori. The great white shark Pākehā and the kahawai Māori: the great white shark said to the kahawai, "Should we form a partnership?" The kahawai replied, "Yes, that sounds like a fantastic idea." The great white shark then ate the kahawai and said, "Now we are one."
