I want to acknowledge Ngāti Rangitihi for the work, for the years and years of advocacy, and for the grace that you have shown in coming again and again and doing what is tika, and working the processes and the laws of this land in order to seek redress. I thank you for your grace. I thank you for the efforts and for the people who have gone before you and for your loss. I thank you for telling the stories and laying the story of your loss out for us. It is so very important that we as a nation come to understand what happens in this country when we have loss. It is generational and it is painful. I want to say this small quote: "Trauma is not what happens to us, but what we hold inside in the absence of an empathetic witness." May you understand that we will become that empathetic witness and that we will hear you.
