He also acknowledged the tamariki—the children—that didn't sign the petition but that were there at that particular time, and it's those generations that are all the more important in this debate, in this bill, and in the future of Aotearoa New Zealand and the future of Moriori. It's important that we share their stories in our New Zealand history, in the books that we read and the stories that we tell, so that they know the whakapapa—that they know the history—of those particular islands, and one particular analogy that stood out from Matua Maui for me today was the analogy of Rangi and Papa as an analogy of this particular journey. It's a story that we share between Māori and our Moriori whānau, and he talked about the 10 pillars. In Māoridom, we talk about the demigods that stand between Rangi and Papa and that help them to separate. Maui talked about the pillars, and as this journey continues—and today is another step—that light shines upon this particular whānau.
