For those of you who haven't been down to that beautiful valley, it sits nestled on the banks of the Waitara River in the heart of the territory that from the outside may look isolated and rugged, but traditionally was criss-crossed with important tracks and trade routes. We have heard much over the three readings of the history and we have heard your lament. We have heard the lament for the loss and the degradation of the forests, the rivers and wetlands, and the maunga, and the deforestation, the pollution, and the run-off has had such a significant impact on the Waitara. The Waitara, obviously, we've heard today, isn't the only river that is connected to you, but it was one that has had such an impact on this traditional source of transport and sustenance and inhabitation.
