Elections will come, and this will be a hard but an exciting era for Ngāti Maru, because you will see before yourselves each other's strengths, your mokopuna's strengths—those you have grown in spite of all odds. Hopefully, there will be some that will be able to consider, for Ngāti Maru, local government and maybe Te Paati Māori. As you grow, so too will your economy, and to grow also is your political advocacy to fight for those who don't believe in your tino rangatiratanga co-governance and want to rewrite Te Tiriti.
