Madam Speaker, thank you for the opportunity to speak this afternoon. On reflection, over this year I've had the opportunity to follow my own whānau, in the Mōkai Pātea claim. It's not until you come so close to home and a claim and you follow it through and you become informed and more informed about your own history that you understand the nawe—the hurt—of the past, but particularly the sadness of loss of your story, your reo, and your culture, and the hurt that that's created amongst your people.
