Description

Māori protest is not the disorganised and isolated activity of a minority radical element...    What have Māori been protesting about? What has been achieved? This book provides an overview of the contemporary Māori protest ‘movement’, a summary of the rationale behind the actions, and a wonderful collection of photographs of the action – the protests, the marches and the toil behind the scenes. And it provides a glimpse of the fruits of that protest – the Waitangi Tribunal and the opportunity to prepare, present and negotiate Treaty settlements; Māori language made an official language; Māori-medium education; Māori health providers; iwi radio and, in 2004, Māori television.. At least one lesson of Hikoi 2004 is clear: rather than never repeating, history is fated to repeat, and repeat again, until its lessons are learned.
