THE WORDS OF TIMI KARA
According to Pakeha thinking it is not right for leaders of the Church to involve themselves in Parliamentary disputes, with the provisions of the laws made by Parliament. This perhaps lies behind the condemnation by some people of Te Pipiwharauroa’s strong criticism of the Native Land Settlement Act and its call to the tribes to unite and to paddle the canoes to England with the message to the King that the Government of these islands has trampled on the sacred Treaty made by his mother between them and the Maori.
