A CONCERN

We are experiencing fear and anxiety since we have seen the shadow of the knife piercing the throat of the Maori. Perhaps it was a dream. It is said that before death or disaster strike a man he is visited with apprehension – anxiety. Such was our vision. Was it a dream or was it real? People, we believe that the Pakeha and the Government have threaded on a hook to catch us Maori. A hook is deceptive, it is concealed by the bait.
