these claims on the water are really ridiculous, this is a maori land filled with many other kinds of people we must come together and make our country a better place to live in for this generation and the nxt. we as maori need to make a stand and fight for our rights and our assets for we treasure them so that they dont be lost and live on for the years to come .
