The old sad joke comes to mind that the missionaries arrived and the Maori had the land and the missionaries had the Bible; the missionaries said, let us pray and when the Maori opened their eyes, they had the Bible and the missionaries had the land. Something that appears to have happened all over our country.
If anyone should have been paying the just under five million dollars for the little bit of land, it should have been the Anglican Church before they returned the land to Ngati Toa Rangatira, while apologizing for never building the promised school.
Just one other point, Radio NZ should be ashamed of charging such a huge amount for the land. I can only hope that the amount RNZ will be paying to lease the land under the masts, will be a reflection of the purchase price.

The Nest Collective need TOYS! (Rattles and other hard toys like the ones pictured as opposed to soft toys). If you have any of these type of toys, The Nest Collective would love them to include in their packs of essentials for babies in families in need. They already have a good supply of soft toys though. They have a drop off location at the Tawa Community Centre.
Wishing you all bright days! Happy Diwali from the Neighbourly Team 💚🕯️

One simple way that would make a huge impact is by setting up a Christmas Giving Tree in your office or business, where customers and your staff can pop in a non-perishable food item or an unwrapped gift.
We’d love to help make it as easy as possible for your customers to spread a bit of Christmas cheer to local families in need.
KCA for the past 11 years (this will be our 12th year) provides food to feed 260 people at Te Rauparaha Arena on Christmas Day. Last year we were the main sponsors of this event.
Many thanks.
A trailblazing Māori scholar has finally received the recognition she deserves — nearly 100 years after her passing.

Mākereti Papakura, believed to be the first Indigenous woman to study at the University of Oxford, has been awarded a posthumous degree certificate.
Papakura sadly passed away in 1930, just weeks before she was due to present her thesis. Her research was later published as The Old-Time Māori — the first ethnographic study written by a Māori author.
We hope this brings a smile!
