He mahi kai hōaka
We're proud of the country we've built on the foundations of Te Tiriti. This page is a collection of editorial pieces expressing views held across our iwi. Its title comes from the Ngāi Tahu proverb He mahi kai tākata, he mahi kai hōaka – It is work that consumes people, as greenstone consumes sandstone. The opinion pieces span issues such as the impact of the government's legislative proposals, water infrastructure, Iwi representation and much more.
