A-Dub š„"In the end, itās about relationships. Te Tiriti was always meant to be a partnership ā a mutually beneficial agreement between peoples. That vision still exists. MÄori havenāt withdrawn the invitation. The door is still open and weāre seeing more and more people walk through it.
Thatās what gives us hope. The future of this country will not be shaped solely by whoever is in power at any given moment. Itās being shaped every day by teachers, parents, kaumÄtua, rangatahi, social workers, union delegates, health workers, and neighbours ā people who are choosing honesty over defensiveness, and connection over fear."
