"We are in a critical turning point across Te Ao Māori. Our people have higher expectations of us as leaders and also the Crown. Now, more than ever is the need to whakakotahi - to come together for the benefit and wellbeing of our whānau, hapū and Iwi of Te Taitokerau as Āperahama Taonui foretold". - Chair of Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Whātua, Kahurangi Naida Glavish
