Who knew about this? The areas marked "Kahore I Hokona" (=never sold) are land for which there are no purchase agreements by colonial companies. The land was simply taken from Kai Tahu. You'll notice it includes all the Otago Lakes with their pricey real estate. Totally stolen land. #kikorangi

Looking forward to this 🚲.
Looks like some places are still available.
The WEA (Workers' Educational Assn) going strong since 1915 and currently is offering lots of courses. Well worth a check out.

I'm such an egg 🙄. I ordered this kit of Vote to keep Maori Wards stickers and bumper stickers but it's not going to poll in Canterbury.
Who would like them for their districts that will be polling? I'll send them. Let me know.

Would have loved to see Helen Kelly debating Brooke vV and Seymour. She would have demolished them but in the kindest possible way. What a smart and warm person she was, and what a tragedy she died.
