  1. Kia Ora e hoa, what a clever presentation but also very sad. You inspired me to look further and I found this out 'The signed document provided for the chiefs to give up their people's customary title on 7,000,000 acres (2,800,000 ha) of whenua in return for £300 (about $1.00 per 100 acres) with 6,724 acres reserved for the people of the iwi'. I wonder how this makes you feel? What do you think it would have been like to live in Hokitika in 1868? It would be exciting to watch the ships come in to port loaded with supplies you may never have seen before. I wonder what they carried?
