Mana would like to thank the co-editor for the Kuki Aerani section for a commendable effort to keep this section alive. Due to important exams, crucial to the future of his attendance at University, the Kuki Aerani co-editor has to take time out in order to fulfill his needs. Mana thanks the Kuki Aerani co-editor and wishes you all the best in your exams and work at university. Good luck Nandy.

BEING MAORI IS To foul up the Government and its statistics. To have 250,000 brothers and sisters. To occupy God forsaken places. Tough. To never give up the struggle for survival. To wait (impatiently) for another Ngata, POMARE, OR Te Kooti. To be the best you can possibly be at what you do but not to openly compete with your brothers because their welfare is also important. To know the difference between a Maori, a Pakeha-Maori, a Maori-Pakeha and a Pakeha and to beware of the last two. To never drink alone. To be able to dodge daggers at pakeha social gatherings. To be able to go to the pub and look at a pakeha eyeball to eyeball to find out what he’s really made of.
