Recently, Chief Walking Buffalo of the Rocky Mountain Sioux Tribe in Canada arrived in New Zealand with a force of eight Indian leaders including Chief David Crowchild of the Sarcee Tribe. In this picture they stand with Sir Eruera Tirikatene, Associate Minister of Maori Affairs on the steps of New Zealand Parliament House. In welcoming the chief and his party, Sir Eruera said, “Through Moral Re-Armament you have found a greater way, a better way that the world would emulate. You will leave in your wake a message of humbleness and reverence which will win the hearts of many people in the world.” Chief Walking Buffalo and his party were greeted by many tribes throughout the country. They were also welcomed by King Koroki's tribe on his pa at Turangawaewae, Ngaruawahia. Speaking on several Maraes the chief emphasised that he was overjoyed to be welcomed by people of his own colour who could also be his own relations. He went on to say that the purpose of their visit was to bring Moral Re-Armament to the peoples of every land, because it is creating unity between men and nations. He went on to say, “We need to remember what God has put us in this world for. We must go back and see where we have straved from living the absolute standards of absolute honesty, absolute purity, absolute unselfishness and absolute love. If we decide to do the will of God, then people of every race, creed or colour will live together in peace and harmony.
