Otira ko te nuinga o nga korero kei te tukua mai kei te reo Pakeha anake. Mehemea hoki ka nui mai nga korero i tuhia ki te reo Maori ka whakanuia ake te wahanga o ta tatou pukapuka mo nga korero Maori. Statements in signed articles in Te Ao Hou are the responsibility only of the writers concerned. editor: Joy Stevenson.
