So, what are we learning here?
Should I gather a few others, get ourselves naked and painted up with wode, and start cracking some skulls whenever I feel my culture is under threat?
I'm all for sharing our cultural diversity, but one culture should not have the right to override another, particularly when it's someones wishes expressed in a will.
However, I feel the media are mainly portraying this as a cultural issue when its really about a grieving daughter acting very very foolishly.
Either way - shame on you Hikairo Marae. And shame on you Taumarunui police for closing the roads to the marae. I accuse you both of aiding and abetting the offering of indignities to a body.
And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.
