My great grandfather has all the documentation from when the land was bought off the maori. They were not ripped off. Maori live all around the area where my family still live and there's no issue with how/when our land was purchased. Our family helped the maori in the area with building houses etc and since my great grandfather was a photographer he captured a lot of these moments. The photos are amazing.
