Trying to rewrite history
Radio NZ reports:
A Māori legal expert is urging Te Papa to listen to protesters and remove its large display of the English version of the Treaty of Waitangi.
Twelve people were arrested on Monday after attacking the exhibition and using spray paint and an angle grinder to damage a wooden display panel.
The group, Te Waka Hourua says the English text wrongly states that Māori ceded sovereignty.
I do hope Te Papa doesn’t give into vandalism. Both texts, and the differences between them, should be on display.
