Things are moving forward in bold steps for the land disputes in Ihumatao, the Stonefields Historic Reserve which was confiscated from Maori in 1863.

With Fletcher’s plan to develop housing units on 32 hectares of land,  which is part of the rare cultural heritage landscape in Ihumatao, a petition was made against that move.

Now, Following the powerful and moving hikoi through Wellington streets on March the 12th to present their petition to Government,  The Save Our Unique Landscape Campaign, the SOUL movement, will take the near 19,000-strong petition to Auckland Council on April the 9th, outside of Aotea Square.

Louis talks with SOUL co-founder and social activist Qiane Matata-Sipu, about the movement and their petition.
