Report: The Reclamation Festival at Ihumātao

Yesterday, a petition was delivered to parliament by Save Our Unique Landscape, the group occupying the land at Ihumātao and opposing the sale of the land to Fletcher. The petition demands the government take action to stop the development of the land and return it to mana whenua. A couple of Saturdays ago, there was a Reclamation Festival at Ihumātao hosted by mana whenua as a way of bringing people together to understand and celebrate the kaupapa behind the occupation. Louis Laws went along and made this report.
