Summary: Maori Sovereignty became an issue immediately the first musket shot over the acquisition of land was heard. There have been attempts in nearly every generation to re-establish 'Maori Sovereignty'. Nothing in the past has been presented with such clear articulation as Donna has done ... It challenges the rest of New Zealand to either put its house in order or to vacate. Strong stuff - too strong I fear for many in either side of the house. -- Manuhuia Bennett, Bishop of Aotearoa.Summary: Maori Sovereignty to many may seem an impossible dream, but I see it as the only way Maoridom can emerge from a vacuum created by colonialism - to emerge and spread its wings. I believe that Donna Awatere's work spells out what htis dream is all about. It is a challenge to Maoridom to change the dream into reality. A people without dreams will perish. -- Eva Rickard.
