Ngā marau: Summary: There was a time when Māori were: barred from public toilets, segregated at the cinema & swimming baths, refused alcohol, haircuts & taxi rides, forced to stand for white bus passengers, not allowed to attend school with other students. It happened in the South Auckland town of Pukekohe. From 1925 to the early 1960s, hundreds of Māori infants and children died there in the racially segregated slums where they were forced to live in shacks and manure sheds on the edge of town, away from European residents. Using records from the National Archives and firsthand interviews, No Maori Allowed looks at what happened at Pukekohe and the extent of racial intolerance across the country at this time. In Hamilton, stores refused to let them try on pants. On K Road in Auckland, shops signs read 'No Credit for Maori'. Councils jacked up prices for state houses to keep them out of 'white' neighbourhoods. Hospitals had segregated maternity wards and gave them less expensive cutlery. Banks and shops had official policies of not hiring 'coloureds'.
