Takaparawha Speaking Tour

The people at Takaparawha (Bastion Point) will be sending representatives to Wellington to speak to meetings of union members, colleges and other interested groups as part of a national tour which will take in maraes, towns and cities throughout the country. The speakers' job will be to tell as many people as possible about the day-to-day running of the camp and of how the protest is succeeding, and to gain wider support for the protest. The next issue of Salient will publish the dates and venues of the tour and an article covering the history of the struggle to reclaim and preserve Maori land since 1970, and the importance of Takaparawha for the Maori Land Movement.
