We can't be blind to racism': Māori Party seek review of historical monuments

Quote:
Ngarewa-Packer said many statues erected were glorifying acts of rape and murder.

"They weren't put there to remember history, they were put their to glorify and to assert their stamp on the land and that stamp's no longer acceptable."
I wonder what this inquiry would involve and how or if we should consider the context of when these people lived?
