TAAHAE / STOLEN #occupyshellybay #mauwhenua “It's not for us … it’s for our future generations to make sure they’ve got a place to come to, a turangawaewae (a place to stand),” iwi member Josh Parata said.
Mau Whenua, a collective of Taranaki Whānui members, have been peacefully occupying the land since last November (2020), when Wellington City Council sold and leased sections of land to The Wellington Company – the final property in the area necessary for their proposed half billion dollar residential development.
