Sue Berman caught up with Dena Jacob - Poukōkiri Rangahau Māori in Waitākere, to talk about the current exhibition Wai 262 The Flora and Fauna Claim. The exhibition runs till 29 February 2020 on level 2 of the Waitakere Central Library. The exhibition brings awareness to Te Tīriti o Waitangi by exploring images of native flora and fauna drawn from manuscripts that date back to 1845. Dena explains the Wa1 262 claim was a Waitangi Tribunal claim lodged in 1991. It was one of the largest and most complex in the Tribunal's history. It was a contemporary claim and focused mainly on the Crown's existing laws, policies and practices. A video and book resources support this exhibition.
