Urgent! Stop the sale of Te Kuri

Urgent! Stop the sale of Te Kuri

6 August 2002

Kia ora,

this message is in two parts: for people in Wellington; and for everyone.

For people in Wellington

Support the Ngai Tämanuhiri Embassy.

From 9am Tuesday 6 August, to 5pm Friday 9 August, there will be a Ngai Tämanuhiri Embassy in parliament grounds from 9am to 5pm each day, demanding that the Crown (NZ government) stops the sale of Te Kuri (Young Nick's Head) to foreign parties.

Go along and support the Ngai Tämanuhiri Embassy, a place of non-violent protest. All visitors welcome; koha or kai would be appreciated. If you're planning any action of your own to oppose the sale of Te Kuri, it would be good if you check it out with the Ngai Tämanuhiri people first.

And you can do the things below too ...

For everyone

Contact your MP, Helen Clark and Michael Cullen - ask whether selling Te Kuri is really 'in the national interest' for all New Zealand, and say you oppose the sale.
