874237	2010-04-08 05:17:00	fishing temporarily banned in NZ: nz.news.yahoo.com so who owns the water? If it's in a 50 mile radius,Maori,including air waves.	Cicero (40)
874238	2010-04-08 05:19:00	Looks like the local iwi do. Thats why they've banned it	Speedy Gonzales (78)
874239	2010-04-08 05:27:00	What if they find the body today, and want shellfish for the tangi tomorrow? Ken	kenj (9738)
874240	2010-04-08 05:29:00	Well, since its not a maori thats missing, they probably wont have one	Speedy Gonzales (78)

A rahui is declared to stop fishing in that stretch of water until the body is located and the water is cleansed of any contamination. Makes sense to me - who wants to eat eels, paua, crayfish etc that have been grazing on a dead body, particularly if it is your relation? Move along folks, no story here, nothing to do with ownership or "fishing banned in NZ". It is just the resident twonk trying his stirring again.	John H (8)

874243	2010-04-08 05:45:00	Well said / put John If that was so it would be a 1st!	Cicero (40)
874244	2010-04-08 05:49:00	What would be a 1st?? Its normal practice for them to do that, like John said	Speedy Gonzales (78)

No one owns the water. But it is a standard custom to cleanse the area, not uncommon to NZ, found else where as well in the world in various cultures. Probably on other planets as well.:sleep	PinoyKiw (9675)
