747229 2009-02-13 09:47:00 Right, according to me mum, I'm Ngaiti Whatua (Did I spell it right).

I don't think I'm prepared to argue this point. I also don't think the opposition are prepared to deal with me mum.

You obviously did not read and digest my comments. There never was an "Aotearoa." It was a name invented by a European called William Pember Reeves.

I'm certain that the majority of people in this country will agree that Michael King is one of the most respected historians in NZ and he said that the name Aotearoa was popularised in the book "The Long White Cloud" but the name was fictional.

Read the quote I posted from Michael King and forget all that nonsense.:illogical
