Earthworks on Punakewhitu, which is privately owned by John Oskam, have been suspended, after dozens of members from the local hapū Ngāti Tuera and Ngāti Hinearo stepped in.
Ken Mair (Ngāti Tuera, Ngāti Hinearo) who is chair of Porangahau marae, which is situated less than a kilometre from the maunga, said it was a wahi tapū to his people, and was a part of their identity. It s deeply spiritual to us and immensely significant to us and to see this damage and desecration of our maunga by outsiders, I mean it really saddens and angers us and that s an understatement.
