Whakatāne District Council has apologised to iwi after appropriating a slogan used to fight water bottling consents in the district.
Māori water rights activists said the council s use of the phrase he taonga te wai when encouraging the community to conserve water was appropriation and insulting .
However, the council says it was just trying to incorporate more te reo Māori into its communications and has since apologised and reached out to those offended to have a korero about its future use of te reo.
