- Description
Shows a Maori youth swearing Maori swear-words which are represented by Maori symbols as he sits on a small bridge with his blistered feet in the cooling water of the stream. Beside him is his dog and his bag and boots. In the distance the hikoi (Maori Land March) is seen disappearing around a corner. Refers to the 1975 Maori land rights march which was led by the Dame Whina Cooper. The march started at the top of the North Island and continued south to terminate at Parliament Buildings in Wellington. The marchers wanted control, retention and management of Maori land to remain with the Maori and their descendants. The land march was timed to coincide with Maori Language Week.
