Haere rā to a giant of the legal profession (we're gonna leave this up here for a while)
Moana Jackson was a man with great mana and his passing marks a sad day for justice in Aotearoa.
His work as a lawyer, and as an advocate for change, stretches back decades. Moana's whakapapa is through Ngāti Porou and Ngāti Kahungunu but his work had impacts for Māori across the whenua. |
His approach to the pāmamae (distress) as a result of te Tiriti o Waitangi was academic, intelligent and tolerant. It helped his arguments cut through to Pākeha: many of whom felt threatened by the claims raised by Māori.
Perhaps in death Moana can achieve what he aimed to do throughout his career: reduce prejudice and create a just society for all in Aotearoa. Photo: Wikipedia |
