Uniting family and tribe
Tuesday 7 May 2013 | Published in Letters to the Editor
Dear Editor, In response to ‘Pa Ariki was the judge and jury’ (May 3) and its references to practices in the 18th century - before people launch into tirades about other people’s manners, they should ask themselves what constitutes ‘manners’ and then discriminate between what is considered correct or unacceptable social behaviour.
