I do believe - that since Maori Language is an issue that consumes the nation - on both sides of the debate - it is time to bring some reality and truth to the table.
When I go to the internet to research this issue - it is impossible not to notice that only one side of the debate can be found - and that one side - the Maori side - is being well represented - especially on Government and Maori oriented websites. So we are going to have to apply our wits - our common sense - and our basic intelligence - to look at this for what it is - starting from the bottom up.
Maori language in its pure form - before Europeans arrived with English and French - was a language that like it or not - was an unwritten language - and the only means of communication between warring tribes of very primitive people on a set of Islands isolated by a vast ocean from the civilisation at large.
