give Māori oversight of traditional healing space?
Traditional healers fear echoes of a tool of colonisation, but the Government says it’s listening to concerns as a “messy” law-change makes its way through Parliament. Eugene Bingham reports.
Even before the floodwaters had receded, even before the roads around her Hawke’s Bay home were safe to drive on again, Dr Charlotte Mildon started getting calls for help.
“The marae down the road was asking me to come, and I said ‘as soon as I can, I will’,” says Mildon, recalling the immediate aftermath of Cyclone Gabrielle and the chaos it created in February.
