damages historic Mt Albert pā site
Paul Majurey, chair of the Tūpuna Maunga Authority, said the damage to the site appears to be deliberate as a large area around the planted trees was also sprayed with herbicide.
“The management of the Maunga is guided by the spiritual, ancestral, cultural, customary, and historical significance of the Maunga to Ngā Mana Whenua o Tāmaki Makaurau," said Majurey.
“It is tragic that people are desecrating this ancestral Maunga and taonga in complete disregard to the cultural significance.”
