Moana Jackson: Portrait of a quiet revolutionary | nzherald.co.nz

Called a disruptor, navigator, transformer and visionary, Moana Jackson was many things to many people. Towards the end of his battle with cancer he sat down to talk about his life and groundbreaking work in Māori criminal justice and constitutional reform with broadcaster and ‘niece’ Moana Maniapoto.

Thanks NZHerald for this item; Condolences to the whanau for their loss;
We too are sad to have lost a valuable warrior in the fight for reasoned governance;
We know that Moana was an educated, well mannered man; and will no doubt be remembered among the home fires and afar for his scholarship and reservation; his manner and conduct was admirable and he strived to be that ‘perfect man’ in speech and temperment; a giant on whose shoulders We might stand; however, for all of Moanas influence to amend the colonial justice systems inherent flaws from ‘within’, there remained the old adage, “it is impossible to change the status quo, while a persons salary relies on maintaining it”;

In the 1970s Moanas Dad met on a monthly basis with other Ngati Porou workers from Watties for a catch up morning tea, I met Moanas Dad at the meetings as my Mother in law was from Waipiro Bay and enjoyed the Watties catch ups with all the old staff and family relations. Nice meetings at Mrs Lawsons unit in Mahora Hastings. I have a few family stories about Moanas family when they lived up the east coast and their All Black connections.
