NZ Wars national day of commemoration

Rowan Patrick made this Official Information request to Ministry of Māori Development

This request has an unknown status. We're waiting for Rowan Patrick to read a recent response and update the status.

From: Rowan Patrick

Kia ora Ministry of Māori Development,

I would like all TPK reports, correspondence, minutes, etc., relating to the discussion, planning, and implementing of the NZ Wars national day of commemoration (now officially He Rā Maumahara, Te Pūtake o Te Riri) since 2000. I realise some of this will sit with MCH and other agencies. I am especially interested in the earlier discussions around a possible day of commemoration, prior to the Ōtorohanga school petition in 2015, such as iwi leaders and other stakeholders.

Thanks for your time

Ngā mihi

Rowan
