What our readers have had to say about TangataWhenua.com

"Nga mihimihi o te wa ki a koe. Kei te pai tou Panui, he mahi ataahua. As my friend wrote to me this morning, when telling me about Rangikainga Issue 2, your panui is a "huge and wonderful compendium of the renaissance". The vibrancy of it all is so visible in this electronic format, and the news comes from nga hau e wha – all around the motu and indeed from te ao whanui."

"I have long been a fan of your efforts in communicating what's happening in Te Ao Maori in an inclusive and conversational way, and regard your e-panui as an excellent way of keeping informed of a wide variety of events and developments."
