An accurate prediction

Ko te maheni o Te Ao Hou i whakaputaina e Te Tari Māori tētahi o ngā huarahi tuatahi i puta ai ngā pakimaero Māori. I ia tau i tū tētahi whakataetae mā ngā kaituhi tamariki – i te tau 1960 ko Pita Sharples tērā i toa i te whakataetae. Nō muri mai ka arataki ia i te Pāti Māori. I roto i tana pūrongo mō te whakataetae i te tau 1960 ka tuhi te ētita a Bruce Mason, ‘E matapae ana ahau i roto i te tekau tau ka puea ake tētahi autaia kaituhi Māori; kua oti kē te para te huarahi mōna.’ I te tau 1972 ka whakaputa te pakimaero tuatahi a te Māori – nō te tau 1969 ka whakairotia te pukapuka a Witi Ihimaera a Pounamu, pounamu.
