In 1998, just as South Island iwi Ngai Tahu was about to sign its
Treaty of Waitangi settlement with the government - justice of
sorts after seven generations of seeking redress - a former
foundryman stepped into the pivotal role of kaiwhakahaere or chair
of Te Runanga o Ngai Tahu, the tribal council of Ngai Tahu, Mark
Solomon stood at the head of his iwi at a pivotal moment and can be
credited with the astute stewardship of the settlement that has
today made Ngai Tahu a major player in the economy and given it
long sought-after self determination for the affairs of its own
people. Bold, energetic and visionary, for 18 years Solomon forged
a courageous and determined course, bringing a uniquely Maori
approach to a range of issues. Now, in this direct memoir, Ta Mark
reflects on his life, on the people who influenced him, on what it
means to lead, and on the future for both Ngai Tahu and Aotearoa
New Zealand.
