This afternoon, Dame Cindy and the Chief of Navy, Rear Admiral Garin Golding were treated to a rousing powhiri at the Waitangi Treaty Grounds. Dame Cindy reflected on the complex legacy of the Grounds, the role it has played in growing the relationship between tangata whenua and tangata tiriti, the part New Zealanders play in its ongoing legacy, and her hopes for future generations.
