Dr Pounamu Jade Aikman was recently at Harvard University and his studies include indigenous relationships to the land and environment. He says in Aotearoa 71 per cent of Maori owned homes in 1936, but that rate has plummeted to below 40 per cent today. Should this pattern continue, by 2061 'Maori will almost entirely be renters'.
