"In 1969 we went on a Maori Studies field trip up round the East Coast. This was my first extended period of time among Maoris who spoke Maori. Their discussion ranged over a whole field of things, but the most important thing that came out of it was the question of Pakehas and Maoris learning Maori. At that time I decided I understood so little of what was going on that I was going to make sure that in future I did."
