22 sept 1974 año - Meetings at Orakei with Housing Corporation representatives

Descripción:

Orakei Maori Committee claimed it made many requests to the Housing Corporation for the right of residents to buy their State homes but that each request was declined. The matter loomed large in the residents thinking and had an influence on the inability of some to accept a
later proposal to vest the homes in a Ngati Whatua Board. The issue was of
sufficient importance to warrant meetings at Orakei with Housing Corporation representatives on 22 September 1974 and 26 September 1976. From the minutes of those meetings it is apparent that interwoven with the individual
desire to buy, was a concern to keep the homes within the Ngati Whatua tribal
group
