A host of government ministers, MPs, dignitaries and leaders in the Māori and political world were in attendance for this morning's launch of Heke Tangata: Māori in Markets and Cities at Parliament, Wellington.
An indication of the book's importance was that Finance Minister Grant Robertson found time to attend, just two days out from his government's first budget.
Hosting by the Hon. Willie Jackson, the launch showcased not only this work but distinguished author Brian Easton's long-standing commitment to front the facts about Māori disadvantage and achievement.
A photo gallery of the breakfast launch follows; for more on the book, see coverage in the National Business Review and the Oratia website.
