Throughout history, certain individuals with a rare passion for justice & a gift of insight have been able to rally & motivate people through periods of great social change, sometimes defying all odds & being greatly misunderstood in the process.
Tahupotiki Wiremu Ratana was such a man, called to prominence at a pivotal time, with a message for the Māori people & for the wider world. After a profound vision he became a healer of people's physical ailments, a lifter of ancient curses & a prime mover in healing the ‘land sickness of the Māori, after decades of land confiscation by the Government & the Crown.
As founder of the Ratana Church & the Ratana movement, he led his followers in the quest to unite all Māori under one God, and to restore the Treaty of Waitangi as the founding document of the nation, giving Māori equal rights to British citizens.
