Takitimu District Maori Council, Des Ratima
The government is to blame for the high numbers of Maori in jail, that's according to a Treaty of Waitangi claim that was filed by retired probation officer, Tom Hemopo.
An urgent Waitangi Tribunal hearing was held in Wellington through the last week of July to investigate the claims.
The closing legal arguments will be heard today.
Des Ratima from the Takitimu District Maori Council was present at the hearings.
