Article in NYT about a New Zealand stone sculptor. Great work and with insights into Māori-Pakeha relations.: “I’ve got a lot of respect for him and how he goes down the right avenues to source New Zealand stone,” he added. “Yes, he’s Pakeha, but he understands the tikanga about connecting to the stone,” Mr. Gardiner said, referring to Māori cultural lore, “and asking the tangata whenua for permission to use it.”
