Congratulations are due to Ryan Wood for his excellent description of the baseless claims being touted as facts (page 2 The Weekend Sun, March 2).

I raise this issue regarding the treaty because it is so rare to read the truth about our history.

I believe there are those who would separate us and use the divide and rule principle. They are called the separatists and although small in number have done a lot of damage to New Zealand.

‘The pen is mightier than the sword' is a true statement. I hope for the day when you, dear reader, realise that you need to pick up your pen and write about your wish for our country.

Well done Ryan Wood.
