By Rachael Selby
This book is written in English.
The author's plea in Still Being Punished is for a greater understanding of why kaumātua and kuia (old Māori men and women) do not speak Māori. She says, 'The psychological effect of literally being beaten for speaking Māori has stayed with them all their lives. Today they’re being punished by their own children and grandchildren for not speaking Māori. They are "still being punished".'
