Salient’s MPI News Writer Taipari Taua spoke to the Pasifika Law Students Society presidents Tarifa Laban and Marshall Setu on the significance of Piki-Hama to Pasifika law students. The Pasifika Law Students’ Society was set up in the late 1990’s, inspired by Ngā Rangahautira, Te Herenga Waka’s Māori Law Students Association. It started off as a group of Pasifika law students working together to set up extra tutorials for Pasifika law students, which were supported by people like Dean Knight and Joanna Mossop. This led to the establishment of a Pasifika law coordinator role, followed by the creation of the Pasifika Law Students’ Society (PLSS). PLSS exists to provide a safe space and sense of community for our Pasifika law students here at Te Herenga Waka.
