In this issue we celebrate some big victories.

Our cover story goes ringside for a close-up profile of New Zealand heavyweight boxing champion, Shane ‘Mountain Warrior’ Cameron. Fresh from his latest victory against American boxer, Kevin Montiy, Shane admits he sometimes likes to take a quick nap before a fight. He talks frankly about his fights and his dream of becoming the world heavyweight champion.

On a cold day in Wellington hundreds of Maori converged on Parliament to witness the signing of the most significant Treaty agreement since Waitangi. Photographer and journalist Aaron Smale was there to capture the joy brought to central North Island iwi by the historic signing of the ‘Treelords’ forest agreement and to ask what it will mean for future generations.

And what’s really happening up at Te Rerenga Wairua - Cape Reinga? We look at the changes being made at this wahi tapu and what they mean to the local people.
