He says to win votes by campaigning on indigenous rights is a hard task.

The Leader also says the i-Taukei population needs to take their culture and traditions seriously.

He says the party can’t afford to campaign for indigenous rights when the i-Taukei’s are less concerned about these issues.

The SODELPA leader says it is vital for the indigenous people to know the importance of owning their land, qoliqoli and preserving their rights.
