After voting in favour of installing two new replicas of Captain Cook's ship, Endeavour, in the city without consulting local iwi, Gisborne Council has done a flip-flop with Gisborne mayor Rehette Stoltz saying iwi will now be allowed to have their say.
The issue has been a hot topic of discussion on the local iwi radio station, Tūranga FM.
Their reporter Rāhia Timutimu explains.
