He focuses on the importance of the wardens' presence and visibility, and a sense of safety and reassurance. "The biggest impact for Maori wardens is to provide a presence which gives people confidence," he explains. Williams emphasises the need for continuous support and training to maintain their effectiveness and uphold the values of aroha ki te tangata (love of the people). He explains the historical roots of the Maori wardens, tracing their origins to the 19th century when they were established to protect community meetings. And he dreams of a future of autonomy where wardens can perform their duties without reliance on the Crown. "Maori wardens need to have their own mana motuhake (autonomy) and work with their people."
