The National Urban Māori Authority is calling for a 'Mokopuna Authority' to replace Oranga Tamariki.
They say the government needs to relinquish power and allow Māori to do what it knows works for its own.
Lady Tureiti Moxon will be giving evidence today at a Waitangi Tribunal hearing, underway in Auckland, into the practices of Oranga Tamariki and why there are so many Māori children in state care.
She speaks to Corin Dann.
