3:35 That's not correct. The land wars were instigated by landthirsty British landowing elite dissatisfied with the 50 years of peace since the signing of the treaty as well as a handful of politicians with the same motives. And together, they got together settlers that were disatisfied with the size of their land grant plots (which they got for free from the British government for either 1. Getting passage to NZ on a ship (eg. Just getting there) or 2. For reward for British soldiers for participating in British conquest campaigns in India, Malaya, China, Africa, Australia, the Americas etc. Crimea. Anyway, back to the matter. The dissatisfied guys got together, formed militia and on many occasions attacked and cleared native settlements in order to dislodge the local tribe from primarily, 1. alluvial floodplains for conversion to lucrative pasture land, 2. Areas rich in immediately harvestable/exploitable resources such as Luxury hardwood forest regions, gold deposit regions, amber and gem regions, etc. That was the cause of the post treaty land wars. Not some *other* reason. Now in 2020 there is tonnes of evidence and literary works and records from both British and Colonial official planning documents and other records such and diaries and commanders logs etc. And Maori records also. There's tonnes of information available in the public domain nowadays. What you said in the video, with respect, is not true. It's like saying the earth is triangle. The important question I want to know for your decision to broadcast that idea is: Why would you select that course of action. Are you after something?

Not all settlers were given land. There is documented evidence that my ancestors, who arrived in 1841, leased land from the Maori for farming and then purchased it in small chunks as they could afford. I also ask what difference all this makes today. Some people seem to be of the view that all white people inherit land or money, and that it passes down thru generations. My grandparents on both sides were not home owners. We had the basics but there is nothing to inherit and nor would I expect it. Maori, like anyone else, can buy land by working, and also are likely to own land thru their iwi. So let's just all get on with it and stop using the past to create division

The Māori as a whole didn't commit the genocide. It was two iwi - Ngāti Mutunga and Ngāti Tama - that invaded Rēkohu (the Chatham Islands).

Our ancestors were slaughted for speaking our language, our carvings burned (in the north). British dug our ancestors up and displayed their heads in a museum. Our ancestors and spiritual leaders were imprisoned in the hopes they could destroy our culture! Our children, elders and men all killed and pushed out when my people stood firm and wouldn’t leave their lands. My people forced to fight the white-man’s war. When they returned as broken men their families suffered and now to this day my people are still suffering from generational trauma. We lived off the land and only took what we needed.

All over the world, this narrative exists. There are SO many glaring inconsistencies and fallacies to this revisionist history. The story people love to tell is "we brown people were absolutely peaceful, all living in harmony until evil whitey came along" and it's very obvious this isn't true. At least, to those who understand human history. If the goal was genocide, why would the Euros bother getting together to make treaties? How easy would it have been to do achieve genocide? (Answer: extremely easy) And why are so many towns and cities still to this day (in this case) named after Maori and their culture/language? And to your final point, and your cultural pride is noteworthy and impressive, the "they will never destroy us" is because nobody chooses to do that or ever did choose to do that. You know very well that if the powers at be had chosen to eliminate Maori people, it would have taken mere hours. Maybe even just minutes. But nobody wants that, that's why it never happened nor will ever happen, not because it's not possible. Be realistic.

[@ElusivGaming]

I think we can agree mistakes were made back then, I'm a immigrant from the UK but moved here 18 years ago as a teenager and I'm not going to apologise for what "my" people did because I'm not from 150 years ago, I'm from now. We live in a different world now and that does not make up for the mistakes that people made back then but it does mean we can all move forward and stop this "Us and Them" thing, it's not helping your people to progress and move on and prosper as a people, it's just causing more division between us all and we all live here together.

Dylan Carse Gavin Menzies theories on Chinese exploration here to Aotearoa have not yet scientifically been confirmed and they remain only compelling theories. That Zheng made the voyages in 1421 isn’t contested. Only Menzies theories from his interpretations of maps held in China are questioned. Asian migrations into Micronesia begin between 10 and 8 thousand years ago. Micronesian migration into Melanesia commence between 8 to 5 thousand years ago. Melanesian exploration into Polynesia occurs between 5 to 3 thousand years ago. Polynesian migration to Aotearoa commences at least 2000 years ago at a steady rate Millenia before Europeans invent the means to navigate by longitude and latitude on sea with accurate time technology. Tasman arrived here in 1642. Cook arrived here in 1769. The theory that red haired Europeans preceded Polynesian ancestors of the māori culture that developed endemically here in Aotearoa over 2000 years is totally debunked genetically. The old attempt at commenting on the “red hair” gene as being possessed solely by Eurocentric cultures is a falsehood ... all haplo groups from Asia to Polynesia possess the recessive gene for red hair which shows up naturally within polynesian cultures intergenerationally as commonly as it does in red haired Europeans. The agenda to suggest European white cultures as preceding māori polynesian ancestors is a proactive attempt by white suoremacist groups attempting to undermine māori claim to tangata whenuatanga as a political means to end the validity of Te Tiriti o Waitangi / Treaty of Waitangi foundations of the true sovereignty of Māori duplicitously undermined by the advent if two separate Treaties, one written in Te Reo Māori recognising the mana of māori over their lands, waters and estates signed by over 300 chiefs: and the other written in English deceitfully as a treaty of cessation only signed by 30 or so māori. Your statements are an attempt to perpetuate half truths, misinformation, lies and fabrications with no basis for genuine evidence. This is unconscionably disingenuous ... and frankly intolerable. The old view that māori arrived here from Polynesia is a fallacy. Polynesian ancestors arrived here replete with Polynesian culture and the Protopolynesian base languages which we share amongst each other. But the culture that Tasman and Cook engaged with were an endemic native culture coevolved here in Aotearoa over 2000 years that was not found anywhere else either in Polynesia nor the world. That culture had the duration and resilience to thrive here in Aotearoa and not a single oral history confirms the presence of either early Chinese explorers, nor red headed European like cultures that greeted our Polynesian ancestors. Red hair existed in Micronesia, Melanie a and Polynesia as a matter of normal gene expression. Early accounts of patupaiarehe and turehu cultures are accounted for and often varying stories speak of lighter skin HD redder hair. Even this isn’t an anomaly amongst our oral traditions as everywhere where melanin rich cultures exist variability of skin colour is as diverse biologically as eye colour is in European cultures. Also and more recently ... all European cultures possess at least 2 to 3 percent inherited genes from Neanderthal cultures. No Neanderthal genes are found anywhere from Asia throughout to Polynesia further proving biologically the complete absence of European presence in Polynesia pre Abel Tasman 1642...which is only 127 years before Cook was brought here from Tahiti by Tahitian Star navigator Tupaia in 1769. I will concede ... If Zheng got here and recorded Moa and kiwi as Menzies suggests he saw in the documents he found in China then any suggestion Chinese spent time engineering major earthworks here in 1421 is completely debunked given such an undertaking would have attracted much attention by the indigenous population then ... no such evidence was recorded by Zheng...a man whose attention to detail would have recorded such interactions. Oral histories confirm that the 1300’s here in Aotearoa were busy times for māori engaging with each other for trade, business and conflict dynamically. Such a flotilla as Zheng’s would have attracted very assertive attention. We also know that in the 1400’s polynesian Waka were trading with South America acquiring the sweet potato. Such thoroughfare and activity would have almost definitely sighted any major flotilla as Zheng’s on the water during those times...no such oral evidence (nor archaeological) exists as incontrovertible proof. We can only say ... if Zheng was here he was passing through on a time limited visit focused on his task to record and return with his findings. Or ... no such interaction ever occurred pre-polynesian contact with these lands over 2000 years ago.

There were other countries that visited even before them the arabs... they didnt colonize or anything so its basically british as they colonized it.

[@petricedavison447]

Kia Ora as a native to Te ika a maui-Te waiponuamu, I understand this is a short video, but, like so many others, the important information, has been left out...I wasn't born in Aotearoa! Nor was i born in New Zealand, i was born in Te ika a maui-Te waiponuamu none of those other names mean anything to me, NOW that's also HISTORY....Plus underneath is also a island, which is known as Te-Riu-a-maui more HISTORY & my people have lived on these lands from the beginning of TIME......Just saying......

[@eeeaten]

"my people have lived on these lands from the beginning of TIME" - no.

[@Nat-uw4fs]

A based maori not towing the party line. Dayum. Seriously tho, you live in faeryland.

[@hazza3]

3:03 wait, that's William Hobson.

[@karenmetz4500]

Thank you for your video, ❤️the most important document for Maori and the British you haven't mentioned, that is t "The Declaration of Independence 1835."🕊️worth investigating. 🙏😇

[@jc-tu6pg]

2:53 you totally forgot to explain why the maori would just hand over sovereignty of their homeland to the british?

[@chaneldvinci]

There's a scientific study that states the north island literally came out of the sea... in correlation to maui theology stories... we have stories of already being on the south island... we bought back the hokioi or haast eagle... from peru which is still alive in Peru it is called the harpy... it's cry is the same as hokioi it sounds like it's name... hokiiiioiii... and it's not the polynesian triangle... it's a polygon (polynesia) in our astronomy(way seeing) it is a polygon that is used... to navigate... I know... huh?

[@maddystockford6219]

I didn't know that even though I live in New zealand

[@saikilaverave7122]

Were the mauri or polynesian settlers the first people in New Zealand?

[@eeeaten]

yes

[@Kariraa]

Henry Williams was doing full sermons in te reo by 1828...he was definitely fluent by 1840

[@paco680]

You forgot to mention that Black Friday is from New Zealand

[@Nat-uw4fs]

yeah no it's not.

[@makimaninkopegi3845]

Is not 5 minutes so much for entire new zealand history? lol

[@MominNz]

So it’s Britain who took over.

[@davidkirk6249]

Looks like you are unaware of the Celtic & Moriori existence, The latter were subject to genocide by maori, but are still represented in the treaty of Waitangi.

[@maapauu4282]

Please stop with your colonial-era conspiracies. There has been no evidence suggesting that anyone lived in Aotearoa before the year 1200CE. The first skeleton on Aotearoa was of Maori descent. The Moriori were not subject to genocide by all Maori, only 2 specific hapu of 2 specific iwi. If you want me to clear anything up for you just let me know so I can disprove it.

[@briarjaneful]

I think you should have a read of the Moriori Treaty Settlement 2020 - it dispels these myths and the government apologises for perpetuating the Moriori myth. As to the Celts - yeah, there is no actual valid evidence and is modern day colonial myth making.

[@davidkirk6249]

@@briarjaneful spoken like a true believer....you are a credit to your leftist cause. Of course the government would apologise, they can't do anything else but follow the set narrative. The alternative would mean maori repaying all the money. Saying that, I'd be keen to her you thoughts as to why the present government has chosen to keep locked away, artefacts and documents that have a contradictory view, for another 40 years. If there's nothing to hide why the secrecy.

[@Hussar-bt8sv]

history that begin from 1300s isnt long

[@timsymington5282]

Correction: Henry Williams was fluent in te reo Maori. He arrived in 1823, and immediately started learning (in fact he was learning on the ship before arriving). So by 1840 he had been learning and speaking Maori fluently for at least sixteen years. He was highly respected by Nga Puhi, and other iwi, especially as they saw his love for them over many years. He was asked by some rangatira to be a peacemaker between warring tribes during the Musket Wars, etc. When he translated the Treaty of Waitangi in February 1840 he had the interests of the Maori people foremost in his heart and mind. He was a man of his time, not without personal faults and foibles, but nonetheless, a truly remarkable man.

[@uncle3822]

🤣🤣🤣you are aware that the colonials lied with regards the treaty of waitangi and occupied maori land anyway. And got maori chiefs to sign a document when democracy had not been established in maori tribes. Most of them didn't know how to write. So obviously Henery Williams didn't have maoris best interests in mind.

[@user-vs1xw6fh4w]

You're completely missing the fact that Māori is not a written language. Te reo Māori, as we know it today, is a British attempt at phoneticizing the spoken Māori language using the romanic english alphabet. The overwhelming majority of indigenous Māori couldn't read the bastardized English transcription of their language, especially considering that individual Iwi often had their own unique dialect.
