So inspirational! Hopefully one day South Americans can harness your bravery and speak the true languages without feeling ashamed. 😢

[@conlethberry1236]

She's increible. Just watched her maiden speech in Parliament. I wish her the best of luck.

[@RJH755]

SHE WON! 🥳

[@neaceawatere4475]

I believe in you Hana.❤

Hana belle femme très charismatique connue dans le monde entier après son fantastique haka au Parlement néo-zélandais. Quel tempérament ! Quelle énergie positive ! Come on Hana! We love you !

[@debclarke1746]

Good on you girl. You sound wise and worthy of giving a go. I don't agree with the laugage been taken away the way history is trying to say it did. I'm sorry one guy and his wife I worked with out at sea with a long list of names and Iwis before him asked their parents why they didn't teach them Moari and their parents said to them they didn't need to because their tounge wasn't needed any more as you can talk to most countries with English. Of course when you are at school you are taught English and reading in English. We all got belted in my day as children me a white girl as well. Why is it tax payers fault. I think this is rewriting history. I went to a high country farmer school and we learnt sticks a poi's and sung in Moari. There was no No Moari laugage. This is a trick history rewriting. The national radio station we heard Moari all the time. Really pretty songs. I feel the stopping of the Moari tounge wasn't stopped by force. Only well at school. Wishing you all the best and bring back good morals and solutions.

Chloe Swarbrick was just 2 years older when she entered parliament and many doubted her ability at the time and she's been such a good MP that I'm shocked she isn't the Greens' leader at this point, so if Hana thinks she's up for it and TPM thinks so as well I say let her at it... We need more parliamentarians that are in touch with the issues young people are facing

[@HenrythePaleoGuy]

Absolutely. Good to have a range of different people in there. Will be nice to see how she stacks up.

[@lntg]

As a young person myself I'm all for younger representation. But this girl is genuinely unfit to be an MP.

[@RJH755]

@@lntg People probably said the same thing about Chloe before she got elected

[@lntg]

It will get too hard. She'll have babies, and she will be a stay at home mom in the end.

[@HHiTTAR]

She should push to have a Royal Commission of Inquiry into child abuse committed by Maori on Maori. I've heard many stories from Maori in there 40s up into their 70s that were beaten, molested and raped by their own whanau member's. Grandfather's, uncle's, aunty's and other whanau member's moving in silence preying on innocent victims and whanau's hiding it under the carpet. Maori don't want the world to know about this because it will tarnish their reputation.

[@truthseeker7322]

😂😂😂 yet the stories of the Europeans stealing land and forcing laws in foreign land is okay. Yeah right!! watch your own back yard before tasting the grass on the other side🤦🤡

[@lancetaiwhanga4127]

From what I can understand, we " Maori' are destroying ourselves with most of the statements and comments made on here. It is a shame that this is happening.

[@EcoKiwiMagazinePoneke]

Only if your ego is bigger than your brain and heart.

[@lntg]

Reality check: in the young leaders debate she said that we can predict the weather better than meteorologists by looking at "signs and signals in the sky" 😂 She lost me when she said that.

[@HenrythePaleoGuy]

Does that invalidate her other points? I can see where you're coming from though.

[@lntg]

@@HenrythePaleoGuy It just reflects that she has next to no ability to think critically if she unironically believes that stuff. That's not an attribute you want in a person in a position of power. Not to mention that it's inevitable she'll move up the rankings 🫣

[@HenrythePaleoGuy]

@@lntg That isn't necessarily indicative of that. What she seemed to have been trying to get at was that our systems are dynamic and alive, which *is* true, and that with the changes we're causing, the hurricane and other natural disasters are expected to arrive. More of a guiding framework than anything.I'm not a spiritual or religious guy at all, so, once again, I get you there, though the framing of, hey, we need to do something about this and their severity is on the right track of where we need to be. I'd have to look into what she was talking about further, but still, the overall policies are what's important here, and that key one there is dealing with climate change.

[@lntg]

@@HenrythePaleoGuy She was pretty explicit about her beliefs in the young leaders debate. It's some kind of strange spiritual thing, which to me sounded on par with astrology in terms of it's logic

[@HenrythePaleoGuy]

@@lntg Oh definitely. I'm not a Maori party voter myself, some of what they've stated on the Ukraine war has definitely but me off, it's why I'll be voting for the greens, though the spiritualism is just kind of there. It's unlikely to affect policy in any meaningful way. As I said, it's more of a guiding framework in doing so, rather than implementing the beliefs like an evangelical Christian, or something like that.

Quite a history about the Maori - put the Inca's or the Aztecs to shame in degeneration. Outcast from the Cook Islands during the 13th century as weaker primitive Neolithic people by later waves of Polynesians (Maori were from the original wave of primitive Polynesians pushed right out across the Eastern Pacific by successive stronger more advanced groups arriving from the west). They were outcast on rafts and some floated to the North East Coast of NZ driven by the South Equatorial Current and were stranded for 500 years. The weaker were pushed down to the South Island or Chathams etc. So the South Island Maori (had their own language) were the weakest of the weak. They were captured and eaten as 'Slave flesh' by the northern Maori doing raids. (Well they all ate each other - 80% of Maori pre European were dark skinned easily fattened slaves farmed and eaten by a lighter skinned 'Ariki' thin wiry elite royal caste). So it was with some righteousness as well as British cunning that they armed the southern Maori who then with muskets launched a genocidal war on the north.. That plus measles & flu halved the Maori population and removed most of the elite. The British then liberated the slaves and outlawed cannibalism. The northern Maori fought with the British against the south bad west Maori 'rebels'. The Maori sued for peace and a treaty was signed that removed all sovereignty and made them subjects to the English crown where the English would protect them from each other. Land could only be sold to or via the Crown. Maori could live on their reservations with native custom but none did. The treaty of Waitangi is strikingly clear in that the Maori cede sovereignty completely and become citizens of Great Britain - all 3 clauses lock that in. Nothing in today's 'Maori' culture is authentic. The music - all European (Maoris did not have tonal music, the songs are missionary tunes or introduced - Poi dance is from Islands and Stick dance from old Malaya. The carvings and art - all European - Arabesques that was the fashion at the time. Original Maori had limited dash carving and no painting of objects. No written language - all the syntax & grammar plus vowel inflection is European. No technology - some lagoon canoes and wood or stone Neolithic tools. No food sources - like pigs or crops - they left that all behind, all they had was a weak inbred fox (now extinct), some rats and a weak dismal pacific yam. They ate out all the bird-life including 10 species of Moa and 46 other bird species, didn't know how to farm the sea as were island people and so they turned to societal cannibalism. Today - no full blood or half blood left. No genuine tradition and almost all are offspring of Maori slave females sold to white settlers for muskets or food. -So more fake than the 'Sioux' or 'Cherokee' or 'Crow' who had at least retained some genuineness about who they were and their history. -Everything you 'saw or experienced' is fake. A totally convected disneyfied tokenistic set of inventions fueled by a grievance culture of mixed-race imposters fetishing a false past bad history because it pays benefits.
