New zealand is a country worthy of the world's respect and admiration. While I am certain certain scars still remain from the violence that was Colonialism, New Zealand stands as an example for the ethical relationship between Native and other cultures. Being a relationship between humans it is not perfect, and there are issues remaining to be solved, and progress to be made, but the atmosphere there is nothing like the atmosphere I have witnessed and experienced around Native issues here in Canada. In Canada, there are still laws on the books and policies held by our government that treat both Native peoples and women as second class citizens. In Canada, for example, a policy has been enforced for more than 100 years that affects certain federally supervised superannuation plans. If a military Veteran marries after age 60, upon his or her death, the surviving spouse is denied survivor benefits on the grounds that the government deems them to be "gold diggers". The policy is often referred to as the "gold Digger Clause". It was enacted a century ago to prevent young women from marrying veterans on their deathbeds for the pension. Our Prime Minister ran for election in 2015 on a platform of removing that clause. He failed spectacularly in his first term. Just prior to his second term, and in the face of an election, he threw a pot of monet at the problem, but the way he went about it, a group of widows/widowers were left out. Ironically, many of those left out were themselves Veterans! Our government also had a policy that stripped Aboriginal women of their Native status if they married non-Native men. Native men who married non-Native women were not stripped of their identity. It took many years of struggle to repeal that policy, and it only happened in the mid-1990s. Because of the things I saw in New Zealand and things I have learned since arriving home, I admire the people of New Zealand tremendously. New Zealand's people are the most amazing I have ever met, and I have three passports chock full of customs and immigration stamps from my lifetime (I am 60 now). Since my visit in 2015, my soul screams to return. I was at home in New Zealand. I felt as though I was among my people - and as a Canadian Army brat I have never really found my home before. God bless the people of New Zealand. Be safe, happy and prosperous. Kia Ora to any Kiwi reading this!

[@JumboWiniata]

[@Johnyevil]

Fundamentally it came down to this. Two different peoples living by their own systems of law and governance in the same country, whilst still interacting with each other and living side by side was never going to work, nor would it ever work. The British settler government knew this, and Maori would eventually find this out. The victor in any similar circumstance always gets their way with the upper hand, then reigns supreme. Unfortunately Maori did get the short end of the stick (for many reasons), but that was inevitable given the share number of migrants arriving, and the colonial powers having a well armed and trained military at their disposal. The biggest advantage Maori had over other colonized indigenous peoples in similar circumstances was that they were very battle hardened and not afraid to die for what they believed. But they also adapted very quickly to the changing landscape (literally) and changes to their way of life. They learned the ways of the new comers and embraced what they had to offer, whilst learning their mindset at the same time and exploiting it to their advantage (as seen in the battles of the NZ wars). The British were very diplomatic in their dealings with New Zealand and its native people, they could have taken the complete opposite route and completely annihilated Maori almost to the point of extinction (take the Australian natives for example). New Zealand could have taken a completely different path which would have been much worse. History aside, look at the strides Maori have made in modern times. The number of Waitangi tribunal claims passed through government, with Maori either receiving substantial compensation for confiscated lands, or, receiving almost all of it back is more apparent now than ever in our history. New Zealand is a very unique human experiment.

[@TheNesianscribe]

Um, the British nearly did wipe Māori out, and by the 1900s, the population was low - between 20, 000 - 40, 000 ppl left. And those treaty settlements you write about? Not substantial at all AND far below market value AND something the Māori marched and agitated for, not because of the largesse of the white man! Some land was returned to the wrong hapū/iwi, and not all land was returned.

[@Johnyevil]

@@TheNesianscribe Um, the British nearly did wipe Māori out, and by the 1900s, the population was low - between 20, 000 - 40, 000 ppl left. Colonists didn’t conduct genocide towards Maori. Yes, there was the advent of the NZ wars, but these didn’t contribute to the decrease in population drastically, just casualties related to warfare. The main cause for population decreases among Maori was exposure to viruses that they hadn’t developed an immunity to at that point. And those treaty settlements you write about? Not substantial at all AND far below market value AND something the Māori marched and agitated for, not because of the largesse of the white man! Fair enough, but the settlements are agreed upon between the government and the hapu/iwi involved. If the hapu/iwi doesn’t agree with the final settlement, they don’t have to sign it. Some land was returned to the wrong hapū/iwi, and not all land was returned. Agreed, there were/are problems in the system when it came to ‘who owned what’. But one must take into account that there were dishonest members on both sides whom were only concerned with their own interests and gains. There are cases where certain Maori leaders were greedy and put claim to lands that weren’t theirs to begin with. And no, not all land would be returned, or will likely ever be returned. That’s why the government pays out the compensation. You write about the colonialist as if they were magnanimous and treated the natives well, when in actual fact, the British did what they did everywhere and tried to wipe Māori out and stole most of NZ! Looking back in hindsight, imagine if the Spanish had shown up instead. ..one can only imagine how that would have went down. Again, referring back to the top of this comment, there’s no evidence that supports the claim that their agenda was to execute genocide towards Maori. Thieves, murderers and rapist criminal scum is what your precious white ppl were AND are! They’re not ‘my precious white people’, they’re just people. That’s bold to accuse all white people of being like that, especially our white kiwi brethren. I’m sorry you have that sad outlook on people. This is why I'm so glad that compulsory history must be taught in NZ schools to correct this condescending and erroneous SHIT! The victor writes the history, and so for 200 years we've had to swallow the revised history of the invaders! I agree that NZ history should be taught in schools. Unbiased and uncensored. Not leaning towards one side or the other. The question is, can the ministry of education guarantee this will be the case? Btw - the two systems of governance could have worked- but as usual, the white man got GREEDY!! Interesting, can you show an example of where this model has worked successfully in past?

[@TheNesianscribe]

@@Johnyevil This is the thing - the British were condescending and didn't believe that indigenous were capable enough to govern themselves, nor were they willing to consider self-sovereignty. However, Māori had been doing this successfully for at least 800 years in Āotearoa, and thousands of years beforehand as they migrated across the Pacific. These two cultures were and are as different and alien as could be! Once the Pākehā began to outnumber the Māori, their lust for more and more land led to dissatisfaction.The native perspective of land was poles apart from the way the British felt about land - according to the British, land was to be developed, worked, and was subject to individual ownership. Māori viewed land as being collectively owned. However, Māori were not infallible, and there were cases of warring tribes *selling* the land of their enemies. Māori did want the technology, especially guns and iron. They understood the value of their land - not its monetary value, but as a source of wealth to feed and shelter and sustain the people. Māori understand that the land gives us life - a concept which has been bastardized and corrupted in the pursuit of capitalism and greed. Our ancestors signed the Treaty because they knew the Pākehā wouldn't ever stop coming, and technology improvements, such as the plough, were considered favorably. But soon, the whites overreached themselves, and they wanted their rail lines laid throughout the country, plus more land, thus leading to invasion of tribal territories. More than anything, they wanted the native to disappear! "The great body of the Europeans throughout the colony now regard the natives with indifference. They do not pretend to understand the native character. They do not trouble themselves to entertain anticipations of their advancement to civilisation. They look upon them as an obstacle to the spread of settlement, and so far a drawback to the colony." NZ Herald, 1897. The greed for land hasn't stopped - the pākehā juggernaut hasn't paused as they sell off our water, land to the Chinese, and as they prevaricate over the return of stolen hand; incarcerate our people and steal our babies at birth! Amazing, the voracious appetite of the white man that eats everything up - and today, we can see it in the decline of our environment, and even the mass murders perpetuated by them in their desire to annihilate *difference*. Your argument about the Spanish colonizing Āotearoa is an old hack used constantly by the face of white superiority. How the fuck would we know what could've happened? It's the same tired argument that is used to justify British colonization - to make it palatable! As if we were better off being colonized by the whites. And what do YOU know about *genocide*? It was OUR people who were killed as they resisted the greed of the British - you'd do the same if scum came to your house to rape and kill your wife and child; to take your land and rip your language from your mouth! You, sir, have no right to deny genocide when the earth is stained by the blood of our tupuna!

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.

I have read several times that Australia was mostly English and Irish, with smaller percentages of Scottish and Welsh immigrants. New Zealand was mostly English and Scottish, with smaller percentages of Irish and Welsh immigrants. Apparently this is one of the factors why the national character of the two countries are different, the attitudes towards the authorities and those from the higher social classes, the religions, the accents, etc. Another thing is that the Australian aboriginal culture is not really part of the Australian life, whereas the Maori culture is adopted by the majority of New Zealand people, the possible reason is that the aboriginal people are not highly developed compared to the Maori, and the fact that the Maori and the related Polynesian Pacific islanders form a much larger percentage of the total population than the aborigines do, and possibly because the Maori were able to put up an effective resistance against the takeover of the land and were never conquered by the British forces.

Question: When has colonisation ended??

[@StGammon77]

1907 when it became a Dominion, it is now a 'Realm'. NZ was colonised by Polynesians and their status as natives was created by the Treaty which made it a Colony of people who were named Maori plus the existing Euro residents and some other ethnic groups that had been living here already either with Native people or in their own capacity where land had been sold prior to the Treaty.

[@jamzlds04]

@@StGammon77 No,First signed by 34 Northern Māori rangatira (chiefs) on 28 October 1835, He Whakaputanga collected a further 18 signatures by 1839. This included Te Hāpuku of Hawkes Bay, and the Waikato leader Te Wherowhero, who later became the first Māori King. Through He Whakaputanga, these 52 rangatira asserted that Aotearoa New Zealand was an independent Māori state, that power resided fully with Māori, and that foreigners would not be allowed to make laws. Described by British Resident James Busby as the "Magna Carta of New Zealand Independence", He Whakaputanga was a bold and innovative declaration of Indigenous power. Officially recognised by the United Kingdom, it signalled the emergence of Māori authority on the world stage. It was also one of the earliest assertions of Māori identity beyond separate iwi and hapū.

I commend the white-man how he pacifies such amazing and strong cultures into we wont give you our land to please let us live on our own land. Same story from America to New Zealand.

the world is run by power, who has the best weaponry, most money... and for native peoples around the globe that meant because they didn't develope weapon systems.. they were over run " colonised" in order to make a quid. Why would Captian Cook sail half way around the world. I undertand the Chancellor of the Exchequer at the time told him to go to the Southern seas and make us heaps of money. However don't for a minute think that if the situation had been reversed the Maori would not have " civilized " the pakeha.

Maori at the arrival of the settlers outnumbered the newcomers by 100 to 1. They for the most part welcomed the new trading partners.

Only those whose Spirits are of the Land are the TRUE BURIED in the LAND...PAKEHA are NOT of the LAND but if they have a mixed legacy..NATIVE and PAKEHA whanau left behind in their wake then that decision becomes theirs...Which half of them is TRUE and PEOPLE they spend their lifes journey with and around will speak for itself?
