Thank you Sir, for this wonderful informative video. I come from a very tribal region that still marks the border between Indo-Persian Empire. Haka Ritual, even before understanding a words and its significance, use to give me goosebumps and wet eyes every single time. Can I use this opportunity to say to all Māori People of New Zealand, More Power to You All. No matter what world says, New Zealand Always Was and Always Will Be Māori People Land.

I appreciate your sentiment, but (in the most polite way) it's missing the point. Aotearoa is the responsibility of Maori. We view it as one might consider the relationship between a parent and child. We have to look after Papatuanuku so that she can look after us. The concept of "ownership" is as alien as pineapple on a pizza. We belong. People that arrive are welcome, but please don't come to my house then tell me it's yours.

i can understand the anger that the Indigenous people of Maori felt & expressed. why? my country, the Philippines was colonized by Spain for 333 years, from 1565 to 1898. it's followed by American colonization from 1898 to 1946. and Japanese occupation in ww2. the vestiges of these colonizations are still felt today. even my country's name, the Philippines, was named to honor Philip II of Spain.

[@sebuana7815]

My home origin is Cebu, and I speak Cebuano/Bisaya language and the Visayans are the descendants of polynesians (hence Bisaya has similar words with the Polynesians), they/"we" were sea travellers before the Spaniards colonise the unnamed islands. What would Philippines be like if the Spaniards didn't stumble upon the Humonhon island. Could we be part of Borneo/Malaysia and become a muslim nation, could we be part of China and become a communist country, or Japan and be a first world country? Anyway, human beings with neanderthal DNA in the modern times always want to take over, people like us with the Denisovan DNA with brown skin and tribal ancestors is designed to be shunned. We have brilliant inventors and minds to put on the table, but because we are not white and superior, even how many generations or centuries will pass, we are deemed as second class. I hope I am wrong and what I am hopeful for is,things will change one day. This is just a thought, not an argument. :D

Does anyone still mourn for the battle and death fought for Seti I of Egypt thousands of years ago? Nope, me neither, I couldn't care less either. India knows full well that this generation has lived before in other parts of the world, and karmically chose this birth in the most suitable environment .. there's little point complaining on how the past shaped your chosen life in the current period. Live now, right here, right now - you chose this life,

[@AshFloraaaa]

In short the treaty was an agreement of partnership between the Brittish settlers and the Māori to govern over New Zealand. It also protects the rights Maori kustoms, language and culture and to self-govern. This new bill will remove Māori's seat at the table. It's assimilation disguised as equality.

[@phil8592]

​​@@lucysluckydayMāori culture is deeply tied to its ancenstory in a way that will not seem logical or possible to you. Your lands and culture were not stripped from you in a way that caused intergenerational trauma that is visible in every statistic available (health, life expectancy, education, addiction, incarceration rates). I care about what happened in the 1800s because my people are still seeing the ripples that colonisation have created. It's fine that you don't live and understand Māori struggles, but there are marches happening in NZ right now in protest against people like you who wish to see the history of my people erased. When the people of NZ march from one end to the other, our ancestors are with us every step of the way.

[@DonMachado]

I was very moved by the Haka in this story. What a powerful way to send a message to the government, right there in parliament. It was an historical moment in time.

[@josfryer222]

Interesting to see a take on this from outside NZ! One important (and often misunderstood) point is that in fact there are not two versions of the Treaty. The only true version is the Māori version. Only the Māori version was presented at the signing in Waitangi. Only the Māori version was discussed and debated. The "English version" was a draft, prepared on behalf of Captain Hobson, Queen Victoria's representative. It was never shown to the Māori chiefs who attended the negotiations. Many of those chiefs spoke and read English perfectly well and would have immediately understood that the two documents said different things. Most historians agree that the Māori people never ceded their sovereignty, and this was also the finding made by the Waitangi Tribunal, which was set up by the Crown in 1975 to determine instances of the Treaty being contravened.

[@Suresh_Kamath]

So bottom line, British cheated.

[@heliopyre]

That is disingenuous. The English one is the one that was signed by the chiefs. " Most historians agree that the Māori people never ceded their sovereignty" That is not true.

[@josfryer222]

@heliopyre um. No. As I said, the English version was never presented to, or debated with, the Māori chiefs who attended Waitangi. Only a handful of Māori signed the English language version: that was not until several weeks later, south of the area we now call Auckland, and those few signatories were notably *not* able to read or speak English. More than 95% of signatures gathered are on one of the copies of the Māori version. You can literally go and see it for yourself at the National Library on Molesworth Street, where you can also read about the consensus of historians.

Something more about the maoris for you to love....... News from the Rotorua Daily Post: "Child, 2, dies after Rotorua driveway accident, family member steals from doctor trying to save child's life." As hospital staff tried to save the life of a 2-year-old boy run over in a Rotorua driveway, a family member swiped a doctor's two phones and a bank card and went on a spending spree. The child died a short time later but Melissa Herewini (A MAORI) had already taken the bank card to four stores in Rotorua and bought alcohol, food, petrol, phone credit and cigarettes. News 24 headline: "Shock over Maori infant brutality" They have been scalded, burned with cigarettes, raped, had bones broken and been beaten unconscious, sometimes to death. Horrific cases of Maori youngsters - some under two years of age - being tortured, abused and KILLED BY MEMBERS OF THEIR OWN FAMILIES Among the grisly headlines that have dominated the nation's media over recent weeks are stories of a 28-month-old Maori girl in a coma after suffering severe head injuries, a broken arm, cuts, bruises and cigarette burns over most of her body. The toddler's 52-year-old grandmother was being held in prison on assault charges. Police in the central North Island town of Carterton are investigating the death a week ago of 23-month-old Maori girl Hinewaoriki Karaitiana-Matiaha who was sexually abused, scalded with hot liquid and beaten before being taken to hospital by relatives. The child, who was put in the care of her grandmother by the Child, Youth and Family Service after consultations with the toddler's family just short of her second birthday, was dead on arrival at Masterton Hospital late on Sunday, July 23. And last week, a coroner in the east coast town of Tauranga found that two-month-old Marcus Te Hira Grey died from a brain haemorrhage following a severe beating by his father. These cases follow the recent release of a report into the gruesome killing last April of four-year-old James Whakaruru, beaten to death by his stepfather for failing to call him Dad. The stepfather had been jailed once for assaulting the boy, but the youngster endured a lifetime of horrific beatings, despite being under the eye of various child welfare agencies, and his hellish existence went unnoticed. The proportion of extreme cases of brutality towards children among the Maori population - which makes up about 15 percent of New Zealand's 3.8 million citizens - is far higher than for any other ethnic group. New Zealand Hearald news headline 29 May, 2024 “Raglan man Simon Terence Hamiora Kereopa drags partner outside naked, pours boiling water over her“ Kereopa ( A MAORI) dragged her outside through the kitchen door by her arms, down the kitchen steps and onto the ground. He then grabbed the kettle, which was just inside the door, and poured the boiling water over the victim - who was naked at the time - directly onto her skin. As he did so, Kereopa told her “you deserve it, and that’s what you get”. He then told her he would reboil the jug and pour it on her face. She ran to seek help from her sister but she was asleep, before running into her daughter’s room and hugging her. Kereopa then went into the room and said, “once you let go, I’m burning your face”. Judge Stephen Clark noted Kereopa’s 17 family violence convictions, eight of which were against the current victim. The man responsible, Simon Terence Hamiora Kereopa, was today jailed for the incident, his ninth conviction against the victim during their 20-year-plus relationship. New Zealand Hearald News 14 Apr, 2024: During a torturous and prolonged night of violence, William James Whata (A MAORI) held his partner down and shoved his fist down her throat with such force that he broke her jaw. The attack came after the 48-year-old had tried strangling his partner multiple times. By the time emergency services arrived, the woman was discovered with numerous injuries including visible damage to her jaw. Now, Whata has been jailed for the violence which started when he went around to the victim’s property on March 4, 2023, despite having been issued a five-day police safety order. A CCTV camera at the property captured most of the events from that night, which began about 10pmwith the pair arguing in the lounge. The victim turned and walked away when Whata grabbed her, put his arm around her neck, and put her in a chokehold. She fell to the ground with Whata on top of her. He let her go and she got to her feet but he chased her back into the lounge where he tried to put another chokehold on her. She managed to push him off but fell to the ground and Whata took the opportunity to put her in another chokehold for about 7 seconds, causing her to go in and out of consciousness. As he held her down, Whata then kneed her in the head and torso four times and continued strangling her for about a minute. Once he let go, she again tried to run for her life, making it outside, but Whata chased her. Some time later he got a knife and followed her around the house with it as she carried out household tasks. He stood guard to ensure she didn’t push her domestic violence button and at one stage cornered her in the kitchen with the knife to her head and punched her. At 1.45am, Whata threw her through the open ranch slider and then held her down on the ground, before closing the door and curtains. While on top of her, he put his hand inside her mouth and pried apart her jaw with downward pressure for about 10 seconds. She begged him to stop and tried to push him off but he continued similar attacks for two more hours. Some time later in the morning she said she needed to use the toilet, where she pressed her panic button and alerted emergency services. St John paramedics discovered she’d suffered a broken jaw due to visible jaw drop, and had multiple cuts and swelling to her face.

​@@MargaretAllen-x5tthe maori language has no letters at all as there is no maori alphabet. "Te Reo" is the communication involving gestures, sounds and symbols(in this context a letter in not a symbol). 1812 or thereabouts, missionaries started teaching maori the english language and in 1840 when it was time to sign a treaty, those who learned the new language were interpreters for the illiterate. But, in the nearly 200 years, maori have only adopted the english alphabet to use as a maori alphabet with only 15 letters, because, primitive.

As someone who has never visited New Zealand. However my history books tell me that the Maori’s came from another land in the pacific. Meeting the original occupants of New Zealand hostile to the newcomers. I have read that the newcomers (Māoris) wiped out the resistance. Sounds like a good start.

[@charlie-obrien]

As someone who has visited NZ and has met with Maori cultural leaders. I can tell you the peoples who arrived to the islands around 1250 were small individual tribes and not conquerors. They lived a mostly peaceful and spiritual existence and eventually became one. The British arrived 400 years later. It was then that they began calling themselves "Maori", which means "the ordinary". It's true that the Haka is considered a war chant, but it is also an offer to avoid war if proper respect and sharing is shown by the encroaching tribe. That is the basis of the Treaty of Waitangi in the first place. Giving respect and sharing. I have never met a more peaceful and spiritual people in my travels than the Maori and the Kiwis who have adopted their culture.

[@rayurlich]

I have a question. If the Treaty Principles Bill is such a potential miscarriage of justice, why hasn't The Maori Party, the National Party, or anyone else EASILY dispensed of it in Parliamentary or other debate? The Maori Party kicks up a song and dance that gets Parliament canceled for the day, and Prime Minister Luxon shuts debate down by saying National won't support it without giving any good reason why it's a poor piece of legislation. Moreover, he says the Treaty is "evolving," which is a very bad characteristic of ANY contract. Fair to say the people who oppose the bill the most yet can not debate it are the ones with ulterior motives. Luxon thinks he knows better than the wider New Zealand public and wants to hold on to power as long as possible. The Maori Party are a vocal fringe element who do not want everyone to he treated equally because it would then make them irrelevant. They don't represent everyday Maori who just want to get on and along with their fellow New Zealanders. Simple.

"King Charles must withdraw"? 1/2 of the population are european kiwis. 1/4 of the population are mouri, and the English advanced them out of the STONE AGES AND CANNIBALISM.

The Bill these people are protesting is to keep NZ inclusive and prevent us from becoming a country of apartheid. It's to ensure that people's rights and privileges aren't based on race. The PM "that everyone loved" (she was widely hated here) had been pushing through increasingly racially segregated policies. They were pushing for race based government, race based education, race based healthcare. All things that are antithetical to inclusiveness or democracy. The Bill that people are upset about strips back the treaty to the principles it actually has and removes the ones that have been added that grant rights above others.

Kinda awkward the current Maori having a go at people that they can't survive without. The Indonesians or Chinese would love some extra land and they look down or stone aged peoples and have absolutely no respect for human rights. Maori have clearly lost sight of article three of the treaty and how it protects them. The South Western Pacific is just a side show between east and west and luckily for the natives it's the west in charge. If that were to change the east would genocide all natives and say goodbye to Samoans Aboriginals Papuans etc.

The answer to Gentiles resentment of Jewish achievement is for the Gentiles to emulate the Jews who do nothing Gentiles could do if they had the character. Māori resentment at their own unachievement is quite similar and the inclination to blame others for the shortcomings is quite similar, self inflicted injury.

News from the Rotorua Daily Post: "Child, 2, dies after Rotorua driveway accident, family member steals from doctor trying to save child's life." As hospital staff tried to save the life of a 2-year-old boy run over in a Rotorua driveway, a family member swiped a doctor's two phones and a bank card and went on a spending spree. The child died a short time later but Melissa Herewini (A MAORI) had already taken the bank card to four stores in Rotorua and bought alcohol, food, petrol, phone credit and cigarettes. News 24 headline: "Shock over Maori infant brutality" They have been scalded, burned with cigarettes, raped, had bones broken and been beaten unconscious, sometimes to death. Horrific cases of Maori youngsters - some under two years of age - being tortured, abused and KILLED BY MEMBERS OF THEIR OWN FAMILIES Among the grisly headlines that have dominated the nation's media over recent weeks are stories of a 28-month-old Maori girl in a coma after suffering severe head injuries, a broken arm, cuts, bruises and cigarette burns over most of her body. The toddler's 52-year-old grandmother was being held in prison on assault charges. Police in the central North Island town of Carterton are investigating the death a week ago of 23-month-old Maori girl Hinewaoriki Karaitiana-Matiaha who was sexually abused, scalded with hot liquid and beaten before being taken to hospital by relatives. The child, who was put in the care of her grandmother by the Child, Youth and Family Service after consultations with the toddler's family just short of her second birthday, was dead on arrival at Masterton Hospital late on Sunday, July 23. And last week, a coroner in the east coast town of Tauranga found that two-month-old Marcus Te Hira Grey died from a brain haemorrhage following a severe beating by his father. These cases follow the recent release of a report into the gruesome killing last April of four-year-old James Whakaruru, beaten to death by his stepfather for failing to call him Dad. The stepfather had been jailed once for assaulting the boy, but the youngster endured a lifetime of horrific beatings, despite being under the eye of various child welfare agencies, and his hellish existence went unnoticed. The proportion of extreme cases of brutality towards children among the Maori population - which makes up about 15 percent of New Zealand's 3.8 million citizens - is far higher than for any other ethnic group. New Zealand Hearald news headline 29 May, 2024 “Raglan man Simon Terence Hamiora Kereopa drags partner outside naked, pours boiling water over her“ Kereopa ( A MAORI) dragged her outside through the kitchen door by her arms, down the kitchen steps and onto the ground. He then grabbed the kettle, which was just inside the door, and poured the boiling water over the victim - who was naked at the time - directly onto her skin. As he did so, Kereopa told her “you deserve it, and that’s what you get”. He then told her he would reboil the jug and pour it on her face. She ran to seek help from her sister but she was asleep, before running into her daughter’s room and hugging her. Kereopa then went into the room and said, “once you let go, I’m burning your face”. Judge Stephen Clark noted Kereopa’s 17 family violence convictions, eight of which were against the current victim. The man responsible, Simon Terence Hamiora Kereopa, was today jailed for the incident, his ninth conviction against the victim during their 20-year-plus relationship. New Zealand Hearald News 14 Apr, 2024: During a torturous and prolonged night of violence, William James Whata (A MAORI) held his partner down and shoved his fist down her throat with such force that he broke her jaw. The attack came after the 48-year-old had tried strangling his partner multiple times. By the time emergency services arrived, the woman was discovered with numerous injuries including visible damage to her jaw. Now, Whata has been jailed for the violence which started when he went around to the victim’s property on March 4, 2023, despite having been issued a five-day police safety order. A CCTV camera at the property captured most of the events from that night, which began about 10pmwith the pair arguing in the lounge. The victim turned and walked away when Whata grabbed her, put his arm around her neck, and put her in a chokehold. She fell to the ground with Whata on top of her. He let her go and she got to her feet but he chased her back into the lounge where he tried to put another chokehold on her. She managed to push him off but fell to the ground and Whata took the opportunity to put her in another chokehold for about 7 seconds, causing her to go in and out of consciousness. As he held her down, Whata then kneed her in the head and torso four times and continued strangling her for about a minute. Once he let go, she again tried to run for her life, making it outside, but Whata chased her. Some time later he got a knife and followed her around the house with it as she carried out household tasks. He stood guard to ensure she didn’t push her domestic violence button and at one stage cornered her in the kitchen with the knife to her head and punched her. At 1.45am, Whata threw her through the open ranch slider and then held her down on the ground, before closing the door and curtains. While on top of her, he put his hand inside her mouth and pried apart her jaw with downward pressure for about 10 seconds. She begged him to stop and tried to push him off but he continued similar attacks for two more hours. Some time later in the morning she said she needed to use the toilet, where she pressed her panic button and alerted emergency services. St John paramedics discovered she’d suffered a broken jaw due to visible jaw drop, and had multiple cuts and swelling to her face.
