It is a pity this episode didn't display and discuss the the Maori version of the ToW articles (as translated by Sir Hugh Kawharu on the ToW Tribunal website): The first - The Chiefs of the Confederation and all the Chiefs who have not joined that Confederation give absolutely to the Queen of England for ever the complete government over their land. The second - The Queen of England agrees to protect the chiefs, the subtribes and all the people of New Zealand in the unqualified exercise of their chieftainship over their lands, villages and all their treasures. But on the other hand the Chiefs of the Confederation and all the Chiefs will sell land to the Queen at a price agreed to by the person owning it and by the person buying it (the latter being) appointed by the Queen as her purchase agent. The third - For this agreed arrangement therefore concerning the Government of the Queen, the Queen of England will protect all the ordinary people of New Zealand and will give them the same rights and duties of citizenship as the people of England. It doesn't require a law degree or deep knowledge of anything to understand what these words mean.

Because my childhood was spent in Canada, I can more or less easily understand the gist of French when I read it;(but not when hearing it, usually spoken too fast for me, except certain key/trigger words, eh) the deep difference in some languages is immense, eh. OK, when I read Te Reo...it does not come easily to me....yet I have been speaking certain useful words of it ever since I got here in 1965...and they are useful because they express meanings simply and EFFICIENTLY that cannot be said practically in any other way...BUT there are lots of other instances where what it is trying to express as a language (beyond it's innate feel) is so much more efficiently (and often, less 'in your face' mana based...??) said in English...but for other situations, I use Te Reo, or French, or Spanish...the evolution of languages , and their commingling and in the long term reciprocal 'fertilizing', or better 'quickening (as in hybrid-vigour) exists at the heart of what it is to be human, too belong, to know where you are....comprehende? Quite frankly, I find that the way Te Reo expresses/describes real world situations/stories over-blown and inefficient verbally ...and in other cases ineffably (indescribably) beautifully poetic and "on the nose"....sorry, but there it is, language is what it is...the essence of what makes us all human....I think maybe it is a mistake to try and force cultural understanding in a population by mandating language usage.

[@Awareness_Philo_Sophy]

@chriskiwi2601 Yes we are all indigenous to this planet. The people I am mostly referring to are the civilizations before us, the ones who lived by the laws of nature and understood the natural world. Every race of people meaning our ancestors around the entire world had many things in common regardless of color and ethnicity. It is our Mythologies. we all have similar stories of creation and constellations and the timing of seasons when to hunt and plant food according to what stars they observed they knew it was what governed everything on Earth. All the old Civilizations had gods but they were not Gods they were constellations and planets, they may have referred to them as gods because they are above us. There is a bad narrative behind all of this, saying that indigenous people worshipped their God's but it was only to observe their positioning in the solar system a constellation and planetary alignments. To live this way is to live by the laws of the creator or God. If everyone in the world traced their lineage back to this time and researched the origins of their culture you will find a unison between every race of people as well as correlations with our faculties and how we treat each other we all had similar protocols. But there is a bad group of people who have had an agenda to colonize and control every human on this planet and destroying it to the point where we suffer the consequences and argue about minor things. If everyone pulled away from this system and took the time to study what I have said and lived by the laws of nature with the natural world we will grow as a people. I am not a preacher of the bible but according to revelations some of them seem to be coming to fruition and if you study these events they seem to occur during planetary alignments.

You are right. It didn't go well at all. The wisdom and harmony with the land, sky water and wildlife was destroyed and we have struggled ever since to manage the destruction caused by pakeha. It has gone so badly that we struggle to repair the damage done- in every area of life here. It is the greatest shame ... the slaughter of forests, the pollution and pests... the disease and cruelty inflicted on the indigenous people... the involvement in war and killing others... the deliberate trampling on a beautiful people, language and culture. I began reading the Tuhoe settlement several years ago. It started with a long list of acknowledgements made by the Crown. I felt so physically sick that I couldn't continue. Luckily, the children of today are learning about the history of these islands. These children have a hope of not turning out like you and Mr Seymour. I see tikanga being incorporated in the cultures of school environments. Finally our people get to experience a very small piece of sharing, looking out for eachother and including everyone equally. I have watched my sister who married an Englishman. Her children are all about competition and winning. Every day of my life, I cannot believe my fortune, being jn place where I have the strongest, most beautiful language and culture at my doorstep. I am at kindergarten level and have a lot to learn, but Mr Seymour is a baby and has no idea...he isn't even aware that as a white supremacist, deliberately trampling on the desires and intentions of ancestors... he is insulting many people and is up against a huge, huge movement of strong resistance. I hope you both learn something so you can stop thinking the ignorant things you think and share...and so you stop embarrassing yourself and offending others.

The concept of co-governance in relation to the Treaty of Waitangi is largely down to interpretation, as the Treaty itself contains language that can be understood in different ways. This ambiguity stems from differences between the English and Māori versions of the Treaty, as well as evolving interpretations over time. Here’s a breakdown: The Treaty Texts and Ambiguities 1. English Version: Emphasizes the transfer of sovereignty to the British Crown. Promises Māori full possession of their lands, forests, and resources, along with rights as British subjects. 2. Māori Version (Te Tiriti o Waitangi): The term kāwanatanga is used, which is often interpreted as governance but not necessarily full sovereignty. Māori were promised tino rangatiratanga, often translated as absolute chieftainship or self-determination, over their lands, resources, and taonga (treasures). These differences in translation and meaning leave room for debate about the intended balance of power between the Crown and Māori. Co-Governance as a Modern Concept Co-governance isn't explicitly mentioned in the Treaty but has emerged as a framework for honoring tino rangatiratanga while balancing it with the Crown’s kāwanatanga. It reflects attempts to address historical breaches of the Treaty and ensure Māori have meaningful participation in decision-making about resources and governance. Interpretation in Practice Some see co-governance as aligning with the Treaty’s principles of partnership, protection, and participation. Others argue that co-governance is a modern construct not directly derived from the Treaty’s original text. Legal and Political Recognition The Treaty principles, rather than the text itself, guide modern legal interpretations and policies. These principles emphasize partnership between the Crown and Māori, providing a foundation for co-governance in areas like natural resource management and health. Debates around co-governance often hinge on differing views of sovereignty, partnership, and what it means to uphold the Treaty in contemporary New Zealand.
