The chiefs ruled for 700 years and achieved absolutely nothing cept civil war, 0% literacy and plenty of slavery. There is no decent reason to reinstate tribal division and pay for 2 layers of bureaucracy that do nothing but squabble over who gets to siphon the most money from the people who are actually doing the work. The last thing NZ needs is more leaders with no accountability. We have the same basic needs for housing, healthcare, food and education....and our cultures should be a personal choice. The growth of problems in recent years have been from privatising too much and selling too many assets to foreign banks and hedge funds. Making housing unaffordable for ppl as migration swelled and untaxed capital gains ruined communities. We allowed American and other foreign narratives and foreign interests to hijack our businesses and our politics. There is no clever trick to improving NZ, no benefit to inventing fake politically connected 'cultural' jobs for kids who don't have any real skills...consulting on which font is culturally appropriate for a tea cup...and all the data shows that the last Labour/ Maori coalition made a lot of things WAY worse for the poor. We need to: -Stop the foreign sales -Keep bank profits in NZ -Tax property and stop punishing ppl who work -Stop excessive migration and actually have enough housing -Keep kids in NZ and educate them into REAL skills and REAL jobs -Let culture be a form of expression and personal choice and not a form of indoctrination to control what ppl can say. -When kids have education, trust and real choices they will create a NEW culture that is richer and better than anything from the past. Things were on the right path until the neo-libs and the race activists turned us against one another.

The two superpowers at the time were France and the UK. Hence how New Caledonia ended up a French province.

Clearly some Maori have a different idea of how this ought to look, but I don't see that any serious attempt from the side of the tribes has been made to come to a working compromise, it's just a list of demands every time. Don't forget, the only reason the Maori ever got heard in all this is because they were taken fully into consideration in the first place. Had you been dealing with the Spanish or the French of that period, you might have something really to complain about. Or not, since you would have found out what a true genocide looks like. The British were no angels, but you got it easy, thanks to the Christian missionaries, and your chiefs knew it too. So it's you who has the cheek to talk about racism. You are already slightly over-represented in politics, you have been given a foot in every door, pandered to and given opportunities at every turn, but it's never enough for you.

Maori leasehold land is a weeping sore which can easily be urgently addressed by government buyouts (where leaseholds have been subsequently purchased in good faith for fair value) and return to the owners with the improvements; and also allow legal action for restitution against the persons who fraudulently engineered the creation of the leases. Maori lease land is less than 2% of land administered by the Government. One way for the government to put it's "equality" money where it's mouth is.

For Pakeha to gain legitimacy here, it is they who must place their trust in Maori, not the other way around. They must accept that it is for the tangata whenua to determine their status in this land, and to do so in accordance with tikanga Maori. There is no doubt that many Pakeha will find this challenging: their obsession with control over the Mãori-Pakeha relationship to date could almost be categorised as a form of compulsive disorder. Giving up such control requires a leap of faith on the part of Pakeha. ... Nothing less will suffice if they truly want to gain the sense of belonging they so crave, the sense of identity that until now has proven so elusive - Ani Mikaere

[@Alex462047]

You won't find too many Pakeha happy to do that, for a number of reasons. Firstly, because the Maori came to the British for law and order, their society was strife-riddled to that point. Secondly, because the Pakeha have observed over the many decades a master-class in the blatant racism engaged in by Maori activists, they have absolutely no time for non-Maori, tell everybody else to "go home" (never minding the fact that the home of most Pakeha is in NZ, they were born there). Trusting that would be like a white farmer trusting Robert Mugabe to look after his interests.

te tiriti set out the beginnings of a relationship between two forms of governance, two independent peoples, with obligations and responsibilities towards each other. Those relationship beginnings were never allowed to flourish or evolve over time in the presence of colonisation. Our great grandmother of Te Arawa descent, married someone who carried all of the coloniser mentality and she was treated like a slave. Her daughter remembers them sneaking out to attend a tangi and when they got home they were stripped and scrubbed down with a scrubbing brush because they had been out there associating with the dirty maoris. And now the Coalitionof Chaos (CoC) is attempting to scrub maori out of any potential existence in legislation or any seat of potential power. Shame on them. This is more complex than disdvantage.

In fact I was part of a study about it that showed Sutton's guess based on one guy's observations in a week long period of a single iwi decimated after a long running conflict were not only illogically based on french life expectancy, but had fundamental flaws considering he had to ignore the "elderly" in that same iwi to come to those conclusions. This is the difference between someone who actually studied the subject with primary sources, and someone who "read it on my mates facebook page!". Why??? Because a smart person would ask how could Cook have not met any Maori over the age of 30, when they were the ones who dealt with his original kidnapping of the children.

Simon, talking shet, they been trying to talk what the treaty means for years but they been saying it backwards for years. Their idea of the treaty is totally different.

Maori need to be more angry about the fact that this is Maori attacking Maori, 2 of the 3 leaders of the coalition government are Maori. Yes policies can be rolled back, however the damage done to the relationship between Maori and Pakeha will take decades to rebuild.

How much reparations have been paid by Māori to Moriori? Māori tribes still try claim ownership over the Chatham Islands. A case of do as I say not as I do.

[@shadowboxing7029]

That's rather sensationalist, 2 Maori people attacking Maori on a whole? How you gonna isolate them and not look at how they got to be in those positions of power?

A very very slanted view .TO the point of lies! study history ! Before "colonisation" Maori ((a VERY warlike culture...check out the HAKA! ) aquired muskets & in 25 years cut their population in HALF! .similar to the "Highland clearances"( that was Scots AGAINST Scots ) this dreadful genocidal disruption created awful consequences ...which take generations to solve. Maori can & do rise to the top of society (I am an old guy who has had several great maori friends ...I knew a Maori Spitfire Piolet,! Recently (30 years) a crew of soft woke mad left " academics have made a strange "power grab" to "REINTERPERATE "the Treaty of Waitangi ( which halted the terribly tribal slaughters) Based on strange exploy tation of maori language meanings.( Maori like all tribal languages can be very ambiguous , Arabic has words that can mean 20 differences!) ...RACIAL ENTITLEMENTS lead to crazy outcomes eventually if given blanket application.

You need to go back and read a bit more. Colonialism was part of the demise, and disparity. Wasn't just warring iwis turning muskets on one another.

[@BigHitter23]

It's fair to say that the treaty and Crown involvement helped cool tribal wars. That's not the issue. The issue is any demise or disposition of the treaty affects Iwi and empowers the government to govern Iwi. That's what the Treaty stands for. It's a partnership and will always be a partnership not a dictatorship

Im seeing a lot of anti maori comments on here. Shameful new Zealand 😠

[@Billy-f1j]

Perhaps you interpret anything that pushes back against anything that divides people on race as being anti-Māori. Māori a nice people but the far left have hijacked and played the grievance card to try get financial benefits for themselves based on race or at least their own claimed race. Government help should be based solely on need, likewise appointments to positions of power should be on merit only, not arbitrary factors that people can't control such as ones race or gender.

Europeans didn't settle NZ until the very late 18th century, not the 17th. Also, Maori health woes are echoed in their propensity to smoke cigarettes, drink alcohol and eat high fat foods. Much higher than any other ethnic group in NZ.
