About time there was an investigation into early New Zealand history. Certain peoples prefer that nothing is discovered.....

[@eeeaten]

so you're saying the scientists who spend their lives searching to uncover evidence about our history actually want to find nothing?

[@paulyoshikoclemo1294]

It seems to go in 700 year cycles.The Maori arrived in 1250 from Taiwan originally. Before them,the Waitaha arrived in 550AD from South America bringing with them the kumera.Then before them the Patupairehe arrived from Persia in 250BC. Maori don't want to know this history as it gives them less claim on NZ.The tangata whenua lived peacefully in NZ for over 1,000 years before Maori arrived.

[@eeeaten]

@@paulyoshikoclemo1294 none of that is true. let me help you to learn our history: about 4000 years ago austronesians sailed to the philippines, madagascar, the western pacific. about 3000 years ago they reached tonga/samoa, and over the next thousand years or so became polynesian there. about 1500 years ago polynesians sailed to tahiti about 800 years ago they sailed to hawaii, easter island, new zealand. they were the first people in those places. about 600 years ago a group of them sailed to the chatham islands and became moriori there. the first people of new zealand were the eastern polynesian ancestors of maori, arriving from around 1250AD. all this is supported by science. what you claim above is fantasy stories from kooks.

[@Sun-ei4gi]

Unfortunately the winners of war write the history. Cortes and his men destroyed much of the incas and aztecs history books. Then mad an effort to preserve some, by then it was too late. Russia lost all their history from communist takeover. The tartary empire all but forgotten. Europeans are currently having their history changed. Statues being pulled down all over the western world. History Rewritten. Films and myths are constantly being changed to suit modern day populations and communist ideology. Political correctness. China's history is being erased. From the covering up their temples. The hidden history of the tarim basin mummies in china of indo European decent. Oldest mummies in China. Also how a few Europeans mysteriously found buried by the terracotta army. The Middle East are destroying old Buddhist statues, isis blow them up, some are 1000s of years old, much like how china are deconstructing them. Colonialism erased and also helped preserve artifacts. Chinese people were known to sell off artifacts to Europeans to stop them beign destroyed in their own country.. which never gets a word in. Egypt for example, the arabs removed the shiny polished limestone finish of the giza pyramids to use the limestone in the building of mosques.

If there is NO evidence, documentation, depictions or photos of something in the past then it is relegated to being 'Oral Only' and speculated by everyone or anyone never to be labelled wrong or right/true or false.

[@markbenge7288]

Thank you for this very interesting documentary. The story of the digger worker rang a bell with me. Concerning a story that my father told me. During his time, there was digging happening, where a grave was found. The skeleton was sitting up, in the foetal position. They stopped working and asked for help from the local maori about what they were to do. He said, that it was a criminal, that’s why he’s buried that way. Don’t worry about it. Continue with your work. Forget about it. My father told me that when I was a kid. I’m 58 now. I’ve also wondered about that story as I have been to the Chatham Islands. Where I’m told was the traditional way of burying their dead. Further, the comment about the marxist agenda rings true in 2022. Thanks again. I’m going to watch part 2. 🇳🇿NZ

[@Rooxie973]

@@johnsmulders5070 It's those such as yourself that will allow hate to permeate our culture. We emigrated here in very recent history via the ocean routes. In contrast to the indigenous Australians that have inhabited Australia since 50 or 60,000 years, well before the evolution of modern humans 10,000 years ago. The Maori claim is 1,000 years? Look at the damage done in that short time of pre-european contact. There's evidence of 40% forest cover being scorched, many species of indigenous organisms driven to extinction and the effects of utu-fuelled wars and widespread starvation. Maori have not been the kaitiaki that our kids are being educated on today. The word itself, Maori, has never represented one people or one land. Maori have always been divided by waka and iwi, and have never considered that these islands were one country. There's no word for New Zealand in Maori. The word Aotearoa is old pūrākau about Kupe's wife and was a word to describe the north island. The idea of unification is a colonial idea

Thank you. My ex is green eyed and freckles Nga Puhi and told me similar stories including the design of carvings and moko. It would be awesome if the true history could be outted as there is a lot of cultural unrest and racism in New Zealand that this would really shake up. Many are shocked at the word indigenous being thrown around. You cannot have stories of travelling here on boats that are so strong as part of the culture and call yourself the first and only inhabitants of a country, it's one or the other. The word has lost its meaning and is an insult to true indigenous people.

[@eeeaten]

Just look up the definition of the word “indigenous” in anthropology. Maori are indigenous and are the first people of New Zealand.

[@stu290bushrider]

I kind of agree with you on the indigenous line. Upon just googling the meaning, it would seem Maori are in fact indigenous. Just as Pukeko are indigenous to NZ, even though they migrated here from Australia a thousand or so years ago.

Fun reference, the colonization of the Maori peoples in New Zealand was used in context to argue against the war and annexation of Texas, the exact quote is “ Such has been the fact. Plundering, massacres, cruelties, the killing of the wounded on the field of battle, and even in some cases burning alive at the stake, have been recorded on the highest official authority, as a part of the history of the Mexican war. Two free Christian nations, in the nineteenth century, going to war with one another, and in that war witnessing and perpetrating barbarities that would disgrace New Zealand!” In short, although the colonization of the Māori was unjust, it would be trumped by the acts and nature of the Mexican American war of 1846, which was said to be more brutal and more overt than what the English were doing, and one that they said would even make the colonists of New Zealand shutter at the flagrant violence , like the Māori Mexico lost 55% of its territory, and suffers from it ever since

Why is some history hidden?

[@boldasalion6436]

Not just some history is hidden but most of our history is hidden by the powers that be because they do not want people to know that we (all nations & generations) are brothers & sisters created in our heavenly Father's image. They will do everything in their power to hide God because they worship Lucifer. This is why the Smithsonian hid & destroyed giant bones throughout its history because it proves God's Word to be true yet again!! They have to keep the evolution lie going so as to deceive as many as they can. Great question & using critical thinking, never stop.

Interesting, intriguing even - but the Welsh aren’t Celts - for another day but the term Celt is grossly misused today. One might be able to place the Irish and the Scots (just Irish Gaels who invaded Scotland) under the broad umbrella of Celtic, due to their language being related to the so called ‘Celtic’ languages of the continent etc however, the Welsh and Picts are far older! Welsh dna is most closely related to Basque dna and the basques are a pre-indoeuropean people. Pre indoeuropean people (very few) had fairs eyes but not fair hair - that comes from the East - the Urals and Russian steppes etc... from there down into Persia and northern India before coming to Europe. Red/blond hair (not fair eyes) is a result of genetic isolation - it’s why so many Irish and Scots today have it, why so many Scandinavians have it, why the mountain people’s in northern India have and... yes, it’s why many Polynesian islanders have it - the aborigines in northern Australia, Kimberly and Darwin etc, they also have it due to isolation... the connection to the ancient indoeuropean populations is more plausible than any connection to the Welsh or any Celts - wishful thinking on that one! But the indoeuropean connection? It’s now thought be many that pre cataclysms the world was one united indoeuropean culture and the indoeuropeans dominated the whole earth etc etc... now that is intriguing!

(Muslims dye their beards red to venerate Muhammad - who apparently had a red beard) it’s hard to find an answer to that question from geneticists!

My awareness is that Maori arrived here long before the time frame in this documentary. My spiritual understanding is Maori originally came from the island of Og in Atlantis. Prior to the demise of Atlantis and the majority migrated to Peru. Others from the island of Aryn in the Atlantis migrated north the beginning of the Celtic race. The remainder from the island of Poseida in Atlantis went into what we know as America. They are the American Indians. These 3 islands were the last remaining islands of Atlantis which had had previous upheavals separating them into islands and to my knowledge is what the old time memories of Maori refer to as Hawaiiki Nui. Lemuria was the first civilization on the planet. We are the same souls returning to the earth time and time again and each time we reincarnated into many different races according to the lessons our souls require.

One can only assume that they have an agenda, and such information does not suit their cause. Or the evidence buried beneath ash and lava from the Taupo eruption, of mankind being here pre that time. There will be a day of reckoning when the history that is currently being "swept under the carpet" will be brought out of the darkness (Te Papa museum) and become mainstream.

After intense cross examination the late Noel Hilliam, documentary creator, was reported to have been in cahoots with unknown persons to have been in possession of ancient Maori skulls which had been stolen in Hilliam's efforts to prove his theory. Academics have denied having been in contact with either Hiliiam and Martin Doutre and have stated they've never verified the findings for them either even though Doutre and Hilliam note that academics have supported there claims. Martin Doutre (another of the documentaries creators) has ties to white supremacist overseas and one here in New Zealand, Kerry Bolton, well known here in our country, whom has been involved in attempting to disprove Maori and our indigenous rights to Aotearoa for quite some time. Martin Doutre believes there is a conspiracy here in New Zealand he points out there is a suppression of history by mainstream academics all working together to hide evidence that pakeha notibly Celts had visited Aotearoa centuries before Maori.

Kia ora koutou, no Ngāti Porou ahau, hoki. It's important to go straight to the source of our whakapapa stories, our rangatira, our matua, our kuia. Some of the information in this doco is incorrect and problematic. Some who speak in this documentary have no sources to back up their claims, and even belongs to far right groups. This doco surely shows the age it was created in.

Blonde hair runs in my whanau too. Not myself but many if my sisters, my son & neices & nephews have what we call 'waka blonde' hair. No sorry, not inherited from any bloody fairy people but from my ggg grandfather who was English. This story though 😂
