I'm glad she spoke. She is right. One of the reasons why the Treaty had to be put into place was because of all the prostitution and crime happening from settlers up at Russell. Her and Tina Ngata know their stuff in terms of colonisation, James Cook and the Treaty. We need more academic wāhine Māori and Tāne who use their mouth and brains to break down systemic racism within the goverment like this.

Whats new

[@Thewandereringanzac]

By giving money to an iwi and not a hapu which signed the treaty they’re already in breach. The iwi is a corporation set up after the treaty was signed in order to corral Maori into easy to manage entities. These entities go for survival over divvying out the funds. It’s understandable. They do offer scholarships and other things you can appply for I’ve done it myself. So blame the iwi but blame the waitangi tribunal and also the govt for not giving money directly to hapu. Hapu whose land has been trampled and stolen and confiscated and we only got about 4% of it back so don’t complain to much we should take it all back.

That line of thought only works for those chiefs who signed the English version - and history tells us that the 39 who did were advised to by a the missionary Maunsell - a trusted and by all accounts, respected member of the clergy by Maori - as there was no more room left on the Te Reo copy which states Maori did not cede their Tino Rangatiratanga.

[@jackiebiggs7071]

@@joskempbaker831 I believe Maori kept their chieftainship rights over the territories and boundaries they agreed upon at the signing. Do you really think the British empire was agreeing to 'co govern' with a few thousand people. New Zealand was a nuisance to them as there were no resources worth conquering the country for and they didn't need another war, they were already engaged in 4 separate conflicts and new Zealand wasn't worth the expense but I'm sure queen Victoria and the British government didn't see themselves as anything but the dominant party to the agreement.

I have family members who served in the NZ forces who promised allegiance to God, for King and for Country, losing their lives in doing so. The expanse between isn't so vast that a bridge cannot be built.

[@BruceNJeffAreMyFlies]

Cool story. I can't speak french, but I don't go commenting that fact on French videos 🤣🤣 International law is pretty clear that the text signed by the natives, in their native tongue, is the document that holds precedent. If there are discrepencies between documents, then the one in their tongue is the one to be taken as law. If there is any misunderstanding, or any vagueness, then the interpretation also goes in favour of Māori. Again, international law. It's not that hard to learn enough to translate the text yourself. Google translate is pretty good these days, there are very reliable Māori dictionaries, and ChatGPT is specifically designed to understand language. No excuse for pākehā like you and I to be entirely unable AND unwilling to learn the language AND to comment on Māori texts in the same vein... We can continue being ignorant, or we can learn and read for ourselves. We don't get to do both at once.
