I am Maori from Aotearoa (New Zealand), and I appreciate your heartfelt reaction to one of our country’s most precious sons and Taonga - Stan. He truly walks with all of his Tipuna (ancestors) around him.

I’m so glad you reacted to the live version and got to sort of know him as a person. Stan is such a sweet soul with a big heart. The Māori language was suppressed in schools, either formally or informally, to ensure that Māori youngsters assimilated with the wider community. Some older Māori still recall being punished for speaking their language right up to the mid 80’s. Māori was made an official language of New Zealand under the Maori Language Act 1987.

It was Maori who petitioned the crown to ban the speaking of tereo in native classrooms in 1876 , because they wanted their children to have a better future speaking english .. So blame maori for that . Though the maori of those times were wiser unlike the part maori fools today. Wise up.

Aotearoa, NZ was colonised brutally, cruelly by Britain and their Catholic missionaries. Our ancestors were stripped of culture, language, spiritual values, our medicines, and connections to our environment. We were forced off our lands. We were successfully trading to the America's. Britain introduced disease, alcohol, meat, drugs greed, and christianity. For all of that, we have a treaty with 2 interpretations. The Crown and Maori. Maori took the NZ government to the Privy Council in the 90s and won because we didn't cede sovereignty. Crown interpretation posits we did. We still fight for our rights today with the new right-wing government. The difference today is our young Pākeha (non-Maori) supporters, and we're ready for the fight this time. Our young people together are strong in the combined culture. We've carved an identity that is unique to us in a language we can share, but today's government feels threatened by it. Colonialism attachments to the past. It surprises me that this colonial history isn't taught in schools of Britain. We blame the greedy land grabbing politicians. This was their M.O. internationally.

My late grandmother was beaten for speaking Diné (Navajo), taken from her parents put into boarding schools, given white names, cutting her hair. Striping her identity of who she is. She tell us stories about her boarding school days. Tears would run down her face telling us about it. But, at the same she also teaching and installing in us to never forget. Never forget who you are,where you come from your parents and speak Diné no matter where you go.

So today was my first time seeing this song from Stan, I love it, I felt the emotion of the songs message. Being Maori myself just made me feel proud of Stan and made me revisit my own origins. Yes, when we were colonised, our ancestors were not allowed to speak Maori. We lost our language, and it's still being revived today. However, unlike Stan, I'm one of the descendants that was not taught our language. My dad was fairly traumatised so in our home we lost that ability. Love the song, look forward to watching the movie 'Origin'.

❤ thanks for reacting to this. Awesome ❤ Stan performing live is amazing. I've been to many of his concerts. So proud of him. Thank you for this reaction. It was made law in NZ in 1867 that Maori language was banned in schools. Even 100 years later my parents "hit" for speaking Maori. In the last 50 years there has been huge progress with Maori becoming the second official language in NZ and now this year after the recent election our new coalition government wants to get rid of "Maori". We are protesting and petitioning that this won't happen. Stan brings out this song "I am" at the right time. It's like an anthem for us.

@@user-cz9pp9rn4y Yes many Maori parents wanted English taught in schools in those days, for very obvious reasons. But they didn't want, and certainly didn't expect, their own language and culture to denigrated and abolished in the process, and to become something punishable. There are many records of parents complaining about teachers abusing their children for speaking Maori in those times.

Stan in person is different from Stan the singer. He has jokes for days but with his craft he is next level proffesional. His idol as an artist is Beyonce, who he opened for when she was in NZ. He's become more immersed in his culture now and it's like that's strengthened his backbone and is out in the world, loud and proud to be Maori. But he's also shy, humble, like just one of the humblest people I've seen and introverted. He's carrying his culture on his skin, in his heart, with his words and in his actions. Honestly he blows my mind on every level as a performer and a person. Glad you are looking into the man and not just the singer. Nga mihi ❤️❤️

Christian Mission schools in NZ as the same as Australia, punished children whenever they spoke their native languages. They were physically beaten and psychologically abused for it, and also sexually abused as well! It's an awfully shameful past that colonizers forced onto indigenous all around the world! This is what Stan means when he said that his grandparents, and great grandparents were punished for speaking their own language.

@Az-co4pq 11 ай бұрын

Those very same Christian Schools did the same thing to every indigenous community they contacted, from the Native American Indians, the African American community, South American people, Māori, Australia, Africa - the people were punished for being who they culturally were. All in the name of Christianity. All in the support of their Caste System, which stands today.

My Koro fought in WW2 as part of C Company's 28th Maori Battalion and came home a changed man. My father was caned in school for speaking Te Reo and I grew up thinking being Maori was bad, not knowing much about my history or who i was and where i came from. I have since got in touch with my history via various whanau members to learn my Whakapapa, and have found my Wairua and have passed it down to my daughter... and now she can grow up unashamedly Maori:) too meke Stan...

Kia Ora - yes, I remember my grandmother saying our people were beaten for speaking our native tongue in school (beating the language out of them), because they suffered they didn’t want their children, my mother’s generation to go through the same things they went through therefore we have a generational language gap in our history, my mother & siblings do not speak Māori in some areas of Aotearoa (NZ), when I went to school the language was slowly being introduced & todays generation (due to our people fighting for equity) we now have Kohanga Reo (preschool), Kura Kaupapa Māori (5-18yrs) full immersion Māori schools etc here in Aotearoa. Today, we still fight for equity, our reo (language), health services and more…

We like a lot of colonised countries have a shameful past where cultural genocide was a common practice. However there has been a massive movement since the 1980’s to repair the damage. Te Reo Maori is taught in play centers, kindergartens, primary schools, intermediate schools, High schools and universities. In the region where l live in New Zealand it is getting harder to find an English based school, as many are switching to Te Kura. However, English is also taught in Te Kura schools, as we require English to participate at a domestic level and in a global world. Te Reo Maori is to me, one of the most beautiful languages spoken. Ēhara tāku i te toa takatahi, engari he toa takitini. Our strength is not made from us alone, but made from many

I'm 50 and when I was at school we were taught oma rapeti (run rabit) and aeiou (a song that teaches how to pronounce the Maori vowels), but outside those moments, kids would get the strap for speaking Maori. It made no sense and was one of the many things that contributed to making me feel unsafe at school.

@@Room2703Reacts the reason you don't get the vibe is because that's your cuddly feel good perception is totally lacking perspective. The big picture is separatism is being pushed in NZ and many Maori are wanting entirely separate systems and advocacy for Maori only health, education, justice , welfare systems etc. That's apartheid. Its a cult and group identity politics reinforces an ""us and them" ideology. The same is happening with LGBTQ , its now turned into a diabolical cult pushing paedophilia, and transgenderism into schools. There is nothing beautiful about separatism, so think again and get some perspective on the whole thing instead of enabling evil!
