Stolen Lands | Episode 1: The Chief | RNZ

[@michaelcooney7687]

I was born in NZ and spent a lot of time with Māori when I was a younger pakeha boy The spoken language is very familiar to my ear as I know many conversational words and phrases but piecing the language together eludes me. Every few words I get the gist of the conversation and try to read between the lines but lack flow. If we had subtitles to fill in the gaps of understanding it’d go a long way soak up the essence. Appreciated Kia Ora

[@trisht5935]

Love that ❤

[@ChooseWiselyAlways]

You sound more maori than me, lol. I'm a direct descendants of 8 very noble Maori bloodlines, including paramount chiefs. I'm proud of my Maori lineage, but I was raised in a European world, white privilege, private schooling 🏫 I'm an urban city slicker, but my mum had a taste of both the country and city lifestyle and Maori and European culture growing up. She also attended Queen Victoria Maori girls boarding school in Parnell, when it was considered prestigious and for privaleged Maori. She became seriously involved in Maori affairs when she was in her 30's, highly qualified, well educated, and continues to be involved and she has achieved alot for Maori in general and her hapu's. I have many Maori relatives who were/are dignitaries, deceased and alive. Big deals, including some of my mums positions. YET..... I'm glad I was bought up European. I don't feel Maori, dot speak Maori , don't sound Maori, but I am proud of my Maori ancestry and I acknowledge it well. ❤

My Friend at work is a lighter skin Māori who grew up in Christchurch and she told me of the horrid racism she faced, that the teachers would belittle her, call her names, treat her differently to other kids in her majority white school. One day her family went to their car and it had the N word graffitied on it and windows smashed. And old white men would hit on her all the time because of her beautiful green eyes. When she left her school she went into her classroom and smashed it up as a big FU to the teacher. She is such a beautiful person inside and out, I’m sorry she experienced that.

Tuhoe access to the sea was never lost because of the battle of maraetotara. It’s a misnomer to say Tuhoe lost when in fact it was only one hapū of Tuhoe that were there. They were assisting ngati Awa and won the battle. The Whakatohea women performed a randy haka and the men dropped their guard and were defeated. Also, the whakatohea boundary here is an over exaggeration. The map goes over waimana kaaku and in to the waikare river. The waimana river was never called that it’s called Tauranga. Get your history right. Treaty settlements cause people to overextend their mana. Honour the tīpuna, but don’t create things that never happened. Remember it was Tuhoe who sheltered a lot of the Whakatohea during the land wars and is evident in whakapapa today. Whakatohea mana in ohiwa grew following 1840s when their people were released from captivity in hauraki and up north.

The Hyksos were the first known foriegn rulers of Kemet 1650BCE-1550BCE. The first known Greek contact into Africa was in the 14 century BCE who eventually studied through the Mystic System & eventually changed the name of Kemet to what is genrally known as Egypt.

??? They made a treaty that promises Māori the right to full ownership of their lands, forests, fisheries, and other possessions. Land was wrongfully taken from Māori and not in accordance with the treaty of Waitangi, so that is why the Disputes Tribunal was created. It is not a blame game simple just that the Crown didn’t fulfil their promise to the Māori in some cases. Skin colour doesn’t matter and we are all New Zealander, with equal importance.

What the heck does this have to do with this? Ans it is God Almighty and he only who can punish and judge anyone : Matthew 7 :: NIV. "Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. "Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?
