The latest activation from Toitū Te Tiriti is coming in November | The Hui 2024

Julian Wilcox speaks to veteran activist Hone Harawira and hīkoi organiser Eru Kapa-Kingi about taking their fight to parliament. Marchers will gather at Cape Reinga at dawn on Monday November 11. Over the next week, they will march through Kaitaia, Whangārei, Dargaville, Auckland’s North Shore, Bastion Point, Huntly, Hamilton, Rotorua, Hastings, Palmerston North and Porirua. Participants will travel by car or bus between towns in order to gather at Parliament on November 19 when Act leader David Seymour’s bill is introduced to parliament. The planned hīkoi is the latest in a series of activations and hui in response to coalition government policies relating to Māori. As well as the Treaty Principles Bill, the coalition has disbanded Te Aka Whai Ora, the Māori Health Authority; repealed section 7AA which required Oranga Tamariki to keep children in care connected to their culture; and begun moves to strip Treaty of Waitangi provisions from 28 pieces of legislation. Community providers have had funding cut and government departments have been told to use their English names ahead of those in te reo.

Wiremu Kingi is my evidence. One of the Originals from Te Whakaputanga. His name is stamped there. He attended the last Maori Native Land Court Hui in Hungahungatoroa Te Rawhiti not Hungahungatoroa Gate Pa and said that they were discussing the Native Land Ordinance Act 1841 before they were descended upon and taken away to Rekohu, Whakauri as Hauhau and whakarau. Te Kooti escaped with them and he was trying to take them to Tawhiao for protection. That's where Rewi Maniapoto comes in. They tried their best. Unfortunately a number of them lost their lives at the Ngatapa Siege January the 5th 1869.That's Tohi Te Ururangi actually died at the Ngatapa Siege. His pakeha name was Pekama Winiata aka Beckham Wynyard. The crown told lies and said he retired from his Registrar Magistrate duties when he actually murdered by the crown at Ngatapa.

Te Kooti and Rewi Maniapoto were trying to save the remnants of the original Maori Native Land Court and they were trying to access this boundary.

There is talk by this young Maori activist about the lack of education around te tiriti That it is Maori's ideal is to to have self determination in governing this land. A separation of everything; Education, Judicial system, Health system etc. To be left alone to make their own way in many, if not all, aspects of life here in New Zealand. In short to be completely separate and distinct from all the other ethnicities living within New Zealand. Correct me if I am wrong. Maori want to be known as the first among many people groups of New Zealand. To be seen and to have preeminence and preference. over the 160 ethnicities that now live here. That Maori have more rights than any other people groups because they were the first to these shores. This means that Maori should have the first slice of the cake in everything. To have the major say and to have the final say in any decision made as to what happens in the every day life of all peoples that live here ...Now. Are you still with me. Maori want their culture and way of life to be the predominant way of life for all New Zealanders. They want Maoritanga and the speaking of te reo to be embraced by everyone that live here. People are here by invitation and therefore all other people groups would have to follow Tikanga and the Maori way of doing things. Is this what Maori want? Correct me if I am wrong.
