    Thankyou. I remember riding in the trams up Queen Street, Onehunga with my mother in the early 50s. They had wooden slatted seats. I can still remember the sounds and the paper tickets.

    This was taken before the Civic Picture Palace was built
    And it was a great mistake in removing all the Trams 🚊 from the streets of Auckland
    Modern Queen Street looks like a dump with the removal of all the historic buildings and they have been replaced by concrete and glass eyesores

    Cool historical footage of the change in auckland but if you see it from our point of view (Ngati Whatua Orakei) it ain't cool what your ancestors done to our people also damage caused to tangaroa in the process.

    • @alstar70
      @alstar70  3 роки тому +5

      Many of the Scots and Irish who came here were kicked off their own historical lands by the elites, your complaints are with the crown and elites, they are the ones who screwed people over then and now. I think it’s great these people didn’t play the victim and built a new amazing city of many cultures. Some were even physically tied up and thrown into the immigration ships, so it’s quite a complex story both ways, we can now only seek to build a better tomorrow and the blood now has been well and truly mixed.

    I hope no one takes this seriously, your clip is very mis-informed, especially your information about the "marrys". Last time we looked out the window, Queen St was not in Onehunga!!! Maybe you should research a little more

    • @alstar70
      @alstar70  5 років тому +5

      H S Asiata largely depopulated compared to the tens of thousands who lived there before, maybe you need to do the research and listen more closely to what I actually said. Unfortunately due to the musket wars, disease,etc the original native population that Auckland had supported had been decimated compared to prior population, maybe you need to do some more research from source documents, etc. P.S. Onehunga had a Queen street as well as I well know seeing I grew up there but WTF would I know.

    • @alstar70
      @alstar70  5 років тому +4

      My ancestors were in New Zealand in 1838 pre treaty. But you look at a map with Onehunga mall and think that was the name of the street given I had several great grandparents living in Onehunga I know well that original street name for the mall, was Queen street go to the library and look it up bro, I’ll wait for my apology. I'll give you a hint the name change happened in 1972 - the clip of the trams was 1950's when it was still called Queen Street.

    Interesting too hear your opinion on the becoming events which took place in the birth of our city Auckland (Tāmaki) , it would help if your unfound statements about the so called "marray" musket war's was backed with some evidence ;).. Keep up the good work

    • @alstar70
      @alstar70  11 років тому +4

      Given the cones of many volcanoes show extensive terraces, massive earthworks, etc Auckland once supported a huge native population, this however was not the case by 1840 with the hill pahs unoccupied. Sorry I didn't go into the Maori history too much, if you would like to do a video response to cover the 800 plus years I missed feel free. Seeing I am no longer in Auckland I can't do a video on the massive earthworks on the volcanic cones - they should be a tourist attraction in their own right but most people just walk by without appreciating the amazing accomplishments.

    This narrator has the worst pronunciation. NZ is a beautiful place but the white folks there are a bit racist. The Maori people are treated second class although they are indigenous.

      No doubt there are some racist people in New Zealand, from every colour. But to say that Maori are treated like second class citizens, is a massive exaggeration at best and outright lies at worst. When you compare the situation of Maori to the Aboriginals of Australia or the Native Americans, you might realise that Maori didn't have it anywhere near as bad. If they were really treated like second class citizens, then why would the government make te reo an official language, prioritize Maori culture over others, make Maori scholarships and create programs to help advance Maori families with lower incomes and try to settle land disputes from the past?

      You'd think after 200 years of being here they'd at least try and get the pronunciation of the Marry (Maori) by now.
