I’m Irish and always very moved by the Māori reclamation of language and culture ❤️ I am one of the 1% of the Irish people who is fluent in Irish. Never give up hope. Strength and love always. 🤍

All New Zealander’s who have the savvy to know, are immensely proud of the fact that The Great Maori Nation is the greatest of all indigenous nations on the face of the earth, because of their exceptional ability to be great thinkers. There is none like them. And whilst the American Red Indians from yesteryear are considered by many to be a great indigenous nation, nevertheless they don’t hold a candle to the deep thinking wisdom of The Great Māori Nation, who could always outthink them, with a wisdom that simply outshines, like light on the blackest night. The Great Māori Nation keeps progressing while all other indigenous tribes such as American Indians seem to regress. The Māori people, in this instance, must surely be seen as a light to the rest of the world, like a victorious flame of hope, that keeps shining ever so brightly. Governor Sir George Grey was one of the first prominent Europeans to arrive at the realisation of these high levels of intelligence of Maoridom, because he got to know them by getting alongside them. His great respect for them resulted in receiving the honour he greatly cherished, as being a friend of The Great Māori Nation. He expressed his great love and admiration of them by providing them with farming equipment and assisting them as much as he could, along with learning to speak their language fluently, becoming a scholar of Māori culture, publishing books on the subject in London-for the purpose of giving richly deserved confidence to his new found Maori friends, whom he believed in with undying belief until his dying day in a London hotel, and did so with ceaseless admiration. And today there are many New Zealand descendants from those early Europeans, but others too, who like George Grey, love and admire this amazing race of people, whom they are immensely proud of, hoping they could be like blood brothers, and certainly wanting to be the best of friends, desiring only their highest good. And whilst these European descendants could be tempted to be jealous of the qualities they don’t have, which belong exclusively to The Great Māori Nation, nevertheless they accept the fact, that this is the way God made them, and therefore choose to admire their confidence, and bless them for being the special people they are. Unbeknownst to many people, but there does exist in New Zealand a mutual admiration society, that’s not spoken of, of Pakeha and Māori admiring one another. And this is the reason why New Zealand, though a small country, is in its own right, a great country, which we fondly call Aotearoa. This melting pot of Māori and Pakeha is the main reason for New Zealand’s greatness, and without these two great tribes blending together with mutual love and admiration, we would just be another Australia, which is a fine country, but they don’t have the X factor or the exceptional creative winning attitude that New Zealander’s have. We have produced the likes of Sir Keith Park who did so much to win the Battle of Britain or the beautiful Dame Kiri Te Kanawa who was chosen above all others to sing at Charles and Diana’s wedding because she was the best of the best. There was simply no one better in the world. There are many great names such as Inia Te Wiata or Michael Campbell who won the US Open with little or no support, which he should be knighted for, but this list could go on and on, with too many to mention, though why doesn’t someone should write a book titled The Māori Great Ones. And Grant Dalton and Sir Peter Blake would not have achieved their America’s cup success without being blessed with the New Zealand X factor which is a combination of the atmosphere of two Great tribes, Māori and Pakeha being blended together. If Winston Peters was prime minister he would be the most beloved man to have ever held this high office, and New Zealander’s would be extremely proud of him, representing them on the world stage, deeming him to be the best of the best. Others look at us, and try to figure out how to beat us at those things we are very good at, but because they don’t know it’s the blend of Māori and Pakeha culture that’s making it happen, they just go away scratching their heads. Hence we are seemingly unstoppable. And as it takes two to tango, it also takes two great societies to be winners, because two heads are always better than one, and Māori and Pakeha, are, and always will be, the best blend God could ever have put together, and in all humility we have proven it, time and time again, haven’t we. It’s a combination thats seen by some astute outsiders as being the best of the best. The Great Māori Nation’s insatiable appetite for winning is an attitude that’s now permeated all of New Zealand society, hence we have become a country of world beaters, ready to take on all comers with our Haka. There is creative part of us that sometimes wants to unselfishly say, all for one and one for all. Because together we are strong with our common bond of natural affection like brother to brother. And that’s why we are Kiwis. That’s who we are. That’s what we are. And those of us who are New Zealanders are grateful and proud that we are blessed to be from the land down under, called Aotearoa, the country of hope and opportunity. And even though we are realists, nothing seemingly is impossible to us, if we make our up our minds, for it to be so. Love is the key, a lesson this old man of 77 has taken a lifetime to learn. I’m a late learner. Learning to be happy for the other guy who has got more, and losing my jealousy was a great work God eventually did for this uncooperative old man, which regrettably took too many years, though better late than never. But this love makes us happier and more positive and allows success to more easily flow our way. It’s the Kiwi way. It’s the way of faith and I’m all for it, as are all of you, you true blue New Zealanders. God bless you all. I love you.
Firstly this has got to be my favourite channel. Love the way you celebrate & share all these beautiful & amazing cultures with the rest of us. It's so important to document & try not lose the riches of all the diverse peoples of this world, now & before. This one was brilliant. The world governments need to take leaf out of NZ's books & start granting our natural wonders the same rights to life as we human have & we may start actually helping the climate. Just love the deep spirituality the Maouri people have with nature, their art, their ancestors & one another. (forgive me if i butchered the spelling)... They take community & togetherness so seriously & poignantly & i think it really highlights what we need so much more of in this world. I believe it's healing powers are immense & of great use to us all. Cannot praise the channel & its excellent content enough. LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!!!!! MORE MORE MORE PLEASE!!!!!
What a treat to watch this documentary about a beautiful culture and its people and the majestic landscapes, If I am to come back to the earth I will choose to be born in New Zealand 😍
The Treaty of Waitangi was an agreement to allow Pakeha to settle in New Zealand from the Maori point of view. It was never entered into with the intention of land being given away, sold or confiscated. But that is what the British did. Now the ACT Party wants to take Te Whenua out of the equation. Erase Maori from the Treaty as if it wasn't about Maori but about "universal human rights" i.e, Pakeha dominance. In fact they want to tear up the treaty and forget that the Maori made an agreement
Awesome whanau! My Nan, my Koro and their whanau grew up on the Whanganui river. My Koro is from Taumarunui and Nan is from Parikino, Pipiriki and both are now resting forever more at Pungarehu on the banks of the Whanganui Awa. I would love to do this Awa tour.
That film "Boy" was a film based the history of the Maori's. For example the scene when that maori kid took a shit in the bushes then when finished came out and told the other kids that they had just taken a big shit. Then one of the other kids when in to the bushes to take a good look at it. That is something that is part of the maori culture and their history.........otherwise the film maker (a maori) wouldn´t have put that scene in the film.
We are glad to share these documentaires with everybody ! It's really touching to see how people are moved by them 🤗😁 ! Don't Forget to like and subscribe so you won't miss any of our content.
E rere kau mai Te Awa Tupua mai te kahui Maunga ki Tangaroa ko au te Awa ko te Awa ko Au. Te awa Tupua flows from the Mountains to the sea I am the river and the river is Me. I am from this river and they are my family 🫶🏽🙏🏼💜🕊🌿
We are the tangatawhenua people of the land we were here before the other Waka from the islands came here. Christians and New Zealanders tried to destroy our culture by arresting our tohonga and cheifs then teaching my people that they have no link to the land, and like them, we came here on Waka.then they forced us to be new Zealanders
I own land that used to belong to the maoris. They will never get it back. I sit back, put my feet up and enjoy every moment of it. It is a great feeling to live on land that used to belong to the maoris knowing that it really pisses them off. They can sing their songs and do their little haka dance thing but it won´t change a thing. They are shit out of luck and will never get the land back.
Awesome...loved every bit of this, I am Pakeha originally from Taumarunui. I too have an affiliation with the ONCE GREAT MIGHTY Whanganui River. We swam in it daily in the summer, picnicked alongside its banks, fished for eels, and skidded the papa rocks. Nearly many times the river took my life due to what was then huge rapids, sadly not today, it's a mere stream in Taumarunui these days. QUESTION... bringing Maori tanga back is all important and I totally back you, but there is so much MORE DNA running through MAORI today. I wish to know that bloodlines from non-indigenous ancestors, that run throughout ALL our veins,.... will be accepted, honored, and respected as well. Please keyboard critics, don't read more into this than a simple but genuine question.
Respect the question here. We've got to remember what that means to accept other bloodlines. Does that mean respecting the culture those bloodlines represent? maybe acknowledging them? A lot of those bloodlines have homes in their respective countries, fully practicing their culture and even speaking their languages. We've got to be able to say that we allow that for Māori. Do we? We can say that we live by our colonial bloodlines and respect them by our social systems, christian public holidays, churches etc. Uplifting Māori culture in it's homeland is all it is, there is no ignoring or denying the other cultures that live here.
@@Camwin so what are you saying....todays political colonial pakeha owes MAORI...again and again. NAH BULLSHIT...WE ARE ONE PEOPLE, and the sooner it's drawn that 'LINE IN THE SAND THE BETTER.'

The Māori raise a lot of interesting questions about what it means to be "native". They were only there a couple of hundred years before white people (300 years at the longest estimates), and there are parts of New Zealand that they never reached that white people settled. It's now been more than 300 years since white people arrived, so it makes you wonder - are white people now native to New Zealand? Not only have they been there longer than the Māori were, but they were also the first in some areas. It's an interesting situation, it's fascinating to see people have such a strong connection to a place they've never been before that their ancestors only recently inhabited. It reminds me of the sacred mountain that was carved up to make Mount Rushmore - it was only sacred for about 20 years, because the Native American tribe that decided it was sacred only just moved to that area. The guy who decided the mountain was sacred was even still alive! I think it shows just how quickly people form an attachment to places, and that we should rethink enshrinement of native people as being prioritised over "non-natives" as the entire situation is very xenophobic and anti-immigration.
@@Bellenickna 100 years before white people first visited, and 300 years before the first colony! It really raises the question of "how long do you need to be there to be native?" and "should people get special rights based on race?" I think we really have to be careful about enshrining racism, and NZ with it's fine line between "native" and "non-native" is a curious case.
You said this on another video with Māori, you are obesesed, im sad for you that you have no real culture or something to be proud about, Māori learn your roots and try get educated and embrace life properly instead of making up myths to suit your twisted narrative, wake up mate, Māori arnt going anywhere, your ancestors tried to wipe us out lost in battle yet here we still remain thriving with the biggest population. Have a beautiful lite brother and do better
Your living on stolen land Its so delusional how you try to justify it it made me laugh how indoctrinated your comment is.. im white English buy the way.. iv traced my family back to the urly 1400s on my land iv have a half Asian son too 😊
The sad thing about the Māori is that some of there culture was lost! From stories from old to young!! And even sadder is that the young generation are making some up as they go along!! You all need to listen to your elders not just come up with things in your own head!!
Traditions evolve, and younger generations have every right to innovate and renew their culture! However, you're absolutely right that passing down knowledge from elders to younger generations is crucial to preserving heritage. There should be a constant dialogue between them!
@@Londonman564 in 1971 there was a movement from Wellington, not from the government but from a group of older Maori who were concerned that the young people didn’t speak there own language so they decided to get a government grant to start up a workshop for those who didn’t know how to speak Maori!!, I know because I was one of the few who had a hand to refine the language system into a specific spread to help the youth to learn the language!!. Most young Samoan New Zealanders who are born in New Zealand have the same problem hence the reason brhind culture class,! And as a Samoan you should hold yourself accountable with the words you chose to use! Not one with the mindset and language of an imbecile, there is a great difference in vocabulary that one can choose to use instead of a four letter word’s that shows your ability not to be creative with any language.. the university of Hawaii can help if you would like to further some type of education to separate yourself from one who knows nothing to one who would like to enlighten one’s self , and maybe just maybe you might be able to learn how to use that wide list of words from a wide range of vocabulary!
