Thank you so much for making this show! I can’t believe how much of this was left out of my school lessons. Do you have any recommendations of books to learn more? Particularly about what’s covered in episodes 5&6?
Agree that that was terrible, but after the NZ Wars a petition from Maori leaders asked that Maori children be taught only in English. So even some Maori at that time thought that speaking English was crucial for their children's advancement.
@@paulbeach8181 True. They also sent their kids into cities as soon as they could. But this was all because of the "gearing" of the National oppression from the Pakeha legal system. They saw clearly! They will be bigger than we are. We can't stop it. Either we keep very low profiles...or we adapt. Our families each made the best decision they could at the time.
my koro (grand dad) was a ratana priest. in the 60s, his farm land was "acquired" by the crown, who already had land in the vicinity, and covered with sewage.
The same kind of cultural genocide was performed by Japanese and Nationalist Chinese colonials to the local Austronesian speaking Aboriginals, such as the Atayal, Thao, Tsou, Paiwan, Rukai to name a few, and early Han immigrants who spoke Taigi and Hakka. Now all of these languages are either endangered or projected to die before 2069. There are minimal and superficial efforts made by the government to revive these native languages. Despite all being proclaimed to enjoy national language status, none of them are allowed in an official capacity when it comes to business, law, education, or anything. It is amazing how the Maori and New Zealand overcame these past tragedies and now the Iwi seem to have a much higher level of autonomy. I hope Taiwan and at least progress to where New Zealand is today, and that the precious cultures of my island can be saved from being lost to colonization.
Very beautifully presented by the gorgeous leigh 😍 , keep it up guys. William kia kaha I notice when you cringe @ the undesirable parts of our history, and I applaud your unwavering charisma so the younger viewers can follow positively regardless, as we know that is very important.
Ka aroha, (condolences to your ancestors). Although maori have achieved much to date, they haven’t quite overcome everything, including the colonial mindset that still exists in our society. I have faith that we can work through this together one and I do understand with all due respect, that other indigenous nations are beginning to follow our lead. Hopefully, their governments will see the devastation of their however, the only thing (in my humble opinion) that has saved maori from complete extinction, is our founding document which other nations do not have. I raro i te manaakitanga o te runga rawa, paimarire
So nothing has changed then. We’re producing more food than ever but still pay some of the highest prices in the world. We got a socialist government and are still suffering from their policies today. Our economy is still a low wage high cost system with abysmal productivity problems. Our social security is a huge anchor that prevents us from building infrastructure. Poor infrastructure further exacerbates the high cost of living.
Sir Apirana Ngata of Ngati Porou decent achieved huge gains for Māori in his 40 years in Government, but was heart broken when he finally lost his seat.

This series is excellent. A thorough and objective view of NZ's history
Beaten for speaking your own language? jesus what a bunch of pricks. Those kids would've been traumatised

Yes, and those children became our grandparents and great grandparents.

Where abouts? You might be able to get it back.
Thanks, I liked this episode.
Well Covid has shown us that with Bio Diversity we could survive without relying on exports

funny little schoolwork
I might have guessed women would have it worse. So why didn't they just volunteer to dig ditches, that way they would have had it as easy as the men.
Labor has been the downfall of New Zealand It created social dependency.
Terrible I hate new Zealand history
