On the nail Veronica!!! Our people need to understand everything you outlined!! Well done team, we'll done. Keep it up!! Never stop!! Those people have no integrity or collaborative actions towards any "first settler/indigenous" peoples. It's all about how "they" can benefit!! Not us!!
Pai mutanga korereo, so glad there are some big brains on you tube to counter all the racist old pakeha nonsense. These are dangerous times. We know the evidence is there. But we need to find a way to share it so people know the truth. Native Schools Act - so destructive - suppressed our language and caused a generation to lose the reo.
Aloha kākou, Excellent breakdown, yes education of TRUE history is key. This is so informational, mahalo. Love this‼️ Kū'ē to colonizers / white supremacy 💯 Me ke Aloha 💜
There are those among us who are working hard within the realms of Te Tiriti and He Whakaputanga working alongside the crown. Now is their time to stand up.
Veronica is so right about the extermination agenda. One only has to read the newspapers from back then to see that what was being argued in parliament was the general thinking of the day. A quote for instance from the North Otago Times: “…unless some way can be found of reducing the rebels to submission, we see no alternative but a gradual drifting into a war of races, which means the practical outlawing of the bulk of the Maori race, and the shooting down of the brown man wherever he shows his face, as was the case in various parts of America, and is now the case in Northern Australia … it would be the more humane course on the part of the Government to do their utmost to strike a series of blows sufficiently decisive to convince the Native race of the hopeless nature of the struggle, and thus induce their submission.” North Otago Times, Volume XI, Issue 351, 2 October 1868, Page 3 Further from a Taranaki newspaper editor: "...perhaps all things considered, the present difficulty will be one of the greatest blessings ever NZ experienced, for without doubt it will be a war of extermination … the time has come in our minds when NZ must strike for freedom, and this means the death-blow to the Maori race" For similar quotes of that era a revealing read is Angela Ballara's 'Proud to be White?'. It was written in the '80s.
Dovetail..... I hope you appreciate that these comments represent the views of the author, and the first comment relates to the sentiment of a few back in 1868. Can we really relate this to today? I'm just as shocked as you to read these excerpts.
The Treaty was an agreement to allow Pakeha to settle from the Maori point if 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.
As they say "De nile is not a river in Egypt". Facing our history is painful, challenging and has to be done if there is any hope of living together in partnership. Loved your presentation and informed perspective. I know it's not something my own family, like many pakeha, wants to face and so we have to keep conscientising anyone who will listen. Kia kaha Veronica.
Same comment I made on the video of 1st Reading on WhangareiTim's channel: 'Make no mistake, this DIVISIVE 'equal rights' 'spin' is Hitler-worthy... I am praying that AROHA will prevail ✨💕✨
I wish Hitler never existed. I appreciate your comment, but I'm saddened by another reference back to that b.....stard. So many are referring back to bolster their opinions. Opinions should stand on their own without referring back to such a dark time in human history.
Im an American citizen but have lived here for 20 years. I'm concerned for the world turning....and how it relates to the world... not just the States. I'm an American Indian. Help me understand.
Nga Mihi Veronica. Here is what I think needs to happen, which will be vital I believe for any future event of having to either varify or quote Te Tiriti without misinterpreting it one persons version from the other. I truely believe that all oral accounts of Te Tiriti must be presented in exactly the same word for word manner from each qualified presenter of it....other wise personal versions begin to sneak in and therefore could alter it's mana wairua. Should hui on this matter!
Remember that you can only listen to one voice at a time. If you were to listen to all NZers then you may hear a totally different story. I listened to the Doctor's full commentary, and was with her until the last 10 minutes, when the education stopped and the insinuation started. I hate the use of 'they'. It's used to stereotype us both.
All this talk, will this get the whanau in Tokomaru Bay's land back. Total theft by Crown/Government. They need to give it back. If it was a Maori doing that they'd be convicted and thrown in Jail. Racism at it's worse. People like this need to go back to where their Ancestors are from. Equal rights for all what a Joke where's the equal rights here?

Quite a history about the Maori - put the Inca's or the Aztecs to shame in degeneration. Outcast from the Cook Islands during the 13th century as weaker primitive Neolithic people by later waves of Polynesians (Maori were from the original wave of primitive Polynesians pushed right out across the Eastern Pacific by successive stronger more advanced groups arriving from the west). They were outcast on rafts and some floated to the North East Coast of NZ driven by the South Equatorial Current and were stranded for 500 years. The weaker were pushed down to the South Island or Chathams etc. So the South Island Maori (had their own language) were the weakest of the weak. They were captured and eaten as 'Slave flesh' by the northern Maori doing raids. (Well they all ate each other - 80% of Maori pre European were dark skinned easily fattened slaves farmed and eaten by a lighter skinned 'Ariki' thin wiry elite royal caste). So it was with some righteousness as well as British cunning that they armed the southern Maori who then with muskets launched a genocidal war on the north.. That plus measles & flu halved the Maori population and removed most of the elite. The British then liberated the slaves and outlawed cannibalism. The northern Maori fought with the British against the south bad west Maori 'rebels'. The Maori sued for peace and a treaty was signed that removed all sovereignty and made them subjects to the English crown where the English would protect them from each other. Land could only be sold to or via the Crown. Maori could live on their reservations with native custom but none did. The treaty of Waitangi is strikingly clear in that the Maori cede sovereignty completely and become citizens of Great Britain - all 3 clauses lock that in. Nothing in today's 'Maori' culture is authentic. The music - all European (Maoris did not have tonal music, the songs are missionary tunes or introduced - Poi dance is from Islands and Stick dance from old Malaya. The carvings and art - all European - Arabesques that was the fashion at the time. Original Maori had limited dash carving and no painting of objects. No written language - all the syntax & grammar plus vowel inflection is European. No technology - some lagoon canoes and wood or stone Neolithic tools. No food sources - like pigs or crops - they left that all behind, all they had was a weak inbred fox (now extinct), some rats and a weak dismal pacific yam. They ate out all the bird-life including 10 species of Moa and 46 other bird species, didn't know how to farm the sea as were island people and so they turned to societal cannibalism. Today - no full blood or half blood left. No genuine tradition and almost all are offspring of Maori slave females sold to white settlers for muskets or food. -So more fake than the 'Sioux' or 'Cherokee' or 'Crow' who had at least retained some genuineness about who they were and their history. -Everything you 'saw or experienced' is fake. A totally convected disneyfied tokenistic set of inventions fueled by a grievance culture of mixed-race imposters fetishing a false past bad history because it pays benefits.
