Waitangi Day commemorates the signing of Te Tiriti o Waitangi, and for many Māori it is a day to protest breaches of the treaty, the impact of colonisation on Māori, and to advocate for change.
We look at the history of protest at Waitangi and the role it has played in elevating Māori rights in Aotearoa.

Apirana Ngata also said in that same speech: "let me acknowledge further that in the whole of the world, I doubt whether any native race has been so well treated by a European people as the Maori in New Zealand"
Yeah sure, what's the benchmark. Ripping the Maori economic powerbase from them. Blatant and covert racism. Terrible health and social outcomes shared by colonised indigenous people all over the world. One mans word's don't change FACTS.
and that, is both a great statement, and a sad one at the same time, given the current government's horrendously bad faith efforts. I can tell you this from direct experience, having lived in a country where the native people's were genocided and crushed into little more than a token number of their former selves (the USA).
@@thomasneal9291 are you Native American?
And it begins, Aotearoa / New Zealand is divided: Maori rights supporters vs Non Maori rights supporters across the country. Current government supporting the start of the treaty bill has opened old battle wounds that had been historically forgiven by Māori. This separation is predicted to increase rapidly over the next 3 years.
just remember it is not the fault of Maori as you make this point, but directly the fault of David Seymour and NZ First. I wouldn't even blame Luxon most for this one.
Why is it always the ones with the loudest roughest mouths never have jobs but are first with their hand out?
Mahi Aroha and working for love ..not be Employees to a slave master.
What is the true definition for EMPLOYEES?
I'll tell you my answer..
A SLAVE
It's about no Honour,
Murder ,rape,pillage
Pretty sure only 0.000001% of the population actually protest on waitangi day. The rest just chill.
great way to find out what is hanging out inside your own colon bud.
@@thomasneal9291 lol, ok bud - what you do in your private life is your business. No judgment here lol!
I´m from France. Is there a special day in New zealand where the maoris get together to celebrate and exchange stories about the ram-raids and smash-and-grab robberies of Michael Hill Jewellers stores that they have done over the past 12 months?
Nicely captured the essence of why Māori and non Māori allies protest. To bring about awareness of the theft of Māori land by the crown and its breaches of Te tiriti ✊🏽
What did moari do with the billions of dallors they where given by labour government ?
Spent it on Steinlager and meth.
Who did they give it to?
IWI???
Conflict of interest,
Greedy so called iwi.
Passing the buck between each other.
Forgetting those that truly count.

Waitangi Day is more a day for Maori grievances to be heard, and less about a celebration of NZ. It creates division, not unity, and not pride in our country. I am grateful I get the day off work, but other than that, I wish we had a proper national day of celebration and pride on any other day of the year. I would happily give up my Waitangi Day for an alternative New Zealand day.
Māori protest Day. We should get rid of it.
Is that because you dont want the government to honour the treaty? Or do you have a real reason it should be removed?
@@roimatacooper3415 why have Māori always got their hands out for more money. What rights have I got that you don’t have.
@ppdist why doesn't the crown honour the treaty? Money doesn't compensate for all the illegally confiscated land and the illegal colonisation of Aotearoa.. The treaty isn't about rights.
@@roimatacooper3415 how much do you want? Māori didn’t own the land. You paid nothing for it. You turned up in your canoes and claimed it. You pay no tax on Māori land.
@@roimatacooper3415 What did you do to the Moriori ?
What did Maori get from the Treaty? A civilised life for generations to come! What is that if it is not a win. They judge what they lost by today's yardstick - but what if they had been left as a primitive and canibalistic society? What would that be like?
Immigrant free land 😂 we could final say the visitors went home ❤.
Why are you lying? By the time of treaty there was only a SINGLE iwi who cannibalized others, and they were demonized for it. The rest hadn't for hundreds of years. Does that mean we can call all europeans pedophiles because some objectively are? Your rules.
We know what it would be like alright a free for all with nothing to squabble over 😂😂
The activist place great emphasis upon te tiriti but the English "draft" was the first document. The intent and conditions for the Crown for a treaty with Maori. Maori contend that there is miscommunication when it was translated. Well I don't think so. There is too much evidence that Maori "got it"
Nobody knows what happened but they signed it and was happy to sell there land and people so that's the bottom line. Maori was happy when they signed it they can't still keep changing it when they want.
35 signed the english version, hundreds signed the other. Also, there are records. Writing had been invented a LONG time before that and they wrote they their thoughts. Why are you lying about basic historical records?
Stolen land
😂😂😂 what a joke
Land, sea and foreshore belongs to the creator not Māori not Pakeha or any other ethnicities, we're all tenant's under one landlord and expected to keep the place tidy and get along with our neighbour's, Māori and Pakeha caused the deaths of hundreds of others so they both have no moral ground to stand on.
Ok so how do we move on from here then. Your creator does nothing , and we all suffer the consequences.
@@drinkingup2157 learn to get along with each other and get on with life like many of us have who ain't stuck in the past.
The creator being who?
As long as it's not YOU who are currently being harmed that is, it's fine for you to ignore everyone else. REAL christian values you got there. @@Chronicz120

I expect to see a lot of Palestine flags flying at Waitangi because, 'shared oppression' BS.
Spoken like a true immigrant lmfao 😂
Imagine if hard line Islam had not been pushed back after the crusasdes and instead conquired and made it all the way round the wrold. New Zealand would be a very very different place with a very different life style and culure.
There sure as hell wouldn't be any Maori voices being heard that's for sure.
well now, that's some inane whataboutism writ large. FO.
It became a protest, due to non-Māori (kawanatanga) not honoring the Triti. Its that simple 🤦♂
Agreed. Maori are so oppressed by this colonial occupation they have their own flag, political party, rugby team, soccer league, schools, doctors, $65 BILLION in settlement payments sitting in the bank for, 'the future'... yeah truly suffering.
65 billion wow, that's a whole lot of guilt?!
chur that was a neat but not surprising spit in the face as usual@@himalayan8315
@@secondchance6603 Care to share any proof you have of that $65 Billion in reparations?
After 200 years of protesting and having our people jailed and killed for daring to do so, sure. Which you want to take away from us, along with their sacrifices@@secondchance6603
Toitū te Tiriti!
Maybe time to get rid of it and have New Zealand day. For all New Zealanders?
Just another way of sweeping it under the rug. We are refugees in our own land the treaty should be honoured
All hell would break loose if that was suggested. That would be considered racism. But if it were to be suggested that the name be changed to maori day the maoris would run out in the streets and dance for joy.
Waitangi day is just another day employers have to give free money to their employees, that's all ,and then pay tax on it. FTG
We're all sick of maori bullshit
We have had a guts full of maori bullshit!
