Māori: over 169 years of struggle against British & NZ imperialist aggression

Music? "Once Were Warriors Soundtrack"

This vid is not promoting racism-at all. It's based on indigenous struggle, colonization, the Treaty, and so fourth. It could have been the Zapatistas in Mexico or the aboriginals in Austrialia. Struggle is a universal concept.

'The Treaty of Waitangi [the "english" version]

PREAMBLE

Her Majesty, Victoria, Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, regarding with Her Royal Favour the Native Chiefs and Tribes of New Zealand, and anxious to protect their just Rights and Property, and to secure to them the enjoyment of Peace and Good Order, has deemed it necessary, in consequence of the great number of Her Majesty's Subjects who have already settled in New Zealand, and the rapid extension of Emigration both from Europe and Australia which is still in progress, to constitute and appoint a functionary properly authorised to treat with the Aborigines of New Zealand for the recognition of Her Majesty's Sovereign authority over the whole or any part of these islands. Her Majesty therefore being desirous to establish a settled form of Civil Government with a view to avert the evil consequences which must result from the absence of the necessary Laws and Institutions alike to the native population and to Her subjects has been graciously pleased to empower and to authorise me William Hobson, a Captain in Her Majesty's Royal Navy, Consul, and Lieutenant-Governor of such parts of New Zealand as may be or hereafter shall be ceded to Her Majesty, to invite the confederated and independent Chiefs of New Zealand to concur in the following Articles and Conditions.

ARTICLE THE FIRST

The chiefs of the Confederation of the United Tribes of New Zealand and the separate and independent Chiefs who have not become members of the Confederation, cede to Her Majesty the Queen of England, absolutely and without reservation, all the rights and powers of Sovereignty which the said Confederation or Individual Chiefs respectively exercise or possess, or may be supposed to exercise or to possess over their respective Territories as the sole Sovereigns thereof.

ARTICLE THE SECOND

Her Majesty the Queen of England confirms and guarantees to the Chiefs and Tribes of New Zealand and to the respective families and individuals thereof, the full exclusive and undisturbed possession of their Lands and Estates, Forest, Fisheries, and other properties which they may collectively or individually possess, so long as it is their wish and desire to maintain the same in their possession; but the Chiefs of the United Tribes and the Individual Chiefs yield to Her Majesty the exclusive right of Pre-emption over such lands as the proprietors thereof may be disposed to alienate, at such prices as may be agreed upon between the respective Proprietors and persons appointed by Her Majesty to treat with them in that behalf.

ARTICLE THE THIRD

In consideration thereof, Her Majesty the Queen of England extends to the Natives of New Zealand Her royal protection and imparts to them all the Rights and Privileges of British Subjects.

W Hobson, Lieutenant-Governor

Now therefore, We the Chiefs of the Confederation of the United Tribes of New Zealand being assembled in Congress at Victoria, in Waitangi and We the Separate and Independent Chiefs of New Zealand claiming authority over the Tribes and Territories which are specified after our respective names, having been made fully to understand the Provisions of the foregoing Treaty, accept and enter into the same in the full spirit and meaning thereof in witness of which, we have attached our signatures or marks at the places and the dates respectively specified.

Done at Waitangi, this Sixth day of February in the year of Our Lord, one thousand eight hundred and forty.'

[akira543]

Let's get this straight... Maori are Tangata Whenua. No two ways about it. Our culture was established on this land and we were certainly here before the British!

[akira543]

@SpetnazKiwi ... sadly it does not look like that's going to happen anytime soon.

[akira543]

@SpetnazKiwi "there was a race before you cunts and you ate them and took their land" Who are you referring to exactly? If you are talking about the Moriori, current research indicates they were Maori Polynesians who arrived from the mainland (NZ) so technically... my Maori ancestors cannibalized themselves lol. LOL Vikings, do you have substantiated evidence to back that up? I'm sure we'll thank you in time just as soon as we all learn to stop the taunts and racial abuse...

[MrZzr12]

TORCH THE TREATY, the average Maori will never be any better off. The Maori leaders at the top will cream it just the same as scumbag whiteys currently do.

[LibertTarian]

@SpetnazKiwi LOL. You Ignoramus.

[SpetnazKiwi]

no you maori's would never have stood a chance and you aren't indiginous becouse there was a race before you cunts and you ate them and took their land but also the vikings where actualy here before them in 1100AD so tecnicaly it is white mans land anyway also the ony reason you dicks are still allive is because we brought medicine and saved you faggots from dieing out so you should be thanking us next time you see a white man + you are part whit too so fuck up!!!
