March on Waitangi, 2007

At about midday on February 6th, 2007 around two thousand Maori and their Tauiwi allies (very few) marched on the Te Tii Marae on the Waitangi Treaty Grounds. Apologies for water on the lens, shaky hands (blame the wind and rain) and the frame dropping (blame my computer). And check out the Aotearoa Independent Media Centre! www.indymedia.org.nz

Tena ra koe e te Rangatira.

You know what it is like to be a minority in your own country and pushed to the side and forgotten. You have to put your hand up and fight for your rights. If you surrender then what are you? we will not be slaves!!!

just be thankful you have the option tolive in a series o first world countries. But no, you forget that fact and go on about some bullshit from 200 years ago. Get over yourself - Maoris get a good deal yet they wont stop taking taking taking. Its about time a land claim got throuwn back at the maori and a bill given back for 1) Speaking an international language, 2) living in a first world country 3) good education and health.
