@@M0nkeeYZ you're racist against Maori for not writing in te reo.

A lot of people were whipped for speaking maori including white kids because it was specifically enforced by all in charge including maori chiefs. My grandfather was born in NZ in 1920 and was fluent in maori in taranaki and was taught by maori in the area and not at school and over time there was just an attitude from a lot of part maori that they actually couldnt be bothered. When i went to school in the 90s i wanted to learn because i knew of many people who spoke the language but i was quickly stomped down by maori telling me im a try hard while they also chose not to attend the class and put other people off. If you dont start to understand that the general population didnt make the rules and it wasnt about "the white man" you'll start to see the reality that maori didnt want their language in other cultural environments, its too negative and just like now white people are not welcomed into maori cultural areas and are very criticised. Ive been asked id im maori becayse my pronunciation is good but the reality is my family have been here 5 generations and where they were no language was being oppressed. If people wanted maori spoken in schools it was only a matter of time that also white people would be speaking it but a lot of tribes for a long time have had the attitude that the culture should be excluded from white people and this was respected and when someone who is white knows this and has experienced this they keep their kids away from it to protect them from the reality of this behaviour. Even now maori people say they do not want a white person teaching the maori language and i couldnt get an english scholarship because im not maori but part maori apparently can do whatever they want with the english language, white cultures such as having a maori rugby team when its not culturally maori, soccer team and manipulating schools which were culturally british. There is no maori versions of indian cultural activities or others, its just the scottish,irish and english cultural activities being trashed on for no reason other than idiots see it as white and are just raised to hate their own families and friends. No white people are interferring with maraes, making english or irish kapahaka groups and creating an environment where they have no culture. The reality is a lot maori met a lot of other people through a common language and it was english and even those white people didnt just speak english, they were irish and scottish and polish etc and its only maori who are calling their families white, trashing on their own white families traditions and being totally ignorant about them and making everything about race rather than what the reality is and its that the english culture succeeded through actually openly allowing people to own the culture through families including all of the families into their fold including people not descended of england such as irish and scottish. And the ones that were maori and trashing on white people every 5 minutes and trying to force a culture, imprinting themselves on another culture and excluding their white children and partners and blaming them for things they werent a part of had a lot of british maori, scottish maori and irish maori leave this culture by choice. What id be asking is how so much money has been passed on to some maori in the forms of millions yet no independent shops, jobs and culturally maori activities are seen more regularly and positively in the general public yet it seems to be all spent on still obsessing over and trashing on white people for an income and part maori families who have been raised in neutral families and poor families who have just wanted to live their lives peacefully apparently have been "suffering" so that millions of dollars can be taken from mixed race families from people that have more money, power and influence than any regular nz family.

Yep, there were a couple of small areas called Aotearoa east of Otorohanga and east of Te Kuiti, then it gradually got used just for the North Island and then filtered into referring to all of New Zealand. The treaty was signed as Nu Tireni, not Aotearoa. You couldn't even find it in a Maori dictionary in the 1800s.

Aotearoa is a reference of the first navigator to find this land. 850-1000ad. We on the East coast call it Te Ika a Maui.

Wrong Aotearoa was very much a traditional name for the north island dating back over a 1000 years.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 where are you from? Oh wait wrong question are you white?

@devious1 Yep he hung around the Waikato mid-1800s but I can't find a reference to ALL of New Zealand being called Aotearoa. Charles wrote a few publications one was called Ko Aotearoa. But an earlier Maori dictionary allegedly never has the word. I still don't believe the entire NZ was called that. North Island maybe but not all of NZ. Notice I can write NZ and many people know what I mean. Changing it to Ao is gonna suck. TBH

the government MAKES you use te reo, accept modern very controversial interpretation of treaty of waitangi, to get government funding, this is not by popular demand, 64% want NZ called New Zealand only, Aotearoa is also the land of the long cloud, the land of the long white cloud is from a Tennyson poem, Maa is the word for white and appears nowhere in the word

NZ do have maori stations but as you probably know minorities like to force their ideals onto the rest of us.

I think the issue is that English can easily displace minority languages. I have British parents but was born in Germany and lived the first 9 years of my life in Germany before moving to the UK. I am natively a speaker of both languages and people often comment that when I speak German I have no hint of an English accent and when I speak English I have no hint of a German accent (although I did until I was 16). When I'm in Germany people often comment to me that they are annoyed by the amount of advertising that makes use of English because most young Germans are comfortable with it. English will never displace German in Germany and Austria because German is a "big" language. Even so, America came close to having German as its main language but English destroyed the idea. What chance do small languages have against it?

@@peterd788 there has never been an effort in New Zealand to do away with the Maori language. In fact,quite the opposite.

One would expect more Maori youth to be in employment because the rest not just Pakeha are enrolled in universities and other learning institutions during the ages 15-24 and this would account for a larger number in trades as there are very few Maori in the professions. I am sorry I dont accept that Maori are the most entrepreneurial race on the planet as there is no evidence and Maori are such a small population. Maori women might show a 50% increase in graduates because they started from such a low base And if you want some more statistics Maori top the numbers in the number of people involved in violent crime,drugs and represent 70% of the prison population. Maoris smoke more meths and nicotine and 40% Maori women smoke.Most cases of fetal alcohol syndrome occur in Maori children and the abuse and death of young children is far greater in Maori families. Maoris have the highest rate of suicide,the lowest vaccination rate for their children. Highest number on benefits. I dont think Maoris over 50 have same wealth for the reason the stats lie as Maoris die must younger than Europeans. This all sounds like Maori bashing but Maoris need to do more to help themselves and stop blaming it all on colonization

So do you expect people to speak English when you travel?

great; bastardise languages just like you lefties bastardise the population.

+Lol same I don't watch any News unless it's like this and amusing lol..new Zealand attitude is something else nowadays

The TV news media is biased towards the left and is often propaganda. Same everywhere in the western world and a chunk of Europe. Need to do the research and see who owns the media corporations and you will find it is the same small group of grey shadows. I have not watched this source of news now for 17 years. I much prefer unbiased news on the internet, where we can make up our own minds based on the evidence, rather than being brain washed with lies & deceit.

Stay in your lane then

And that is great Lorna, and many young ones are doing some variation of that, now. However it should remain a choice over and above a prioritized, English based curriculum. English is the language of the world and our grandchildren need to be empowered to communicate across the world.

What about how English was shoved in the faces of Māori when British people colonised NZ? So much so that it's now the dominantly-spoken language here? A little bit of Te Reo sprinkled into the weather report is nothing compared to how Western culture was forced onto Māori and their language was systematically attacked.

@@breef2531 what aboutism. Quit living in the past

@@TT-jy2db this isn't just "living in the past." Discrimination against Māori and other POC is still very much present today, as a result of that colonisation, which includes white people attacking Māori just for speaking their own language.

I second that who knows I might gather up the Aboriginals and see about starting them a Treaty..who knows make use all bow down to the people of the land the rightful ones💯

The aboriginals of both countries lost to the British, it's conquest, what do you expect? AUS and NZ are Anglophone countries plain and simple. Imagine the immigrants that lefties love to pander to that spent years learning English only for the news to be in a completely foreign and dare I say it, archaic language.

No matter what the % of the Indiginous people. Being a descendent of the Khoi & San people in South Africa we the indigenous people are all 1st nation people in the world.

We the 1st nation people were brutally murdered and oppressed over hundreds of years as there were no human rights at all. All I said is - we want our land back and with it our language being reinstated. So yes, Australia, South Africa, The Americas, Canada and the rest of the world where 1st nations are to be found language and land will always remain an issue till it's been delt with.

in what way is anyone forcing you to do anything? you hate being forced to hear other languages? well boooo hoooo

Agreed.

Yeah..

How long have you lived in NZ? Im a fifth generation NZer, our ancestor was the architect for the auckland museum and were scottish ancestors that taught English and were fluent in maori, we literally have maori names gifted to the children because they loved them, it was maori that quite often didn't want white people speaking their language. The thing is no one thought the language was dying in the first place except for a few extremists using it to get money from our government/ NZers and spewing this hate everywhere, I heard people speaking maori all the time, it wasnt weird to hear maori choosing to speak it and it wasn't weird when they didn't, we didn't bat an eyelid, it was never weird, abnormal or hidden or dying, my grandfather spoke maori who is white, half of my cousins are part maori, they look white, they get racially abused with "pakeha" because of people being so ignorant and encouraging all this hate towards white NZers who have been here for generations, its the lies and BS that has come out over the past 40 years, policies that have separated our races in education, healthcare and treating people in the same families differently. Just 30 years ago my cousin wasn't considered "maori enough" for this race based help and his mother was maori and his white father needed help after she passed away as he wasnt well off and extremely sad after his wife passed. If we got help based off need and people stopped talking about our races, cultures and languages and bad mouthing our ancestors this would be best for us. The race stuff that has come out of our govts has created issues for mixed families that don't hate on their ancestors in poor communities, we were already poor, but pretty happy culturally and a whole lot of people starting using our communities and making assumptions that we can't care for ourselves, our cultures are oppressed when they werent and it's been condescending and disgusting ever since to all us. We aren't idiots, we just needed our personal lives to be left alone, not to be turned into a spectator sport. The maori language and English language are both beautiful but you have to respect those who speak English on the channels that are there to communicate with them just as much as their channels are.

@@elizabethbradley4301 thankyou for your perceptive observations - what you have written is a powerful personal testimony to the beauty of the natural way we are all meant to be - living in harmony and friendship as one human family, unaffected by prejudice about race and culture

Unfortunately Te Reo has fallen victim to woke identity and culture wars. Radicalism is using Te Reo to divide us which should not be the case. I was happy to use Te Reo until the radicals spill their agenda of tyranny and hatred. Their is no tolerance of diversity unless you are Maori, transgender or gay. Being woke comes first and everyone else must bow down to the great derangement of our times

@@morganlefey 🤣🤣🤣

@@morganlefey From this point on, your Te Reo name will be Morgana Le Fea Fea! PWAHA!

No NZ is a bilingual country that the government didn’t uphold in the indoctrination of our schools ( also sign language official language)

Except english is not legally recognised, its not the official language. Māori and ASL are the official languages of NZ, so why not embrace Te reo Māori.

@@youandme4610 because that's going even more xenophobic than usual? Let's all speak a language the rest of the world has no clue about and is only used by 3% of the population on a regular basis? (Last I saw- it could be more now) When will Mandarin and Hindi be introduced then? Because those are two demographics that are going to outgrow any other in NZ in the near future? This makes little sense to me, you have Chinese channels on Freeview, you have some Indian ones now, you have the Te Reo and Maori channels, and the second language for all of these groups to communicate is??? All this talk about inclusion, equity and all that, and yet the other (currently) minority groups that live in NZ? What's being done for them? Nothing, they are being lumped in with the Europeans, despite having very different requirements in some instances, cultural and otherwise.

F@#k Australia that place sucks arse

if te reo maori is promoted then everyone will understand both english and te reo maori

@@eeeaten wtf just because it's promoted doesn't mean people are taught or understand it to learn a language you'd have to actually take classes, that is the literal argument here, nobody understands what the reporters are saying on what is supposed to be a formal delivering of the news, and by using different languages when people don't know it that's not what it becomes. It's like how the government changed the name of the New Zealand Transport Agency to 'Waka Kotahi' When you are naming a literal government agency it has to be in the primary language that everyone speaks and understands, it's informal and a disgrace. I had to tell people what it meant beause they didn't know what it was about, they couldn't really understand the reports regarding road closures because they didn't know what Waka Kotahi meant therefore not really knowing the subject of the matter.

There won't be referendum on the name. The people might vote "wrong" and Jacinda won't allow that. If you watch the woke news, they have already changed the name anyway.

@@markhoffman9655 😆

Just read your post. You are correct if it was put to the people with a referendum today the result would be overwhelmingly for no change. But the government knows this and that is why the name change is being introduced by stealth. At the moment both names are being used together but gradually the NZ name will be dropped and we have already seen this happening on Radio NZ. Aotearoa will become accepted this way and then in a few years time people will be asked if they approve of an official name change. The Ardern government needs to go but the National party is also acutely aware of the value of the small Maori vote. MMP has brought changes to the way the will of the majority can be skewed in favor of a small minority
