I pray that Maori population together with cousin Polynesian(Samoan, Tongan, Niuean, Cook Island Maori, Fijian and others), Indonesian and Malaysian will increase, today Maori is 18% and Polynesia 8%. by 2050, Maori population reach 31%, and Polynesia 10%. if Maori can assimilated white European, intermarriage and turn them into Maori, just like Malaysian did to Chinese and Indian many of them become Malay by converted to Islam and adopted Malay culture. so Malay in Malaysia almost become minority because British brought India and chinese immigrant, same with Fiji, problem with Indian immigrant, Maori in Australia and worldwide need to return to Aotearoa, BY 2100, with limited British/Anglo, European, Chinese, Indian, Arabs immigrant, and Maori help each other for support, have many children, by 2100 and late 2150, Maori at least become 40%, with Polynesian and Indonesian 20%, Pakeha/White will reduce to 30% and 10% Asian and Africa(Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, Mongolian, Cambodian, Thai, Burmese, Indian, Arab, Pakistani, Iranian, Turkic, and African). Maori cannot be like America Native, Siberia native and Australia Aboriginal, there is no ways Australian aboriginal will become majority or high population minority, same with America Native, Siberia native. Hawaii, America Samoa, Guam, North Mariana Island, New Caledonia, Wallis and Futuna and French Polynesia cannot become independent because French and American wanted as base and weapon testing. Aotearoa need to reclaim back land and culture, i hope by 2050, Maori will become 30-35% of population. not included others Polynesian(Samoan, Tongan, Niuean, Fijian)

Thanks for your comment. It's also worth noting re your point about the range of views amongst settlers, that there was also a range of views amongst the imperialists in Europe. Some wanted more colonies but some most certainly did not and were most reluctant to get involved in New Zealand. It was hotly debated at the time with a complex mix of competing priorities and goals.

Thanks for that. Yep you're exactly right, it's a way to say goodbye: maoridictionary.co.nz/search?idiom=&phrase=&proverb=&loan=&histLoanWords=&keywords=hei+kona For te reo lessons there are heaps of night school or polytech options around NZ and lots of good podcasts too... you can search online.

Lol Hay-ko-na means, hay out in the paddock with the cow's ko means in the field with the crows and na means na im not giving your land back. LoL

Rest assured, we're following common style across mainstream media. not showing disrespect. When we speak of any person before they are honoured we don't give them the honour they earned later. We only use the title after they've earned it. Just as you wouldn't refer to a seven year-old Richie McCaw as 'All Black captain'. When we're talking about Dame Whina Cooper after she was given the title, then we use the title.

That’s karani Whina she is my whanaunga ❤

My family arrived in 1842 on the Duchess of Argyle from Scotland. They bought the land that later became Karagahpe Road. Headstones can be found in the cemetary located near by. Then to Te Awamutu where a street is still named to this day and the headstones in the early cemetary. I've often wondered how that land was aquired or who it was purchased from and how they came into ownership. There will be similar stories like this all over the country.

@@skozlozlaurie712 Te Awamutu wasn't purchased. It was confiscated after the invasion of the Waikato.

Neo conservative ideology are the only racist theme concerning this subject 🙄

@@stephenlennon7369 what ideology do they have then? Ideologically "the crown" is constitutional on behalf of ALL the people regardless of race.

It was in productive use just not in white use!!!

@@lu-uf8zj who said anything about skin color I'm a landowner in multiple blocks all over the country but the majority of the land was unjustly confiscated

@@aperaruapeeta4309 I heard they just put waste land to productive use. Land owned by Iwi on behalf of all the tribe then became crown land owned on behalf of all the nation rather than exclusive property of an Iwi corporation.

Saying Maori owned all the land is misleadin. Those massacred, or put into slavery and had their land stolen didn’t own any land. How was there “ownership”? Weren’t Maori just caretakers one with the land? You mentioned how Maori suffered because of bush felling. Maori themselves had burned off 6 Million hectares of bush before Europeans arrived. Your show is really not history, its standpoint epistemology, ideologically driven, praxis, activism, revisionism, white washing.

Obviously that’s not what I’m saying there Karen. I didn’t say the British didn't do anything wrong. It’s 2022 and apparently it’s ok to overlook the trauma caused by Maori to other Maori to this day. Not to mention the entrenched racism towards “white padding” Maori by other Maori. Today most Maori are also European or a mix of other ethnicities. People choose which part of their heritage they promote and usually these days its the Maori side that they focus on. Why is that? Some are the same people that will calm blood quantum's are racist. 70 odd % of “Maori” have no connection to or involvement with Tikanga Maori. Maybe we could talk about "privilege"? Maybe we could talk about Critical Theory that is Race Marxism and Critical Social Justice? As for Canada. Check the homicide rate in first nations communities, its 6 times higher than other communities. That’s because of the British? Here in NZ Maori women face the highest rates of DV, that’s all because of the British? The theory of inter generational trauma, as in, at a cellular level, has been debunked as pseudoscience. Race Marxists make bad historians.

Whites still played natives against each other and waited for them to be weak to impose their will. And imposed their will in others. The same story world over.

@@MrSicc274Maori did the same to each other as can happen with any people of any colour the world over.

@@MrSicc274All people the world over play each other in one way another. You say they waited for weakness to impose there will, though in 1867 Maori Parliamentary seats were established and Maori Politicians entered Government. With this all Maori men got the vote, 12 years before European men and women.

Um no it's not it was a name that kupe wife that first Polynesian navigator to come to NZ gave the land we now consider as Aotearoa

Kaore, “Nova Zealandia” is the Dutch name given to the continent AFTER Europeans first visit to the continent. “Āotearoa” is the name given from The Pacific Navigator Kupes wife Hine Te Aparangi. She named it after the long white cloud she saw over the horizon. Check your history.
