WHY ISN'T THIS PLAYED ON NEW ZEALAND TV ON THE 6TH FEB ANNUALLY?

man this is supposed to be my assignment homework but I am actually quite enjoying this

My ancestor Wiremu Karaweko of Ngai Tahu signed the treaty of Waitangi, thanks for uploading this. Not enough New Zealanders these days are familiar with the treaty. So I tend to appreciate just about any documentary that addresses the history of the subject.

What Hone Heke said "how kind he invites me to a meeting in my own land" hurt me, knowing that the land that was once Māori is now owned by tauiwi. How sad. What tauiwi don't understand about Māori is that we Māori don't own land we belong to it, yet you act as if land is a piece of paper and scribble all over it. ~Hurt tangata whenua.

found part 7 and came here to start from the top. Thank you for making this !

This is very helpful for my social studies homework, thanks bro!

I read Kelvin Davis's opinion piece today on Stuff on Waitangi, it was a great article I thought, it made me feel valued as white/european and it made me want to learn Te Reo. I have alot more to learn 😊✌️ awesome article Kelvin, the bridge analogy was/is poignant. 👍✌️

Really sick documentary. Congratulations!!

I have just visited Waitangi. Go there, fantastic.

totalJK thank you for my social studies

thank you really much because this is my homework today thank you so much thanks again

This is great! :)

Why start at 1839? Hobson was a veteran of the Napoleon wars, settled in Port Phillip (later Melbourne), his friend Busby asks for help and to send a report on NZ to England. Australia's role in the European founding of NZ should not be ignored.

Just in case people are wondering why there's an American flag on Heke's boat? Heke had connections with the American consul who were encouraging Maori to rebel against the British by selling them guns, although the U.S were just as bad and would have done a Hawaii on Maori so luckily contracts were signed with the British declaring our independent nation!! Make sure you write this down in your history books because the doco above does not show this part.

thank god for whitangi day. I love that extra day off so we can take advantage of the whitangi day huge sales.

this is so helpful

Helpful documentary

You dont draft a treaty till after declaring war.Yet war was never officially declared.

Wow this is very cool.

How do you call these illustrations presenting characters ?

Kia ora my bros

im just 8 years old and i love this

@koolgeeh Tautoko :) Its a difficult issue to talk about let alone understand. I just enjoy the series!

I have much respect for Maori and even had one give me pounamu which I will wear for the rest of my life. But geez they can get angry haha. Respect from Sydney, oz.

My ancestor Henry Williams done a correct Maori translation and later on got fired from the church missionary society for standing up for Maori rights

Happy Waitangi Day 2019, should be playing in the cinemas free all through New Zealand.

This is what happened..Missionary Henry Williams and his son Edward, both of European descent were given the task of drafting the treaty, because they knew the Māori language. But my question? Did they understand Maori?? Did they understand the infinitive dimension of Maori language, Example: the word MAURI is dimensional , does not have a single definition. Therefore, Why should there have been two NON-MAORI, be given the right to translate for Maori! e.g. "It's like a Hindu trying to teach the HAKA to Maori"

shots for the social studies g

why does one boat have the american flag

Can anyone give some historical information; why was there an American Flag in the boat of Hone Heke? Thanks

Oh! I think this will be useful for my project. Now I would like to know your opinion about the Treaty if possible, of course. For example, do you think that if the Treaty hadn't been signed, things would have been different in New Zealand? (no offences are intended) You can say whatever you like. Greetings from Spain! ;-)

Why was there an American flag on the te waka at the start when Hone is on the beach with his wife?

i honour the treaty every day on a personal level there is only one god one planet and one people we are all thesame but a little bit different

-strangers- roses are red some flowers are blue waitangi is special what do u think of too?

that stuff is really cool amd nice

Don't forget France had purchased 40,000 acres in northland and were making plans to claim and colonise NZ in 1835. The Maori were well aware of this ... some see benefits for trade. NSW (ie Australia) was also aware, it's another reason Hobson leaves to make a report on NZ. Another factor was the musket wars and lack of police/military made Europeans feel unsafe. NZ was considered "the lawless" colony ... probably due to it's association with Australia. Everyone in NZ at this time (only about 2000 Europeans) was from Australia... petty crims that had done their time or were on a ticket of leave ... they were the whalers and sealers.

What am I missing, If I have no idea what I am talking about please educate me on what I don't know.

@tallica1 yo bro. Um we are New Zealanders too bro. We were here before the English. We were here. We are New Zealanders. You see its people like you that makes peace nd understanding unable between us Maori nd everyone else on this great country. There must be unity. Nd guess what mate. I'm thirteen. If young generations can wish for peace nd such why can the older generation not see peace.

Those that call the Treaty the 'Cheaty' do a real disservice to their own forebears. These chiefs were no fools, and the wiser heads among them released a good deal when they saw one. Whether one side or the other reneged on the deal, or whether social forces were just too great to keep the ideals of the Treaty in place is quite another matter. respect the Treaty and those that signed it, and their intentions. As they say 'Honour the Treaty' [and part of that honouring is to understand what it actually meant at the time to the parties concerned... not re-interpreting it].

Very colourful way of expressing the treaty

Call it the cheaty of Waitangi-No wonder the waters cry.

Who's watching on Waitangi Day 2019?

Had hoped to learn something here, anyone else doing so I suggest to look elsewhere

This really helps with my social studies work LOL😂😂

Hello my epic fellow new zealanders

@whitisrite..downsyndrom people are wonderful people just like us all, maori also is such a beautiful race, they have similar looks to all pacificans..not to mention very talented actors in the Hollywood movies. woman and men are stunning..all races are beautiful in many ways..even white people..we can't change what happend in the past but I know times changed since then..our Maori people are awakening. :-)

Excuse my ignorance but why is in American flag on the back of the canoe with honey Hickey at the beginning

guys, is this a documentary? or mockumentary? (i don't think so) what is the genre?

Isnt that called auckland anniversary?

Can someone just give me a summary of this video?

Americans were present in New Zealand for some time. They expressed an interest in claiming New Zealand as a state nation.

Someone probably should have looked into the subtitles - they are so off

the dude that plays Hone Heke, is he that guy, Mo on shortland street...his real name is Jarod Rawiri? Is that him? kinda looks like him

Henry Snowden gave Pokai Hone Heke the muskets after he traded the treasures and gold he received when visited King George the 4th and then married his daughter Erana Reupene after teaching Hone Heke how to read and write English and Hone then starter then musket wars.

It mentions nothing (or very little) of Wakefield's entrepreneurial scheme of systematic immigration of settlers (January 1840) on behalf of the NZ Company who under Wakefield were in parallel rivalry with British Crown ; while negotiating land purchases between various Maori tribes for the attainment and purpose of selling land on for A profit' within the Wellington region.

1:47 LOOK AT THE SUBTITLES

William Colenso! :D My Ancestor.

and thank you

Who the hell did the sub titles?? Bloody hell

Tonga. One of the only nations in the Pacific to never been govern or ruled by any foreign powers. To

Lets ignore the 6 ships of the 1836 US exploration fleet anchored in the harbour at the time.

Why has Hone's waka has an American flag?

This was played in my school

I like the fluency of Maori have in this video :) you don't really get much of that these days..

the translation on here needs to be rectified!? Where the heck is Kirikiri!

Kaimanawa Wall New Zealand stand by your wall - look further back so we can move forward with our full history of truth

Te Tiriti o Waitangi is just an amendment to the 1835 Declaration of Independence of NZ (DOI), where does it say in those 2 documents, that Māori gave the NZ parliament the right to create courts in NZ? DOI Article 3, "they will not permit any legislative authority separate from themselves....to exist...unless by persons 'Appointed by them in Congress Assembled'.

Coming form someone who argues conquest makes the land theirs. Please, dont forget to keep the "Might makes Right" philosophy in mind in future as you find yourself more and more subjugated. And dont forget to be dignified, remember, we'll be watching to see an example of how we were spos to act ;)

Who is here cause of school but got bored of the vid so they just browsing the comment section?

Most of the Euro's in NZ were USA at the time, was described as the brothel of the pacific by one American )Wailers)

How come there's nothing here about Wakefield and the New Zealand company. Wakefield and his associates were in the background planning their business ventures.

Don't let the facts get in the way of a good story. its a pity people who comment on the early history of New Zealand rarely get it right, as in this case, nearly but not quite. Always at the expense of the British, and insisting we view early Maori through Rose tinted glasses.

yeahh hard i had to study on this for 2 weeks .. :]

Cool

Honest question, why does Hone Heke have an american flag on his canoe?

NZ Maori wars...has awesome knowledge also.so dont be shy to watch on KZfaq 🙂

2:27 - American flag on Hone Heke's waka. WTF?!

Who else watched this in year 10 lol

Not everyone arrives by waka. That is a Pakeha version of Aotearoa. Waitangi Day is a treaty between two boat peoples' from other islands. Get you facts right.

Thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaats Mo off Shortland street lmao.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 HERE FOR HOMEWORK BTW🙄

im pretty sure the Americans heard of the gold rush at the time they were also allies even then strangely when they supported Britain with a war against china at the time im sure that's why it may have been put on the waka, or the only reason i can think of other then remaining English loyalists in the states at the time possibly missionaries also arriving here to help of some sort??

It’s moe from shorty

But wat happend b4 that why they had to make a treaty

Agree

As for the cheaty? None of my ancestors signed it because they already knew it was a fraud. Those that did sign it were mostly from the Northern tribes in which over 500 signatures were given in the Maori version (the understood version) while a mere 30 signatures were placed on the English version which is totally different from the Maori one. Guess which version took precedence?

@positivethinkingjasm haha..weird in a good way I hope :)

From where did your people migrate from 2000 plus years ago?.

Thank you so much for sharing with me this fragment of history. The Bible foretells a time when peace will be achieved​ not through mankind. Psalm 46:9 says regarding the Creator, Jehovah God: “He is making wars to cease to the extremity of the earth.” Jehovah God will accomplish true peace by means of his Kingdom, for which many sincere people have repeatedly prayed Matthew 6:9, 10: "Our Father in the heavens, let your name be sanctified. Let your Kingdom come. Let your will take place, as in heaven, also on earth." His Kingdom is not an elusive condition of the heart; it is a real government through which God will establish peace from one end of the earth to the other. The inspired prophet Isaiah foretold that subjects of that government will not “learn war anymore.” (Isaiah 2:4) By means of a worldwide educational program, people will learn to live in peace and thus “beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning shears.”

wow some of these comments

Miss out some key context. English empire was spread thin with the mercantile factions running rampant. So the Church, through the Monarchy used the treaty to 'legalise' or codify NZ into a lawful structure. So the Crown with the church could wrest control from merchants like the Wakefields. Any other explanation is secondary. This is almost a fabrication to what and how it really went down. As the reason why one of the greatest cultures, with IMO greatest ever devised economies. I.e Mana Economy. And why they signed is one of the great untold stories. Curious?

Love you too aunty

i'm great great great great grandson of hongi hika

I'd like to use this in the classroom but the swearing in the video prevents me. A shame because I think the students would enjoy the videos. Maybe do a G version?

Someone said that there were no more full blooded maori's left in New Zealand. My mother would fit that category in some way but I don't like the sound of her being called full blooded maori. Does not the word maori mean an ordinary person. A full blooded ordinary person mmm dosen't make sense. Am I wrong in thinking this or have I worded this wrong. Tangata maori means ordinary person. You know it was the european that chose this name from our language just so that they could identify us as one nation of people from New Zealand.The reason why I carn't except this is because you have to say it as being called a full blooded maori from New Zealand. The people who have become citizens of New Zealand call themselves New Zealanders That is what make's sense coming from a european point of view. I can except that I am a maori from New Zealand but not I am full blooded maori from New Zealand. What about my mother is a full blooded aotearoariana from Aotearoa. What about this one I'm a aotearoariana but I'm not full blooded because I have european blood in me to. Yeah back to my mother yep her blood has no european mixed with it. She's going onto 84 year's old now. her and her younger brother of one year are the last of their generation in our immediate family now.

Who's here from Avonside??????

The Treaty`s true intention was to make provision for organized settlement in New Zealand. Māori were drawn in to an agreement by a culture that had no intention of keeping to the terms and conditions of that agreement. Pākehā sent a non- law educated person in the form of self-promoted Governor of New Zealand William Hobson to draft an important document that was translated wrongly for reasons only known to Missionary Henry Williams and his son Edward.

Oh boy

reply and give me the notes .....

Love how old Hone randomly has an American flag...just coz.

Hey guys if anyone's here from Mr Newton's 13Hist class I feel your pain. #ODFH
