FACTS
B P writes > Facts: “Maori” is a general description by the early settlers in this land of the peoples who settled in ‘Nu Tirani’ from wherever.
The non-name “Aotearoa” had not been ‘invented’ and was never a name for the country/nation as a whole (a concept not known to Maori);
‘Maori’ are not and cannot be described as ‘indigenous’; they are but recent colonisers; there were people here when (most certainly) those known as Ngapuhi arrived on these shores.
Paramount Ngapuhi Chief, Tamati Waka Nene, sought what became the Treaty of Waitangi and acknowledged ‘One Sovereign, One Law, For ALL.’
Sir Apirana Ngata expertly analysed the Treaty many years ago in one of the most erudite essays on the Treaty. Sadly many pseudo academics, woke PC nincompoops, disingenuous politicians and the newly ‘born’ radicals continually attempt to re-write history for their own advantage. It is amazing just how many have a whakapapa which is predominantly non-‘Maori’!
This is 2022. We need to put an end to this separatism and recognise once and for all that we are a nation of many peoples.
We need to abolish all race based laws and institutions once and for all.
We need to stop the idiotic continual references to ‘white privilege’ (a real surprise to Asian New Zealanders and other immigrants who have contributed so much to this nation) and cease the references to ‘partnership’ - such is NOT a Treaty concept and could never have been.
There is no way that the Sovereign would have contemplated let alone entered into any such relationship with a multitude of warring tribes.
