“RANGATIRATANGAISTS”, or those who demand that every square centimetre of NZ land should be given to people with a Maori ancestor, are an extreme sect.
“rangatiratangaism” came about as a result of Kawharu’s self-serving re-translation of Te Tiriti in the mid-1980s.
By re-defining the word “rangatiratanga” in Article 2 as “unqualified chieftainship”, instead of the word it was intended to translate “ownership”, Kawharu set this entire gravy train in motion.
