HISTORICAL RELICS
The National government, following on from the English / Paki accord reached in August 2016 at Huntly, effectively in league with the Maori Party and tribal interests, `proclaimed' there will be an official commemoration to mark the NZ Land Wars (tribal rebellions) of the 1860s, the first to be held on October 28, 2017 at Tai Tokerau Marae, Northland.
That's the anniversary of the Busby-promoted brain-fade known as the 1835 Declaration of Independence, signed by 34 northern chiefs. Yes, that's right, only 34. This piece of nothingness was sidelined by the Treaty of Waitangi in 1840 and confirmed at the Kohimaramara Conference in 1860 but all are historical relics now anyway.
The current aberration has come about by grievers, appeasers, revisionists, and vested interest Maori groups seeking to give some validity to what is revisionist claptrap.
The New Zealand government looks to have ignored the wishes of most Kiwis to endorse and promulgate this nonsense— no referendum, no submissions, and no public consultations.
If anyone wants a celebration, they can hold one in their own time and at their own cost without any financial support from New Zealand taxpayers, who have already paid dearly. Anyway, why would anyone be holding this commemoration at the Tai Tokerau Marae, because northern Maori ceded sovereignty, they were not involved in the treasonous tribal uprisings, and none of their land was confiscated?
Conclusion — this is incongruous. It is interesting that Stuff made the initial media release on October 31, 2016, and then immediately stated no comments would be taken on the article- now isn't that a giveaway?
Kiwis only option to stop this rorting is to toss out the current National government and not to elect a Labour/ Green coalition at the 2017 election. The only viable alternative therefore seems to be for voters to give NZ First their party vote, which may result in 20-25 seats, representing the balance of power, and stop these bouts of race-based madness which 80 per cent of Kiwis abhor.

NO BIRTHRIGHT
One theme that evolved very strongly from the NZ Herald's article on Kaikohe (Our kids at risk: Losing and regaining mana in Kaikohe) was education, or rather the lack of education, which was attributed to bad teaching methods and unprofessional comments such as those referred to by community leader, Ngapuhi runanga general manager Erena Kara, " Maori kids grow up with subliminal messages like,' Oh I didn't expect you to be in the science class.'
Pastor Mike Shaw, on family relationships, mentions the term 'slave mentality'. The tribal practice of `slavery' was prohibited by the Treaty 175 years before. He continues "We can't do it, we haven't the resources, it's because we've been colonised-all this deficit thinking."
He also says, "unemployment attacks the mana of a man and makes him feel worthless."
If community leaders are voicing these excuses, one cannot blame the average ill-educated, unemployed person for resorting to them.
`Mana,' or 'respect,' is not a birthright. It has to be earned by what one does and not by what one doesn't do. Poor education because of truancy, unemployment because of absenteeism and criminal records, domestic abuse, the break-up of families and welfare dependency because of alcohol do not increase mana. Accepting personal responsibility and striving against adversity do.
