TARANAKI IWI CALL MORIORI 'CONQUERED AND SUBJUGATED' IN MODERN-DAY LAND BATTLE

The Taranaki iwi which invaded their home in 1835 say it can't happen, because Moriori have been "conquered and subjugated".
Now, Ngāti Mutunga is trying to block a planned transfer of 12,000 hectares of Department of Conservation (DoC) land back to Moriori, saying they have no right to have it exclusively........

The story was about attempts to hand land back to Moriori of the Chatham Islands and how that was opening up old and painful wounds.
But instead of actually reading the story and trying to understand it, many used it as an excuse to legitimise the wrongs perpetrated by European colonisers by making incorrect and sweeping generalisations totally devoid of fact.......
