TINO RANGATIRATANGA = FULL POSSESSION
In the TOW, Article 1, THE CHIEFS CEDED SOVEREIGNTY (KAWANATANGA) completely and for ever and they knew it. (Read Colenso’s record)
It is utterly absurd therefore to say that in Article 2, THEY SOMEHOW RETAINED IT.
Therefore, whatever the meaning of “tino rangatiratanga” it means nothing remotely like sovereignty.
The only tenable meaning is “full possession”.
Moreover it was assured to ALL the people of NZ.
