A BROKEN NATION – COMPLETE TRIBAL DISUNITY - Dr John Robinson.
With a clear understanding of the Treaty, of what it is to break that agreement, and that it applies equally to all parties involved, the answer to the question of who really broke the Treaty can be understood by examining key events in New Zealand history. I considered seven such examples in my 2024 book, “Who really broke the Treaty?”. I have not been guided by racial separation, contrary to the Waitangi Tribunal which was instructed to deal only with possible breeches of the Treaty by the Crown against Maori – all actions contrary to the agreement of the Treaty were considered.
The answer is clear. The Crown, the several Governors, and the government never broke the Treaty of Waitangi. All actions taken were in accord with the accession of sovereignty and the assertion of British law. A number of Maori chiefs, and their iwi, committed acts of treason and rebellion, in contradiction of the Treaty of Waitangi.
All Treaty settlements are based on the Crown having broken the Treaty. Since that is not so, all such settlements are a fraud. There is no justification for the continued existence of either settlements or the Waitangi Tribunal.
Although most Maori joined in a change of culture in the years surrounding 1840, welcoming the peace and security resulting from colonisation, some chiefs refused to accept the loss of their power, wished to hold on to their mana and to continue as supreme tribal authorities, to reverse the unity of the Treaty.
There was the Waikato minority king movement set up in 1858, continuing today.....
