ACTIVIST’S AIM
The article ‘Abolishing councils is his goal’ (2/10/20) clearly spells out the intentions of activist part-Maori in our society, that being a cultural takeover of New Zealand.
Maori have never exercised collective sovereignty over New Zealand, so what is meant by ‘regaining full sovereignty’?
As for ‘land stolen’, very little, if any land was ‘stolen’, some south of Auckland was legally confiscated to quell a few rebellious tribes, no confiscations of this kind happened in Northland.
Some Maori land, as happened to other non-Maori landowners, was taken under the Public Works Act for public good, and in most cases compensation was paid.
Complainants of ‘land stolen’ should specify the location, area, boundaries, dates, by who and in what way stolen, just a generalised ‘our land was stolen’ is not good enough considering the many mistruths that swirl around these neo part-Maori clamours.
Turtons Deeds are evidence that Maori landowners willingly sold most of New Zealand to the ‘wicked white man’.
Lastly, equal power/control sharing is not implied in the Te Tiriti o Waitangi. Chiefs ceded full individual sovereignty/chieftainship (Article 1) and were granted the rights of British subjects (Article 3) which placed them under political control of the Queen, hence no equal power sharing.
Albeit, the article does serve as a good ‘wake up call’ for patriotic New Zealanders.

WHO ARE THEY
I wonder who are these ‘Racists’ that Anahera Herbert-Graves refers to (Maori and Euthanasia, 29 Sept)?
The irony is that it is the separatists such as Ms Herbert-Graves, who define people by race.
She seems to blame today’s Maori woes on colonisation and yet conveniently forgets how traumatic it must have been for her Maori ancestors to live in constant fear of another tribe turning up to kill, rape, enslave or eat them.
Instead all we ever hear is how the British saving them from this stone-age existence was so traumatic it has left these neo part-maoris unable to function in a civilised society without mollycodliing or the handing over of $billions to their tribal elite.
These grievance malcontents also forget the many benefits that colonisation made available to them which far outweigh any downsides.
Tribalism requires an enemy, and won’t rest until it finds or invents one!
