Big up the Māori people for standing up for their rights

In the 184 years since that treaty was made between the Māori people and the English crown it has never been honoured. When it was signed Māori people made up for 98% of New Zealand, as of last year 17% of New Zealand are Māori and the parliament want to rewrite the terms of a treaty that they never honoured anyway. I'm not Māori but people I care about deeply are, that's why I know so much about it 👹

Oh and in 1840 the Māori cheifs never acted upon the sovereignty the treaty gave them, their home was being colonised and they simply wanted everyone to exist happily together, for Māori people to be allowed to enjoy their land and culture and for peace. Little history lesson of what the parliament over there want to rewrite 👹

I’ve also just watched a history vid about the Lakota people in America and what was done to them. Thrown out of their sacred spiritual moutains for gold and then just to carve Mount Rushmore into it. They made them sign treaties and gave them all false promises but then literally massacred a lot of them and then made the rest leave. Horrific.

Indigenous and native people all over the world get treated so unfairly. They've also tried to say well the people who signed the treaty are dead so it's no longer valid. But it was signed by a Whānau, a group and that group doesn't die, it's a group of recognised people whose family now exist and represent that group. My friend described it as the treaty is valid until the sun no longer shines and the rivers run dry.
