WAI262 claimants advancing protection of taonga including rongoā Māori
WAI262 claimants are hoping a new kanohi ora strategy will help advance the decades-long claim about flora, fauna and intellectual property rights.
Te Taumata Whakapūmau is a collective of whānau claimants leading the strategy. Group member Melanie McGregor (Ngāti Koata) says it’s about capturing the voices of whānau, hapū and iwi to protect tāonga, including mātauranga Māori.
“It’s very critical to the claim that we have this body set up to ensure the voice of Māori is captured and that they can contribute to the national voice for the protection for their own tāonga.”.....

Playcentre vote overturned
A 91.75% majority vote to change Playcentre Aotearoa’s constitution has been overruled by some of the organisation’s roopu (governance bodies), Playcentre insiders have revealed.
In the vote, parents and employees at 366 of 400 playcentres voted yes in favour of change.
However, before any change could come into effect, a separate vote from the organisation’s roopu needed to be considered.
The organisation’s six roopu are "governance bodies within Playcentre Aotearoa, consisting of whanau Maori, to give whanau Maori an equitable voice in Playcentre governance", which require at least five of the six roopu to agree in order to achieve a consensus.
Four roopu voted in favour and two against, but the two-thirds majority was not enough to carry the change.....

But our history shows that utopian vision of a mutually prosperous future was lost across the years since 1840. Those years saw the good intentions swamped by a one-sided story which saw Pākehā prosper and Māori alienated from their whenua, taonga, economic assets and opportunities.....

Re 26th. I wonder if the Tauranga Council have estimated the total cost of the pou matauranga appointment (whatever he or, god forbid, she might be). Not just the salary, office space, car, but the enormous amount of time to be wasted by staff attending boring instruction in maori time, unfathoming and incorporating maori in communications, placating confused and enraged ratepayers etc
With its miniscule maori population I would have thought Milford the least likely place to be peddling pro Treaty twaddle. The Asians must be bemused at least. As many lead lives planned at all levels I cannot imagine them tolerating such a waste of time. II wonder if they mostly flock elsewhere.
Re the ANZ. Clearly as with so many others it is bowing to the mighty maori economy. Presumably maori will reward it by tranferring all their high churn, minimal lengthy deposit, benefit receipt accounts to it
re 28th
Is this government capable of responding to ANY crisis without devoting special resources and personnel ONLY to Maori "needs and wants".
Why not just try helping EVERYONE who needs help. Prioritise the ones most affected for a change.
Hipkins needs to sort this blatant racist treatment out if he imagines any future as NZ's Prime Minister. He won't though!
"Go see what maori need"... really? Surely the same as their NZ neighbours.
i searched the entire beehive but could not find the roles/responsibilities/privileges of this new "Minister for Cyclone Recovery". surely, we can't be making up such roles without a democratic process!
One has to wonder who accompanied Minister Mahuta to Japan - were these people related and did she or her family have 'interests' in these business activities? And how acceptable is it that only Maori business interests were being promoted?
As for the "many exciting and varied' narratives" the mind can only boggle at what fabrications are being inflicted on these young impressionable minds at Milford Kindegarten in ensuring they get their appropriate dose of CRT as part of their Aotearoa NZ indoctrination.
"“Myself and Minister Davis are talking with Māori about their needs, their wants...."
One would hope that "wants" are ignored in favour of "needs"
On and on it goes.
Re 28th. Somewhere among the various early accounts I have read the curious maori tikanga of compounding the misfortunes of any suffered. So maori who have not troubled to be insured need not be assisted and can be kicked off vulnerable land without compo. (If anyone has exact references would be interested. Somewhere in Polack, Logan Campbell, Maning, EJ Wakefield. And in accounts of shipwrecks)
Notwithstanding their partial genetic lineage, aren't ministers of the Crown such as Jackson and Davis obligated to act in the interests of ALL New Zealanders, rather than favouring Maori of everyone else? Moreover, on the premise that the Crown and Maori are involved in a "partnership" (a constitutional absurdity and impossibility), how can they reconcile their conflicting positions as representatives of the Crown with their membership of Maoridom? This is a clear conflict of interest, surely. Either they are Maori advocates, or they are ministers of the Crown, but they shouldn't be both, given the clear inherent tension between the separate interests at stake.
Re the above, I glanced through Polack for the first time in 25 years. The goods from p59/60. I had forgotten what a fascinating read it is.
For those interested in an account of life in NZ 1831 to 1837 by an objective, observant, very literate participating European, Polack's two volume book is hard to beat. Sadly it predates the period covered by the school history curriculum but it would have certainly grabbed the interest of boys in particular. Far more grim than the unexpurgated Grimm's Tales. The complete counter to those who try to present pre 1840 as idyllic. Curiously remnants of many of the maori behavioural quircks are detectable today. Including the enthusiasm for meaty takeaways, ingratitude, crafty manipulation, wanton violence, proneness to commit theft etc. Disregard for convention when no enforceable penalty likely. Utu. The difference between chiefly tino rangatiratanga then and any conceivable situation today is so different as to be effectively unrelated. The book will probably be hard to locate. With library staff, like so many others, now recruited on basis of PC pro maori attitude, most copies have probably been discreetly dumped.
re 1st March. Yet another $15 million race based funding for maori. More grey hairs for the auditor general. More encouragement not to make resonable efforts to ensure self reliance.
I have just read ' Old New Zealand ' written by F E Maning which was in a box of books that I bought at the Kaiapoi auction house, a very interesting read. More interesting though it is a cancelled library book ! I collect early NZ published books so I know how difficult they are to find now , a library shedding real history is difficult to comprehend. Also it's nearly impossible to buy any books published by Tross in book stores or find them in a library so our freedom of choice has been cancelled by this Communist govt and their woke academic worshippers. Kiwialan.
So if you can get the shingles vaccine earliet if you are maori what will be required as proof? Surely we could all identify as maori if we say we are maori. Or will birth cerificates be required to prove you are 16% maori? A dna test? This is absolutely rudiculous.of course.
Hi Kiwialan
Maning was very lucky to survive. Pakeha were tolerated only for what they could provide. Nothing changes. Your impressions of Polack would be of interest. Life was tenuous for pakeha and vastly more so for maori, until the Treaty saved them. The degree of slavery, wanton plunder and slaughter, cannabilism and infanticide is now very much played down. I started reading early accounts 30 years ago when I became dubious of the standard presentation.
Re the 3rd, the encouragement of maori in procurement reads like a course in incestuous business and nepotism. Sanctioned race based purchase favourisitism now pervades amuch of local body and govt activity. More headache for the Auditor General.
A message, passed constantly, will then register as important - even a priority.
"Maori first" is stated so often that it is now embedded in the consciousness.... so, mission accomplished.
This process has been very thoroughly planned and executed since 2020. Many NZers think like this now.
Re WAI262, as a lathe owner i have alwys been fascinated by the mechanism of the self centring scroll chuck. So much so I have considered treating myself to a scroll tattoo on each (rear) cheek. But seems unless I hurry I will have to pay a royalty.
Did anybody ask a Moa for their opinion on the degree of their protection?
