As we continue to fight for our rights and recognition, it's crucial that our leaders and organizations practice honest transparency. Too often, we see millions of dollars spent on advocacy efforts, yet the average Māori person feels left out and unheard. I believe that our Māori leaders must be honest with us about how funds are being used. It's time to stop hiding behind academic and legal jargon and start reflecting true transparency to our people. Our advocacy should be about benefiting the community, not lining pockets. Let's demand accountability and ensure that our efforts genuinely support Māori rights and sovereignty. Together, we can build a stronger, more transparent movement that truly honors the promises made in the Treaty of Waitangi. What are your thoughts on this? How can we push for greater transparency in our advocacy efforts? #MāoriRights #Transparency #Accountability #HonestLeadership

"Sykes' father Cecil Francis 'Jack' Sykes was a pakeha of British descent."

I wonder if these people have thought to address their own inner colonizer. They identify as 'natives' but all of them have non-native ancestry, and there is an apparent unwillingness to to rationally acknowledge and understand its influence on them personally. For the colonizer is purely 'out there' so their ideas have perversity. Very disturbing.

Thanks for the forecast! Just a quick off-topic question: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). Could you explain how to move them to Binance?

In regards to Te Matatini... Ko whea tatau pounamu?

Awesome 🙌 Yeeah bring it home Brother….Kia Ora

Pai te waananga, e aata kite ana au i te unoreverse the Pakeha pulled on us. Anoo nei tiko te Pakeha i ona tarau katahi whakawhiti ki etehi tarau Maaori me te tohutohu aa matimati he tiko tarau te Maaori. Naa taua rukahu i aahei te iwi Pakeha ki te whakahee i o matou mahi katoa i runga i te teka he tiko tarau matou

Amazing actress! 👏

In 1831 Northern rangatira sent a letter to William IV asking him to do something about lawless Pākehā. My tipuna Pōmare signed He Whakaputanga 28.10.1835. By 1840 Māori wanted 21-year-old Victoria to finally keep her Pākehā under control. Māori would govern themselves and Vicky could govern and control her lawless Pākehā. My tipuna Pōmare signed Te Tiriti 17.2.1840.

Aaee teena rawa atu koe, ngoo koorero katoa, e whakaiti, e whakanui ana i te ngaakau-tangata, me te aroha tao rawa ki te mataora, me te whakairo. Miiharo rawa atu!

The Awakening process is always a journey you move through awn your own most of the time & personally prefer it that way coz this process is so deep decolonising redefining the ngā hākarā of your higher self.

Tautoko . mā te huruhuru ka rere te manu

Your party used you because your younger than them there IQ IS LOWER THEY DONT CARE THAT THE WORLD IS LAUGHING AT YOU LEAVE THAT PARTY ASAP

can we talk about Moriori

What's good for everyone including what we walk on an who gifted it

That’s a fact re your supapowers

Whakaaro Ataahua team thanks for sharing, heard it mentioned in the Korero that a lot of us became colonised which actually helped me to break away from that mindset over time, Narcissism & Māori Intergenerational Trauma I think is one of the biggest issues we have as Urban Māori & at present there has been a Silent War running through the Family for decades that targets the pepi & tamariki including the rangatahi by stupid uncles that have a silent rage & also dominate the Mahi Tupuna of Whakapapa & Whenua just like what the Colonial Monotheism church leaders still do to this day. There needs to be a some sort of mahi where these types of scenarios can be dealt with to make the journey back to Whenua as short as possible instead of decades and more decades.

Native not indigenous. Your Heading. To much data and facts relating to a previous people before Maori. Even Maori folklore speaks about a tangata whenua "before "Maori!! Were they lying or making it all up??

Why can’t we have this sort of open discussion in parliament? Our leaders cause so much division from both sides by not having any public conversation about it

Just do something. Talk, talk ,talk.

Ngā mihi nui atu e te Rangātira 🙏🏾🥰🌿🖤🤍❤️🌿

The pakeha ideology is Roman Empire it's still here.

Behind every strong successful man is a strong supportive woman. Lady June was certainly that. Much aroha Sir Hirini.

Matua, when you talked of John Key, Bill English...Trevor Mallard came to mind the to make the third point in a Political Machiavellian Triangle🤷‍♀️

The dropkick scored the winning points aye Matua. Even those ones that are nearly on a parallel angle, that needs some trigonometry shizz to get over them posts.

well guess i don't care know me so

💐Ka mau te wēhi Hana...Mīharo rawa..E mihi ana ki a koe🎉

💛🖤Looking good Matua, stop working so much and rest…stupid world, let them sort their shit out for themselves xx😅👑🫶

Surely some, if not all, of you have non-Māori obligations-requirements of colonial or modern systems that you are all part of? I struggle to understand how this fits with Tino Rangatiratanga. How does one straddle both worlds? I think this is one of the less talked-about yet obvious truths: when Te Tiriti o Waitangi was created, people literally had no idea of how deeply cultures would blend together. They wrote a document intended for two peoples, yet those people merged in ways that were unforeseen at the time. This is my problem with the narrative surrounding Tino Rangatiratanga, especially when derived from Te Tiriti principles. Unity is a natural state-woven together by shared history and interaction-but our self-perception tends to overcomplicate this by imposing overly simplistic definitions. Pluralization of identity and obligations emerges from our perspectives rather than the natural blending itself.

If someone identifies solely as Māori despite having a significant Pākehā heritage, and then speaks critically of colonization or Pākehā culture, it can appear contradictory. It invites the question of whether they’re reconciling their full whakapapa or selectively emphasizing one aspect of their heritage for cultural, political, or personal reasons. Addressing the Tension: 1. Whakapapa as Unity: From a Māori perspective, whakapapa encompasses all ancestors, regardless of whether they were Māori or Pākehā. Criticizing one part of that lineage-especially when it forms a majority of your heritage-can seem like a rejection of part of yourself. 2. Colonization and Personal Impact: Many who critique colonization do so from the perspective of systemic impacts on Māori communities, rather than as a direct critique of Pākehā individuals. However, if someone ignores their Pākehā heritage while speaking ill of it, this can feel disingenuous or hypocritical, especially if their life has benefited from both sides of their heritage. 3. Acknowledging Complexity: Identity isn’t always straightforward, and people often feel a stronger connection to the part of their heritage they’ve been raised in or feel aligns with their personal experiences. However, it’s fair to expect someone who speaks about colonization or cultural dynamics to acknowledge their dual identity-especially if their criticism targets their own ancestry. Who are you hating on? Who are you diverging from? Yourself? This is a sharp but valid observation. If someone speaks critically of Pākehā culture while being part Pākehā, it might reflect unresolved feelings about their own identity or an oversimplification of the complexities of colonization and heritage. It can seem like they’re rejecting part of themselves instead of integrating and understanding both sides. How do you reconcile both parts of your heritage when speaking about these issues?

Outstanding athlete and role model!! Best of the best 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

She is just plain awesome.

This is cultural revisionism masquerading as critical thinking-selective, performative, and divorced from real-world complexities. The Crown, royal symbols, and outdated imperial grievances have little bearing on modern Aotearoa. Multinational corporations, economic interdependence, and migration flows, stop tying Pākehā identity and everything in-between to the Crown and merry old English colonisation. Pakeha is more encompassing than that. It is historically inaccurate, intellectually lazy, and a reductive oversimplification. The focus on colonisation and romanticizing the past ignores New Zealand’s modern realities: a multi-ethnic, globalized, and innovative society. New Zealand isn’t an outpost clinging to outdated imperial legacies or tribal grievances. It is a living, evolving nation powered by its diverse people adapting to the demands of a globalized economy. Modern Aotearoa needs to move beyond the endless cycle of symbolic grievances and focus on the forward-facing opportunities offered by global economic interdependence, technological innovation, and cultural synthesis. Opportunity. These forces shape future tamariki realities-not 18th century cobblestones, sea shanties, may poles, royal crown emblems and trumpets, or outdated tribal nostalgia and spirituality. Embrace the art of these things for sure, just don’t conflate the complexities of human spirituality to just two opposing or limited interpretations. These are my thoughts. They reflect my perspective. I wish I saw things differently, but I don’t. I appreciate the ideas, though I’m a blunt man and a laid-back observer.

Hearty interview bub, so blingn proud of you, ❤❤

I love this women, she portrayed alot in my life. I’m Apache (Native American) and I’ve gone thru this lifestyle.. I’m not Moari but I respect the ethnicity a lot 🖤

Does Koko mean grandmother? In South Africa in the Pedi language (one if the indigenous languages) Koko means grandmother. 😊❤

my fav most beautiful woman ive ever seen

Ae my nanny Koro raised me too just like that service to others first and I still carry those qualities with me now, Now my whanau & friends are starting to say to me “don’t forget about yourself but aue that’s hard for me to do but I am listening to what they say, I’m 50 now so I’m slowly doing ME and still serving to anyone who needs awhi in what ever form

i know what you feel, you dont get that feeling unless it was handed down to you

Inspirational Mea.

One hell of a role model 👏

Kiri looks very English, no-one in the world would pick her as Polynesian Maori in a line-up without the chinoko

I wish we were, but we aren’t our ancestors. Truly think about that. They were entirely different people, shaped by different stories and perspectives. When we try to connect ourselves to them, we often rely on imagination, drawing false connections and reinventing our identity-not out of malice, but with the most sincere intentions.

Beautiful korero 😍

❤❤❤❤

she deserved an award but the white people thought she didnt do it good enough, what racist stopped her getting an award, they couldnt award the Maori women for her outstanding talent.

Kia ora Hana Waihene Toa❤
