I grew up in Tasmania, we learnt a Maori song at school I've never forgotten, we learned about Maori culture, and we share with them the isolated Island identity! Tasmanians deeply respect the New Zealanders, I have visited New Zealand and their extensive art, traditions and culture are extraordinary, and enduring! Thanks for sharing this video! 🥰
Does Tasmania have or has had an indigenous population?
@@riawaikerepuru2239 Tasmania had a small indigenous population when the English arrived, (the French and Dutch had already been there) believed to be a separate genealogy to mainland Australia - as they did not integrate or trade with Asians or Europeans down there! There are no full-blooded native Aboriginals in Tasmania now, disease and constant tribal fighting decimated them! There may be small communities on the outer islands!
Love to visit Tasmania which endures the same climate as as my own country Aotearoa
What was the song?
@@sontarnahetaraka5973 Pokarekare ana! I still love it! 🤗
Cheehoo proud to be half Māori half Samoan 💯💪🏾👊🏾
Me too brother we usually the best lookers too uce 😂
@@YallNotWhite_YourPINK lol the best of both worlds aye brother 😉😂
Half Maori half Samoan here too. Love my culture on both side
I can only imagine what your family gatherings would be like mean feeds and good banter and a whole lot of music/singing 🎶
@@ramsauceramsey8154 spot on brother good vibes
Man ive been lucky enough to do quite a bit of travelling and im always joining in when there's a haka. Im full samoan but i grew up in new Zealand most of my life so i represent my home. And my maori brothers always appreciate it. That's another great thing about New Zealand is that it doesn't matter what nationality you are, you can do the haka and become 1. You're a kiwi no matter what.
Respect Whānau ✊🏾
And to answer your question about Tattoo.. Although it is not obligatory to get tattoo, in our culture they are a thing of beauty and a mark of honour.. so although you dont have to get them, many choose too because of how our people view them and what they mean to us.. i hope that makes sense.. i for one, wear mine with pride.. ❤
Thank you for explaining.
Hi guys, as a white new zealander, we all respect the maori culture here, and absolutely a feeling of togetherness with haka , much respect ❤
Unless your name is Winston
Or luxon and seymore 😂@@strangemachines_
I wish we all did but there will always be those, IN EVERY COUNTRY, who do not respect others.
@@thiskiwigal...tautoko
Irish/Maori myself. Both of me is a "No But," falla. A classic New Zealander. Unique in the Earth. 🙏🏾💪🏾🇳🇿
I would love you guys to watch a film called whale rider I am an aussie but I have travelled the world and this film really hits in the heart of Maori culture from spending time in NZ. Trust me you will love it very beautiful movie
Excuse me our ancestors did not request this treaty, it was a treaty requested by the Europeans aka Captain Hobson because they couldnt defeat Maori jungle warfare in Aotearoa
Actually the treaty was signed before the new Zealand wars
Correct on what you comment , bu tthe pirates had cannons ,Gatlin machine guns , grenade lauchers, muskets, bombs , they had more fire power ,more advanced on technology, education, greed ,
it was about one world order, natives already had sovereignty 1835 , signed by king Williams , before queen Victoria, 1840s brittish pirates, American democrats, went to war then named their business with politicians , policies, and pirates ,flags , usa,Canada, Australia, new zealand, pacific Islands, even China, Japan, Africa, many other countries, they corrupted, manipulated, brainwash, , the treaty is about REVALATION, the pirates way of stealing land , and resources, land means people's, , im Native but also related to the royals, this why I know this , and many hidden truths , , the system today is about CESTEI QUI VEI, , pirates are maritime admiralty policies, politicians policies, not land of th e laws , , policies is not laws , corporations policies is not laws, , it is just a name of a building , like government means to brainwash the public, manipulate, our lives , 😮
No Maori "has" to get a Ta Moko to be considered part of the culture but it holds a special place in our hearts. Looking forward to getting mine done once I've fleshed out my story a bit more. Great video team
Also, im not sure if you would be interested in reacting to music but a Kiwi Artist named Stan Walker, he won Australian Idol a while back, an incredible artist who incorporates Maori Language in alot of his covers and music. His performances with "The Levites" are mind blowing, his cover of "Dont Dream its Over" by Crowded House and also his song "He Kakano Ahau" ❤❤
Awesome suggestion!
Te Reo, the Language, is not just learned in Kapa Haka. Often in schools , basic instruction is also given in Te Reo like E tu / stand up or E noho/ sit down , and everyone knows words like whare, Waka, Kia Ora, ka ki te , etc. Then there are the abundant town and city names in Te Reo Māori. I live in Tauranga, I have whānau and friends in Rotorua, Reporoa, Tamaki-makaurau etc. We hear Te Reo daily including on TV. It all helps to rebuild and strengthen Te Reo - the language.
It begins at home through parents and grandparents whom are our first teachers. l certainly learnt from them who sowed the first seeds
Te Reo ( the language ) is taught here in New Zealand from pre-school throughout the tamariki ( children ) school years and beyond. My mokopuna ( grandchildren ) absolutely love learning it.
Always loved these people
We love their culture.
You 2 are awesome. Proud Maori from tainui tribe here I don't know if you have watched any movies from nz but it would be cool if you did sometime.
1984 is when Te Reo Maori became The official language of Aotearoa, New Zealand.. When i was at High school (90s) not every one understood why our language should be taught. let alone like it being taugjht .
You mean in 1987, it was brought about because of the Māori Language Act
As a Croat I feel like I have to mention the Tarara
Which is the name for the people of Croat-Maori descent
Now if yall are confused here's the story:
in late 19 century A LOT of Croats moved away fro mtheir homes "trbuhom za kruhom" as we say (it translates to belly following the bread) so yeah that's why there's a lot of croats in USA, Argentina, Chile, and New Zealand.
The new zealand croats ussualy worked as Kauri gum diggers which was a thankless job for "second rate citizens" and was also quite often done by the maori people. Considering they worked next to each other and faced the simmilar struggles the two peoples grew closer and Croats often time married Maori women.
and Tarara if I'm not wrong means fast talkers in Te reo maori
Tarara is a onomatopoeic word. It comes from what Croats spoken language sounded like to the Ngā Puhi people in the northern New Zealand. ie Ta ra ra ra ra
@@MrAhuapai oh .... fues I had the wrong info 'XD
@@PeoplecallmeLucifer the rest of it was pretty spot on. Kauri gum digging etc etc
With the Maori people it doesn't matter 'how much' Maori you are, even if you have 1 ancestor from many generations before you are still Maori ❤
You two are great. Keep up the good work. 👍😊
Kia ora! I just casually decided to check you guys out for the first time. In the interest of feedback, I'm half cast Maori/Pakeha and it was the title of your video that lured me in :) I thoroughly enjoyed as it was lovely to see two open minded individuals with a fair understanding and genuine interest in other cultures. I'm happy to announce, the road to 200 has just collected another passenger :).
As the birth place of the industrial revolution, the British empire were leaps and bounds ahead of any other nation through their advancements with science and technology. At its peak, the empire obtained 1/4 of the worlds land mass and 23% of the worlds population to which they mostly obtained through brute force and military superiority. I say mostly because Maori are the only culture to have bucked that trend. It was no secret that the worlds greatest army and navy belonged to the British, when Queen Victoria was informed of the handful of humiliating defeats suffered from the so called savages in the new land, the decision was made to round up their elite military commanders and army/navy personal from around the entire empire. They were to join the existing forces in NZ and proceed with the invasion under the control of the empires most successful General, Sir Duncan Alexander Cameron. (1808-1888). I encourage anyone that's interested to look up the battle of Gate Pa, it's one of many examples of how the Maori out smarted and humiliated the worlds elite whilst being severely out numbered (7-1) and ridiculously out armed. The generals plan was to pulverise the Maori forts into oblivion from an untouchable distance with the largest artillery weapons on the planet, a measure having never been required previously through out the empire but essential to guarantee the annihilation of the Maori. 110-pounder Armstrong gun (Removed from the HMS Harrier) two 40-pounder and two 6-pounder Armstrong guns plus smaller artillery were used for approximately 2-3 weeks of constant bombardments on Gate Pa (Maori Fortification)from a distance of approximately 1.7km away.
What follows, is an example of one of many reasons why Maori are considered to be the greatest warriors and war tacticians of all time,
they are the original creators of gorilla warfare and trench warfare. Emersed within their spirituality meant Maori didn't fear death, they lived for the opportunity's to battle through their deep-rooted beliefs and desire to pay respect and honour to TumaTauenga (God of War)
Peace!
Welcome to the family! Thank you for sharing this information with us! I think we all can feel the warrior spirit when we hear/see a haka.
I would just point out, they weren't the original creators of guerilla warfare as it has been used as a tactic for over a thousand years, Sun Tzu even wrote about guerilla warfare in his book, The Art of War. But they were the first to use modern trench warfare which neutralized Britain's artillery attempts. The English just weren't used to guerilla warfare because they have living a long history of field battles where they would show of the force of their army before the battle would start, something that was passed down from the Roman days.
Enjoyed this reaction. Very understanding and respectful.Thank you both. I wish the documentary had someone speaking in only Te reo(our language)so you could hear how it sounded in conversation not just in song and dance.
Try reacting to the Maori Battalion. They were the most highly decorated unit during WW2. And are credited with giving Hitler his first defeat.
My uncle was In Maori Battalion
Historians would probably claim that Battle of Narvik in Norway by British, French, Polish and Norwegian forces in May 1940 was the first real defeat of the German army in WW2. At the same period the Maori battalion were engaged firstly in Greece and then Crete but they could not be described as victories over the Germans as the British decided to abandon Greece and the battle for Crete was eventually won by the Germans
@@MrAhuapai ...kia ora e hoa. Great historical informative reply.
Although majority is English and Maori we now starting to have a language week for all languages in other nations that are a minority here in NZ like, Samoan, Tongan, Fiji, Niuean, Kiribati most Island nations also in schools they have their own language week for Arab and Muslim countries, Asian countries and other European countries. We in NZ are without our faults but it is a special country. A government and country that values its peoples , indigenous, native and foreign is truly special.
Beautiful review
❤❤❤ Kia Ora you two for doing this.. proud Tainui Tribe member here.. would highly recomment checking out some "Te Matatini / Kapa Haka" performances and also the "Haka Documentary" by Beats by Dre 😉😁👍 I attended what we call "Kohanga Reo" it is basically a kindergarten for Maori children and was speaking fluent Te Reo Maori at home with my Dad by 5yrs old.. we Maori are proud of our heritage and strive to keep our traditions alive ❤
Love this! We will check it out!
10:25 Brother Katz Maihi, extremely talented Ta Moko artist and a great bass player. We've shared the stage many times.
Hi guys, only certain people (descendants of Chiefs) were tattooed.
And everybody's tattoo was different.
This was because of a number of reasons.
Certain tattoo designs were awarded for;
1) 1st born male or 2nd born female ECT,
2) Your father's rank in society at birth, this was attained only if your mother's rank was of equal or higher rank then your father's, so if this was not the case you automatically received her rank.
And so as you grow up your journey through life became your Ta Moko (tattoo).
So yeah hopefully I've explained it to you guys in a comprehensive maner? but that's the basis of Ta Moko.
You two take care and stay healthy.
Actually thinking about that your tattoo would have served as proof of your profession eg,
Master carver of Houses,
Master of Ta Moko,
Master of Horticulture;
High Priest,
Paramount Chief ect
Kia ora kōrua (hello, you two) You’re both welcome to come visit New Zealand any time.
I am half cast maori, I was brought up overseas but my maori side came up with me while I was overseas, my pakeha mum was more maori on the inside than anyone I know now.
I was picked as one of the cultural ambassadors for rangatahi (Maori Youth) to attend the world indigenous peoples conference in the US many years ago, we couldn't raise enough funds to go so we missed out, some of the other people of different cultures from around the world learned of this and made plans to come and visit us.
Some were from the US, we met with Hopi natives from Arizona, and Ute from Utah, some native people from Peru and a few from Europe, the Pacific Islands and Australia, the Original Americans told us about their reservations and how they have some control on them right down to having their own law enforcement and being exempted from certain federal laws, we also discussed health issues that plaque both our (Maori and Original American) communities.
We exchanged cultural performances and sat down to eat afterward, one of the Original Americans looked out the window and asked what that building on the other side of the parking lot was with its highly decorative patterns and carvings, he assumed it was for religious or meeting purposes, we told him it is Te Kohangareo (The Language nest) where toddlers go to learn our language, customs and traditions similar to a kindergarten but in full immersion Maori.
With that a light went on in his head, he told us that with all the autonomy they have on the reservation the one thing they hadn't thought of was full immersion for babies into their culture through a kindergarten type system of education, we went on to tell him we have full immersion primary (Elementary) and full immersion high schools out in mainstream society, the original Americans were absolutely gobsmacked in disbelief and a little taken back that they hadn't though of it themselves on the reservations, we offered to take them on tour of some of them, however they declined as it wasn't part of their itinerary.
My sincerest apologies for such a long winded story, but it does my heart proud to see others from around the world appreciate our culture
Thank You both for putting this video up, hope you do come here one day, and make a video about it.
Kia Tau Terangimarie (May peace prevail for us all).
Im Micronesian & for us Pacific islanders it is just cultural & tradition to introduce clan/village/island/family with cheers or what we call from my island & "etiwetiw"(to welcome) or "afanafan"(to notify) it can be a dance, cheer or speech(words of wisdom).
Just so you know, we are a very proud race no matter where we are but if we are in another part of the world and you pick on an Australian, when there's Kiwi around, sorry but we will always side with the Aussie cos he is our bro from across the ditch. Its just a love hate thing that we have going but, we have the utmost respect for each other. Just had to put this out there 🙃However, for over 20 years we have had Te Kohanga reo (which is like a kindergarten) and to this date they have almost a 1.5 year wait list for children waiting to get in. They are taught to speak fluent Māori from the time they start their first class. Today Māori is taught in every educational system throughout the country. Māori also have their own Learning Communities that is open to anyone whom wishes to learn any subject in Māori. I absolutely loved your response to this documentary. Thank you for your time.
Nice one guys people from America who have Maori tattoo are Ben Harper Latasha lee
Singer Robbie Williams has one on his left arm and he is from the UK 16:00
Ta Moko in the old days were given to Chiefs which was the highest honor a tribe coould offer to a Chief equal to a gold crown. This originated from a Chief long long aago whom , did something truly significant to a tribe he loved to serve. For the Chief him or herself used to tattoo protective symbols that allowed the wearer to phase shift OR portal out of danger. Or if a person had a sever or permanent sickness he/she would tattoo a cure with a single symbol onto the skin.. These are forgotten stories of My Ancestors
You guys should react to what New Zealand can teach us about reparations 👍
It’s on our list to react.
maybe maori can give reparations to the true indigenous people of NEW ZEALAND
@@steventhomas9461 Oh god, there's always one...
@@KylieMackLA Yep always one who speaks the truth and doesn't fall for the bullshit.
@@steventhomas9461 who are the true indigenous people of new zealand?
Hey guys I know this a bit out of date but the best way to explain our culture is to visit our small paradise. Both of you appear to be extremely down to earth and I feel like you are sincere in trying to understand our culture. The best way to understand it is to experience it.
One day, we will visit!
Maori is now taught in our schools..we have Maori language week..Our tv presenters have learnt the language always say good morning..good evening in Maori..the cities in our weather reports our spoken in Maori..Maori are represented in our Government..it's Awesome to know that the language has made a come back..❤
Thats what i like about NZ. They acknowledge the presence of Pacific culture. America does not do that for us in the Northern Pacific.
The Polynesian culture!! Tongan,Samoan,Mori,Fiji,Hawaii!!!
Henry Williams actually was doing his best to protect Māori. He was FURIOUS when he discovered that the New Zealand Company was 'buying' up land left right and centre . He did his utmost to protect the whenua and the mana of Māori. Yes, later on it was TOTALLY dishonoured but he and his assistant were doing their level best to preserve Māori rights. Others later in positions of higher power broke the spirit of the Treaty and the words. Te Reo was effectively protected in the Treaty, and freedom of ALL RELIGIONS. However those protections were broken by those later 'laws' that gentleman spoke of, forbidding Te Reo.
Receiving a moko of any kind is a choice. Each of us have different reasons to get ta moko. January 2024 I'm proud to reveal my moko kauae. This is for Maori wahine ( women) only and I'm sharing this moment with those I love dearly. I hope one day you two get the chance to visit Aotearoa (NZ)❤❤❤
Its true, some of the Maori Chiefs asked for a treaty, because various tribes were in conflict with each other, and they wanted peace, and go forward as one people. Of course, there was unpleasant things happen, between the settlers and Maori. But its not only a one sided story. This is human nature.
Chur bro, our tupuna realised that we Maori had to join together because of the sheer numbers of Europeans that were arriving on our shores daily.
If that treaty didn't happen we would have been wiped out like they did to the original people of Jamaican, Trinidad & Tobago, and the other Caribbean islands. Anyway cool cuz I'm Maniapoto and Tainui as well bro, chur
I live in Wanganui 😊😊 we’re that tattoo guy is I love my town
Tena Koe, Thank you - I enjoyed watching
my mother is 81 now still alive, she grew up in an era where she couldn't speak or understand english she only spoke our native tongue, hense going to school she would get assulted/abuised from the english teaches for speaking te reo maori/ maori language.she was born 1942.
When i was 6/7 years old my home town was very racious, there was a white tap at the top of our main street in town and at the bottom there was a black tap because i did not know that i was not allowed to drink out of the tap up the top of town i was aressted and put into jail. In my home town its still racious today and im51 years old now.
kia ora - hello korua - you 2 ka pai very good nau mai haere mai - you 2 are very welcome
Worst thing about watching people like y'all is like 'oh that's a real good point, I should like the video. Oh damn I already have.'
Tūtira mai ngā iwi. Come together as one family.
7:15 - that was bluntly dishonest assertions by that Maori activist, yes, the colonials behaved badly and violated the treaty left, right and centre, they however did NOT engage in campaign of genocide (The colonials on the other hand in Australia did especially Victoria).
You don't have to get tatted up you can wear it on the inside just as long as you know where you from your tribe n subtribe your river n mountain that's all encompassed within Ta moko
Wow where were all the maroi
Colonisation and christianity had a big impact on our traditional practice. Ta moko as a traditional practice was impacted.
You both commented about the leg tattoo back in the day the people that had leg tattoo were for accomplished warriors
Kia ora bro, a couple fun facts: us Māori didnt have a written language, we shared everything by speaking and passing everything on that way. After Europeans stole a bunch of land, our language was banned in public up until the 1990s. Kids were beaten if they spoke it in schools and there was a period in time where many things qere closed for Māori. Our current govt is once again trying to silence our culture and language again ut we're fighting 😊❤ also, the tattoos, ta moko (for men) and moko kauae (for women), would tell the story of your families lineage. The left represents your mum and the right represents your dads lineage, and you being the newest person to link those sides. Our culture is deep and beautiful and i want to thank yous for being open to learning. Ka pai whanau ❤
Tattoo Wayback was for rich gentleman and ladies in England, until sailors and poor people started wearing them, true story 😊❤
As a young Maori in Aotearoa, New Zealand, today, it is not a requirement to get these traditional tattoos.
Back in the old times, it was a rite of passage as you got older. Most of the older adults would have full body tattoos.
Another thing is that you can get the tattoos even if you don't understand them, but if you don't understand what your tattoos are about, you will not be respected for them.
Us maori will do a haka anywhere. Literally anywhere 😂
Aotearoa loves you
Some families have African-American lineage because some early whaling ships had African-American crewmen who married into Maori families and never went home.
yeah but with blood line it’s very hard to say that most māori families actually have afro/african blood descent in them to call themselves black
the ones i know don't call themselves African American or black, but they do acknowledge those whakapapa lines... @@fast_chaserrr
You guys should react to 10 facts about maori warriors!!! Its a good video
Will do!

Don't forget our Pakeha White brothers and sisters. We fought together with in 2 world wars.
my tupuna/ancestors from get go, before the pakeha/white man came to our whenua/country our people never done tatoos with ink but with chizzles and it was straight carved into there faces, & bodies.
getting Ta Moko is not required and alot people choose not to.
that first haka with the all blacks why do they show that we lost that game
Ta moko is a personal desicion between you and your culture. not everyone has to get it, but only maori have moko, if you are non maori it is called krirtuhi. Ta Moko - blood decendant, Kirituhi - non maori heritage.
I believe the Lord of the Rings was filmed in NZ
Kia ora ki te pehei a koe? Ko Kelly taku ingoa. Ko Ngai Tahu taku iwi I'm a Māori from the tribe Ngai Tahu !y name is Kelly
NZ has Fiber Broadband everywhere.
We all have cell phones with internet plans.... make more internet content.....
It’s all your own choice to have a ta moko (tattoo) or not.
To elimate Te Reo Māori is to eliminate the All Black haka???
The settlers also brought with them their diseases...
Bit of history from 1980. Former NZ PM David Lange said this. "The Treaty of Waitangi was forged in a time when categories mattered, we don't live in that world anymore." He was referring to the absolute moral categories of the Bible. The Treaty was never practiced consistent with the biblical method of Antithesis where intellectual certainty is guaranteed. This is why the Bible once lived in the court's. Another problem with the Treaty is that it ignored the peoples' that watched them arrive. Two problematic situations for NZ because both are committed against God. The God of the Treaty of Waitangi. Who or what else can live behind the idea. A Maori cosmology synonymous with Greek mythology and a science that can't quantify personality. The Gap God idea is dissolute. Many Maori have a bias against the Judaeo Christian Tradition despite know very little about it. The God of the Bible is a white God. A God limited to a colour is no God at all. So like everyone, three questions remain. What is a belief? How do I have one? How can I be sure that I am right? We are not lost to a Postmodern Post-Christian day. Mauriora!
As a white New Zealander we have great respect for our culture down here.
I am descents of colonisers and I recognise that I am living on stolen land, just as you are in the USA and non Aboriginals are in Australia.
Our new government here in Aotearoa (NZ) 2024 are now trying to get rid of our language, by trying to change the principles of Te Tiriti o Waitangi ( The Treaty of Waitangi)
Emotional reaction. The English banned my native tongue of Scotland Gaelic. Thankfully it did not erase our Scottish culture.
Ta moko, or otherwise, I don't trust people without tattoos. It tells me they either don't have a story or deeds to tell of, or - they're hiding something.
So only the most knowledgeable men are allowed to have Mataora (a face tattoo) but pretty much anyone these days can get them on their arms or legs.
Maori are Kaitiaki (Caretaker) of things Wairua, spirit. Even if they don't fully understand its implications on wider society and beyond. People who experience some of this on channels like yours will judge for themselves whether this is true or false. Many Maori were influenced by the Judaeo Christian Tradition and I think that many of the biblical attributes an be seen in the cultural expressions. Our Anthem happens to be, "God defend New Zealand," sung in two tongues. Our greatest export Ka Mate which is about a Cheif Te Wharerangi who saves the life of his enemy Te Rauparaha (Te Rauparaha composed and performed this to Te Wharerangi after his life is saved). Te Wharerangi is killed for doing this y those that sought to kill Te Rauparaha. The theme behind Ka Mate is that the High Moral ground is not negotiable. I think that we can find God in every culture. I have tattoos I got when I was 12. When I grew up in a time that if you didn't have tatts you weren't Maori. The real Temple is the thinking. Romans 12.1 says that thinking is the first act of worship. Maori have a way to go yet. But the foundation is there historically and theologically. Modernity and Postmodernity have no corrupted us completely. You can't kill Wairua. We're here till Jesus comes. He gave us Wairua Tapu (Holy Spirit) to dwell in us and for us for such a time as this. Mauriora (Breath of life). Maori finish speeches with this term.
Maori are Polynesian🤎
It took our ppl a long time to let the white men to not take our culture, there was a big revolution from one of our ancestors
Unfortunately we have Māori and non Māori in New Zealand having to protest to keep our culture. They are trying to do away with the treaty that help protect us.
The video gives you the impression all New Zealanders are into Maori culture. Maoris form only 15% of the population and thus the culture is quite small. I have many Maori friends that don't speak the language and have no desire to. Also, only some schools teach Maori many more do not.
Why do you think Maori are now the Minority in their own land? Why do you think Te Reo Maori (Maori Language) was almost lost? My grandmother was beaten for speaking Te Reo in school. It took one generation to lose our language and 3 generations to revive it. Thankfully the Kura Kaupapa generation are here.
😂😂😂😂 my child friend Mr Daniel Hapuku. Funny to see him on this. I'm going to give him shit ❤❤❤❤❤ and no you don't have to get ink. And also māori tattoos our butt checks down to the knee. But again. Not everyone gets the Pūhoro or the Ta Moko. But today every man and his dog gets the arms done.
the HAKA IS A WAR DANCE PERFORMED TO INTIMIDATE THE ENEMY THE LYRICS RE PERFORMED FOR DIFERENT HAPU IN THERE OWN WAY AN IDENTITY
NO THE LANGUAGE HAS NOT DIED OUT ?????
WE NEVER AGREED TO IT WE WERE ROBBED SO TAKE THT TREATY PUT A MATCH TO IT
THAT WASNT THE FAULT OF MY PEOPLE THAT WAS BRITISH RULE MAORI WAS NOT ALLOWED TO SPEAK OUR REO IN SCHOOL MY PARENTS ERA THEY WENT THROUGH IT NEVER ENDS MORE BAD DOINGS BY THE BRITISH
THE TREATY IS NOT WORTH THE PAPER IT IS PRINTED ON WE WERE SCREWED AND STILL BEING SCREWED TODAY ????
7:50 eeeeeeeh Maori were no better than the europeans in this regard
look up the Story of the Moriori people
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moriori
What sre you trying to say? The maori ate all the moriori lol. The moriori are from chatham islands not New Zealand itself. Again maori were here first and then moriori split off from maori just like the rest of the maori trives through out NZ. First maorii here landed in the Hokianga far north New Zealand then they migrated across the country. Go do some research on Kupe the first polynesian to discover NZ ihoa🙄

Moriori are another Iwi (tribe) of Maori and still alive and thriving on the Chatham Islands. They have also recently, received an Iwi Settlement. Why are you perpetuating that same old tired lie? Is it so you can feel better about yourself? I'll bet you don't even know any Moriori. Prffft.
Go do some research n see who discovered new zealand wasnt the moriori lol they didnt discover the chatham islands fiest it eas actually the hokiana. All maori originate from the hokianga ediot. The moriori of the chtahams obviously the last fakest maori👍 and actually i do know some moriori and guess what they all liok white 🙄

Like he sed it was only specifically for maori people ...but now mix races extends the culture more ... there's no full maori anymore
