Thank you for the kind words my bro - I am glad that you enjoyed my talk. If you come to Aotearoa, make sure you get in touch. chur Uncle Tame.

Many Maori were not happy with Tame Iti when he was young. Not just him but all of the other protestors of that time. When I went back to University as an older student. I was in my late 30's. It was the 80's..... My parents warned me against being involved with radicals. I even told my interviewer that I didn't want to be involved with radicals. I was so ashamed when I became educated....My parents were wrong....If it wasn't for radical like Tame Iti..... we would have made no progress...and we were all close to losing our mana..... Thanks for your show..It is awesome. ...... You too are opening our eyes like Tame Iti was saying...eyeto eye...man to man.
💯🙏 education of our true history and knowledge was manipulated and buried from our people including the next generation of European and other nations . The erase of the truth by the government and those who support it . Just how could be so comfortable and hypocritical at the same time . Equality is not and superior is what they support . 😓 Used gods name to conquer in vain 😓
Tame Iti is a real OG and koro. I could sit on a dirt floor back in the forest and listen to his korero all day. Some people might have or had issues with him. I’d bet though he would welcome them in for a conversation whereas it might not happen the other way around. He’s has this aura about him a self confidence that must give his whānau so much mana. Ka pai koro and nga mihi nui to Tame Iti. Aroha from the hills of West Virginia.
I’m pakeha and have been listening and following Tama for near two decades. He is a class act and of high value to society.
@@HighMaintenancePSAre you joking lol? He’s an embarrassment to the Māori people. As corrupt as they come.
Tame Iti was so misunderstood when I was growing up...
Class act the bro is.
💯!!!
And consider the fact that this racism, where Tame Iti was told he was not allowed to speak Te Reo Maori at school occured in HIS lifetime and he is still alive.. THAT recently... consider that for a moment...
My Nan lived through it. She's going through alzcheimers now. Possibly dementia at this point. Every now and then, she would just start talking Maori. Like fluently. We get why. Like it's her alzcheimers, and growing up, we were told what she had been through (in schools, there would be corporal punishment for speaking maori. They would literally beat the maori out of you) but it hits hard seeing the result of that trauma. My whole life, she spoke English. I had no idea the extent of the maori language she knew.
Kiaora, Ko Maria Whakapono Kawiti, Ngatihine raua Ko Ngapuhinuitonu oku Iwi, Kawiti toku Hapu, Ruapekapeka PA, Kawiti Pa, Waiomio Kawakawa!!! I met Tame Iti 30yrs ago in Kirikiriroa University. An honour and privilege to have met him. I am eldest of ten girls four boys. My Father Maihi Kawiti, Ngatihine and Mother, Elizabeth Faith Maihi, NgapuhiNui Tonu!! We lived in Te Mahoe for few years, where we were Jehovahs Witness's Back Then. Every morning I took my sister's to Te Mahoe Primary school and every morning we met with other school kids on basketball courts with teachers and headmaster to Sing God Save Our Queen!!! As JW's, we weren't allowed to Sing God Save the Queen!!! Te Mahoe had a German Headmaster Mr. Schmidt and he would smack me in my mouth for speaking Maori!!! Didn't Help that Jehovahs Witness's didn't tolerate or respect Tikanga Maori, they saw us as "Evil Savages!!!" I left JW with my three sons. My Parents along with my Siblings disowned me and my sons. Haven't seen them 35yrs!!! Took awhile to accept, I don't Miss them anymore!!! No regrets, my son's and I moved on with our lives and happier!!
Hey, it was the same in south africa. If you didn't speak Afrikaans and pass, you got punished. You would have to repeat the year. I hated school in south africa. The damn rules were so severe, that I was so scared if breaking that actual school work took a back step.
We were taught to hate, and I wouldn't comply. I got punished at school, and punished at home. Today, I'm a warrior!
And yes, I grew up during apartheid 😢😢😢
The hatred, palpable hatred. I want no part of that!!!
Thank you so much for sharing. Wonderful man. And I am sitting in my kitchen clapping!
Hey mate, I noticed nobody really acknowledges this but as a fellow ADHDer I absolutely get you. I get your passion and the childhood trauma as I lived through something similar. Keep being you my man, you are unique and your personality shines through the screen!
I loved this ted talk thanks for reacting, insightful
I'm a 52 year old white male born in NZ.
As a child Growing up I remember our family and others of the same cloth looked at Maoris like Tama as lost, uneducated antagonistic trouble makers with an unquenchable sense of entitlement , with nothing to contribute.
I now know different and our family and friends are no longer fooled by the colonizing agenda to 'Divide and conquer,' The fires of racism must be extinguished completely! We are all equal. The more I hear Tama speak the more I realize we are all the same with The same needs.
I would love to meet Tama one day and perhaps share a cold beer with him. Respect
Oops sorry I think I spelt your name wrong it's Tame not Tama. Sorry Tame
I love your reaction and commentary to this❤
watching a american watch Tame Iti is the funniest shit
Kia ora cuzzy. Explain how so, bro. This guy seems to understand exactly what Koro Tāme iti is on about. Don't think you do cuzzy 🥰 much aroha
Tame itinerary is awesomeness,even in your presence you feel his humble mana
Aww this is beautiful 😊
I enjoyed this thankyou for your word's of wisdom 😊
I have so respect for Tame Iti, his power and presence will be talked about for many generations to come.❤ Aroha
In the Maori language there is no swear words, the "boil your head" is like tha maori version of fuck you basically 🤣
Thoroughly enjoyed that
Butiful honest transparent speaker, gave me clarity and understanding. Love how he raised himself to speak eye to eye.
Thank you for sharing the MANA.
Thank you Tame iti for knowing who you are and sharing and protesting for your MANA..
Amazing Man 💖💖💖
Yeah th power of knowing who you are, i enjoyed it so much watched it 3-4 times, nice work Tame iti, NgaPuhi!
That’s my whanau so proud ❤❤❤
As a young Maori man that's lived in NZ my entire life I forget that "mana" isn't a concept that holds as much importance to other cultures compared to my own and yet it is one of the cornerstones that make up who you are as a person. The fact that this is new information for people will never cease to amaze me, it just feels like second nature at this point
Awesome reaction!!!!
This was amazing! What strength to go through that. I fine the Maori culture so beautiful. This man is inspirational. BTW I agree with you about school...I think typing class and my language classes have been the only things useful to me. I learned more in church than anywhere else and now I'm learning, through you, about people like Tame Iti and his experiences. Thank you!
This video of Tama Iti always makes me cry. Such a hearty solid speach ❤
Solid reaction bro, awesome
My first year of primary was the last year of smacking at school 1988, I came from a Kohanga (Maori Kindergarten) I only knew Maori and was getting whacks everyday because i couldn't speak English and she was a Maori she could understand me but was yelling at me in Maori and whacking me not to speak Maori.
A Lovely Pakeha Lady was a teacher aid and helped me learn English, taught me writing and reading. Forever grateful to Mrs Black never ever forgot who she was because she would protect me from the teacher who would whack me she knew it wasn't my fault.
In my 40s now i look back and think from a wider scale of how the Westernized world forced out alot of Native Cultures ways, how it was demonized from the West. I feel for my Grandparents and my ancestors that had to go through that sort of Racist Ideology.
I'm a Tuhoe and I'm a Proud Maori who loves all New Zealanders as if they were my Brothers and Sisters
I’m soo happy to see you enthused by our culture ❤
It is beautiful to see. Just a note Some of the translations seemed google translated because some were incorrect, also Christianity and early missionaries played a big part in the destruction of our culture and are equally accountable for there actions. We would like an apology from the denominations who came to Aotearoa. Nga mihi
Stan be forgiving of your father. Before its tolate. He was taught from a young age where he is comi g from. Blessings 2u & your family.From Our Heavenly Father.I am a catholic. A friend of mind went away from being a Catholic. I said God will deal with. He came back 2 being a Catholic & Christian
Always adored this incredible man, even when he was a 'young radical.' Maori are fortunate to have many of his calibre fighting for justice for their people but Tame Iti, intelligent and wise, really is something special! 😍
😮Wow ... your father was either jealous of you or hated you???.....wow😢
Great reaction!!
Love all your reactions, I watched them more than once. Your empathy shows and your genuine!
Keep them coming 😊
"uncle" Tame Iti makes me proud to be a Maori. Sad i was unaware of this talk. Thank You for bringing it out for the world to see and hear. You got good Mana cuz. Chur
Lines and manure? Best of both worlds.
Yes plz come visit Aotearoa. We love 2 host u.. lotsa aroha❤❤
Bruh, you got chilled when you heard him talking about specific line as I did, I also had the same experience with my dad, but I stood up my ground.
Bro your reaction video to Aotearoa and in particular, us as Māori tangata whenua is beautiful. I can see and feel how genuine you are, kei a koe te mana.
Mauri Ora
We as Maori use our rivers, mountain as a means of belonging-mana. Our Maori ancestors stood tall against those who knew nothing about Maori, nature, and humility.❤
Please also react to Aaradhna’s ‘I’m Not The Same’, a beautiful song which holds much meaning after she opened up about suffering domestic abuse… her voice is stunning, she is up there with Stan. Kia Ora, love you mahi!
Toitū Te Tiriti!
bro me think its time for you to visit Aotearoa...you shall be our Manuhiri-visitor; therefore we shall be obliged to take care of you, protect you ...just saying braaxxx
Any village/ marae be honoured to take you in xxx this, we know and you can be sure of xxx
Thanku for sharing your reaction on our people and culture, mana tangata, maori maori
Tama iti is your uncle when you come to Aotearoa New Zealand 🇳🇿 take care stay safe God blessful blessings friend your comments was s ataahua watching you enjoying our ( Kaumatua elderly Maori.man) Tama iti video nga mihinui manaakitanga aroha aroha❤❤🙏🏽 ❤❤❤🖤🖤🙏🏽🙏🏽
yo Iv'e tried to get a few reactors to check this out and the one underneath it Koos Wabeke - what I learned from the Maori , we don't have swear words in our language only curses like I'll boil your head most ultimate way of dissing someone for maori is to eat them and turn them into crap
Yeah! koos Wabeke's talk is awesome too, and he did so well doing the Haka as well ❤️
❤❤❤
Thank you dude u have assume mana
Kiaora bro ,rastafari
Hey yall it’s crazy that I only lived in Hawaii for two years and I can understand the Māori words he’s saying cus all I have to do is think what does that sound like in Hawaiian and my guess is right 😂 for example. He said “Tipuna” im like hmm funny that sounds like Kupuna which means elders alive and dead in Hawaiian. Then he commence to saying “Which means Ancestors” never felt smarter in my life 😂 but it’s eye opening to realize that no matter where you are in Polynesia “mana” is the word for “mana” which tells me how important “mana” is in their culture
I love your reactions to Tama Iti's korero
I went to his first exhibition, we were invited to wipe our feet on our flag as we entered, I expected a lot, I was a bit disappointed tbh, it was like someone that had a message, but didn't have the ability to talk. He then put up his famous "Trespassers will be eaten" sign, and alienated us whitebait. I love my country, and everyone who loves it too, I've marched beside him when I agreed with him, I've called him a prick, and called him out, when I've disagreed with him, I love and respect the man, he is a national Taonga, and while his head is stuck in the past, his wisdom and leadership is cherished, from my own perspective anyway, lol.
The origin of the art of pukana (facial expression), the wild distorting of the countenance and glaring eyes seen in posture dancing is said to be traced to the koukou or owl. A pukana helps to emphasise a point in a song or haka and demonstrate the performer's ferocity or passion. For women, pūkana involves opening their eyes wide and jutting out their chin. For men, it means widening their eyes and stretching out their tongue or baring their teeth.
Thanks for that.
ka pai maatua spoken like a true Tuhoe speaks through the Eyes Ears & Mouth of his ngai Tuhoe Tupuna.. Whakarongo Titiro korero as my tupuna of Tainui Waikato & Taranaki would say. Tautoko tenei korero. Not radicals or terrorists as perceived by colonolists ❤❤❤❤
I think at that time Tuhoe got 170m from the crown....which was a great start! So glad you watched this video, I knew you'd enjoy it!
Tame Iti lead a protest at Waitangi Day 2024. It was a master class of how protest and performance art can be used together.
It was held on the Treaty grounds. There are You Tube videos on this protest Haki Atea.
bro...he is your uncle. it's about time you come and meet him..kanohi ki te kanohi-eye to eye
i am a practitioner of mau rakau, a type of martial arts in maori - we use the birds to move quickly in offence and the movements of the fish are used for defensive moves/ counters.
think of mana as yin and yang (puna and hani) it goes both ways, in the negative or positive.
The deep irony is that the land for many country schools around NZ were donated to the government specifically to build a school for the people in the area. Maori were very keen on education in the 1900's.
"We are the Rangatira of this country ", Tame Iti.
I’ve meet him n stayed in ruatoki before everyone there korero te Reo
You need to watch the movie Muru it has tame iti in it, it’s a true story and has 2 other important stories mixed in to it but most of it highlights the day of the Tuhoe raids
Upoko kohua is a maori curse word(s) meaning ill boil your head..
Ūpokokohua
Ūpoko - Head
Kohua - pot
Māori do/did not have swear words . And the head is classed as the most sacred part of the body. So using this statement and any insult pertaining to the head was seen as the worst insult anyone could receive.
Also you are spot on about, "they are just words"
A lot of pain and trauma was caused by the crown, and our people are still healing. So seing video like this is a beacon of support that some of us dont realize we need.!! Thank you 💯
Āe tīka!
Bro, please do McKenna Breinholt audition on American idol. It’s pretty awesome
Haha actually you nailed his off the wall comment - he said pokokohua which means I will boil your head
Mana my bro
He is a great warrior!!, I respect him but he got arrested many times over the years for telling the truth and protecting Maori territory and people. I love his fire and courage and gratitude.
My children r english, irish German Norwegian Chinese Father my husbands name is hok yan meaning man kind. Myson name is serng loong meaning heaven dragon (Shannon). My daughter name is hung yuk meaning red jade & a famous female warrior who fought 2 the death. Her name is monique. I taught them don't 4 get there roots
Youre reaction to 25 times bigger than NY. Is not surprising, on the ted x comments others kindly pointed out the error , 2.5 times bigger then NY. still a large area.
check out the movie Muru...the story of what happened to Tame Iti...and how a system got it so wrong...
My father was of the same generation as Tamaiti, he would get hit with the teachers long ruler across the knuckles ,head and backside for speaking Te Reo. The punishment was so sever that he developed a permanent stutter. My father was so badly effected he chose to never speak Te Reo again. So me and my siblings grew up only knowing how to speak English. It is only now as an adult that I have felt the strong pull towards reconnecting to my whenua and my tribes and mostly for my children.
My grandfather was.beaten the same for his maori as well...😊
🤝🏾💯🫡
That not speaking Māori seemed to be the thing back then my father went to a māori speaking school in the East Coast until the Government came along and closed it then forced all the Māori kids into a white school and expected Māori kids to speak only English! My dad did not relate to the Government ways, but as always had to conform to their rules or else. My father raised us speaking only Te Reo Māori and when I spoke it in school I got the strap for swearing 😂 idiots from that point on I hated school. Tama iti was one of those that showed His true mana for his people 'Na, bugger you ehoa this is my whenua piss off! In short Utu, he fought for his People.
Hey diddle diddle
The cat and the fiddle.
The cow jumped over the moon.
Rude 1st thyme 2 learn.. think bout it
hahahaa true! No Diddy lol
Am I trippin or does Māori sound like Japanese?
Keep up the good work getting to know the Maori people of NZ . Perhaps you are not getting the whole picture . I watched a documentary on Opotiki which is a town with its unique set of issues. I feel like you are looking through rose coloured glasses when you talk about Maori . Maybe Stan needs to look at what’s going on in Opotiki and talk to his whanau there. It is not a pretty scene.
Sorry but this is a very "pakeha" comment
Listen. There's good and bad in every continent on this earth. But right now, I'm here to learn and I can tell by your words, you want the attention to shift. I'm learning that Maori people are a proud people. Their culture is rich and vibrant. It has survived all these years and will continue to flourish. It will never be lost. I am encouraged and grateful for what has been revealed. Much respect and love to the Maori. ❤
Gangs are formed after Returning soldiers get home. Even after the recent Iraq Afghanistan war. A small % end up in clubs.
what’s going on in Opotiki?
I thought his world was K Road with a restaurant funded by people of Tahoe to fund a lifestyle of Champagne and nightclubs before his ethnic restaurant that went broke
Huh!!! You don't know much, do you!!!
@@riawaikerepuru2239 know more than you ever hope to know
You need to distinguish between a religious belief and a religion. I've been expecting to wake up tomorrow for 64 years. This is a religious belief based upon faith because tomorrow isn't here yet. I bet my life on it. The fact that one thinks is indicative of faith because something must be there to think about. Religion is another level of questions mostly better answered by the Philosopher's of Religion, Philosopher's in Metaphysics and Theologians. Methodology and Epistemology are the necessary tools required to approach these questions. Maori Cosmology begins with nothing, and then all of a sudden there is something, darkness. This fails at a basic academic level. The Big Bang Science theory is identical. They have two amazing miracles despite rejecting any notion of miracles and the supernatural. Something from Nothing, and Someone from Nobody. The idea is that you take a bling leap of faith and merely believe it because someone told you to. Concerning the Bible. Some say that the God of the Bible is a White God. But a God limited to a colour or language like Allah is no God at all. This critique is childish and irrational. The Bible once lived in the court's because it represents the Method of Antithesis in human reason process whereby intellectual certainty is guaranteed. Not because God said the he wrote it or because the stories are out of it. Because it represents Absolute Reasoning process the Bible describes as the Likeness of God. What colour is thinking? Take the Bible out of society as Stain and Mao and the Socialist governments around the world have done, and right and wrong carry the same value. Yes and No equals yeah but. Prior to any problem comes a thinking dilemma. Science can't quantify personality. A Maori Cosmology can't either. They are both Impersonal world views. The Bible is about a Godhead that thinks in a unity of thought, will and expression, the Godhead is and God is love. They make us in their image, 'spirit' after their likeness 'certainty' place is on a physical earth so that we can pro-create. Tamariki are the heritage of the Lord, the fruit of the womb his reward. Not everyone will buy this korero and nobody should. You're designed to know for yourself. All the evidence you need surrounds you the thinker. My father was 28th Maori Battalion. Came home from the war and had us 16 tamariki on Motiti island. He went to town to get on the piss one day, 5 hours to Tauranga. Their boat capsized in a severe storm and nobody was lost. Even though my father went to war, he met God under the water in a capsized boat. This event affected our entire island. Out there, we had to do things differently. No power. No shop. No Doctor. No running water. Know for yourself. Follow no man.
Wow! Did you make this river? Only the Creator owns everything, not you.
Are you a New Zealander? If you are, shame on you. If you are not, then you need to understand that the meaning of 'my' river, in this context means guardianship, not ownership. Maori see themselves as guardians who care for the natural environment of their tribal areas, for the benefit of future generations. Pull your head in.
ignoramus
We supported our protestors what you in about
Watched a few of your vids bro as a maori man I feel the culture bleeding from you my bro I feel you need to go home to your people brother
A lot of Māori are stepping away from religion as a result of colonialism and all its negative facets. We align more with the spiritualism of our ancestors. Subscription to Christianity has fallen to 23%, 25 years ago that number was 47%.
Christianity is a business, the amount of warehousing in construction, plumbing, roads they own.Hotels. developing lands today, here. These families are dam mega wealthy.
They worship the money god and, they don't pay taxes. Furthermore, the image of christ displayed all over the world according to the bible, is totally inaccurate. So, if they can't get the description of their lord correct then what else is flawed?
I am a believer, I don't go to church, I am a spiritual being. Respect religion but I don't belong to any religion. I belong to mother Earth to my Divine.
Lol, it just means they are falling for the enemies trap... sad if that's true
Its Rangatira like Tame Iti that kept our culture strong, solid & survivors
