Nga mihi Eliota 🙏🏽 my Koro served in the 28th Māori Battalion from the Waikato region as a 15 year old after been turned away twice because he wasn’t 16. On his 3rd attempt he was accepted in. He was based in Egypt overseeing the waterways there. The disrespect of people of colour let alone the war itself traumatised him when he returned back to Aotearoa. My Papa said that he came back a bitter man & barely spoke of his experiences there after the land confiscations & lack of compassion. I honestly don’t even know if he was given a shovel 😳
Interesting brothers never knew alot of this information about the whole background behind Anzac day as I never really thought about it on how it truly affected our Māori & Pasifika peoples at that time in our own lands. Im from the 828 a lil town called Huntly in the Mighty Waikato. My Koro was in the 28th Māori Battalion "Waka Rotana"...who was deadly RIP Koro 👊🏼🙏🏼.. my late cousin "Jason Awa" who himself was also a deadly mf RIP ma Cuz 👊🏼💪🏼...done alot of research to do with our Koro's time & heroics over in the war but this indeed brings up more questions & alot of hurt n pain of the sacrifice he made & all our Māori/Pasifika Grandfathers gave for our freedom in our own lands to go fight in a war on the other side of the world that had nothing to do with us, just to be treated like nothing when they returned & their lands taken!
For me celebrating our anzacs was a tribute to our warriors who represented us on the world stage.
Yea I’ve always wondered what importance the Anzac has for pasefika people because our people were just taken to war for tench digging and a lot of them died in foreign lands
My great grandfather didn't go to war but as soon as that war ended he died from the influenza virus 21 years old 1918 Te Kuiti leaving my Koro behind who was only one at the time.
im a white person, and im saddens to hear the truth about anzac day, this is something we were never taught in schools here in nz, im so glad you told us the truth behind anzac day.
THANK YOU SO MUCH,,THIS IS VERRRY INFORMATIVE AND WELL SAID,,,TAUTOKO THIS KORERO !!!
My favorite podcast. Always running it straight with the korero. Awesome mahi
ANZAC is about upholding and supporting European exceptionalism. My father was discriminated against and denied entry into his local RSA. He fought in Egypt 1941 serving in the 28th Maori Battalion
European exceptionalism? Bullshit... ALL the servicemen in the Colony nations suffered... Not just Maori... Pull your victim mentality head in...
Thank you for the truth, particularly about 'cashless society,' your passion is second to none.
Bro my great grandfather fought in WW1 part of the cook Island battalion and they were amo rummers and were not allowed to have firearms
There was no such thing as Cook Island Battalion lmao 😂
Maori battalion makes more sense
@@KeetahHudsonmy grandfather's brothers where also part of the same regiment from the cook islands but they where know as the Pioneer battalion Rarotonga Company that helped the British confiscate what we know today as Palestine from the Turkish
Eliota, thanks for letting the truth be known! Much love uce
Shot Brothers, this is some awesome korero, I also have ancestors that at the bottom were unaware of the politics and intentions of people at the top...Alot of our maori whanau were so traumatised from the whole experience that they passed on generational trauma, alcoholism, mental health...which we now see reflected in the statistics, prisons, dysfunctional lifestyles we see and hear today
THANK YOU ELIOTA FUIMAONO-SAPOLU
Everyone is entitled to their own perspectives and i don't fully agree with your views about our people. As a P.I and a former soldier our people are celebrated and have always been celebrated, just not very openly. The sacrifices of the great wars paved the way for others who followed their path. It wasn't all doom and gloom for our soldiers, some were probably naive as we all are but the excitement of doing something useful and contributing to a greater cause is admirable.
Good talk bro, so f*ken right... It's insane.
In Australia, about 90.2 percent of the nation's population is white. The following is a breakdown of some of the major ethnic groups that fall under this category: British - 67.4 percent of the population of Australia is of British descent.
So sad what our people went through 😢😞😞💔💔
always come to the uso for the truth thanks eliota!
They packed them on the ships in shitty conditions below deck like sardines, to go to war, and to add salt to the wound, they left majority Maori and pacific men behind because there was suddenly “no room”!! Wtf!
SMH
Keep speaking truth Eliota!
Str8 up fuck the tax big ups to our locals with their hustle don't knock our peoples hustle love your truth bro fuck there colonialism
Your uneducated ignorance is astounding...
NGA MIHINUI KIA KOE PARATA.
TAUTOKO TO KORERO EHOA.❤❤❤

the rents are high and the wages people take home are not enough to cover, power, water rates, food, internet, clothes etc, especially if u have a big family...if people have a side hassle why not, the government needs to go on a budget with taxes....the number of people on benefits in 2023 was 351,759 in a country with a population of 5,124 million which begs the question of what is the government doing with the rest of the money....every single person in this country owes a debt of $50,000 which is this country' deficit...so let them have tax free side hassles....
They owe
Fuck taxes alright

AN SACK
In the two countries of Australia and New Zealand FIRST N Z a majority of N Z ers have Maor blood and are proud of it, there fore there cannot be exclusion in NZ because of this, fact is they are MOSTLY MAORI..as to Australia, it is ethnically the most diverse racial country in the world and to argue otherwise is just not the truth.
Majority of the Pacific soldiers who fought in all the wars we're Māori though!!
I've read some of your comments and you seem to be disclaiming that there were any other people of Pacific ethnicity other than "maori". Off course the majority of Pacific soldiers would be Maori (at that time) as Aotearoa and her tangata whenua were serving their coloniser, the British Empire. Other Pacific nations sent contingencies in lesser numbers but doesn't mean there weren't Cook Islanders, Samoans, Tongans, Fijians fighting and helping out each other in battles they had no reason to risk their life for, Maori and Pacific Islanders alike!
The men/boys that went were under British command. They were ALL considered as "Colonials" by Britain...and had ALL been treated poorly by the British Crown....not just Maori. They ALL went through hell and back... No matter what nationality or particular race they were. NZ did not become a Dominion in its own right until 1948...AFTER WW2.
ANAC means the Colony nations of Australia and New Zealand. Are we non Maori not meant to celebrate and remember our Grandfathers and fathers who fought under British Rule in both World Wars? My Grandfather fought in both wars.... Not ONLY Maori were treated badly after both World Wars. In my era... All soldiers who were stationed in Vietnam were also treated badly upon return.
ANZAC day needs to commemorate ALL the servicemen and women who participated in all the conflicts... And leave politics out of it... No matter how many grudges you perceive against the Government.
Ironic, how you want to disregard 'politics' when the narrative is no longer aligned with your version of "his"-tory (history).
In your perception what does what does "treated badly" entail? sounds like your grandfather did not have his ability to defend himself removed, sounds like your grandfather was not digging trenches and ammo running with out the ability to shoot back or at minimum defend himself with the same ability due to the color of his skin, this is called racial segregation. Your white privilege and its audacity is astounding to compare or even attempt to correlate its likeness of treatment. We are not the same.... Typical pakeha
Mate sooo much of what you’re saying is terribly inaccurate. To the point it’s scary what you’re putting out to the world. I’ve studied a lot of New Zealand history and nearly every topic/view is stretched out of control.
STHU! you must be white and defensive from hearing the truth.
You know they re-wrote the Bible too? Don't believe everything you read sonboy. The victors write their own version of "history"
@@CamElRodriguezSnrJnrIII that is very true at times
Who wrote the literature you studied? If from a Maori/Polynesian perception please drop some links, I would love to explore further. However its more than likely from the perspective of a Caucasian to suit the Caucasian narrative, Culturally insensitive with disregard to our tupuna and zero recognition of historical ties and lineage to our land.
These stories are vastly under represented and alot of trauma has been past on to the generations after, this is represented in alcoholism, substance abuse and over representation in prisons and mental facilities. Alot of this knowledge has past with the bearers of these experiences, many choose to not speak about the horrific acts and subjected witness they had to endure.
@@brad5564 I am very sympathetic to the effects the Māori have had handed to them from the British colonialists. But what the guy was talking about was a bunch of one off shameful events bundled up as though it happened all the time and to every single Māori at the time. This has nothing to do with my views, it’s just cold hard facts. I’d recommend looking into the way the Māori battalion were welcomed back after the war, just one example
Just another whinge to get more money...
whinging whitey, how surprising
His t shirt answers Yr question.
So..are you saying he's wrong ? And if that was your bloodline sent to war with no weapons, would you still call that whinging?
@@lizahenry3343 yes he is wrong...
@@williamearnshaw410it's just facts 😂
Im never celebrating ANZAC!! fk it!
Thats the way. Never celebrate, but commemorate the sacrifice of our pacific people for a shot at equality
