Ihumātao: Recognising indigenous heritage | Pania Newton | TEDxAuckland
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 май 2024
- Pania Newton’s path through life has led her to find her purpose, her kaupapa: protecting Ihumātao. Home to the earliest inhabitants of New Zealand, Ihumātao is a landscape of cultural, historical, and environmental significance. Despite this, the Crown has failed to recognise its heritage values for New Zealand, allowing it to be sold for a proposed housing development. Realising that the plan meant 480 high-cost houses on the confiscated land, Pania and her cousins created the SOUL Campaign to resist the development. Later with family members and other supporters, she has occupied the land to protect it. Looking deeply into why Ihumātao has not been recognised as heritage worthy of protection in New Zealand, SOUL has uncovered the extent of the bias toward protecting colonial built heritage over sites of indigenous significance - an issue that is seen across the world. Here Pania tells the story of the fight to #ProtectIhumatao. From a childhood of struggle Pania never focused on the negative, but was fortunate to stay true to her Maoritanga. At nine years old she wrote in a time capsule that she wanted to be a lawyer to make a difference. After working hard to achieve that, she has temporarily left her law career to fulfill her purpose and responsibility to the environment for future generations.
She now dedicates her time to huis and the occupation of Ihumatao land. Everything she does is for others; her nieces and nephews, her whanau, and future generations, so the sacrifices are without regret. As a frontline protector of Ihumatao she has had to step out of her comfort zone and face challenges, all in the name of saving a unique and sacred land, contributing to a better Aotearoa for all. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
Cook island people stands with you...
I watch the news each night about the occupation at Ihumatao. Trying to gain understanding, wonder what it's all about. I have just watched this amazing video clip of Pania Newton, and listened to her story, her heart, her passion. I wish every newzealander would take the time to sit and listen, and listen again. Amazing woman. Amazing passion. May justice be done, and your fight not in vain.
i met pania 3 years ago at ihumatao she was fighting this back then and me and the boys stopped for a korero by the avacado orchid. good to see the mana still strong. and i hope she gets the support and wins her fight. you got my vote
cuzz i went there after a storm. i feel bad doing it but i took them all.
@a j haha, not just you....
Pania and her mates are thieves, the deal was done between govt and the tribe.
@@torqingheads No, the deal was done between the govt and the govt
This is a turning point for all New Zealander’s with Maori to stand together and protect our Mother Earth Papatuanuku....this sanctuary....this Eden....Ihumātao is alive and is inhabited by its natural nature.....Ihumatao calls for us to protect them......they call us to be obligated as Humans who dwell in partnership with them to do our duty.....to leave this place as sacred . Ihumātao is a sacred place of connection to Papatuanuku a place of journey ..Thank you Pania.....Thankyou again for hearing this voice and sounding it to all of us to hear....Much respect and Love to you all in this journey.....
Thou Shall Not Die.......Ihumātao.....We will protect u......it is our honour to serve our beautiful earth for you will forever care for us....

Maoris are the worst protectors of the land lol.... wheres the Moa ?
@@tubeaddict871 all life is sacred. Our Earth is the life source, Without Earths protectors? We all become extinct. Take the past 150years or so in NZ. Look at the rate of mass extinction of our native animals and trees? And u worry about the moa?.
@@tubeaddict871 "Worst" because of the Moa? Really?
The European belief surrounding animals that were going extinct was to kill them and stuff them so they'd at least remember what they looked like. Imo, they were probably worse.
Powerful comparison between over protected buildings and under protected heritage land. Great job.
Your korero was so powerful Pania!! Kia kaha sis!!
Stand up Aotearoa ! I stand with you, 👍👍👍
AMAZING, Pania. A uncompromising leader for our generation!
Yes our old people need to move aside in this world and leave things to educated younger Maori
I remember the fire in her voice, she is good at this! She really managed to share the heat of her passion. She was the last speaker at this event, but definitely not the least.
Alot of my childhood friends were from there, and still have good friends living there today! Let us know what else we can do to help..
Let us know if they plan on getting jobs and contributing to society.
This is a cause worth fighting for. Shame on Jacinda Ardern for ignoring it.
Never give up Pania this is what you are mean,t to do
Keep fighting the good fight Pania with much local support. A modern day warrior who will not bow and will call out continued colonial racism as demonstrated the protected heritage sites of NZ. Nga mihi atu
Kia ora Pania, strong and factual points raised. Why is our Aotearoa land not given the same heritage value as buildings? Hmm definitely some good points for consideration. Thank you for your mahi and kōrero.
This is absolutely amazing!!!
Tino Pai! Awesome Pania!!
Ae - Pakeha British Colonial Heritage NZ aka Pubs, Sheds, Churches
Pania thanks for all you have done. Strong !
The Manager for Fletcher residential thing is a member of the BOT at Auckland Grammar School. But my support goes straight to maintaining Ihumatao! 🙌
Tena koe Pania thank you for speaking out and standing up for what is right ...
So proud of this sister right here.
I admire your kaha and your determination against all the Capitalists who want to profit off our sacred lands. Kia Kaha Kia Manawanui
You keep going girl. Kia kaha. Full support from people of the Cook Islands.
Ihumātao heritage has far more value to New Zealand than the heritage of the Civic theatre. The Fletcher housing development is not heritage therefore should not be built on heritage land. Ihumātao is irreplaceable and must be saved.
Kia ora Pania,
Thank you for being maori, being a whine toa..
My partner and I, watched a few videos call the bones in the closet, depicting your very story and the ancient historical lands/whenua.
It was created by the archeologist you speak of and how the government of new Zealand shut them down and prohibited them from releasing their findings..
Paimaarire whanau..
I am inspired by your Mana Reo.
This is all happening right now!! Police are there right now... Im going to support on Saturday...
We (pakeha family) are going tonight , this development MUST be stopped
@@dixinormous8539 see you there whanau
@@dixinormous8539 yeah nz has a housing crisis but lets not build houses... real intelligent
@@tubeaddict871 chances are those 480 - homes built will be for refugees the government introduces.
Which =480 million worth of taxes payer's money. Go back to sleep sheepy
@@jasonmanual5397 it's you maoris who voted in jacinda the immigration lover cos you thought benefits would be easier to get...
2yrs on. You go girl..I saw you make your 1st speeches. I saw my cousin frm Waimana start where you started. & told me of the elders didn't want him kicking up fuzz it will only bring them trouble. Fear based troubles on past experience with the police frm whakatane about a century.past.when the majority of us & them never got on. But like they displayed there heavy handed tactics. to the world, there was always that Threat...My cousin never ever gave up. You reminded me of him..he started there. Kia kaha...
.
Much respect my sister. God Bless you.
Kia ora Pania, Thank you for your korero, that was amazing. My whanau and I are supporters of SOUL campaige, a great cause to save Auckland last historic piece of land. Ihumatao 'take a stand, save our land', Kia Kaha, Pania and Whanau.
As a Pouaru to my Taane who is a related to the Raumati whanau, connections to Ihumatao whanau..i thought it only right to help with add ons for Ihumatao whanau........... the 2007 Declaration of Indigenous Rights of first Nations People as back up............. Article 3

Way to go Sis! God Bless🙏
awesome Pania..keep up the fight..as a born and bred Aucklander(jaffa) i tautoko your cause.
fantastic talk, Imagine if they wanted to build a development on Skara Brae ... shifting the focus onto intangible heritage would be a benefit of all of us and future generations.
Lessgoo stand strong brothers and sister🙌🔥💯
Kia kaha Pania KEEP FIGHTING STAND YOUR GROUND THAT GOES FOR YOUR GROUP TOO that is Colonial bastardisation go hard don’t go home keep fighting
Kau mau te wehi e hoa! Kia kaha! Aroha mai ❤❤❤
yes lets prepare united moves to give colonialism its checkmate. everywhere on the sacred globe. voicing is stronger than voting, so thank you for voicing loud enough to reach our lowlands coasts!
Solid my kaz
Tau kē !!. I remember watching her regarding this injustice a few years back. I thought than this young wahine toa is someone to watch out for...kia kaha Pania and Co.
After the Christchurch Earthquake in 2011, many people in Christchurch who saw behind the scenes how Fletcher operated, myself included, became disillusioned by Fletcher's practices. The Govt just threw money at Fletchers !!. Because Keys Govt and his politicians; Brownie for example, had interests within that company. Fletcher only care about themselves and nothing else...haere atu Fletcher !!
Great speech.🥝
🙏
Nga mihi e hoa mā!
This is emotional

Ataahua. Tautoko te kaupapa. Kia kaha to you and to all the kaimahi who are out in the trenches fighting to save an amazing historical heritage. Xx
Wow, in tears.
Beautiful korero, does anyone know what the song is called that pania sings at the end ❤

Kia Kaha Pania! Ka mau te wehi - we need more rangatahi like you to challenge Fletchers Me whawhai tonu tatou!
💗💗✊
🙌🏿🙌🏿
Kia Kaha Pania and whanau protecting Ihumatao
The hokianga is with you Pania" nga ra te mea rangatira"
Thank you Pania.
Ka Nui te Kaha o te wahine nei 💪
You are 👍great
30 million dollars was taken from the kiwibuild fund (a fund to build affordable homes) and was used to stop 480 homes from being built on private land. Private land that was supposed to be protected from being claimed with the massive treaty payouts. WTF?
This is correct. Private land, adjacent to Ihumatoa, and Maori were set to benefit. People living at the site are illegal squatters, don't be fooled. Dangerous woman! And guess what, it was handed to them.
@@chchwoman9960 Just the start.
@Robin Tamihere But they agreed to take the settlement. This should all be over by now.
@Robin Tamihere If the state confiscated my home 200 years ago I would be long dead and would not be in any position to claim compensation. The thieves and the victims are long since dead. Its time to move on. They arent just picking at a scab. they are cutting a new wound. How much extra tax are you willing to pay to raise the money to buy the land to 'give back?'
One word humanity
💪❤️
Aue ,E tangi ana te ngākau Mo koutou , Mo tatou ❤
MANA!
Man pania is a bangin chick
Awesome :)
Massive Pania!
Is she from Ihumato or is she helping to fight the cause for Ihumato kainga?
Her ancestors were the ones whom landed on Ihumatao before Christopher Columbus discovered the USA, so yes she is from there ..
Well then she needs to ask Tainui why they agreed with the deal. They knew about it. Thats the problem with rangatahi these. Whakaputa mohio...
@@tekaha7152they took the land without consent, hence the stand off .
@@michellejane9092 Well the Kingitanga seemed pretty calm and algud about it. If its Tainui, then let THEM sort it. Besides, Maori don't know how to look after anything. They can't even unite as a people and they never will because they're too egotistic and rip one another off.
Whina Cooper, Te Puea and Eva Rickard were people with many years of experience and great mana and knowledge far greater than Pania. She should NEVER be compared to them either.
Quite frankly, looking at the way Maori are today, Im quite glad our tupuna signed the treaty. If we can't look after our own, how then can we even look after whenua?
Our people have gone to the pits in many ways. Its sad to watch us go down this way...
@@michellejane9092 misinformed stand off more like it
This is a wake up korero, a reconnect the disconnected and give back what was wrongfully taken, truthfully spoken STOLEN.
As Māori this makes me want to become an activist or advocate of sorts.
kia kaha tāu whawhai
❤️💙🇳🇿
Well done
Kia ora mo tou kaupapa tinorangatiratanga..
Kei runga noa atu taua kōrero nei kōtiro! Ka whawhai tonu...

Don't forget protest on mt messenger farkwit bridges wants clear 100 acres going disappear. ..sad tahi nz
I hear you on that one! Save Mt Messenger /Awakino gorge
Never give up this movement.
Where is the big homie nockers. Isn't he from this area.
And just in passing she admitted there is a housing crisis..
Couple of questions:
Did not the tribal eldership sign off this development, not simply the developer and the white man colonialist?
Is there not a housing crisis in New Zealand requiring new housing to increase the availability of new, high quality homes?
Love to hear thoughts.
The land was confiscated by the crown in 1863. Should never have happened. As for housing, we have empty homes all over Auckland. This idea that more homes will fix the housing crisis is bollocks. Not only that, but they can build in other, less historically and culturally significant areas.

@@saitohshihomi5649 Sorry mate, you are going to have to communicate in an understandable way.
I have a few questions too. Is this not ancestral, historical, sacred land? Are human bodies not buried in that land? Should we not fight for what rightfully is ours?
@@leikongb4153
Partially.
Bodies are buried everywhere on the earth.
The practical outworking of that is what is radical.
You go girl Maori first
I stand with you
she is the people and the people we are..ko au ko koe.ko koe ko au..I will never for get that day what she done..for us as a whole...please don't join the government. .you have and can make a different from the whenua..
