Does this bring tears to your pakeha eyes? News from the Rotorua Daily Post: "Child, 2, dies after Rotorua driveway accident, family member steals from doctor trying to save child's life." As hospital staff tried to save the life of a 2-year-old boy run over in a Rotorua driveway, a family member swiped a doctor's two phones and a bank card and went on a spending spree. The child died a short time later but Melissa Herewini (A MAORI) had already taken the bank card to four stores in Rotorua and bought alcohol, food, petrol, phone credit and cigarettes.
I know why this has come up on my phone. It is because of my interests. And things I have been writing about, which correlate with the end of this korero. I was 20 years old with 1 or 2 children when I first started in 1981 doing 2 papers every year or two at Uni. I did not study law, but I did Maori papers and am privileged to have learned from Dr Ranginui Walker, Dr Anne Salmond and others. I am a pakeha and took my 3rd child to Kohanga in 1985- another incredible experience. We learned waiata to perform as well. Another Mum there told me that it never occured to her go to University. It is intriguing what you remember after 38 years. I am amazed at different things that fit into my own views and life. So I am very grateful to have seen this. I didn't really know anything about this wahine before today. But I really loved listening to this. I am glad I set an example to my children to value their father's Tainui roots even thogh he definitely didn't. I am so, so grateful to all the generations of Maori....but am in awe of the people who started Kohanga Reo ( and other things) and managed to turn things around. Thankyou so much for your amazing contribution in Aotearoa, Moana. This was a real thrill to listen to. And it is an incredible thrill to see the revival of te reo and tikanga all around me. I feel the confidence and esteem which I know wasn't noticeable around me when I was young. By the way, as soon as I started getting some grey hair, the rangatahi on Hamilton streets started helping me and checking on me. I noticed a lot of things. I can't believe my luck being on an island with such strong, kind, generous, accepting, forgiving staunch people.
ALOHA PANIA. I WAS WONDERING IF YOUR STARS ON THE ASTROLOGI€AL €HARTS ARE B14 B16?? A SIN€ERE MAHALO NUI LOA FOR SHARING THIS. I LOVE NEW ZEALAND (ATEROA). I AM IN LOVE WITH YOU ALREADY G14 & G18
A windscreen wiper (Commonwealth English) or windshield wiper (American English) is a device used to remove rain, snow, ice, washer fluid, water, or debris from a vehicle's front window. Almost all motor vehicles, including cars, trucks, buses, train locomotives, and watercraft with a cabin-and some aircraft-are equipped with one or more such wipers, which are usually a legal requirement. A wiper generally consists of a metal arm; one end pivots, and the other end has a long rubber blade attached to it. The arm is powered by a motor, often an electric motor, although pneumatic power is also used for some vehicles. The blade is swung back and forth over the glass, pushing water, other precipitation, or any other impediments to visibility from its surface. The speed is usually adjustable on vehicles made after 1969, with several continuous rates and often one or more intermittent settings. Most personal automobiles use two synchronized radial-type arms, while many commercial vehicles use one or more pantograph arms.
The avocado (Persea americana) is a medium-sized, evergreen tree in the laurel family (Lauraceae). It is native to the Americas and was first domesticated in Mesoamerica more than 5,000 years ago. Then as now it was prized for its large and unusually oily fruit.[3] The tree likely originated in the highlands bridging south-central Mexico and Guatemala.[4][5][6] Its fruit, sometimes also referred to as an alligator pear or avocado pear, is botanically a large berry containing a single large seed.
Once you find the right mix or a better plastic becomes available it will be amazing what you will achieve The most expensive Patu is the plastic one it's well over 100 year's old it was made before plastic was even a thing. We received it back it's priceless and it's also extremely beautiful.
Waka is the highest point of technological innovation of our Maori history. So wonderful to see the flame is still burning.. Maori pride these are the things that make us... And I agree the old master's would of used any new tech to achieve the job.. So good to see the young sister be accepted Aroha Guy's.. ATUA Bless Maori ⚖️ Jeebus 🙏
It´s common knowledge that maori had not discovered metals before the Europeans arrived in New Zealand. The wheel was discovered around 3500 BC. Had maori discovered the wheel before the Europeans arrived in New Zealand or were they not that far with their technological inovations there either?
Quite a history about the Maori - put the Inca's or the Aztecs to shame in degeneration. Outcast from the Cook Islands during the 13th century as weaker primitive Neolithic people by later waves of Polynesians (Maori were from the original wave of primitive Polynesians pushed right out across the Eastern Pacific by successive stronger more advanced groups arriving from the west). They were outcast on rafts and some floated to the North East Coast of NZ driven by the South Equatorial Current and were stranded for 500 years. The weaker were pushed down to the South Island or Chathams etc. So the South Island Maori (had their own language) were the weakest of the weak. They were captured and eaten as 'Slave flesh' by the northern Maori doing raids. (Well they all ate each other - 80% of Maori pre European were dark skinned easily fattened slaves farmed and eaten by a lighter skinned 'Ariki' thin wiry elite royal caste). So it was with some righteousness as well as British cunning that they armed the southern Maori who then with muskets launched a genocidal war on the north.. That plus measles & flu halved the Maori population and removed most of the elite. The British then liberated the slaves and outlawed cannibalism. The northern Maori fought with the British against the south bad west Maori 'rebels'. The Maori sued for peace and a treaty was signed that removed all sovereignty and made them subjects to the English crown where the English would protect them from each other. Land could only be sold to or via the Crown. Maori could live on their reservations with native custom but none did. The treaty of Waitangi is strikingly clear in that the Maori cede sovereignty completely and become citizens of Great Britain - all 3 clauses lock that in. Nothing in today's 'Maori' culture is authentic. The music - all European (Maoris did not have tonal music, the songs are missionary tunes or introduced - Poi dance is from Islands and Stick dance from old Malaya. The carvings and art - all European - Arabesques that was the fashion at the time. Original Maori had limited dash carving and no painting of objects. No written language - all the syntax & grammar plus vowel inflection is European. No technology - some lagoon canoes and wood or stone Neolithic tools. No food sources - like pigs or crops - they left that all behind, all they had was a weak inbred fox (now extinct), some rats and a weak dismal pacific yam. They ate out all the bird-life including 10 species of Moa and 46 other bird species, didn't know how to farm the sea as were island people and so they turned to societal cannibalism. Today - no full blood or half blood left. No genuine tradition and almost all are offspring of Maori slave females sold to white settlers for muskets or food. -So more fake than the 'Sioux' or 'Cherokee' or 'Crow' who had at least retained some genuineness about who they were and their history. -Everything you 'saw or experienced' is fake. A totally convected disneyfied tokenistic set of inventions fueled by a grievance culture of mixed-race imposters fetishing a false past bad history because it pays benefits.

Peoples did not spread and thrive in new lands by being pushed there because they were weak. That’s a lie that imperialists tell themselves to excuse their inhumanity.
@@ReiSpitz You're the one spewing this shit so the burden of proof is on you, and your pack of white professors and anthropologists don't count ... if we're not telling the story ... it's not our story !!
A very beautiful story of pride of doing what the kaupuna of the pacific have done and are still doing. Mahalo Nui for working form the heart to produce a Va’a that teaches and heals the past and plants seeds for the future. We are all one in the Va’a. Aloha Gil Donnelly
I wont to learn my Brother... We will build the Waka of ATUA For NZ and we will build one for Australia to sit in the Paramata River docked in the stretch that is on Maori land. Gifted to the Maori 700 plus years before Captain Cook arrived... Approx 100 hundred acres We want it BACK. Hi Frank be seeing you soon Maggot🖕
As white person of this land I am so grateful for the wisdom our Māori brothers and sisters share. To see this wisdom nurtured and passed down the generations is beyond special. Thank you for sharing this video!
Ngati Tupaware.....plastic whakaaro, plastic Maori, you said it yourself in not so many words "didn't want to contaminate the mana of the waka tuturu by allowing it to set out in their company"
Wow awesome video I hope this hi tech machinery can assist us in whakairo it is the carver or artist that give an object its spirit I hope it doesn’t one day replace the carver.
I keep looking for videos of all this being done but with stone tools, and I'm still looking. That Polynesian made ocean going canoes with stone tools is important part of the history, it is a such a skillful craft to preserve and show. But it is almost never shown.
i have been struggling with how to tell my grandchildren that there are people who are going to hate you because you are maori, but i want to prepare them for what they will eventually encounter, I'm dreading the day they feel sad for just being them
@@kevenwatson6443 Our mokopuna should never feel sad for who they are. Your support and guidance along with the rest of your whanau and having knowledge of their whakapapa should arm them for whatever they might have to deal with.
@drinkingup Kiaora ra after a year of reading stuff like this I know now just how bad the racism is in our country I knew it was out there just didn't realize how bad this is the perfect platform for cowards too just make up a name and away you go that's how I explain it to the mokos now, just faceless cowards
