Here is early signs of the rotten Maori culture. The rotten people. Look at what has happened now in 2024 still in denial, still excuses, still BS and blaming everyone else accept looking at themselves. And now they blame the great people of NZ today who have made a great country. Now the nasty people are trying to tear down and divide NZers. We see the rot has set into some mainstream media the show tv1, stuff media and some of rNZ national radio. We see the new brown privileged rasist in the Treaty Tribunal and the iwi who will waste their money on lawyers and court while their people line up at Foodbanks in a recession. They missed the mark, it's simply they do it to themselves and now have started their abuse on Europeans.
I would so love to meet this man, I have been writing my life story for over 15 years now from when I was born in 1963 , it has a lot of similar episodes to his , and I think too it would make a good movie, I hope one day it would , As he has shown ....dreams can come true, What a great man Cliff Curtis is., thank you for sharing your story Cliff.
Maori will always blame other's and not take responsibility for their actions, Māori like to twist things around and play the race card if they don't get their way, I've heard Maori blame pakeha for whanau molesting other whanau member's saying it's the pakeha's fault for introducing alcohol to Māori which they claim created Māori pedophiles 🤦 Maori just can't take responsibility they rather sweep it under the carpet and blame pakeha.
The Moriori are the indigenous race of New Zealand. The Maoris found them in the central North Island area and killed them, and chased a few survivors down to the South Island. When they escaped further to the Chatham Island the Maori could not go after them because they had left their canoes back up near Blenheim. Recently the New Zealand Government passed a new law giving the Moriori recognition and compensation, and most importantly, an apology. The Maoris actually came from the highlands of Taiwan, with a full TVNZ News Investigation going over all the historical records of reference by island nations all around the Pacific Ocean, and the investigation included DNA sampling from everywhere. The Taiwanese DNA is a perfect match. Despite all the evidence, Maori still claim to be the indigenous natives of New Zealand, and claim that the Moriori were just a sub-tribe of the Maori race. The big problem with that opinion is that the 2 DNA types of Maori and Moriori are completely different and nowhere remotely similar let alone close enough to claim that it was a slight possibility. This was actually said to be "totally impossible" by one of the scientists in the documentary that was made. Unfortunately, most Maori today believe that they are the original race that found "Aotearoa" and this helps them reinforce their opinion that "Aotearoa" belonged to them until the "Pakaha" British invaders took it off them. They recently called for their own Parliament and laws, and a name change from New Zealand, to "Aotearoa" A recent poll showed that a vast majority of New Zealanders have become very tired of the constant demands made by a small number of the Maoris, and Legal action over multiple Maoris only organisations and government departments, housing, education, and other taxpayer funded but Maoris only identities has been started. The Maoris only "Te Pati Maori" political party is a prime example of the racism that is highly visible and happening in New Zealand. Maori never had any written communication methods until the Europeans arrived, and then they took the english alphabet and used that for not only written communication, but also their sounds of spoken communication. Most of their words are exactly the same as the english language, with exactly the same meanings as well.
How ridiculous to question a Kui and tell her is it time for her to go that her nephew says it is. What a bunch of rude dick heads both willie and her nephew. Questioning our Kui like you a ball-head. What have you done for the maori people willie. You've done nothing but receive a good paycheck. You have done nothing you hypocrite! She is doing Maori not ball-head and your at her like a ball-head a colonised mowri ball head LOL. You are a fool.
Brother... made my day when this appeared on you tube... A blessing for the day much needed, nothing to do with algarithm. Youre awesome Cliff. Whakawhetai koe Nga Mihi Nui.
Yup us White kids got it too 4Real ... but not that Bad eh me it was only a few wacks of the alatheen pipe from the cow shed . the kids who sat next to me at school got thrashed with the Jug cord ... way worse ❤ were still standing ❤🎉🎉🎉 I love my Dad and cut his toe nails for him ❤😂🎉
I worked at Gisborne McDonald's when cliff made the movie dark horse when I met him. They were filming in treble court . He didn't stay in a flash hotel in town but stayed in a campervan, we were dumb founded at how humble this man was. He sat with me on my smoke break and down played his fame.
I heard stories about my grandmother being a tough old lady growing up Maori in a small town north of Gisborne. They used to sing songs about her at the parties. She used to get beatings from my grandfather and then when he was drunk she would give him a good hiding. She was also the toughest woman in the town. Nobody messed with her. Unfortunately she used to beat my father's siblings badly. She wasn't hard on my father because his father treated him like a punching bag and a slave. My father went on to beat me when I did something wrong but like Cliff said it was normal. I forgave my father when I got older. Forgiveness is hard but it also sets you free
All our childhoods were difficult back in the 50s60s and beyond,not only home life,but schooling as well, won't believe the shite we had to put up with being Maori,sad nothing's changed
Hard work is good for the soul. My parents were the most beautiful parents on the planet and spoiled every one of us. However ,when it came to work gardening cow milking all kids had to work hard .especially my older brothers.
From playing the part of a Colombian drug lord to a chicano homie to Jesus Christ what a cool body of work you have brother, karawhuia maori boy ... too much e hoa kia mau te wehi.
I feel Your "Early Memorie's" Cliff Curtis. Not being of Maori descent but Kiwi born in the '60's Life was Borderline Traumatic for some Young n look up to the Senior Family member's but Eventually we do our best to change what we Endured. "Best Healer's Are The One's Who Heal Themselve's"...Much Respect to You Brother🍺💜
I’ve never looked Cliff Curtis up on Google or anything as I’m from home and thought that would be a bit prying. I’m glad I came across this albeit 9 years later.
Inspiring, glad you stayed and didn’t leave e hoa, such a beautiful man with a beautiful story. You shattered the ceiling for Māori in the Arts of theatre and movie acting, and I’m sure many Māori are and will for generations to come, be able to follow your pathway, a Trendsetter for our people, Tihei Mauri Ora !
A golf ball is a ball designed to be used in golf. Under the rules of golf, a golf ball has a mass no more than 1.620 oz (45.9 g), has a diameter not less than 1.680 inches (42.7 mm), and performs within specified velocity, distance, and symmetry limits. Like golf clubs, golf balls are subject to testing and approval by The R&A (formerly part of the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews) and the United States Golf Association, and those that do not conform with regulations may not be used in competitions.
South Westland is in the Rohe of Waitaha, Kati Mamoe. The Tribal boundary goes from Big Bay on the west coast through to Oamaru and has never been nullified, which means that it is still active. If Bevan can whakapapa to south Westland then he does have a right to that resource, NOT ngai tahu.
When he said 'that was normal... no big deal...' about domestic violence was hard to understand. I come from a totally different background. I am sorry for Cliff and to all others who lived through that.
