Thank you for leaving the comments on. If we believe in NZ and love NZ, we are all one and we are all equal and we all deserve to be looked after and treated equally.

AROHAMAI WHANUA LIKE OUR MAORI KING SAID KOTAHITANGATA WE ARE ALREADY ONE PEOPLE...ALREADY UNITED ❤️ WHAT WE NEED IS LEADERSHIP FROM ALL OUR UNITED CHIEFS OF AOTEAROA ALONGSIDE KINGI TUHEITIA ALSO 2 LEAD THE WAY 4 US ALL 🌿

Wish someone had thought up years ago about ensuring te tiriti o waitangi to not be changed/altered/redefined so we wouldnt be in this predicament now that we are on this subject what else can we think of to further protect our constitution

God bless this great man from your brothers and sisters in England.

Thank you for the wonderful today being a full pakeha but my daughter possibly has maori blood via her dad it was lovely to be amongst you all. God richest blessings on you all and will keep praying for things to go well with what is ahead. Yes I know I to I am a part of the Treaty to and I learnt much about the Treaty today and are so proud to part of you all.

Winston is the Best ❤ Winston is my Leader 🎉

Kotahitanga United we Stand

Pride in raising children correctly would be a great start.

Tautoko❤

If someone says "we are elite because of our whakapapa (geneology)" thats like white supremacy but inverted to maori supremacy

Never mind the treaty sort out and focus on maori issues crime ,prison and poverty as Tangata Te whenua maori should be showing an example to others

Kia ora ❤

😂😂😂 its the maori joe Biden 😂😂☑️☑️

Kotahitanga ❤️

What a stunning orator. "You can't change nothing." Brilliant. "Just be Maori". This writes itself.

What I love the most about this hui is that Maori have demonstrated that we are more than capable of uniting when the need arises. This is something that those in parliament will NEVER do, and have NEVER done... Maori have united...while the govt officials continue to stand in the chambers and argue like spoiled children.

Rest easy Koro, I wish I knew you.

Pride comes before a fall.. and if Maori are the most forgiving people how come they are still holding a grudge. They should be working with the government in order for ALL OF US to move forward. Not be holding resentments that hold US ALL BACK from moving forward. In fact why did the king not go to parliment and speak directly to the parliamentarians.

BRAND MAORI in full display

“Elite Maori” is an oxymoron. The word Maori means ‘ordinary’. “Elite ordinary.”

Love u and ur mama

I grew up learning Te Reo from my primary school teacher Mrs Walton who was Māori. Jeez she was awesome! Taught us the language when it wasn’t even part of the curriculum lol! She snuck it in! I live in Japan now, and I speak several languages (thanks to Mrs Walton) But she also taught us kids to listen. Knowing what happened to many Maori over the years, with land confiscation and racist laws that outlawed culture, who wouldn’t be upset with this government.

Great Speech with smiles as well.😊

I'm Pakeha, Maori people are the heart and spirit of this country. I wish people would learn from them.

Go get a job

Even if the world can’t see us, that’s their loss. We see us and that’s all that matters.

Godbless you Kingi Tuheitia

❤

So proud to be Maori

The comments you'll find on videos like this are a perfect example why ultimate power for Maori would be dangerous. Nothing but hatred for others and the dehumanization of other races, mixed with a fanciful delusion of oppression.

Find it interesting that all the anti Māori people hiding behind their keyboards think theyre united. In actual fact there were thousands of Pākeha and foreign Tangata Tiriti who came in support 😊

Claim our unclaimed lands kingitanga

💙

Need to look at who is the agreement between on the treaty. IwI's and the crown.

do not listen to a king who pledges allegiance to another king as this one did at King Charles coronation, he does not understand anything. One NZ, one people, one set of rights for all. That is the way to peace, that is the way forward. Maori as an elite, no thank you. All the best NZ

Whos had a good kick up the ass to let us now comment on OUR state Media channel?

They are not elite, they are all part maori.

1 news AKA Te Karere News

Kiaora whānau I understand what he is saying I respect that

thank you Kingi Tuheitia

We All Are One We Are The Same People All Over The World 🤗

This country is segregated and we need a way forward...

He's awesome 👍🏻 & yes the world is watching and inspired

Te kingitanga Kōtahitanga Mana Motuhake Paimārire 🖤❤️🤍🖤❤️🤍

Morningside for life

Great to see Māori coming together.., joining with and attending to their King👍

💜😎💜

Mana māori 🖤🤍❤️

The Peace Treaty (The Peace Treaty Of Waitangi) was initiated by the British Crown simply because the British Military couldn't genocide, conquest or conquer the Northern Maori of the 18th century. Ngapuhi was a force to be reckoned with. They butchered the British Military, amputated there bodies and cooked them in a hangi. Those cheifs who did die and spilled blood in battle defending there land culture and family died an honourable death. They paid with there lives and paid in full with there blood. So dont ever think those warrior chiefs bowed down or surrendered sovereignty, sold there souls to a foreign king or queen in England. Dont ever think or believe those warrior chiefs defended and died for there land culture and family to bow down or surrendered sovereign to a foreign king. Dont ever think those warrior chiefs who paid with there blood cede sovereignty to a foreign entity. Those warrior chiefs ate and killed there enemies. Dont ever think or believe those warrior chiefs bowed down to a foreign entity. Those Chiefs welcomed a partnership to work together with British Crown to share power and resources and new technology. Pakeha to govern there own people and Maori to govern there own people. That never happened. The British government took power, wealth and government control by 100%. Hone Heke cut the British flag pole down to symbolize that the treaty was a fraudulent contract being misinterpreted. To those who think Ngapuhi cede sovereignty to the British Crown and military better get a reality check. When you kill butcher and eat your enemy, dont ever think thats an act of ceding sovereignty, to bow down or surrender, to be fearful or be afraid. Dont ever think those warrior chiefs sold there souls to a foreign king and queen. NEVER!!!!! ake ake Amen. They died honourable to defend there land culture and family.

"Maori all day ... every day ..." 🤎

HEI KINGI

Well I am literally sovereign and I agree we need peace in NZ after that Jahitler Mutdern....

Rest in peace now Kingi. Our country mourns your lost and so does our kingitanga. You were so funny when it came to us Maori.

Enable Closed Captions please.

Kia ora

why is he not speaking in te reo

Of course, words like 'kingi' and 'tiriti' are appropriations form the English language.... without the English language to help define and contextualise all of these things, where would Te Reo be??

Māori All Day, Everyday, We are here and we are strong! Kotahitanga

Tena koe Kiingi Tuheitia, my what an amazing Tokotoko😚😚

The 1835 Declaration of independence is what we should be focusing on. We have full autonomy and are th HEADS OF STATE PERIOD!!!!!

He sent a strong message ? 0.2 percent of the country turned up . Secondly , why does he keep temporarily break into cuzi bro language lol

Arohanui ❤

Hae Kiingi

❤🖤🤍

Tutangata

Is this the man that David and Winston didn't want to meet? He sounds very reasonable to me. They can't be serious about their referendum then if they aren't willing to meet iwi leaders and the Kiingi.

Omg

A great speech

We are all dirty rotten sinners who practice every form of wickedness, idolatry and perversion - and who refuse to surrender to Jesus Christ who is Lord of all Lords, and King of all Kings, and to whom everyone of us will give an account with regards whether or not we have bowed every area of our lives to HIM. So long as we wave our fists at God, we will NEVER EVER be satisfied with life and we will always be in conflict with each other. So God would remind us all that " Today is the day of salvation and so long as we continue to harden our hearts towards HIM, there will always be conflict of every form. There will never be peace among us all, until we bow our lives to Jesus Christ who is the PRINCE of ALL PEACE and LORD of ALL LORDS and KING of ALL KINGS. Tas Collier

Zero respect for this truck driver from huntly and king of the maoris what an oxymoron crazy clown show ................crack up

Hes an istalled king 😂, Not even a true king , dosen't even represent all iwi ,

I cannot belive the racist vitriol against Maaori here. If you don't value and respect Maaori, you do not belong here. The extension of kindness in the Treaty to allow Tauiwi to stay here should be revoked for all the Maaori bashers.

Kupe is the great navigator and the oldest bloodline in Aotearoa. Kupe is the king of the North and the first man to ever step foot on Aotearoa!

This country is doomed

Chur to much unx

Express your culture speak in Moari! Oh wait no one over 50 botheres to learn it.

Aaaaaahhhhhrahhhhhhh

Ka aroha they are trying to erase Maori in all ways and we will not put up with it.

Change is coming.

He aha to kingi i kore ai e korero i te reo maori? He aha te tikanga o te elite maori ki ta ratou whakaaro he mea nui ratou ki te WEF o te ao?What Maori king speaking pakeha language to maori? Really global type elite maori? Not right I had to learn to speak te reo maori to mainly pakeha children. Should not maori at least only use te reo to themselves?

The British have bred out NZ Maori a tactic they have used many times in colinsation 😢

The message is Maori ceded sovereignty, and sold 92% of New Zealand 🇳🇿 by 1865, you can't steal it back.

JESUS IS THE ANSWER....HE NEVER LOSES A BATTLE ...MAORI PEOPLE HAVE LOST THE BATTLE

Maori is part of new zealand. government should not be racist towards maori

“Live for yourself and you will live in vain; Live for others, and you will live again.” - Bob Marley

Winston is the real Maori King , even those that dont vote for him respect him , maori or non maori respect him and hes a superb role model , stop your complaining democracy has spoken

Can't believe that at least one of the 3 pm's didn't even show up Just shows the dis respect them azzholes have toward Maori custom and traditions.

If we "MAORI" will Repent of our Sin & Rebellion against the MOST HIGH GOD ALMIGHTY & Repent of Our Ancestors Idol Worship "THE GOD OF CREATION WILL HEAR OUR PRAYERS FROM HEAVEN" and Fight for us ....Where there is UNITY GOD COMMANDS A BLESSING ❤ *AMEN Come Yeshua Ha-MaShiach* ❤

Winston needs to earn respect not demand it by bullying and attacking

Did anyone else immediately notice the fake background? It's a matte screen that they use in movies.

“There’s no principles”. You got that right, including this bullshit claim of partnership. Additionally, I find it hilarious that Māori feel that they have exclusive rights to the Treaty. And everyone knows the Kīngitanga movement was created in opposition to the Treaty. In fact, many of the king country chiefs did t even sign it.

😢One thousand yrs what have we built in all that time a 😂mud floor hut tribal war fare murdered 2000 moriori peaceful people that most were eaten the great Moa bird hunted and eaten ngapuhi tribes biggest iwi of all learnt fast to win is to have weapons yes the musket ,, utu is Maori law thank ABRAHAM S actions and faith he obeyed All mighty GOD and was blessed with all the best of futile lands for all generations we as Maori have being blessed when we were colonised ,, and given a chance to change from our uncivilized ways ,, to be educated to no all mighty GOD who has no repect for any man who breaks his laws ,, TE HEI MAORI ORA Manakiroto AROHANUI to all our Maori whanau ,,😝😛🤪

Just lol uhuh yea right

The Maori Battalion is one of the strongest Military Forces on planet earth. Then why do you believe pakeha? that you have complete ownership and control over us? What made you think? that we sold our souls to you? That we handed our land, culture and all our wealth and resources so freely to you? while we suffer for 200 years under a misinterpreted peace treaty contract. Those Warrior Chiefs of the 18th century didnt have an abstract concept of the english language let alone what the word 'SOVEREIGNTY' really meant? We only just encountered you pakeha we only just met you? To fully understand the english and maori language was not possible? We understood actions and good deeds. Your actions spoke louder than words. All we understood was 'MANA and POWER' For us to surrender? back down? Or throw the towel in wasnt even a consideration? You cheated us through a fraudulent peace treaty contract via misinterpretation of two different languages. After the signing of the contract. You arrested Maori land owners and confiscated there lands while you held them in prison. When Hone Heke had witnessed your present actions. He said thats not allowed? You cant imprison a Warrior Chief and steal his land for no reason? And so Hone Heke ended the contract by cutting down your british flag. So straight away what you thought and what we thought about the newly signed contract wasnt what each side truly thought because of language misunderstanding. And by Hone Heke expressing his actions by cutting the british flag down 3 times was to symbolise and prove by his actions that there was a misunderstanding and we have terminated this peace treaty contract therefore so forever and ever Amen! To cut down or burn your flag down is a direct insult to your King, crown and military. That means end of any partnership, treaty or friendship. To prison a Warrior Chief who has tribal rights as Rangatira status and then confiscate his land? Was a direct insult to Maori Chiefs and tribal rights. You cant tell me by there actions on both sides that Maori and Pakeha misunderstood eachother? If Maori were happy with the actions of pakeha and what was happening around them then Hone Heke wouldnt of cut the flag pole down with an act of insult? Instead if pakehas actions were good then Hone Heke would of embraced the british flag because he was happy with what he could see and what was happening around him. Hone Heke was not happy and he was one of the main Chiefs that encouraged the Treaty. Thats how i know there was a misunderstanding of language communication regarding the treaty. What we meant is not what you meant. Do you now understand pakehaa!!!
