The real crime is creamed paua and chips for $20, tuwharetoa and we got the tree lords deal, haven't seen a cent, no biggie

5.27 wife quickly jumping in before the husband says something stupid😂😂😂

Gang members shouldn't be walking around talking about Maori empowerment when they deal with drugs that disproportionately affect low income families and people which are majority Maori and pacific islander.

If nothing else jumping off the wharf is a universal human experience in Northland

The land doesn't belong to us, we belong to the land. We are the land and the land is us.

Good lord!!! Sad to hear what fellow NZ think about Aotearoa. And 2 of them sounded fresh off their ships.

Thankyou for this awesome vid guys. I am so grateful to have grown up around Maoritanga as a Pakeha.

The last minute, that edit was 🔥🔥 Quality reporting guys, well done.

Great Journalism thankyou. As a Maori Matua I couldn't believe the victim mentality. My mother is like that, she has a brand new home which she owns, heatpump, all the bells and whistles, and I have to remind her on occasion what she has, rather than listen to her complain about what she doesn't have. She's in her 80s, Maori and has everything she needs. But she can play the victim, and I don't put up with it.

you lads do incredible work

Awesome video my brother🎉🎉🎉😢😢😢 thanks so much for making this

love your style of journalism

Matua's message at 7:10 to those wanting to scrap the Treaty: "Careful what you wish for"

Thank you for this video bro! I wish i found this earlier :)) great coverage from both sides

We can not deny the fact we have walked in the shoes of white mans society for 200 years and i am calling myself to task to make sense of this type of activism, as of today we have way too much mixed blood both on my pakeha and maori side to believe we should co govern , my concept to which i think makes more sense is an equitable partnership governance, where maori are consulted on what affects us ,as well as our mixed blood relatives outside new zealand and within ,,,,,i do believe that the wrongs written within the interpretation of the treaty be addressed maori was deceiced by the colonisers but not the crown ,wakefeild was a criminal yet he was still with the backing of rich people able to confiscate land from maori using our rebelllion as a sign of defiance against the queen ,yet the queen herself gave assurance within that treaty that maori could live in peace" te rongo me te ata noho "which is written into the preamble of that text, but if you look at those assurances against what they actually gave us speaks volumes to the deceptions perpetrated on maori,,,,so what did those colonisers give us ,this was alcohol addiction ,tobacco addiction,debauchery syphilis, gonerea ,typhoid ,scurvy,and the flu ,these were not the protections of an intergrated system. Of power sharing ,but rather a decimation and an ethnic cleansing of a savage people by the colonisers , all those tipuna wanted was for those colonisers to honour what the queen had decreed ,,,this is why we fight for the retention of our way of life ,,redress those wrongs first than look to re interpreting or founding new articles based on the treaty ,,,,new zealand parliament needs to be made up of both maori concepts and pakeha law ,,like i quoted earlier i don't see the need for co governance just an equitable partnership solution where both parties come together over the negotiation table share data ,debate merits to a proposal ,and finalise a consensus of opinion and close with an adopted resolution ,mmmnot rocket science

Far out you got to interview my nan bro i haven’t seen her in years 😂

Another fantastic video, keep up the amazing work! I was shocked at the fella on the beach saying he reckons Maori would have died out if it weren't for colonization, as if the Maori didn't know how to live off the land! Some textbook white saviour complex there...

Mauri Ora with a crip hand sign. Says it all really.
