- He describes himself as colonised, yet stood four times for parliament. Tame Iti is a teetotalling, vegan, cyclist and doting koro - a former radio DJ with a thing for house music. Moana Maniapoto sits down with him in this special little interview.
So incredibly happy to see Tame is getting the recognition he deserves and sharing his story through his beautiful art. Only met him twice, once when he knocked on our door (in Ponsonby) looking for his sons girlfriends house, next door. And again later when he was incarcerated (it was for the Tuhoe raids). Not a tall man but he exudes mana and had a very peaceful aura actually. Was there the same time as Yakuza members…couldn’t help noticing the similarities. Small stature and many body tattoo. Was an impressive day for me. Please treasure and protect Tame. Record his stories well for future generations by which time Te Reo Maori has been normalised in Aotearoa. 🥰🥰
Really like her style of interviewing ,laid back , not trying to be confrontational for the sake of it .
Much aroha to Tame Iti.. He's such a leader of change from the colonial masters. An inspiration to Maori for his courage and determination to put things right.
Tame Iti was my cell mate in the mid 90s Kia Ora brother
Really. He’s quite a funny guy. Very likeable.
Are you proud of that
Does he say his wrestler name was ‘pussy stomp’ ?!??

You are a gifted person to help us see the hate that happened to moari
When you have been assaulted robbed and had a vehicle stolen by one of them things and never had a apology or compensation you can see how I feel about the
The hate that happened to Maori… I’m part Māori and I haven’t seen that I’ve seen hate towards pakeha and it needs to stop. Tama is a racist and that’s that.
Thanks to MSM I grew thinking Tame Iti made Maori look bad and was just a trouble maker, I’m happy I now know he was fighting for Maori. I’ll never forget what you really did for us Matua, thank you from The Kaipara✊🏾👌🏾✌🏾🤙🏾
Beautiful. Thank you - great interview. Tama Iti constantly inspiring.

Paranoid that’s what my father used to say and it’s a smokescreen for the real racism against pakeha.
Get real
@@Alain-q8c totally real I was bought up with this shit.
Yes...😊
That is special
He hautipua a Tame nō te Ao Māori, he taniwha hikuroa, he matakahi maire e wawahi nei i ngā mahi porohewa a ngā Kawanatanga, he kaituruki o te Tiriti o Waitangi - #ToiTūTeTiriti
❤
Sounds like someone was Gossiping
Love your tamoko
😊
People made me ashamed to be moari our whole family were treated like that we can't speak our language now I should American
I was born in Australia and I take big pride in my maori ancestry. Never been made feel that way here other than some other maori boys growing up picking on me for looking like a dark skinned white boy 🤣
Nah G. I'm Tuhoe and they've always been staunch! They tried to kill and stifle the language but Te Reo Maori has to much Mana👍.
God save kaumatua
Pakeha good with imagining negative thoughts regarding Maori when the murder of the Christchurch shootings 2018 was their color from across the ditch. But that's okay to them.
I live on land that used to belong to the maoris. The maoris will never get it back. It is a great feeling to live on land that used to belong to the maoris knowing that the maoris will never get it back😂😂😂😂😂
@@ourpeople-g7r you are ignorant. Not to mention evil incarnate. U know 🚫 nothing
Hey shirley Temple🤣🤣
I'm part moari I think everyone's a thief to us they want things moari own and belong to sad you were jailed for being who you are that was discussting you were treated like that I was made to believe I was mental or crazy when we were victum to people who were jealous of our people I was isolated too
Are moari victum to the system that wants what we have and belong too
Should listen to everything in the video and you’d have your answer
Granted he does sound like a numbnut.But his heart is in the rite place.
You mean ‘right’ place. He may have a slight speech impediment, I’m not sure but it doesn’t make him a ‘numbnut’. If you listen to him, he articulates some interesting points.
@@timeforchange6654 I'm so sorry professor numbnuts.rite place rong time
Just an attention seeker
Nga mihi ki a koe Tama mo o whakaaro
