[PG] Mokomoko was a prominent Māori Chief of Te Whakatōhea Iwi in Ōpōtiki, in the 1860s. He was born into a legacy and the role of a Leader. He dedicated his life in protecting his land and people. Known for his intellect, Mokomoko was well versed in trading and exporting produce to Auckland & NSW. In addition, he had secured land which connected to one of the most sought-after ports in Aotearoa.
The 1860s was a trying time for Māori in Aotearoa. People were trying to adapt to a new system led by Queen Victoria and her government, which intended to obtain Māori land for settlers.
Mokomoko was well educated in the land confiscations happening in the North Island and the land wars. People corresponded through letters, delivering information about the wars and the rise of religion. A group known as Paimarire or hauhau were causing unease to pakeha settlers, bringing about rejection of Christianity and distrust of missionaries over their involvement in acquiring Māori land. There was growing concern amongst the people. As more land had been taken over, battles continued to erupt between Māori and The Crown.
Made with the support of Te Māngai Pāho.
I was born in NZ and spent a lot of time with Māori when I was a younger pakeha boy
The spoken language is very familiar to my ear as I know many conversational words and phrases but piecing the language together eludes me.
Every few words I get the gist of the conversation and try to read between the lines but lack flow.
If we had subtitles to fill in the gaps of understanding it’d go a long way soak up the essence.
Appreciated Kia Ora
Love that ❤
You sound more maori than me, lol. I'm a direct descendants of 8 very noble Maori bloodlines, including paramount chiefs. I'm proud of my Maori lineage, but I was raised in a European world, white privilege, private schooling 🏫 I'm an urban city slicker, but my mum had a taste of both the country and city lifestyle and Maori and European culture growing up. She also attended Queen Victoria Maori girls boarding school in Parnell, when it was considered prestigious and for privaleged Maori. She became seriously involved in Maori affairs when she was in her 30's, highly qualified, well educated, and continues to be involved and she has achieved alot for Maori in general and her hapu's. I have many Maori relatives who were/are dignitaries, deceased and alive. Big deals, including some of my mums positions.
YET.....
I'm glad I was bought up European. I don't feel Maori, dot speak Maori , don't sound Maori, but I am proud of my Maori ancestry and I acknowledge it well. ❤
They cannot retain their own language because maoris are not interested and turn round and blame colonisation, inadequate blame others. WHERE are those who went through full immersion schools. th-cam.com/video/_kWyzghC5Lw/w-d-xo.html.

I'm so rooted to understand other islanders far and near. Pacific islander born and raised and living in the mainland half here and half in Guam. Language, respect, and old ways with today's ways of teachings, taught me the importance of understanding, respecting flows of each kind and have an open mind. There's nothing wrong with sharing ways of life in all ends of the world so as long as culture, religion, and traditions are respect. One Love that's it! ❤
whats the mainland?
I don't speak hardly no maori but I can appreciate that it is a good thing to have content presented entirely in te reo maori!!
You cannot even speak English.
Aotearoa i roto i oku toto !
What an awesome taonga you've all created! Well done! Be proud of yourselves!
My Friend at work is a lighter skin Māori who grew up in Christchurch and she told me of the horrid racism she faced, that the teachers would belittle her, call her names, treat her differently to other kids in her majority white school.
One day her family went to their car and it had the N word graffitied on it and windows smashed.
And old white men would hit on her all the time because of her beautiful green eyes.
When she left her school she went into her classroom and smashed it up as a big FU to the teacher.
She is such a beautiful person inside and out, I’m sorry she experienced that.
For a non maori speaking person trying to understand the culture and heritage. It would be good to have translation titles because I don't understand half of it. Love to come back and watch with translation.
Translation.....not based on actual fact.

Te reo Māori poetry in motion to my ears. Whakatōhea ❤
Thank you. This is the kind of history that should be told more frequently. There should be more documentaries, films, and television shows based on Māori history.
What vegetables did Māori grow?
Māori foods - kai Māori - Te Ara Encyclopedia of New Zealand
When Pākehā settlers arrived in Aotearoa, Māori embraced the new foods they brought, and began cultivating them. These crops included wheat, potatoes, maize, carrots, cabbage and other vegetables. Māori also began raising sheep, pigs, goats and poultry.
Love and respect to NZ from Greece. This is a great video, just wish it had subtitles.

The land belongs to god and always will. We are just temporary residents passing by here today and gone tomorrow. 200 years from now we will not even be a memory to anyone.
only those with ancestors worth forgetting get forgot. Ngati Manu Ngati Kuri.
Bang on God own the world including new Zealand we are all stand before him when our time here is over, so let's leave here together and enjoy it's others is about 160 deferens people live here and pay taxes God bless us all 🙏
Just like Te Rauparaha they WILL know me. Small minds think small things!
RNZ its great to have our true history broadcasted on "mainstream media" positive progression for Maaori
Its our time now, no more false narratives and deception. The true history and events of Aotearoa is unraveling as the tables have turned
Such a beautiful language 🎉🎉🎉😊🎉Love documentary
Hanging out with the cuzzies has always been next level fun they know how to live
Some of you might not accually believe me but the creator of this is accually my cousin
I believe you.
I don't.!!!!
So much hate... jealousy... greed... these people had for Tangata Whenua because of the abundance they had. There are many similar stories all across Aotearoa of those times, how the Crown confiscated Maaori land, raped & murdered its people. thanks for bringing Mokomoko's story to the masses .
Are you really going to pretend guys like Hongi Hika and Te Rauparaha didn't take land that wasn't theirs by force and kill their fair share of people? Would you say Ngati Toa stole the land of what is now Wellington and Nelson or Ngai Tahu taking the south island from Ngati Kuri and many others before? Or does that not count?
Lol
@@antmanatthemoment7233 Of course it matters but the difference is they are Tangata Whenua that's a whole different story. Who's hands is the majority land in now? I know what the crown did to my beautiful ancestors & my ancestral lands for a fact. #Stolen

Thank you for sharing. I remember hearing his name growing up in Ponsonby.
Over 30 years ago i was taught many things by kaumatua regarding Maori languages, culture, legends and history, the Treaty of Waitangi. I saddens me and sickens me the few extremists are prepared to divide, mock, shame, abuse their own people. Culture and history for greed, fame and allow their "feelings " get in the way of facts, majority to move forward with the right intentions. These extremist live in a fantasy land with tunnel vision which undoubtedly could destroy true integrity of Maori in the modern world.
Caretakers of the land can't be stolen if we continue to look after it.
What do you mean I'm not sure if I understand
@@RulerKerrie-AnneMaori never viewed themselves as OWNING the land, in short perspective we belong to the land we do not own it to ideal of owning something that created us come along with the western society.

Thanks for this production.
Very interesting and great to know a lil whakapapa of whakatohea, opotiki..had a friend from there . they donhave Big hearts .
Vengence and bloodshed,put to an end by pakeha,sad but true.

Oh i miss the beautiful Aotearoa.
This land is so beautiful so majestic so many stories I'd like to listen and be taught where did your ancestors orignate from
POLYNESIA.ONLY, four hundred years before Europeans,
thank you for such a great episode.
Ancient Kemet was civilized & estaablished after the deluge (now known as Noah Ark) through Tangaroa (Enki) son Thoth who ruled over the land of Kemet for 16K years, which is recorded by the people of Kemet.
The Hyksos were the first known foriegn rulers of Kemet 1650BCE-1550BCE.
The first known Greek contact into Africa was in the 14 century BCE who eventually studied through the Mystic System & eventually changed the name of Kemet to what is genrally known as Egypt.
I love he sound of this language
Lets see steal it back

Awesome knowledge. ❤. Excellent 👌

I really really appreciate and adore your attire so magnificent
I am of Te Whakatohea, Ngai Tamahaua te hapu. This event is why my people are hostile towards the crown. My ancestor Te Waihaku Ranapia witnessed the crown slaughtering my people, woman, children. We were displaced from our ancestral land @ Ohiwa Beach (now mostly owned by farmers) & put on Opape Beach. Can’t do nothing about it now but this the greed of the White man. I have heard rumors that it was Te Kootis followers that killed Volkner.
I don't understand Maori me coming from Ranfurly but I will learn very quickly being among Mom and Dads family in the north when the time comes a new beginning
Tuhoe access to the sea was never lost because of the battle of maraetotara. It’s a misnomer to say Tuhoe lost when in fact it was only one hapū of Tuhoe that were there. They were assisting ngati Awa and won the battle. The Whakatohea women performed a randy haka and the men dropped their guard and were defeated. Also, the whakatohea boundary here is an over exaggeration. The map goes over waimana kaaku and in to the waikare river. The waimana river was never called that it’s called Tauranga. Get your history right. Treaty settlements cause people to overextend their mana. Honour the tīpuna, but don’t create things that never happened. Remember it was Tuhoe who sheltered a lot of the Whakatohea during the land wars and is evident in whakapapa today. Whakatohea mana in ohiwa grew following 1840s when their people were released from captivity in hauraki and up north.

Lovely documentary
Māori came to what is now called New Zealand on canoes and occupied the land before Europeans came. Māori slaughtered the Moriori who were peaceful people that lived in the Chatham islands, Māori also slaughtered people and ate them.. They said the pakeha tasted salty.
Moriori STILL EXIST TODAY.
Exactly chatham only, mori ori were not peaceful. They were warriors.
Good to see our history being put out there for us to learn. I found this hard to follow, though. Maybe cause I'm just not from this area.
Can't wait to follow the rest of the series and try to learn more

I understand that lands where infact stolen e tika nga korero, but do not generalize migrants that came here BEFORE eg:
fair trade
for whalers
for piracy
for christianity
With those that came after The New Zealand Company was established

@@dub_h7900 oh yes definitely
Exactly. Maori would have wiped themselves out by now without colonisation
No Colonization did nothing for us , that is why we have ongoing Te Tiriti O Waitangi negotiations. So no there's nothing really to Celebrate , the Secular Society seems to think so the " We are all one " in Aotearoa is kinda Cliche
@@alexlee3164 no, the crown was glad they intervened in the musket wars. If the Musket wars were to proceed with no crown intervention then one or two tribes (most likely Ngā puhi) would have unified all the tribes. The crown struggled to beat tribes that they outnumbered 10 to 1 so they would have had ZERO chance to beat a single unified Māori iwi
The treaty wasn't Co Governance that's obvious 😲

I think it's great to tell the stories in the language that they're coming from I'm in awe I believe the people are so very strong and fierce and I would guess they are also humble
Interesting after finding out I have ancestors from New Zealand and from Waikato and from waitangi and from Auckland and from Wellington and from the Cook Islands and I’m from Australia
fun fact chief mokomoko died from accusation and he got hung from being accused of murder so he got hung and after he died well thats when they finnaly found he was innocent.
The Woman are so Beautiful and so Strong
Very sad,just because the crown was stronger military,it took the Māori land.
The lion is the king of the jungle I'll just leave it there
Kind of pointless watching this unless you understand Māori, it would be good with English subtitles the rest of New Zealand and maybe sign language to just to be fair

Who’s compensated the mori ori for being slaughtered
Who???
Noone, you guys need to stop acting like your some random different race, you left without the blessing of the other tribes so you we're hunted down because of it. Learn history before making demands about compensation.
They were compensate several years ago with heaps of money from guess who. Not Maori that's for sure.
Moriori are a fairy tail concocted by white fullars as a cover for their atrocities
Only happened in the chatham Islands.

you do know that the idea of someone owning land based on race is a social construct and doesn’t exist, the idea of stolen land is a European one, the Māori weren’t one group of people jsut because they had the same skin colour like all of humanity, they enslaved cannibalised and hated one another, they colonised eachothers territory, history was about whoever could had the most superior war tactics won, their was no United Nations, their was no moral or international law saying this is right and wrong, I don’t know why only Europeans were supposed to know what’s morally wrong in 2024 200 odd years where as everyone else who has benefited from “injustices” of their ancestors (so every single human) just gets away with it well also being able to somehow be the victim in it all, nothing more European than created universal morals only to be the only one held up to it
??? They made a treaty that promises Māori the right to full ownership of their lands, forests, fisheries, and other possessions. Land was wrongfully taken from Māori and not in accordance with the treaty of Waitangi, so that is why the Disputes Tribunal was created. It is not a blame game simple just that the Crown didn’t fulfil their promise to the Māori in some cases.
Skin colour doesn’t matter and we are all New Zealander, with equal importance.
Māori were cannibals yes true, but they only ate their enemies as revenge. They believed that eating their enemy was the most degrading thing they could do to them.
They didn’t eat people for the sake of eating them.
The truth is this land was never known as Aotearoa.. not once. It was known as 3 different islands pervious. Aotearoa was used first by Gregory Smith in his 1850s book. Learn the truth. Instead of adding propaganda into history.

About time the murderous, greedy and enviornmentally destructive Maori were held accountable for the genocide they waged against Moriori (the true natives to NZ), and for wiping out most of the NZ native species and forests.
As a Maori I agree, but I gather I am no longer a Maori now nor allowed a voice, because I do not fit the narrative or political agenda.
"Wiping out most of nz native species and forest".. "environmentally destructive". Please elaborate, I didn't realize they destroyed so much.
Compared to impacts on our environment within the last hundred years say. Environmentally nz is much worse off now then it ever was.
@@noobatronicusjedi2667 The Maori burnt the Canternury forests to the ground chasing out the last of the moas, before driving them to extinction. That same destructive method was used again and again all over New Zealand by them. They had no concept of conservation. They also never did fugure out how to farm animals or how to improve available crops.
This is about Whakatohea, did Mori Ori dwell in Whakatohea? No
@@alexlee3164 Moriori were native to Rekohu/Chatham islands not mainland Aotearoa. Do some research. It was two tribes of Māori (mutunga and tama) who committed that atrocity, not all māori. Why do Māori as a collective get the blame for the crimes committed by TWO tribes
🌋🛶🐲🪶
The first step to a better life is to stop moaning about the past. Lots of bad things happened including Maori enslaving and killing and eating other Maori. We're all better off that the British arrived though they were far from perfect and brought the science and other knowledge that led us to democracy and our children no longer die of hunger and disease.
Work for a better future. Don't expect the past to be perfect. Evan a perfect past won't help you.

Always good to see taxpayer funded propaganda
Haha this videos only been up 9hrs and already it has attracted a ballhead troll😀
@@lilboydz1 ooh found the racist. This sort of thing does tend to attract delusional racist though, so not surprised
Maori didn't have a written language so only a few generations and our history is unknown. For example no knowledge of the moa.and no ocean going knowledge.
It's because the European settlers weren't learning, but they got it in the end 😂
The title alone is designed to provoke and cast a negative light on Europeans
Wish this was In English as well
Prob would not have been colonized if there were buildings roads bridges etc - bare land would have looked like fair game to anyone back then. 1 person did not need 4 cities of land area to claim theres if its got nothing on it.
Another concerning thing is that NZ history when taught by Europeans, has never been "pro European" or bias, it has always been fair without narrative, but now that Māori are involved, it is obvious that the ones involved have extreme values, bias and resentment towards Europeans. The current government have aloud Māori extremists to voice their opinions with tax payer funding. I am also pretty sure the same crowd have re-written what is being taught in schools.
Well said 👏
Why don't you look at why your ancestors signed the treaty, it's obvious but you cry hard done by 😢
Did Māori destroy your entire livelihood?
Maybe not yet.....

What the heck does this have to do with this? Ans it is God Almighty and he only who can punish and judge anyone : Matthew 7 :: NIV. "Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. "Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?
I’m assuming that episode 1 deals with the Māori theft of land belonging to
the original natives? No - thought so …
You assume some grievance based on 21st century values. Get a grip, get a life and get on with the opportunity modern NZ presents to you. Just saying ...
There were people living in NZ, before Maori.
The maori, eliminated those civilisations.
Living here, and adopting land.
Doesnt give them the right, to say the lands ours.
My 1st home was Rotorua.
My 2nd home as a kiwi, was Opotiki since 1979.
The history of the area, was mainly with the english settlers. farming and living there since the early 1800s.
There are cemeteries on the hills, of English settlers only.
