Let's discuss equality for Maori against the perpetual leases that only Maori have to put up with. Let the general public know what they are a part of and how they are oppressing Maori. The fact the actual privileged think they are not receiving equal rights when in reality they don't want to see our language on display, they want to make disgusting comments and spread lies without any repercussions, they want to see Maori locked up and jailed, they want the Maori roll and Maori parliamentarians abolished, they want to see peaceful hikoi participants arrested and jailed. They want our history blocked and they don't want their children knowing speaking or mingling with Maori. However, they can't bring themselves to admit it's simply based on the colour of our skin why they want these things. Amazing to me how Seymour convinced society they are being oppressed and Maori have special rights simply for being Maori. It's beyond sad!

@rickspestcontrol No Maori rights? What the hell do you think the Treaty of Waitangi is about? Maori rights are not a hypothesis but a legal reality grounded in the Treaty of Waitangi, a cornerstone of Aotearoa New Zealand's Founding Document. The Treaty establishes the principles of partnership, protection, and participation, ensuring that Maori have tino rangatiratanga or sovereignty over their whenua, resources and all their taonga. These rights are recognised in our laws and affirmed by various legal decisions and government actions. Dismissing these rights as mere 'maoriness' overlooks the explicit guarantees made to Maori as Tangata Whenua, and the ongoing obligations of the Crown. No march needed?

@@Maorigew There's no such things as maori rights. Maori doesn't have rights. rights are derived from nationality (i.e New Zealanders.) Good try though 😉
@@samoanquarterback The treaty of Waitangi is about the Crown relationship with the native tribes of New Zealand. Nativity is not ethnicity (Maori) nor is it race (Polynesian), its the legal status of those people who inhabited the island before the 1840 treaty. Its about ancestoral links. No-one cares whether your Maori, Asian, or a twin spirit penguin. Moaris and Moari don't have rights. New Zealander's have rights.

The revenue that has been secured by the crown, from these illegal seizures and theft, has resulted in the crown earning trillions of dollars. The crown have only returned .02% of the revenue that belongs to the Māori, to them. I’m not sure ‘pandering’ to Maori, is a word I’d use to describe giving back someone, something you’ve stolen from them. I’d also reflect on how more money that has ever been given to Māori, since the treaty almost 200 years ago, was given to NZ landlords by way of tax deductions, earlier this year ($2,900,000,000 / $2.9B). That is within one year of government spending. These money hand outs, I would say, is ‘pandering’ to the wealthier side of the country, for the hard work of owning a house, which more than half of those, inherited and half of the remaining half, were given loans by mum and dad.

Big props to everyone who brought us all together, from the top to the bottom, to parliament and around the world. Amazing show of love and support, historical.
Co-governance is in the treaty. Brits replaced rangatiratanga (run by Māori chiefs) with sovereignty (run by UK royals). My tipuna signed He Whakaputanga (Declaration of Independence) 28.10.1835 and Te Tiriti 17.2.1840. Pōmare believed he had not given up any sovereignty and stated that he was not able to in any case, as it belonged to all of his iwi. Focus on getting in the waka and working together - Kiingi Tuheitia. Kotahitanga ngā iwi Māori katoa.
Corporate need Teriti and Maori out of the way. Stupid Pakeha think Davids doing this for them. David is gonna sell them out as soon as he gets the bouncers off the door!
Please tell the truth about the bill. Maori children are beaten and killed by their families. They are traumatisng their children in homes within gangs and drug rings. This bill treats all New Zealanders as equal. It does not destroy the treaty.
So how does the 'bill' that absolutely will change the fabric of the treaty help those children? Remember Seymour wants to take away equity, which would mean those children who are at higher risk small isolated towns where the percentage of people are Maori who lack opportunities would be targeted. Equity means funding goes into those communities where wrap around services (parent workshops, travel options, social workers, midwives, nurses) are available to report and support communities and parents preventing worst case scenario outcomes. This involves tax payer funding going toward these areas. Are you actually OK with that because that's no the impression I get from right wing supporters who just want to lock everyone up that's brown. Seymour wants equality which would mean children get the basic rights to education and housing (yet he has no solutions) other than punishing parents if their children don't attend school. You guys are so basic and weird.
who defines the equality? the govt? they just want to do oil drilling, fracking and mining without consultation of local Maori iwi and thats just one part of it. how many countries have "equality' in their bills yet the indigenous and minority group are worse eg Australia n the US
The real treaty (the one maori signed) says maori have the right to self determination. They never sceeded sovereignty. I'm irish catholic, I know this, how can any educated person not know their country's own history.
@@ranamcneil74 No it doesn't. Self determination is not sovereignty; its the right to vote. Sovereignty is the right and recognition to rule and prior to 1840, no-one had that right or recognition either domestically or internationally. Sorry your race revision card has been rejected.. do you have some other form of payment?
@@rickspestcontrolTinorangatiratanga means sovereignty, self determination, self governance. The contra proferentem principle applies, the indigenous language takes precedence.
Maori contribute $67.8 BILLION to NZ economy. Give us a break.. or even a tax cut. Just like how government gave the elite tax breaks? Ask Seymour about the Atlas Network and the rich elites.
Only Europeans would worry about that. Considering a European is the cause to this protest. This Europeans intentions are to remove hapu/iwi to continue towards mining in deep sea and land. Always an agenda with Europeans, and never for the betterment of people.
The British never honoured the Treaty but breached it in letter and spirit multiple times. Over the next 60 years the Maori lost 80 percent of their land. So much for a "treaty". The Hikoi isn't about preserving the Treaty of Waitangi, it is about FINALLY honouring it.

Newsroom NZ had a video mathematical equation done based on a static video of the hīkoi passing a single point and the result was calculated at a minimum of 84,000 participants which doesn’t include those already on parliament lawn as hīkoi marched through Wellington to parliament. This seems more accurate than the underestimated guessing of other media and police.
@@PeteThecurious100 New Zealanders will never be equal until all land confiscated by the Crown is returned to the legal owners. I’m surprised a party like Act that has always supported property rights has not pushed for the return of whenua, it’s almost like they don’t really respect the law. The former party president certainly doesn’t.
@@diyguru9677 There is no evidence that it will be equal if all the land that you claim is returned to what you believe to be the legal owners. All that will happen is that the tribes will fight each other over it instead of the government. Back to 1840. You can change ownership of land but you can't change grifting.
@@rickspestcontrol I see you're unfamiliar with the work of the Waitangi tribunal establishing land rights specific to iwi, obviously there's parts of the country where original iwi/hapu title is disputed but what's not disputed is the illegality of Crown land confiscation or that the Wakefield's New Zealand Company was selling land to settlers in Britain before they traveled that Māori had never sold leading to settlers arriving in good faith believing they had purchased rights to land that did not exist. This led to many conflicts between settlers and Māori who were both entitled to feel aggrieved. This bill is like pouring poison into the wounds of 184 years of corrupt and unlawful behaivour by the Crown and NZ govt. Nothing good will come of this for anyone except the foreign interests needing te tiriti principles reinterpreted to successfully take over and exploit Aotearoa NZ water, land and resources protected by the treaty. It's shameful NZ media isn't exposing the Atlas Network connection to this unconstitutional attack on NZ's law and mana. Don't make the mistake of thinking this is about equal rights it's actually about removing rights and the protections te tiriti gives all NZers.
@@diyguru9677 No you dont see anything. Tell you what. You go do a law degree and spend 4 decades studying British and New Zealand legal and constitutional history, then come back and talk to me... I'll fill you in if you miss any lectures (Even if it turns out that I'm not the one who wrote them, I'll certainly have a copy on file.) If you run into any difficult bits.. holla.. more than happy to help out. You really don't understand that the tribunal operates under entirely orthodox legal principles. That literally means that the Treaty gave the native estate title to the tribes who inhabited those. That title means, that if deprived of those lands contrary to law, which there is no doubt has occurred, then you are entitled to seek redress under the law. Your position argues that you want to take advantage of the equality of law as a New Zealander to seek redress from the Crown; while also arguing that that same law (which under Magna Carta and the 1688 Bill of Rights commands equality) should not be the same for everyone. You are effectively arguing for equality under the law and inequality at the same time. Clueless is an understatement.
It Is Written; 22/"The smallest of them will become a family. The weakest of them will become a Mighty nation. At the right time I, the Lord, will make it happen quickly." Isaiah (Chptr 60v22)
If you care about equality of rights and responsibility... all who support the Bill need to do a couple important things first. Over 26,000 Hectares of Maori Land locked in perpetual leases right now. Maori owners not allowed to charge Fair market rates and make a Fair income for over 100 years. Thousands of acres of Maori Land on 99 year leases. Many not paying a Fair lease rate (many not paying anything) for decades now, which is reason enough to break lease. Some say 'but look at the improvements I have made' but you haven't paid a Fair Lease fee for decades, viewing it just as 'Maori Land'. Take the buildings and move onto other Land where you get Free or extremely low lease rates. Fair Treatment? Equality? These Lease agreements are modern day scamming and theft over a span of 50,60,70,80,90,100 plus years. Until these unequal Treatment of Maori get rectified, all who support the Bill are HYPOCRITES
Maoris don't have rights or land. Rights and land are held in New Zealanders by New Zealanders. History is a record of fact, there's nothing about it to stand for.
@PeteThecurious100 no no, it actually means "We Own The Land " Kaitiaki is how we manage it by guardianship. And we are winning our lands and rights back ❤❤❤❤❤
@@tangatatoamma5240 What rights? You mean the rights granted to you as British subjects under the Magna Carta and 1688 Bill of Rights.. you mean those rights or you have something else in mind? What "land" do you think we own and who is "we" ?
Same old rhetoric. Come up with some new material. Republic means no te tiriti. No Te Tiriti means Māori get everything back. Te Tiriti is a contract! So if you know what happens when a contract is broken
Only in nz can a whole bunch of people actively campaign against equal human rights yet you non Māori are viewed as racist if you support the bill to make everyone under it equal.

Kia ora koutou, ko Tiemi Ahu, no Waikato, raua ko Maniapoto. I am 63 years old, live in Taranaki, been schooled in our Maori history and culture from a young boy, and do not speak our reo, due to its immense transliterated content. All of this country's falsely self -incorporated colonial settler governments have continually mistranslated and abused our language, our Sovereign Maori Rights declared in 1835 and the Sovereign Nations Treaty Agreement with the Crown of England in 1840. "Te Wakaputanga o Te Rangatiratanga 1835" (The Declaration of Maori Sovereignty of New Zealand), and "Te Tiriti o Nga Iwi Rangatira 1840" (The Sovereign Nations Treaty Agreement), which form the Founding Constitution of Aotearoa New Zealand, established by the Maori Iwi Nations with the Crown of England. However, under the corrupt New Zealand colonial settler governments these Founding Constitutional Documents have been intentionally ignored and misinterpreted as 'the declaration of independence' and 'the treaty of Waitangi'. The lying corrupt New Zealand Occupying Colonialist Settler Government must be immediately disbanded, and the full Constitutional Sovereign Rights, Congressional Government and Self Determination of the Maori People, including all their Lands must therefore be legally, constitutionally and fully returned to them, in all their entirety.
If you carry on with your numbers game, the Maori that don't stand up and leave it to the first wave of warning Will stand. The last wave would not be good for anyone. However Maoridom will survive anything. We survived you lot. We will survive when your but a waiata we sing our moko to sleep to.❤
Me and thousands of others couldn't make it, also Rarotonga, Hawaii, New York City, London, Brisbane, Melbourne, Sydney, Perth participated in the hikoi from their jurisdiction...There are alot of people overseas entitled to vote and submit submissions because they are still NZ citizens!
As a Filipino, I find this quite interesting. I just have a couple questions. Maori brothers and sisters, Why does your ancestors or chief accept such a deal with the crown? And why does the maori people divided when fighting the colonizers? This is the reason why Maoris are on this predicament. We Filipinos, we didn't accept any colonizers, 3 have tried and 3 have failed.
If you're genuinely interested, there's plenty of research available. Phillipines may not be colonised but the American English suggests differently. Māori didn't cede sovereignty given there were 500 asignees to 39 Brit representatives and Māori outnumbered colonials 40:1. Tupuna understood the Crown would take care of their drunken, diseased, scurvy population and Māori would retain everything that was already ours. We would share the land and resources. Aotearoa was already a thriving country trading between Europe, South America and Asia. Britain was not the first here but wanted a treaty to beat the Dutch who were already trading.
The Philippines was a very, very rich country. When finally governed by its own people, the corruption was rife and buried it into the third world. Maybe you need to question why your people let this happen. They fought so hard to rid of their foreign oppression, yet betrayed by their own.
NEVER Forget - Maori brought the most powerful empire - the British Empire - to its knees and forced them into a peace treaty. This hikoi, should be seen as a reminder to any pakeha leaders (like Seymour/Luxon), that Maori will walk into the face of death to protect their rights, their tikanga and taonga.
You're so behind on your understanding of history you need a quick and simple lesson? Via random strangers on TH-cam? Sure, okay, I can play. - Palestine has been colonised by Israel, and by the British before them who oversaw the carving up of "the Middle East" along lines they dreamed up and superimposed in their own weird way after WWI. It was entirely about sharing access to oil and coal then, and is still about access to land and sometimes water now, too. That's largely the same as the colonisation of Aotearoa me Te Waipounamu me era atu motu by the British crown, so of course iwi and hapu Māori identify with tangata whenua of Palestine. Anyone with a heart and even just a tiny bit of empathy feels sorry for someone else in pain.
I looked up what maori are chanting using online dictionaries. I don't understand? Victoria Universities Ngā Tau o Te Herenga Waka-He pātere mō te hunga wāhine means [The Age of Trafficking-A prayer for women] I looked up Te Herenga Waka [parking restriction/vehicle obligations] I remember once while learning te reo at Canterbury university being humilated in front of my class by the North Island maori lecturer because I used a maori dictionary word in a sentence her tribe knew as something else. Likewise the treaty words will mean different things to different people. Frankly why should we care if people's language/behavior is threatening, aggrogrant, proud or disrespectful and aren't fighting for our own interests to like during covid. Respect is earned and easily lost. There's a proverb that says ''To much pride leads to destruction''.
What on Earth is your point, Peter? All you really seem to be saying is that you feel threatened by a really, really huge crowd of overwhelmingly peaceful people. Clearly you weren't there on the day to watch from right beside it. Obviously you're yet to actually sit down and chat over a cup of tea and a biscuit with anyone from any iwi or hapu Māori and simply listen to their stories... nor likely even read any of the really key important books that help us tangata tiriti to understand our place of privilege here in Aotearoa me Te Waipounamu (me era atu motu): maybe the easiest/ shortest to start with is anything by Mihipeka Edwards. She wrote a couple of really short, brief books about her life growing up going to school, and what it meant to her ability to speak (and read) her own language in her own home country; perhaps another top key book is Ka Whawhai Tonu Matou, by Ranginui Walker www.penguin.co.nz/books/mihipeka-early-years-pod-9780143020073 www.penguin.co.nz/books/struggle-without-end-9780143019459 Your local library will have copies if you can't download or find them in your local used book store or new copies at bookshops.

If Bob Marley was alive, I think he'd want it, too. Most people haven't any understanding of the Treaty. Maori begged for the colonizers to take control, as the infighting between tribes was out of control. Maori ceded and gave sovereignty to the colonisers. It's been 150 years, and the apologies and gravey train must stop. Also, some of your tribal leaders are using you for their benefit. Seems that tribes are continuing to fight between each other today, even though the treaty was signed. Only a few elite Maori are rolling in the riches and living in mansions. This continuing racism must stop as it isn't helpful. It's poisonous. It is time to move on and be grateful for living in a beautiful country.

Except none of that is accurate or factual.
Big props to everyone who brought us all together, from the top to the bottom, to parliament and around the world. Amazing show of love and support, historical.
Co-governance is in the treaty. Brits replaced rangatiratanga (run by Māori chiefs) with sovereignty (run by UK royals). My tipuna signed He Whakaputanga (Declaration of Independence) 28.10.1835 and Te Tiriti 17.2.1840. Pōmare believed he had not given up any sovereignty and stated that he was not able to in any case, as it belonged to all of his iwi. Focus on getting in the waka and working together - Kiingi Tuheitia. Kotahitanga ngā iwi Māori katoa.

@@tracymichaelsen493 Are there any counselling services in your area Tracy.. you seem to be having some sort of mental health problem?
Please tell the truth about the bill. Maori children are beaten and killed by their families. They are traumatisng their children in homes within gangs and drug rings. This bill treats all New Zealanders as equal. It does not destroy the treaty.
So how does the 'bill' that absolutely will change the fabric of the treaty help those children? Remember Seymour wants to take away equity, which would mean those children who are at higher risk small isolated towns where the percentage of people are Maori who lack opportunities would be targeted. Equity means funding goes into those communities where wrap around services (parent workshops, travel options, social workers, midwives, nurses) are available to report and support communities and parents preventing worst case scenario outcomes. This involves tax payer funding going toward these areas. Are you actually OK with that because that's no the impression I get from right wing supporters who just want to lock everyone up that's brown. Seymour wants equality which would mean children get the basic rights to education and housing (yet he has no solutions) other than punishing parents if their children don't attend school. You guys are so basic and weird.
who defines the equality? the govt? they just want to do oil drilling, fracking and mining without consultation of local Maori iwi and thats just one part of it. how many countries have "equality' in their bills yet the indigenous and minority group are worse eg Australia n the US
The real treaty (the one maori signed) says maori have the right to self determination. They never sceeded sovereignty. I'm irish catholic, I know this, how can any educated person not know their country's own history.
@@ranamcneil74 No it doesn't. Self determination is not sovereignty; its the right to vote. Sovereignty is the right and recognition to rule and prior to 1840, no-one had that right or recognition either domestically or internationally.
Sorry your race revision card has been rejected.. do you have some other form of payment?
@@rickspestcontrolTinorangatiratanga means sovereignty, self determination, self governance. The contra proferentem principle applies, the indigenous language takes precedence.

Maori contribute $67.8 BILLION to NZ economy. Give us a break.. or even a tax cut. Just like how government gave the elite tax breaks? Ask Seymour about the Atlas Network and the rich elites.
No, not a cent is paid by taxpayers. Got any other opinions , start a march!!!❤
Only Europeans would worry about that. Considering a European is the cause to this protest. This Europeans intentions are to remove hapu/iwi to continue towards mining in deep sea and land. Always an agenda with Europeans, and never for the betterment of people.
@@LUAPIGNAR Maori were given that and then operate tax free, what business wouldn’t succeed? It’s all from handouts
The British never honoured the Treaty but breached it in letter and spirit multiple times. Over the next 60 years the Maori lost 80 percent of their land. So much for a "treaty". The Hikoi isn't about preserving the Treaty of Waitangi, it is about FINALLY honouring it.
Maori still exist, thanks to the treaty.

This seems more accurate than the underestimated guessing of other media and police.
@@diyguru9677 A big party of like-minded souls. Good fun. Now go put in your submissions to try and stop all New Zeanderders from becoming equal.
@@PeteThecurious100 New Zealanders will never be equal until all land confiscated by the Crown is returned to the legal owners. I’m surprised a party like Act that has always supported property rights has not pushed for the return of whenua, it’s almost like they don’t really respect the law. The former party president certainly doesn’t.
@@diyguru9677 There is no evidence that it will be equal if all the land that you claim is returned to what you believe to be the legal owners. All that will happen is that the tribes will fight each other over it instead of the government. Back to 1840. You can change ownership of land but you can't change grifting.
@@rickspestcontrol I see you're unfamiliar with the work of the Waitangi tribunal establishing land rights specific to iwi, obviously there's parts of the country where original iwi/hapu title is disputed but what's not disputed is the illegality of Crown land confiscation or that the Wakefield's New Zealand Company was selling land to settlers in Britain before they traveled that Māori had never sold leading to settlers arriving in good faith believing they had purchased rights to land that did not exist. This led to many conflicts between settlers and Māori who were both entitled to feel aggrieved. This bill is like pouring poison into the wounds of 184 years of corrupt and unlawful behaivour by the Crown and NZ govt. Nothing good will come of this for anyone except the foreign interests needing te tiriti principles reinterpreted to successfully take over and exploit Aotearoa NZ water, land and resources protected by the treaty. It's shameful NZ media isn't exposing the Atlas Network connection to this unconstitutional attack on NZ's law and mana. Don't make the mistake of thinking this is about equal rights it's actually about removing rights and the protections te tiriti gives all NZers.
@@diyguru9677 No you dont see anything. Tell you what. You go do a law degree and spend 4 decades studying British and New Zealand legal and constitutional history, then come back and talk to me... I'll fill you in if you miss any lectures (Even if it turns out that I'm not the one who wrote them, I'll certainly have a copy on file.)
If you run into any difficult bits.. holla.. more than happy to help out.
You really don't understand that the tribunal operates under entirely orthodox legal principles. That literally means that the Treaty gave the native estate title to the tribes who inhabited those. That title means, that if deprived of those lands contrary to law, which there is no doubt has occurred, then you are entitled to seek redress under the law.
Your position argues that you want to take advantage of the equality of law as a New Zealander to seek redress from the Crown; while also arguing that that same law (which under Magna Carta and the 1688 Bill of Rights commands equality) should not be the same for everyone. You are effectively arguing for equality under the law and inequality at the same time. Clueless is an understatement.
It Is Written; 22/"The smallest of them will become a family.
The weakest of them will become a Mighty nation.
At the right time I, the Lord, will make it happen quickly."
Isaiah (Chptr 60v22)
If you care about equality of rights and responsibility... all who support the Bill need to do a couple important things first.
Over 26,000 Hectares of Maori Land locked in perpetual leases right now. Maori owners not allowed to charge Fair market rates and make a Fair income for over 100 years.
Thousands of acres of Maori Land on 99 year leases. Many not paying a Fair lease rate (many not paying anything) for decades now, which is reason enough to break lease. Some say 'but look at the improvements I have made' but you haven't paid a Fair Lease fee for decades, viewing it just as 'Maori Land'. Take the buildings and move onto other Land where you get Free or extremely low lease rates.
Fair Treatment? Equality? These Lease agreements are modern day scamming and theft over a span of 50,60,70,80,90,100 plus years.
Until these unequal Treatment of Maori get rectified, all who support the Bill are HYPOCRITES
Evidence?
So inspiring to see the Maori stand for their rights, history, and land.
Maoris don't have rights or land. Rights and land are held in New Zealanders by New Zealanders. History is a record of fact, there's nothing about it to stand for.

What "land" do you think we own and who is "we" ?
Same old rhetoric. Come up with some new material. Republic means no te tiriti. No Te Tiriti means Māori get everything back. Te Tiriti is a contract! So if you know what happens when a contract is broken
What makes you think Maoris will get anytthing at all.. and what is "everything"
That's just really weird. Not sure what you're talking about at all.
No - no crown means we GIVE our land back.
The bias in this is blatent
Well im sure youll find one more biased to you on the platform.
Only in nz can a whole bunch of people actively campaign against equal human rights yet you non Māori are viewed as racist if you support the bill to make everyone under it equal. Decades of pandering, payoffs of land and a tonne of money as well as constant apologising to them has led to all this. I’m so glad I had dual citizenship to another country. I’ll never be back to nz.
Good. We don’t need your sad arse here!
Bye
Your choice
Dont miss your flight!
Fun fact:
After the treaty was signed, the town illegally seized and stole 98% of Maori owned land and resources.
The revenue that has been secured by the crown, from these illegal seizures and theft, has resulted in the crown earning trillions of dollars.
The crown have only returned .02% of the revenue that belongs to the Māori, to them.
I’m not sure ‘pandering’ to Maori, is a word I’d use to describe giving back someone, something you’ve stolen from them.
I’d also reflect on how more money that has ever been given to Māori, since the treaty almost 200 years ago, was given to NZ landlords by way of tax deductions, earlier this year ($2,900,000,000 / $2.9B).

I am 63 years old, live in Taranaki, been schooled in our Maori history and culture from a young boy, and do not speak our reo, due to its immense transliterated content. All of this country's falsely self -incorporated colonial settler governments have continually mistranslated and abused our language, our Sovereign Maori Rights declared in 1835 and the Sovereign Nations Treaty Agreement with the Crown of England in 1840.
"Te Wakaputanga o Te Rangatiratanga 1835" (The Declaration of Maori Sovereignty of New Zealand), and "Te Tiriti o Nga Iwi Rangatira 1840" (The Sovereign Nations Treaty Agreement), which form the Founding Constitution of Aotearoa New Zealand, established by the Maori Iwi Nations with the Crown of England. However, under the corrupt New Zealand colonial settler governments these Founding Constitutional Documents have been intentionally ignored and misinterpreted as 'the declaration of independence' and 'the treaty of Waitangi'.
The lying corrupt New Zealand Occupying Colonialist Settler Government must be immediately disbanded, and the full Constitutional Sovereign Rights, Congressional Government and Self Determination of the Maori People, including all their Lands must therefore be legally, constitutionally and fully returned to them, in all their entirety.

Get rid of the treaty and Maori seats in parliament!
As a Filipino, I find this quite interesting. I just have a couple questions. Maori brothers and sisters, Why does your ancestors or chief accept such a deal with the crown? And why does the maori people divided when fighting the colonizers? This is the reason why Maoris are on this predicament. We Filipinos, we didn't accept any colonizers, 3 have tried and 3 have failed.
Oh good on you
Māori requested it ! And then essentially wrote / dictated it in one of their 8 different dialects! And totally ambiguous language
If you're genuinely interested, there's plenty of research available. Phillipines may not be colonised but the American English suggests differently. Māori didn't cede sovereignty given there were 500 asignees to 39 Brit representatives and Māori outnumbered colonials 40:1. Tupuna understood the Crown would take care of their drunken, diseased, scurvy population and Māori would retain everything that was already ours. We would share the land and resources. Aotearoa was already a thriving country trading between Europe, South America and Asia. Britain was not the first here but wanted a treaty to beat the Dutch who were already trading.
The Philippines was a very, very rich country. When finally governed by its own people, the corruption was rife and buried it into the third world. Maybe you need to question why your people let this happen. They fought so hard to rid of their foreign oppression, yet betrayed by their own.

- Palestine has been colonised by Israel, and by the British before them who oversaw the carving up of "the Middle East" along lines they dreamed up and superimposed in their own weird way after WWI. It was entirely about sharing access to oil and coal then, and is still about access to land and sometimes water now, too.
That's largely the same as the colonisation of Aotearoa me Te Waipounamu me era atu motu by the British crown, so of course iwi and hapu Māori identify with tangata whenua of Palestine. Anyone with a heart and even just a tiny bit of empathy feels sorry for someone else in pain.

Likewise the treaty words will mean different things to different people. Frankly why should we care if people's language/behavior is threatening, aggrogrant, proud or disrespectful and aren't fighting for our own interests to like during covid. Respect is earned and easily lost. There's a proverb that says ''To much pride leads to destruction''.
