I watch the news each night about the occupation at Ihumatao. Trying to gain understanding, wonder what it's all about.

Amazing woman. Amazing passion. May justice be done, and your fight not in vain.
i met pania 3 years ago at ihumatao she was fighting this back then and me and the boys stopped for a korero by the avacado orchid. good to see the mana still strong. and i hope she gets the support and wins her fight. you got my vote
This is a turning point for all New Zealander’s with Maori to stand together and protect our Mother Earth Papatuanuku....this sanctuary....this Eden....Ihumātao is alive and is inhabited by its natural nature.....Ihumatao calls for us to protect them......they call us to be obligated as Humans who dwell in partnership with them to do our duty.....to leave this place as sacred .

Kia ora Pania, Thank you for your korero, that was amazing. My whanau and I are supporters of SOUL campaige, a great cause to save Auckland last historic piece of land. Ihumatao 'take a stand, save our land', Kia Kaha, Pania and Whanau.
Kia ora Pania, Thank you for being maori, being a whine toa.. My partner and I, watched a few videos call the bones in the closet, depicting your very story and the ancient historical lands/whenua. It was created by the archeologist you speak of and how the government of new Zealand shut them down and prohibited them from releasing their findings.. Paimaarire whanau..
Ihumātao heritage has far more value to New Zealand than the heritage of the Civic theatre. The Fletcher housing development is not heritage therefore should not be built on heritage land. Ihumātao is irreplaceable and must be saved.
Tau kē !!. I remember watching her regarding this injustice a few years back. I thought than this young wahine toa is someone to watch out for...kia kaha Pania and Co. After the Christchurch Earthquake in 2011, many people in Christchurch who saw behind the scenes how Fletcher operated, myself included, became disillusioned by Fletcher's practices. The Govt just threw money at Fletchers !!. Because Keys Govt and his politicians; Brownie for example, had interests within that company. Fletcher only care about themselves and nothing else...haere atu Fletcher !!
Auckland council saved so many other places, Māngere bridge maunga, foreshore etc And finally this place too, even through its not a lot to look at rocks wall and rumpty paddocks, but very nice place. As for favouritism of colonial sites, no honey, it’s just a numbers thing, there are simply far more built structures than there are Pa and wahi tapu under that heritage arrangement, DOC and the Crown kindly manage more than 10,000 other Maori sites around nz
This is a wake up korero, a reconnect the disconnected and give back what was wrongfully taken, truthfully spoken STOLEN. As Māori this makes me want to become an activist or advocate of sorts.
30 million dollars was taken from the kiwibuild fund (a fund to build affordable homes) and was used to stop 480 homes from being built on private land. Private land that was supposed to be protected from being claimed with the massive treaty payouts. WTF?
This is correct. Private land, adjacent to Ihumatoa, and Maori were set to benefit. People living at the site are illegal squatters, don't be fooled. Dangerous woman! And guess what, it was handed to them.
@@magamike1800 Maga Mike it is called ''under duress'' well at least that is what I would of done. The NZ government first unlawfully stole the land and then offers them a take it or leave approach.

@@michellejane9092 Well the Kingitanga seemed pretty calm and algud about it. If its Tainui, then let THEM sort it. Besides, Maori don't know how to look after anything. They can't even unite as a people and they never will because they're too egotistic and rip one another off. Whina Cooper, Te Puea and Eva Rickard were people with many years of experience and great mana and knowledge far greater than Pania. She should NEVER be compared to them either. Quite frankly, looking at the way Maori are today, Im quite glad our tupuna signed the treaty. If we can't look after our own, how then can we even look after whenua? Our people have gone to the pits in many ways. Its sad to watch us go down this way...

Couple of questions: Did not the tribal eldership sign off this development, not simply the developer and the white man colonialist? Is there not a housing crisis in New Zealand requiring new housing to increase the availability of new, high quality homes? Love to hear thoughts.
The land was confiscated by the crown in 1863. Should never have happened. As for housing, we have empty homes all over Auckland. This idea that more homes will fix the housing crisis is bollocks. Not only that, but they can build in other, less historically and culturally significant areas.
