  • “We were taught that everything they were doing was good and everything we were doing was bad. That white was right- I’m just gonna be frank. That’s not a racist talk, it’s just what it is, it’s just reality. This is just reality; this is what our people have faced.” Subscribe to Re: bit.ly/subscrib...
    When Pākehā first arrived here they were completely immersed in te ao Māori. Consequently, the vast majority learnt te reo Māori and were bilingual.
    “I don’t think anybody truly could have foreseen what was going to happen up until we had Pākehā politicians who were really individually keen on killing the language” Dr. Vini Olsen-Reeder, Sociolinguist
    Here's how colonisation and the establishment of the first colonial government facilitated the campaign to exterminate te reo Māori.

    My Tupuna always said Maoridom was Sacred to Maori because it could easily be taken out of context in the wrong hands, he said the sacredness could be bastardized, and look what's happened.

    Im tongan, and my mother came to NZ for high school in a catholic school in the south island in the 70s and said it was banned to speak maori and that teachers would smack you if you spoke it, which is sad because you could speak other languages just not maori. My dad a doctor came to work in nz in the 80s, however there were a lot of maori his age who were illiterate or worst illiterate and couldn't speak their native language. Its clear they were disadvantaged for generations so its only right that they help and provide for them.

      I'm Tongan from Lakepa , What your mum says doesn;t add up . There are very few Maoris in the South Island and those that are there are very westernsed and almost non of them speak Maori fluently back then so for your mum to be at a school where there was a group of Maori students talking maori is not tika and she is making it up . The only place in NZ in the 80s where you could have children talking to each other in maori was in Ruatoki . This was a maori language school anyway .

      @user-st9eo2ox7w My mum went to high school in the 70s not 80s. I didn't say there were groups speaking it, it was a known thing you would get smacked for it, it was banned. There are a lot of maori in the South Island that can speak it! Small percentage of the whole, but there's a lot who do, and Ruatoki isn't the only place smh there's lots of other places if you get around NZ. Also, tika isn't the right word I would use to describe it.

      @@lifeisgood9474 It hasn't been a punishable thing since the 1910s and by that time all maori could understand English which was the main reason Maori elders lead by ngati kahungungu rangatira and maori mp for East coast Takimoana had petitioned government to bring the ban in so maori would learn English and think like the pakeha. After this had been achieved there was no need to discipline the maori kids and it was stopped. . When i went to school in the 70s n both Tonga then NZ Maori was celebrated at school we learnt maori songs and maori dances maori words were taught to us . The same thing they did in tonga so the kids would learn english they were not aloud to speak tongan at school

      @user-st9eo2ox7w If you were around in the 70s then you would know the word tika didn't belong in your sentence, which means you're probably young, especially with your misinformed opinions about the subject. Nope, it wasn't celebrated in the 70s, and relating to tonga, only certain schools didn't allow for tongan speaking, this started for kids of expat's then just continued further over the years but only a handful of schools do this to date.

    Kiaora. Ae the effects of colonisation. My father like many of his time, were strategic in their efforts to keep the culture alive bordering on fear because the backlash was always present everywhere. They were truely nice and resentful to Pakeha at the same time. Both mum and dad native speakers of the reo. My mum hated school because of stigma she could not read or write but always wanted to write a book. My father made it to standard 4. His hand writing was perfect as said by my Pakeha teacher who read my letter of reason for not attending school. Nga mihi e te Atua o reo e Timoti Kaaretu, ki a koe Ruakere Hond me Rawinia Higgins.

Maori has no value as a means of communication in the modern world its only value is a connection to the Maori past if your are going to prioritise your connection to the past over your functioning in the present in the real world then you are cutting your own throats
