  1. 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.

  2. Conratulations Niger, Mali and Burkina Faso! Send those French colonisers packing. Māori should 'Discover' London this Christmas and rename it To mātau hōu whenua (Our new land) to give our Brit colonisers the same message.
