  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.

  5.  @rick-the-anglo-saxon  Which UK royal are you related to? We've proved our history, time for you to prove yours. Were they a Te Tiriti signatory or just another foreigner that never set foot on our land?

  6.  @rick-the-anglo-saxon  Excellent, so you are saying there's a link 900 years later when the Te Tiriti was signed. You're thinking like a Māori.
