HELLO!

“In the video, it was noticed that Pākeha we’re abusive foes to the Māori and often didn’t care about their actions, during the New Zealand Land Wars the Māori had sadly lost to the British Empire but they still continued their struggles, now fast-forward to the 1900s, the British started getting aggressive- as in if you spoke Māori, or acted like it you would be caned by a teacher in your own school, and this wasn’t just schools, walking down the street and a lawman sees you doing that would result in the rough beating of you. The Māori struggled to keep up with their efforts to revive the language, culture, and identity, but they still got through, they had made a petition and marched to Wellington, the government building and called the parly members out. Even though they marched all that way they still kept with their traditions and protocol. The Parliament of New Zealand had began to assist with Māori revitalisation. Now, we live in a neutral New Zealand, some people don’t like the Māori some are well okay with it.

I feel connected to every story of British colonisation, segregation, or racism. There are many associations and organisations now that help with people that used to be of British colonised land, there is many stories like this, such as the apartheid era of South Africa. It’s also very sad that apartheid and this sort of racism to Māori people now.

I wonder how certain British people would feel if they got colonised by each nation they colonised.”

Note: It’s  not about blaming a side.

This is my Taniwha Design, It is quite inaccurate because of How it looks like. Taniwha is about is a Large supernatural creature that lives in a deep water, deep caves, or places with dangerous things. For My Taniwha i choose tuhirangi, Tuhirangi is a Legendary guardian (who is a water spirit or creature) from Maori tradition. It could do things like protecting the ocean and the people, Remove the rubbish in the ocean, and Its Message of it was To protect it from Harmful things that could ruin or Make the ocean hazardous.

what i learned about maori that all maori to speak english  britsh wanted to seize control britsh wanted maori land people  who spoke  maori got whipped only  englsh  maori nain goal yo keep their soleveignised  maori  people  as second class or saruges britsh wanted moari  to follow cristaranity rather then workshipping their own  atubis and they didnt  want anyone to speak their land  and they are not allowed to clap after something.

My response to this video was that it was a terrifying trauma for Maori children and adults and how it affected them emotionally and physically. By speaking Te Reo Maori in schools the Maori children were punished by getting whipped by the British people. It also showed how maori children and adults were forced to speak English that to me showed racism towards a language and towards the Maori culture, It made me think about First Nations in America, and Canada, Africans, and the Afro-Americans being punished or harassed because of their skin Colour, language and culture. I was quite shocked that Maori were told to believe in christianity and to stop believing their own gods-Atuas.
The efforts that were being made to revitalise te reo maori language were the starting of kura kaupapa (Maori Preschools) and kuras (Schools taught in maori language or english and maori). Currently they are organisations that make sure te reo maori language is taught.

My question is, Why would they trick Maoris out of New Zealand sovereignty?

I noticed that in the video around the year 1847 Maori children were punished if they spoke Te Reo in schools. The effect of this was that Maori children would be whipped. The British built churches and schools to make sure that English was spoken at all times. The Maori language started to decline and the British forced them to believe in Christianity rather than their Atuas. In 1972 it was beginning of revitalisation of the Maori language, where Kura Kaupapa (kindergartens, pre schools) that were taught in the Te Reo Maori (full immersion). Then kuras (schools) were built to make sure Te Reo Maori spoken.  I felt sad because the Te Reo was being lost and Maori children were being punished for speaking their language. 

I wonder how the British people would feel if they couldn’t speak the English language and were punished for it?
