Maori – A people one sees in legislation.
MAORI – A PEOPLE ONE SEES IN LEGISLATION
Queen Victoria did not sign the Tiriti o Waitangi with a “mixed race of people - She signed the Tiriti o Waitangi with a distinct race of people called maori, a race through intermarriage of their own free will, no longer exists.
Over the years, many Acts have been passed as the maori race intermarried with other races and their ancestry became further and further diluted from the maori race that signed the Tiriti o Waitangi in 1840. As a past Race Relations Conciliator of Maori descent, John Clark stated, “Maori today are a people with maori ancestry, as one sees in legislation”.
Some of the Statutory Interpretations of Maori, “As One Sees in Legislation“?
1. The Native Land Act of 1865 defined a Maori as, An aboriginal native and shall include all half-castes and their descendants by natives.
2. The Qualification of Electors Act 1879 defined a Maori as, An aboriginal inhabitant of New Zealand and includes any half-caste living as a member of a native tribe according to their customs and usages and any descendants of such a half caste by a maori woman.
3. The Electoral Act 1893 defined a Maori as, An Aboriginal inhabitant of New Zealand and includes half-castes and their descendants by natives.
4. The Native Land Court Act 1894 defines a Maori as, An Aboriginal native of New Zealand and includes half-castes and their descendants.
5. The Native Land Act 1909 defines a Maori as, A person belonging to the Aboriginal race of New Zealand and includes a half-caste and a person immediately in blood between half-caste and a person of pure descent from that race.
6. The Maori Affairs Amendment Act 1974 defines a Maori as, A person of the maori race of New Zealand and includes any descendent of such a person.
This final definition (6) is the definition being used today to allow one group of New Zealand citizens to claim through the apartheid Waitangi Tribunal. All these Acts came about as the maori race intermarried with other races of their own free will.
A Distinct Race of People
When the Tiriti o Waitangi was signed, maori were a distinct race of people. Since this time, the maori race has intermarried with other races until today they are not the people Governor Hobson, was authorised to deal with for cession of sovereignty of their country. The fact is, Maori today are a people with maori ancestry as one sees in legislation“; they are not the distinct race of people that signed the Tiriti o Waitangi at Waitangi on the 6 February 1840 ceding sovereignty to Her Majesty the Queen.
Every year, the Royal New Zealand Navy fires a twenty one-gun salute at Waitangi verifying British Sovereignty over New Zealand in 1840. HMS Herald logbook entry 8/2/1840, “A salute of 21 guns was fired to commemorate the cession to Her Majesty of the right of sovereignty of New Zealand”.
The Waitangi Tribunal
The Waitangi Tribunal, which the Government created in 1975, is an apartheid tribunal, where 15% of the population, who can claim a minute trace of maori ancestry, can claim against the others without the right to claim, participate, cross examine or appeal. In 1987, the Government replaced the Tiriti o Waitangi with Five Principles without debate or the people’s knowledge or consent, giving the Waitangi Tribunal unbridled power to rewrite our history. The Government/Crown completely overlooks the fact; Maori today are not, the distinct race of people that signed the Tiriti o Waitangi in 1840.
Most Maori today, who claim through the apartheid Waitangi Tribunal or in direct negotiations with the Government/Crown, are closer related to the people they claim to have ripped them of that to their maori ancestors. The Government/Crown are allowing this mixed race of people, through legislation, to claim as if they were, the distinct race of people that signed the Tiriti o Waitangi in 1840. There is no denying, the Treaty made us all one people under one law, one flag, but intermarriage made us all one people – New Zealanders!!
Queen Victoria did not sign the Tiriti o Waitangi with a mixed race of people - She signed the Tiriti o Waitangi with a distinct race of people called maori, a race through intermarriage of their own free will, no longer exists.
After each chief signed the Tiriti o Waitangi on the 6 February 1840, Governor Hobson shook their hand and repeated,
He iwi tahi tatou – We are now one people – New Zealanders
It’s time the people of New Zealand woke up to this monstrous scam being forced on them by the Government/Maori today. It’s an undeniable fact, Maori today are not the distinct race of people that signed the Tiriti o Waitangi in 1840; they are a mixed race of people as one sees in legislation.
The End.
