colonial government - helen clark and her sea monsters
First off I will say that I, honor the the whakaputanga and the treaty of waitangi. I also acknowledge the protectorates the HRM the Queen of England has put in place in this country to protect me. I also hold fast, to all the agreement made between my tupuna and HRM the Queen of England's forefathers. But, I do not now, nor ever will acknowledge this colonial government, or its entity, as having any jurisdiction over me. As I hold fast to the words in sec:71 of the 1852 constitution: AND WHEREAS it may be expedient that the law, customs and
Just where do we stand in this country, being maori, we were supose to get all the special treatment, right? This is a brief history of our special treatment;
1840; Maori owned 66,400,000 acres of land.
1841; Land Claims Ordinance stated that lands not actually occupied or used by the Maori belonged to the Crown
1841 – 1845; Northern Chieftain and Signatory to the Declaration and to the Tiriti o Waitangi, Kawiti, with the help of Hone Heke, denounced British interpretation of the Tiriti and in a series of wars defeated the Colonial Administration and expelled it out of their Rohe to Auckland.
1844; Governor Fitzroy dropped the pre-emption clause in Article 2 of the Treaty and allowed private sales to take place.
1846; Governor Grey abolished the Protectorate Department, which had the responsibility of protecting Maori rights, and gave the New Zealand Company the exclusive right of pre-emption.
1862; Native Lands Act: Designed to break down Maori communal ownership of land. A land court was set up to individualise title. An amendment to the act meant that Maori owners could sell to anyone
1863; Governor Grey invades theWaikato region
1863; Suppression of Rebellion Act: No right to trial before imprisonment. Its intention was to punish “certain aboriginal tribes of the colony” for rebelling against the Crown
1863; New Zealand Settlement Act: Over three million acres of Maori land was confiscated to pay for the war.
1864; Native Reserves Act: All remaining land reserved for Maori use was put under settler control.
1866 Oyster Fisheries Act: Prevented Maori from fishing commercially. Maori commercial fishing enterprises at the time went broke and they had to sell land to meet their debts.
1869; A new Maori version of the Treaty was requested by the Government. “Kawanatanga” in Article 1 is replaced by “nga mana Katoa o te Rangatiratanga’’
1879 Peace Preservation Bill: One year’s hard labour for Maori people who refused to leave their abodes.
1880; Maori Prisoners’ Act: 200 Maori arrested in Taranaki for preventing the surveying of confiscated land. Kept in prison for an indefinite period without trial.
1880 West Coast Settlement Act: Any Maori in Taranaki could be arrested without a warrant and jailed for two years with hard labour if they built anything or in any way hindered the surveying or property
1881 Native Reserves Act: The control of Maori reserves is taken over by the Public Trustee.
1881; 2500 troops invade Parihaka and Te Whiti the prophet is arrested
1886; Te Whiti was re-arrested (under the West Coast Preservation Act of 1881) without warrant, charge or trial and jailed for three months
1891;Maori Land
1892; The Native Department was abolished.
1893 Native Land Purchase and Acquisition Act: Designed to speed up the purchase ofMaori Land
1894 Advances to Settlers Act: Low interest loans made available to white settlers to buy land from the Government
1894 Maori Land Settlement Act: Maori land was put under the control of Land Councils. There was no Maori representation. The settler population had increased and so had their desire for land.
1897; 92 Maori in Taranaki were arrested for ploughing land in protest of Public Trustee control of their lands.
1908 Tohunga Suppression Act: Penalties were imposed on tohunga (experts in Maori medicine and Maori spirituality).
On and on but I am sure my ancestors felt real special, it's just not fair on you pakeha that we got all this special treatment, just how did we get so lucky. But now we seem to be great for the entertainment, in the likes of Billy T James, Prince Tui Teka, yet if New Zealand want to promote its self, Maori are right up in there. But seriously where do we stand? I saw a Pakeha on the news charged with sedition for releasing pamphets onto the streets and having relations with the Helen Clarks office window. But the charge of sedition, seditious to who, I ask, to Helen Clarke and her sea monsters. Seditious to the Crown you might say, I will answer by saying, where's the crown? The privy council refered to the nz government as the settlers/ immgrants government or the colonial bench. So who was Tim Selwyn seditious too? We will probably never know. If I was him I would appeal to the High Court or the Court of Appeal maybe even the privy council.
This present government, seems to please themselves in what fits and what doesn't in framing new laws around us. As maori, this new bill, in its first read, is to strip reference to the Treaty of Waitangi, which is in clear breach of the 1846 constitution, sections 9-10. Another bill, which the nz govt will swear it is an act, is the 1986 constitution; Geoffrey Palmer's attemp to repeal Maori rights to govern themselves as acknowledged in S.71 of the New Zealand Constitution Act 1852. Yet this bill has not received Royal Assent by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and no Letters Patent has been issued by the United Kingdom so remains just that, a "Bill."
All in all the nz government have a hard time in dealing with us maori, in that, it is easier for them to say, "oh they're actitvist"... the nz government claim to fame, is that, they consider themselves to be the Crown. Then why, don't they listen to the Crowns law. In relation to the colonial government LORD MACNAUGHTEN stated for the Privy Council “That it is for the Court of Appeal, NOT the settlers & immigrants government/Native/Maori Land Court. (Executives & Creatures) to determine what [was/is] a Breach of Trust” and again “The Privy Council stated “RATHER LATE IN THE DAY FOR THE COLONIAL BENCH IN NEW ZEALAND TO DENY THE TRIBAL/NATIVE TITLE LEGAL STATUS”
But most important, if Tim Selwyn was charged with sedition to the Crown, why then, is this nz government not heeding to Royal instruction, 21st February 1879; Letters Patent: Royal instructions to the Governor were issued by letters patent and gazetted inNew Zealand
Now thats gotta hurt.
