Here’s a list of common tropes and narratives people use to marginalise Māori, especially in discussions about Te Tiriti o Waitangi and Treaty settlements. These are recurring rhetorical devices used to delegitimise Māori rights, minimise historical injustices, and preserve colonial advantage.

Hi Ulan, the post is simply a link to the newspaper page displaying the cartoon published by the NZ Herald newspaper.
If you’re interested in the subject of the #NZPol government threatening the founding document of #Aotearoa #NewZealand #TeTiritiOWaitangi which is a treaty signed by a majority of #Māori rangatira (chiefs) and the British Crown to grant the right of British people to settle in NZ. Some other hashtags you could use to find out more are #TreatyPrinciplesBill #DavidSeymour #AtlasNetwork #Act #ToitūTeTiriti #TePātiMāori #TreatyOfWaitangi #Haka
So do you suppose David Seymour's #Act Party were so keen to have Te Pāti Māori MP's jailed for performing a #haka because they didn't want them present as Seymour & Act attempt to rush their undemocratic and treacherous #RegulatoryStandardsBill through parliament under urgency?
Regardless of whether you support or oppose this treasonous bill, the dismantling of constitutional and democratic parliamentary process should alarm all #NZTwits. Perhaps #DavidSeymour sees this as a way of guaranteeing his ambition of bringing about a #CivilWar in #Aotearoa #NewZealand. #NZPol #AtlasNetwork #NZInitiative #TreatyOfWaitangi #TeTiritiOWaitangi #ToitūTeTiriti

well said
there's other videos taken from the gallery showing their #haka, but the official feed, as you say, is flummoxed
her name is #HanaRawhitiMaipiClarke
it's a powerful video
"#NewZealand MPs who performed #haka in parliament given unprecedented punishment
#TePātiMāori co-leaders and youngest member to be temporarily suspended from #parliament after performance protesting controversial bill"
The bill in question (the #TreatyPrinciplesBill) wanted to reinterpret the #TreatyOfWaitangi (1840), which upholds #Māori rights
The bill was defeated
I think the proper response to a bullshit punishment for protecting #MāoriRights is a lot more hakas

Royal Visit to Waitangi - Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip

![The black-and-white photograph captures a formal gathering outside of a traditional wooden building, which features elaborate carvings on its exterior. The architectural style suggests Maori influence, indicative of New Zealand's indigenous culture.
A group of people is standing and socializing in front of the structure; men are mostly wearing suits or overcoats, while women wear dresses with hats, typical attire for a formal event during mid-20th-century times. In the center stands an elderly man, possibly addressing the attendees, which suggests he may be of significance.
There is no visible modern technology such as cameras or smartphones in people's hands; this reinforces the historical context of the image. The photograph appears to have been taken from a slight angle and at eye level with most subjects, creating an engaging yet objective perspective on the scene unfolding before it.
The title provided for this photo indicates that Queen Elizabeth II visited Waitangi, which is significant as Waitangi Day commemorates when Treaty of Waitangi was signed in 1840. This event likely ties into a royal visit to New Zealand during her reign, with Prince Philip being present also signifies the importance and ceremonial nature of the occasion.
The image does not contain any explicit actions or events but rather depicts a moment captured from an audience's perspective at what seems like a significant cultural or diplomatic [...]](https://files.mastodon.social/cache/media_attachments/files/113/999/469/668/529/830/original/7f233454d102f3c4.jpeg)

‘It’s about togetherness’: Waitangi Day captures a new audience https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/feb/06/new-zealand-waitangi-treaty-day-nz-government-maori-policies
A groundswell of resistance against the government’s Māori policies is driving many to make the trip to the Waitangi treaty grounds in New Zealand’s far north for the first time. #nzpol #nzlaw #TreatyofWaitangi
New Zealand's Waitangi Day was overshadowed by controversy as Māori leaders condemned a proposed bill to redefine the Treaty of Waitangi.
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02-06/waitangi-day-overshadowed-by-treaty-controversy/104904766
Methodist Church president Te Aroha Rountree likened the move to "the crown filing for divorce."
The proposed Treaty Principles Bill will continue to face resistance, with Māori leaders vowing to fight any changes that undermine their rights.

Riana Te Ngahue responds to #DavidSeymour ’s Treaty Principles Bill and fear of tino rangatiratanga.
#NZPol #TreatyOfWaitangi #TeTiritioWaitangi #ToitūTeTiritit #Māori #Aotearoa #NewZealand
From Te Ngahue's perspective, tino rangatiratanga was "about the right to do things in a Māori way," and said this was guaranteed under the #TreatyOfWaitangi.
"Doing things in a #Māori way means having the obligation to look after people and look after the environment."
