Kupu Whakataki

E toru ēnei kaupapa kōrero mō te whanaungatanga o te Māori rāua ko te Karauna mai i te hainatanga o te Tiriti o Waitangi i te tau 1940.

Ko te nuinga o ngā kōrero mō Waikato-Tainui ka noho ki runga i te pakanga me te muru raupatu, ā, ko tō Ngāi Tahu, e whai ana i te tini o ngā hoko i ngā rohe māhorahora o Te Waipounamu ki te Kāwanatanga o te rautau tekau mā iwa. E tākina ana ngā hapa o te Karauna, i kore ai ia e whakahōnore i ngā whakaritenga o ngā hoko whenua, i kore ai hoki e rāhuitia he whenua mō Ngāti Tahu kia nui tonu. Otiia ko te take mō te Reo Māori kāore e pā ana ki te whenua, engari te oranga tonutanga me te puāwaitanga anō o te reo Māori i roto i Aotearoa. Kei ēnei tuhinga kaupapa ka kitea ngā huarahi rerekē i mahi tahi ai te iwi Māori me te Kāwanatanga ki te whakatatū i ō rātou nawe mai i ō rātou hītori i haere tahitia ai, hei whakatikatika i ngā hara o nanahi, hei whakahoki anō i te ihu o te waka o te Tiriti ki runga i te huarahi tika.
