@winger Looks like a small minority maybe in English (rather than not at all as could be implied from above (probably led to even more confusion). It certainly wasn't the Littlewood that was drawn up by Busby with Hobson. Even more uncertainty regarding the dates with that...
As @canefan says it is a complete ballsup.

and i have read some where(so might not be true) there was no written Maori language till 20 yrs before the signing.
I could believe that. Seems like a lot of Maori lore is an oral tradition

@canefan I went on a guided school trip at Ruapekapeka a couple of years back, and the Maori guide was fantastic!
His knowledge of the wars, the area, the history was amazing, coupled with his oratory skills, most of the class of 13 year olds were paying attention!
But one thing he did stress, he said this is my Whanau's history and story, you go on this same tour with any of the other guides, and you will get thier Whanau's story, so much so, that some of the stories come from Maori that fought on both sides of that war, so that doesnt make my version more true than thiers or right or wrong, its just our story.

Not yet any signs of motorcycles or cis white men.
This post just shows you’re part of the problem. Don’t you realise the stress of her having to deal with CIS White men ON Motorcycles would have driven her to this ?
I’m ashamed to be white, straight, CIS and in my mid 40s and wish I could change.
I hope Marama is on hand to give her a hug and get this fiasco sorted.
