Nō te hainatanga o Te Tiriti o Waitangi 120 tau ki muri ka whānau mai tētahi whenua hou.

[Northern Advocate 8 February 1960.]       Akuhata 1960 Jack Hunn Image: 1/2-060086-F © Image copyright conditions Jack Hunn KAIMAHI TARI KĀWANATANGA He aha pū te kaupapa taketake o Aotearoa mō te iwi Māori, arā, mō ngā rā kei te tū mai? He uaua ki te hopu atu nā te mea, kore rawa i tātakutia kia mārama – ahakoa i raro i te ture, i raro rānei i ngā whakatau o te Poari mō ngā Take Māori. Ahakoa ka whakapaetia pea kei te hē tēnei, he mea āta whiriwhiri pea nā te hinengaro whai whakaaro. Kua mōhio pea aua hinengaro, kāore e kore ka whanake haere noa ngā āhuatanga o tētahi iwi, e kore e aro ake ki ngā kaupapa kua oti te whakarārangi mai i ngā ture.  Ka taea e ngā kaupapa here o te Kāwanatanga te whakahohoro, te whakapōrori rānei i ngā mahi whakatau tikanga a tētahi iwi i a anō, engari kāore e taea te aukati, te kaupare rānei kia rerekē te ahunga whakamua. Mā te whanaketanga e whakahaere ngā kaupapa here, e kore ngā kaupapa here e noho hei tuakana. Ka noho anō tēnei hei akoranga nui mā te Tonga o Āwherika ā tōna wā, mō āna kaupapa apartheid, e tāmia nei ōna iwi, kāore kē nei i te hiahia ki taua kaupapa. He mārama tonu ko te whanaketanga kei te whakakotahi i te Māori rāua ko te Pākehā. Nā reira “ko te whakaurunga” te kaupapa e kīia nei te kaupapa whai mana, ina pātaia te pātai. Ki te āta whakaaroaro, ka kitea e whā ngā huarahi, ko ngā tikanga whakahanumi, ko te whakaurunga, ko te māwehe, me te noho tahi, he kupu ēnei e tohu ana i te: Te tikanga whakahanumi: Kia whenumi, kia whakawaimehatia, kia whakakotahitia, me te ngaro rawa o ngā tikanga Māori. Te whakaurunga: Kia whakakotahitia (engari kia kaua e honoa rawatia) ngā āhuatanga Māori me ō te Pākehā hei whenua kotahi, e kitea ai kei te noho motuhake te ahurea Māori. Te māwehe: Te whakarite i tētahi kaupapa pohewa o te "apartheid." E hiahia ana tētahi wehenga o ngā tāngata o Aotearoa kia “whanake ōrite,” ko te tūturutanga atu pea o tēnei kaupapa ko te “apartheid” anō. Te noho tahi: Kia noho tahi mai ētahi iwi rerekē, hei iwi motuhake, engari ka whiwhi hua te mea iti iho i te nohonga tata ki te hoa nui ake (te āhua nei he momo whakauru, māwehe anō tēnei i te wā kotahi). …I roto i ngā rautau, i haere a Ingarangi i te whakaurunga ki te tikanga whakahanumi. He maha ngā tohu koianā pea te mutunga atu mō ngā iwi e rua o Aotearoa, ā ngā rā tawhiti kei mua i te aroaro.  Nā, ko te whakaurunga, kāore nei he whakamārama i a ia i roto i te ture tētahi ia matua o ēnei wā, koia hoki te huarahi e whakapuakina nuitia ana mō ngā kaupapa here. I raro i te whakaurunga me ōna whakamārama i runga ake nei, ka haere tonu tētahi wāhi o te ahurea o te iwi Māori. He nui tonu hoki ngā taonga kua wehe kē atu, ko ngā wāhi papai anake (ērā e tika ana kia whakarauoratia) ka ora i mua i te taenga mai o ngā āhuatanga o te ao hou. Ko te reo, ngā toi me ngā mahi ā-ringa, tae atu ki ngā mahi o te marae, ngā manatunga matua. Mā te Māori anake e whakatau mehemea e tika ana kia whakarauoratia ēnei āhuatanga o te ao kōhatu, ā, i te mutunga atu, he whiringa takitahi mā rātou. Kei tēnā Māori, kei tēnā Māori te kupu whakautunga. Ki te kore tētahi tangata e kaha ki te kōrero i te reo, ki te haka, ki te poi rānei, ki te tū marae rānei, ka uaua iti ake te oranga tonutanga o ngā tikanga Māori i roto i ngā tau. …Ka tūtaki te tangata i kō, i kō ki ētahi tāngata Māori e kino ana ki ngā ākinga i a rātou kia huri ki ngā tikanga Pākehā hei oranga mō rātou. Engari ehara tēnei i te noho ā-Pākehā, he noho kē i te ao hou. He pēnei anō ngā tāngata whai mātauranga katoa o te ao (inā koa ngā Hapanihi) – ehara i te tāngata mā anake – i ngā tōpito katoa o te ao. Otirā, he nui tonu ngā tāngata kirimā, i ngā wā katoa, kāore e eke ki te taumata e hiahiatia ana. Kia mārama rā anō te tangata ki tēnei āhua kātahi anō pea ngā Māori manawarau, manawapā rānei ka huri mai ki te tautoko.

Kohiko ohorere: Kāore he ōritenga o te kirimā i Aotearoa? Kāore te kirimā i te whakaparahakotia ina tiro whānui, kāore i āta whakaparahakotia, engari e whai kē ana te Kāwanatanga kia pai te whakahaere i ngā āhuatanga e pā ana ki te iwi Māori. I roto i tēnei whakatupuranga onanahi nei, e pēnei ana te Māori he nui kē atu āna mahi i ō te 95 tau o mua atu, ā, he taurite tō rātou pai ki te Pākehā. He pai tonu tēnei, engari kei pōhēhē rātou he pai ake rātou. ...Ka pērā te mahi a te Whakapuaki ina whakaputaina, arā, ka rite ki tāku i whakamārama ake nei. Ka āhei pea ia te pānui i te Rā o Waitangi he rā hararei. Ko taku tūmanako kia nui ake tōna mana i tēnei rā nui, i roto i ō tātou kura. ...e whakaarotia ana kia whakanuia te rā o Waitangi i te 6 o Pepuere… He rā tapu tonu, ka tapu kē atu ina āta titiro tātou ki te noho tahi o te Māori rāua ko te Pākehā ki aua tau tuatahi, kia ruku anō kia puta te hōhonutanga o ngā tātai kōrero o mua. Ka pōuri pea ētahi o ngā kairangahau ka waimarie ki te ketuketu i ngā tuhinga onamata o Aotearoa, me te hītori o tō tātou noho tahi me te iwi Māori mō ētahi o ngā mahi i mahia, engari he mahi anō e koa ai, e whakahīhī ai. He koanga ngākau tēnei. …Ki ahau he Pire pai tēnei… Ka kōrero pono anō ia mō ngā mahi o te 6 Pepuere 1840. He autaia tonu te tuhi i te Pire o ngā āhuatanga i heipū ki tēnei whenua i roto i te 120 tau. I roto i ēnei wā he nui ngā pōrarurarutanga me ngā uauatanga, engari kua tata ake tātou ināianei ki tētahi ritenga noho i waenganui i ngā iwi e rua kāore e kitea he painga ake i tētahi atu whenua o te ao...E whakahīhī ana mātou mō ā mātou mahi i tērā taha. Ki ahau nei he rā e tika ana kia whakamoemiti, ā, kia whakamoemiti anō tātou i tēnei rā, ia tau, ia tau. [New Zealand Parliamentary Debates, Volume 325, p.2950 and p.3132.

Koirā pea te whakaaro i mua engari ināianei, mā wai e kī mai ki ahau, i rite te iwi o Ingarangi ki ērā atu iwi apu whenua o te ao, nāna i tango ngā whenua o ngā iwi taketake mō rātou anō. Ki ētahi, he pai kē atu kia kaua te Tiriti o Waitangi e whakamanaia hei wāhi o ngā pukapuka ture. E whakaae ana au pea ki ērā kōrero, i te mea e mōhio ana tātou ka taea ēnā ture te whakarerekē, ki te kore te Kāwanatanga e whakaae. Engari ki te whakanuia te Tiriti o Waitangi, arā, ki te whakaritea he rā motuhake mō te motu, ka ako tūturu te hunga rangatahi, āe, i mōhio anō te iwi Māori taketake o Aotearoa o taua wā, me te hunga nohonoho mai i Ūropi, ahakoa ō rātou mānukanuka, ki te whakatatū kirimana pēnei i tēnei.

Tētahi take nui ko ngā tohutohu ki a Hopihona me ana mahi i muri mai, me te whakaaetanga o aua mahi e te Kāwanatanga o Ingarangi.  I tua atu i tērā, kāore he mana o te Tiriti i ngā ture o te ao, o Aotearoa rānei, ā, kāore anō kia whakamanaia i raro i te ture. Arā, nā te mea kāore he ‘kāwanatanga’, he ‘mana matua’ rānei ō ngā rangatira nāna i haina i Waitangi, kia hāngai ki ngā whakaritenga tōrangapū o ngā whenua o te hauāuru o te ao, kāore he mana hanga tiriti ki tētahi atu whenua nui te mātauranga. … Ka taea te whakarāpopoto i te Tiriti o Waitangi: Kāore tōna wāriu i eke rawa ki tō te pepa i tuhia ai ia, tā te mea kua puta ngā kupu a ngā Pākehā nui tonu, a ngā kōti me ngā Kāwanatanga maha kore rawa he motika, he mea rānei i whakaritea, he herenga rānei i whakatakotoria e te Tiriti.

Ko te tikanga i haere ai ngā kōrero tahitanga ki ngā rangatira Māori he mahi hei whakamārie i a rātou me ngā rōpū manaaki tangata i Ingarangi me Aotearoa.

Ki aku whakaaro, mai i te tau 1840 ki nāianei kua noho tonu iho i roto i Aotearoa he momo wairua emepaea kei waenganui i te iwi Pākehā, me te whakapono ko ngā āhuatanga Pākehā, ahakoa ko ngā tikanga pāpori, ko te ahurea, ko te reo rānei, ēnei katoa he pai kē atu i ō ngā iwi kāore e kōrero ana i te reo Pākehā, kāore rānei e whai ana i te ahurea o te iwi Pākehā. Nā reira kia tae mai ki ēnei tau tata nei, ko ngā kaupapa here o ngā Kāwana me ngā Kāwana-tianara he kaupapa whakapākehā i te Māori i runga i te hohoro. Ki te whakaarotia te maha o ngā raruraru o tēnei rau tau ka hipa ake nei ka mōhiotia he hanga noa te Tiriti ki te iwi Pākehā, he taputapu noa hei whakamana i tana pānuitanga i te mana matua ki ēnei moutere, hei hanga i tētahi moka noa iho o te Emepaea o Ingarangi. Tētahi atu wāhi rerekē. I noho noa iho te Tiriti mō te kotahi rau tau, neke atu, kāore i āta tiakina e te iwi Pākehā, ka tauria e te hōpuruhuru, ka katikatihia e te kiore. Kāore i whakaarahia, i whakahoutia rānei, i whakaaria rānei hei Pukapuka Rongonui o Te Motu, hei taonga āhuatanga nui, hei wāhi pūmau o te mōhiotanga, mehemea he 'whenua motuhake' tātou, me mātua whai 'hītori', kaua e waiho anake hei hītori 'nō Ūropi’, engari he hītori nō ngā iwi e rua.   … He pēhea ngā waiaro Māori ki te Tiriti? Mai i tērā hui rongonui i te Pēwhairangi, i whakapono anō te Māori (kei te whakapono tonu) ko te Tiriti o Waitangi he kawenata tapu tonu i waenganui i a rātou me te Kuini o Ingarangi. Koia rātou i hiahia ai ki te haere tika atu ki te kuini, koia hoki i whakapono ai he mana nui kē atu tō te tiriti i ngā ture katoa, ahakoa he aha, i whakamanaia e te Pāremata o te Kuini Mananui. I whakapono rātou ka āhei rātou te whakawhirinaki atu ki te tiriti (i taua wā, ināianei hoki) ina mōhio rātou i te tangohia ō rātou whenua, i te takahia ō rātou pānga, me ō rātou motika. …Engari ko ngā iwi Māori i tino tūkinotia i roto i ngā pakanga, me ngā murunga raupatu take kore kāore e rite rawa te aroha me te piripono ki te Tiriti ki ētahi atu..

E whakapono ana ia me tū ake te iwi Māori ki te whawhai kia puritia ai ngā 2,000,000 eka kei te toe tonu ki a rātou. “Kāore i mutu te kī o te Te Roopu O te Matakite, mehemea kāore e haere mai tētahi whakautu ki a tātou mō ngā taonga e pitihanatia nei, me noho tonu anō tātou i ngā papa whenua o te Whare Pāremata. Koirā tētahi o ngā kaupapa taketake o te Matakite. I karanga mātou i roto i ā mātou tāpaetanga ki te Kāwanatanga inanahi me haere mai he tino whakautu mō ngā whenua Māori.

I te wehiwehi ngā kaihīkoi Māori ki te rironga atu o ō rātou whenua, kāore ngā kaipupuri tokomaha i rata, ā, he tika hoki kia pērā tō rātou wehi. Ka tirohia katoatia te take o ngā whenua Māori, ā, tērā pea ka whakaritea he tikanga e herea ngā hokohoko whenua Māori ki te whakaaetanga tūturu o te katoa o ngā kaipupuri, kaua pea te 75 ōrau noa iho o tēnei wā. He nui ngā mahi kua oti kē. …Inā koa, kua whakahoki ngā motika tuku iho ki te Māori, ā, e 42,000 eka whenua Karauna kua whakahokia ki a rātou.

He wā tērā i whiriwhiri tikanga noho tahi ētahi iwi e rua, i runga i te whakapono noa o tētahi ki tētahi, me te hiahia kia mau te rongo. …Nā ngā rangatira o te iwi Māori …i tuku ō rātou pānga, ō rātou whenua, kia tiakina e te kīngi o Ingarangi. I whakapono rātou ki te Karauna o Ingarangi, ā, i whakapono te iwi Ingarihi ki te iwi Māori hei iwi taurite tonu te mana, hei iwi mōhio ki ōna takohanga. Nā reira ehara i te mea ko te rā o Waitangi tētahi tīmatanga anake mō tō tātou noho hei whenua, engari hei tohu mō ngā tūmanako mō te whakapono nui, me te hiahia kia hora te rongo. Kāore kē tātou e whakanui i te pakanga, i te whakahinganga i te hoariri [pērā i ētahi atu whenua]… Engari ka whakanui tātou i te huinga tahitanga o ngā iwi whai kaupapa rangatira. E mōhio ana tātou i roto i ngā tau ka raru ēnei tūmanako nui, ka tupu ngā kakari i waenganui i ngā iwi e rua, i muri i te rauhangatanga, te whakapono kore, te matekiritanga, me te pakanga… Ahakoa kāore i te eke ki ōna tino taumata te whanaungatanga i waenganui i ngā iwi e rua, me titiro ki ngā wawata o te Tiriti o Waitangi… – kei tēnei wairua o te whakapono ngātahi, me te hiahia kia whakatatūria ō tātou raruraru i runga i te rangimārie. Kei te hiahia te Kāwanatanga kia ora tonu taua wairua – ko te wairua i hainatia ai te Tiriti o Waitangi i Aotearoa. [New Zealand Parliamentary Debates, Volume 404, p.1367 and Volume 405 p.2273.

Me whakanui anō te Tiriti o Waitangi hei taonga mō te whenua katoa, hei wāhi o te noho tahitanga o ngā tau 136 ki muri; engari ki te iwi Māori, ko te Tiriti te taonga tiaki i ō rātou painga.  He kaha rawa te rongo i te whakaaro he tohu noa iho te Tiriti, pēnei i te ingoa o tēnei Pire, engari ki te iwi Māori he taonga tino whai take tonu.
