    From the 1860 Kohimarama Conference


    Quote

    His Excellency Governor Browne opened the proceedings by
    reading the following address, a translation, of which was
    afterwards read by Donald McLean. Esq., (Native Secretary,
    and President of the Conference):—

    My Friends,—Chiefs of New Zealand,

    [ 1 to 10 which is the intro and some good points]

    11. It is unnecessary for me to remind you that Her Majesty's engagements to Her Native subjects in New Zealand have been faithfully observed. No
    foreign enemy has visited your shores, Your lands have remained in your possession, or have been bought by the Government at your own desire.
    Your people have availed themselves of their privileges as British subjects, seeking and obtaining in the Courts of Law that protection and redress which they afford to all Her Majesty's subjects. But it is right you should know and understand that in return for these advantages you must prove yourselves to be loyal and faithful subjects, and that the establishment of a Maori King would be an act of disobedience and defiance to Her Majesty which cannot be tolerated.
    It is necessary for the preservation of peace in every country that the inhabitants
    should acknowledge one Head.

    It does seem that the people might benefit from a refresher course. Those
    words resound to-day 160 years later.

    An interesting extract - the words "Your lands have remained in your possession, or have been bought by the Government at your own desire." certainly covered an area that saw much change from around that time.

    I am not sure what you were asking about regarding the Subject of the
    thread - certainly Maori were very pporly treated as regards property
    by both government and private persons subsequently . .

    The modern interpretation is that Maori did not own land before the
    ToW as colonising British understood it and said British well knew
    this. Said British then exploited said Maori to dispossess them of
    their land using questionable financial recompense and British
    military force.

    This is an issue of practices over 150 years ago or more, and the fact
    that there are no direct descendants of said swindled Maori appears to
    be considered irrelevant today.

    ToW as colonising British understood it and said British well knew
    this. Said British then exploited said Maori to dispossess them of
    their land using questionable financial recompense and British

    Certainly it was not owned in the same sense as land in England. It
    was certainly not owned by individuals - where people lived was
    communal land.


    This is an issue of practices over 150 years ago or more, and the fact
    that there are no direct descendants of said swindled Maori appears to
    be considered irrelevant today.
    There certainly are of many of those swindled - it is only 4 or 5
    generations ago, relatively short in terms of Maori known genealogy
    for many families. Some of the wrongdoing is also relatively recentand
    some relating to actions of government.
