#about hīkoi mō te Tiriti 2024

[bluewatersfairy]

Hīkoi te Tiriti arrives in Pōneke today to reach Parliment and I just wanted to take a second here to say our current government is racist and full of the worst kinds of people. Fuck David Seymour and the entire ACT party, the treaty bill they proposed is purely about taking the little Māori are promised (because Te Tiriti is barely honoured) and uses the term "equality for all" and talk of the youth of Aotearoa to disguise the pure hatred that it represents.

Aotearoas reaction and protest to this bill is peaceful opposed to this violent-natured bill. We are watching our tangata whenua be stripped our their rights (AGAIN) and be told that they have no right to the whenua that has and always will be theres.

I have a lot to say on this but it is not my voice that matters. I wanted to share this monumental day with you all, and make it clear that I stand with Tanagata Whenua (Māori peoples) the same way they have stood with my Pasifika brothers and sisters in the past. I stand on their whenua, they are Aotearoas past, present and future.

Today, and every day, I will be yelling as loud as I can, Toitū Te Tiriti, honour te Tiriti.
