7am this morning Police moved in on our occupation on Waitangi, massive discrepancies because the notice that was served over 30 days ago to the Waitangi National Trust in regards to their fraudulent operation as a government entity, under this corporation, has not been rebutted in over 30 days, so the Waitangi National Trust took it upon themselves to utilize the NZ policy officers, this criminal organization known as the New Zealand Police, to come in and pretty much intimidate, threaten and remove us from the whenua here in Waitingi .. now when the rocked in this morning, a lot of our whanau had left for personal reasons, and we only had a small contingent of people here now we've managed to hold them off all day, while we pack down as much as we could to keep the peace, bc we have kuia, we have kaumatua and we just didn't have the numbers guys, but they worked with us today, they allowed us to have all day today to break down everything in our camp that we could and pretty much, they've notified us that its time to move on. Our taumata that is leading this kaupapa because matua Stan is no longer with us in the physical, our taumata consists of kuia, strong , strong strong strong kuia, a leadership that we've been yearning for and some of our whanau are gonna stay with our kuia, they refuse to move. They have organized for us to move to somewhere else for now, but they will not be leaving the whenua unless they are arrested.
Now these are rangatira in their own right, these kuia, they represent Hapu, Whanau, Whenua, Mana Whenua, Pito Whenua, Toto Whenua, (for those who don't know what that means, that means directly descend to this whenua, Toto is they're bound by blood, their pito is buried here, Pito te Whenua, some of them their pito is buried on this whenua. Toto te Whenua is their blood ties to this whenua, Mana Whenua is the strength they hold within themselves and Nga Uri O Nga Rangatira O Nga Hapu O Wakaputanga, He Whakaputanga, every single person that has been here is a direct descendant of all those chiefs, all those ancestors. so corrupt, ae.
Today was not a day to fight, but who knows about tomorrow fams.
