Oooozes Tuhoe - Ness

Quote: Na Pokaiwhenua McGarvey
Even thou they raided places all over nz that morning, most raids happened here in the lands of Tūhoe, so that they will not be accused of singling out Tūhoe.
Quote: Na Patrick McGarvey
If the police thought Ruatoki was organised before October 15, they should see it now. "We only have to look behind us, to see what's in front of us
Quote: Na Tamati Kruger
“Tūhoe nation describes the culture, language and identity of a people who still have a memory, through oral tradition, of pre-european Tūhoetanga and remember that free men don’t volunteer to be slaves”
Inamata-Anamata
Our great ancestors carried the desires and dreams of Tuhoe, symbolising the Tuhoe presence. They held the mauri, the internal drive, and the courage to holdfast to their dreams and their way of life. These leaders grew leaders, not followers there was a great number of those who died to maintain the solidarity of the Meta-Autonomy of Tuhoe any negative actions directed at these people were negative actions against Tuhoe, and the consequences that would have flowed with deterrence that helped to maintain a Tuhoe presence. One Tuuhoe woman said in 2005: "Our ancestors died fighting against them [colonial soldiers] for the land. We will not settle for anything less and maybe our hope will be realised and our lands will return to us. That is what we must look to." Ka warea te Ware Ka area te Rangatira Hongihongi te Whewheia Hongihongi te Manehurangi Kei au te Rangtiratanga
Apocalyptic visions
Apocalyptic visions of a New Heaven and a New Earth are not, of course, restricted to the radical environmental movement. Among the defeated Maori tribes of the late 19th century, such visions provided both solace and inspiration. Indeed, it was to shut down and disperse "New Jerusalem", the millennial community created by the Tuhoe prophet Rua Kenana at Maungapohatu (Tuhoe's sacred mountain) that the last great expedition of armed constabulary set off into the Ureweras in March 1916. October 15th 2007 the State Invaded the Nation of Tūhoe once again There will be few among the Maori Party leadership who are not aware of the prophetic traditions of Tuhoe, or unaware of that tribe's special status as the last to succumb to the ceaseless encroachment of the Pakeha state.
BACK IN THE MISTS OF FEAR:
"I weep for what has just happened at Maungapohatu in Tuhoe. The Police raid seems to be about punishing Kenana for questioning the Crown and will only take us back in the mists of fear and doubt… I wonder if we will ever stop worrying when it might happen again". - Karaitiana Rarere, Ngati Kahungunu, 1916
The Key!!!!!.
The key to my heart is buried deep within. Enter my world if you dare, and if accepted, in return I'll show you I care. Honesty and trust are the way to my heart, you'll know if you qualify from the very start. All you have to do is be gentle and kind, I will show you a storybook, love no one else can find. So, enter with caution because i am scared, from those of the past who have already dared. They once had the key... and never truly cared.

  • A Pilgrimage to AOTEAROA touches the hearts and minds.

    Part of a korero taken from: http://tinyurl.com/6orzvt

    Tuhoe iwi, of east-central North Island, that never signed the Watangi Treaty.
    The Tuhoe people are on the threshold of negotiating with Great Britain for their sovereignty.
    This would mean the Tuhoe would codify dominion over their lands and resources, and have power over their own laws, education and health care - areas that never worked for them under the British Commonwealth anyway, Doherty maintained.
    He said ideally Tuhoe sovereignty will be resolved in 2009 and will serve as a model for Hawaiian sovereignty.

  • Urban Tuhoe Perspective: One perspective from ....................

    I was born and bred in the city this wasn’t my choice

    I am to brown to be white and to white to be brown

    To smart to be bad but to bad to be good

    Living in the city but I never belonged

    Maori in the city learn their Reo from a book and look down on those that never would

    But I know where I come from I know of my roots, I know about tikanga and whanau so when we head home, me as a child, the feelings inside me are strange cant you see?

    I saw the Te Urewera, I felt so many things - I am excited, happy and free, a sense of belonging sweeps over me

    I meet my Cuzzies they look us up and down “You fullas are from the city , you fullas are lucky you must be rich”

    Are they kidding me? Why would they think that?

    In the city we are the broke arse Maori kids

    The “don’t play with them kids!”

    Where do I fit? How do I belong? Am I a lost Maori like in the songs?

    As I grow and have children I finally see - that being Tuhoe is inside of me.

    When my baby is sick and the doctors can’t fix him we take him home to the waters of Ohinemataroa where he becomes well again city people cant understand this.

    So when my heart aches because I feel all alone, when I feel nothings right and everything’s wrong

    I look to the stars and know in my heart that these same stars are shining on a small part of the world where my whanau are from

    Hinepukohurangi wraps her arms around me I will always be safe.

    Being Tuhoe its not just about words its about knowing inside that I do have a place

  • Video Info: Accused appear in court over Urewera raids

    Eighteen people arrested in last year's police raids, some of which were carried out under anti-terrorism legislation, have appeared in court this morning.

    The accused, who face firearms charges following the controversial raids in October last year, appeared in Auckland District Court amid a heavy police presence.

    Judge Mark Perkins presided over a brief session as the 18 accused, including Tuhoe activist Tame Iti, had their names read out.

    The court was adjourned until midday when the charges will be formally read out.

    Police have alleged Iti was running military-styled training camps in the Urewera Ranges. However, the Solicitor-General ruled against the application from police to charge him and others under the Terrorism Suppression Act.

    Legal arguments are expected to be made by defence lawyers today to bar all media coverage of the proceedings.

    Judge Perkins has already banned the media from recording or filming today's pre-depositions hearing on the grounds of there being serious security issues.

    Kai te pehea koe? Did you text me last week from an 021 number? Someone texted me and said 'kai te pehea koe' - but I didn't think it was you cos you ALWAYS use punctuation, but then I don't know anyone else that says "KAI" rather than 'kei'..........hmmmmmmm

    Hope all's well with Nanny Peggy? And I hope little Robert hasn't been terrorising the nation :L (Or nan.....!)

    Better go - kids have just walked in so I'd better be a good mama and spend time with them. Oh, and that Martin Luther King app doesn't work for some reason........but thanks anyway. K, cya

    hmmmm tired me ?? well look how long we lasted today Hika and I was at work !!!!!!!!!!! hahahahahahahahahaha [moon]
    So you speak of the "mahi that has gone beyond the boundaries "
    Ae there has been good progress in this area however I think you
    may need to step up your end of the contract as according to my records there seems to be some past debt ie ...Tab that you have not yet settled so this will have to be addressed before i am forced to take action in some form or way. Emergency Pit stop is not nesesary unless you feel that the current arrangement cant be met? I am sure I can keep my end of the bargin but hmmmm perhaps in a couple of weeks we can test drive the full monty to see if your up to standard accordingly lol Hope so !
    I suggest that you contact me asap to advise your position?
    I'll await your response.
    LoL

    Nga mihi nui ki a koe mo tou aroha, me tou tautoko ki au.

    I aku tau katoa, ka tupu au - ka noho au i roto i tenei rohe. Kahore au e mohio nga taangata a tenei i rohe - i nanahi ka tinokino! Ka mea ratou - he mea kotahi - kei muri ahau, he mea kino! As a result, my back is in agony........but my mana is intact!! Ka whawhai tonu ahau.......but not their way....

    Although my pain is crippling, I thank you Matua. The kohu came for me and my peace has been restored........The mamae will too.

    PS - as you probably know, Nan is FINALLY home from hospital! Got home yesterday.
