ORIGINALLY MADE IN RUATOKI ™ - Quote: Na Pokaiwhenua McGarvey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."

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.

Rev Theory - Voices
I hear voices in my head
They council me
They understand
They tell me things that I will do
They show me things I'll do to you
They talk to me, they talk to me
You got your rules and your religion
All designed to keep you safe
But when rules start getting broken
You start questioning your faith
I have a voice that is my savior
Hates to love and loves to hate
I have the voice that has the knowledge
And the power to rule your fate
I hear voices crying
I see heroes dying
I taste the blood that's drying
I feel the tension rising
I hear voices in my head
They council me
They understand
They tell me things that I will do
They show me things I'll do to you
They talk to me, they talk to me
All the lawyers are defenseless
All the doctors are disease
And the preachers all are sinners
And the police just take the grease
All you judges you are guilty
All the bosses I will fire
All you bankers will have losses
And politicians are all liars
I see darkness falling
I hear voices calling
I feel justice crawling
I see faith has fallen
I hear voices in my head
They council me
They understand
They tell me things that I will do
They show me things I'll do to you
They talk to me, they talk to me0 Comments 68 days
