- We followed New Zealand’s youngest MP in 170 years as she delivered her maiden speech in Parliament. Subscribe to Re: bit.ly/subscribe-re
At just 21 years old, Hana-Rawhiti Maipi-Clarke, of Te Pāti Māori, is the MP for Hauraki Waikato.
She talks about whānau, what it’s like being in Parliament, and being authentically unapologetically Māori.
She’s passionate about māra kai (food sovereignty), tātai arorangi (Māori astronomy), and maramataka Māori (the Māori lunar cycle).
“I don't want praise, I want people to keep me accountable, I want people to give me constructive criticism cause that’s how I’ll grow,” she says.
“We are here, we are sailing, we are navigating just like our ancestors once did.”

I watched this 6 times!! The passion in her face and movements! The power in her voice while she speaks her Native togue! The Audience joining in and showin the same passion!! Freaking inspiring!! Wow!! I literally shed a tear! 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
brings me to tears
me too bro me too there was a water on my eyes
lol i did that too i am an Arabic i can feel her speech
Neturly tear come
The audience is her whānau supporting her. You can watch her maiden speech on here: Hana-Rawhiti Maipi-Clarke Maiden speech. Powerful
The older lady sitting behind her smiling, it is such a wholesome moment. Like if she wants to say that their future is entrusted to good hands with youngsters like Hana.
young PM is the best !! ha ha ..
Awesome power✨
She is also Maori, and is most assuredly extremely proud of her, as I think damn near all of us in the comments are. She's gonna change the country. I look forward to seeing her thrive.
Shes smiling because thats what you do when you have second hand embarrassment. These things are silly and cringe.
@@Joshuaiwanski0019; just because you have absolutely ZERO pride in your heritage does not mean everyone is the same. The Māori are indeed a proud people, and they deserve to be so. The elder Māori is proud, that is not an embarrassed smile. If you’re gonna be an asshole, this thread is not for you. Why waste your time here if you don’t like something? Just scroll past it.
0:23 goodness .....the pride in their eyes..... The unapologetic confidence they carry in the tone.... For a second gave me goosebumps .....
I know nothing about their culture but I got attached for a
Second....
This is called being rooted... You give out such confident energy that people literally believe in each word you say even if they can't understand
The language.....
I hope she will continue to be passionated about the people just like she is now. Hope she doesn't forget the real reason she became a politician along the way.
I hope she's not going to bring back the custom of eating enemies))))
@@lilia8138typical comment from a racist hiding behind a silly photo
Never lose your traditions and culture...to make them immortal is our responsibility.
Where are the elders.
Why?
@ivywoodxrecords - They were erased or co-oped by the vile colonizers. It will take decades of a new generation of leaders to re-establish a connection to the land and indigenous people who's claim to it was systematic dismantled by settler colonialists.
Crazy tradition
Ache lausde
She is an example to the whole world, every one of us indigenous peoples should keep our tradition, culture immortal. I’m living in the UK from Nepal
She wants to folow her traditions in her native country not in a foreign country
Lol no she cray cray
I don't think the Nepalese are indigenous to the UK...
@@ricardocabeza6006exactly, bunch of hypocrites.
@@ricardocabeza6006 no we are not, but if UK was to invite all nepalese there permanently, Nepal would be empty lol, Nepali people are crazy about settling abroad
She is so right. Fight the evil governments all around the world.
😂
Please, notice, you can elect a good government, or a lesser evil one. That lady *was elected* for that office, and now she *is part* of the government. That's how you "fight:" run for office or vote for good people.
Comments in social networks don't effect change.
Chilean here. I know. We voted out a full-blown 16-years-old dictatorship.
When she did this war performance, I thought it's she who is the evil :).
Nice to see more native of New Zealand getting in to politics.
Is she fully native as in Moari?
It's not as if Maori representation in the NZ parliament is an issue. They're 17% of the population and 27% of parliament.
@@immi117 she is a member of te Pati Maori (the Maori party) and is the elected member of parliament for a seat that ONLY Maori are allowed to be enrolled on ,so yes she is tangata whenua (Maori). She is also a leader within her own Iwi (tribe) and has universally earned the respect of both her people and others in the broader Maori and New Zealand community
@immi117, there are no true Maori left ,what we have today are mixed bloods,with the majority of their blood of mixed race
Thanx guys for infor
No true blood left
War dance is not necessary in parliament
Fear enuf in rugby field but little respect
I’m frm fiji we got our dance
Do we do that in parliament nope
Outside at ceremony yeah
Chill young generation chill
Ancestors suffers not youngies so respect n moral thnx
God bless this fearless young lady. I am 70 + now, & have listened to political Liars all my life, & in the UK, they really are now showing their. true colours.
They seem to Love WARS, & make us pay for their total incompetence. I love this young MP, we need as many honest MPs as we can get. Then people will give them all the support they need to bring about a brand new world. 💜💛❤️. Truth is Power for the good.
My hat is off to her. Amazing - Powerful - On time. The world needs this kind of change and awakening.
Love seeing all that pride and passionate for their culture
Hopefully politics won’t destroy her. Wonderful young woman.
But there was nothing reconciliatory ? Being in prolonged vibe of victimhood will destroy them. Start reconciliatory vibes.
@@indieboy1033si è solo presentata. Ha presentato la sua comunità, il suo popolo, le sue radici. Non c'è nulla di più bello!❤
@@indieboy1033 "Being in prolonged vibe of victimhood will destroy them." Those who people committed the oppressions on others always say things like that. Because they want them to forget....not forgetting is what makes your people stronger.
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger? I just hope she can make a positive difference before she burns out.
Dios permita que no se infecte de "politicas"
That tiny video gave me goosebumps. Imagine being there! What pride and honour
Same here !
She is very natural and great! All the world will need leaders like her!
She has them all acting like they're demon possessed 😂
That's right, the whole world will start eating each other, which is actually what's happening now
Um no we didn’t eat just anybody you had to have mana (prestige)or of high importance
So proud! So inspiring! So genuine! So orginal! So beautiful! Young people are equally important into today's politics.
so insane, if she want's to be a professional she should act like one not a howling Creighton
Good for her, how can anyone not respect thus young woman
I can’t believe that. I also 21s. How confident she is
Respect your forefathers your motherland your culture ❤❤❤❤
Absolutely love her spirit . May God Bless her to become an amazing politician.
I am feeling proud of this new generation they are brave and breaking the barriers of racism and divisions specially the ladies. Salute to them
That's so powerful and equally emotional 😢
Brave lady,more power to such honest and dedicated females
I hope she actually helps their people and not just become another politician in the country.
I'm equally emotions with this young MP. Every Native culture must be preserved.
Including British etc
"emotional"
@@keekwai2British, American and Canadian
In india tribal people are considered as lowlypeople. They have reservation but people want to remove it although they are not even able to use it.
Hope our tribal people get uplift also .😢
@@tusharkhanger8558 I'm tribal too from India chattisgarh, but I lived in Nagpur, why do you think that people think lowly, you need to yourself get this in your head, I've never felt that tbh😅, but yes we all need to grow together🙏, honestly all the people in my life are great who respects my tribal culture and the way we follow tribal Hinduism❤
This is so amazing. Inspirational.
She is so beautiful yet powerful, even being woman she didn't hesitate to show such wild side breaking beauty stereotype, she showed how much pride she carry on her roots, it was very powerful, ❤️🔥 and moving. Goosebumps
What’s traditional got to do in parliament
Fear enuf traditional but haka serious
Finally diversity and breaking of age barriers in politics a world achievement
Diversity is awesome! Someone who's been out of high-school 3 years holding a federal office? Not so much.
It will be finalized when Maori becomes co official language with English in NZ.
I appreciate her qualities and want all New Zealanders to remember: that she will be the Prime Minister of the country someday, possibly making history as the youngest Prime Minister in the New Zealand Parliament.🕊
Goosebumps
They still respect their culture and history ❤
HAKA never fails to give me a ghoose bump. Oh My God I wish we had this culture in our country. Love from 🇮🇳
But what is the relevance of Haka in parliament? Is the parliament a war zone?
@@Achintyanath 1st ans: permanent is for people, so obviously for their culture too.
2nd ans: To start a war or not, decision and declaration is always told there in the parliament.
You have so many such traditions in your country. Don't you know?
So basically it shows, you have no idea about your own bharatiya civilization.
It's the Maori Party. The haka is done in plenty oc situations, but especially when pakeha attack Maori, ehich this goverme t has done!!!@@Achintyanath
Eventho i’m 60 years old , i believe young MP’s are needed to move the country forward.
young PM is better the old PM .. ha ha ..
The haka is a war song. "I may die for you. But I will live for you." Hana is the youngest MP in New Zealand's 170-year history at 21. Maori means the original inhabitant represents New Zealand. SHe responded to the opposition attacking his home, the Maori community, in this way in Parliament.
You got one part of that wrong. The youngest MP ever elected in New Zealand history was James Stuart-Wortley who was 20 at the time.
... NOT the original inhabitant (despite that being the loose translation of the name). The Maori wiped out and reportedly ate the previous inhabitants, the Moriori. So lets make a deal, lets forget about who was 'first' and just deal with what we have now and get along. I'm excited to see a young intelligent passionate person in government.
@@scruffygaming627
I’d like to read that report, because the history I know about is how the Maori came to the Moriori and killed them or enslaved them.
As I recall, the Moriori didn’t live on mainland NZ.
The Maori indeed were the agressors and the Moriori lived by a pacifist law “Nunuku”.
But eaten? As I said. Point me to the report please, because I’d like my concept of history to be as precise as possible.
@@Traitorman.14.3 Indeed, the The Maori brutally invaded a peaceful NZ island of Moriori, slaughtering a 12 year old girl and hanging her flesh on a stake, then slaughtered large numbers of non-violent Moriori , torturing, and splaying alive on the beaches to slowly die in great pain. Enslaving the rest and ritualistically eating some (as they reportedly did in other encounters with Maori/Europeans).
The reports of Maori cannibalism is ritualistic, written in correspondence by European missionaries, ship captains logs and expedition reports.
I don't have the references sitting in front of me, but i'm sure you can google it.
@@scruffygaming627
So they reportedly ate “some of them”. Not all as suggested in your post.
So good to see and hear.
Soooooooo glad to watch the way she represented her Roots and really appreciate it..... she is the real future.... God bless you Sweetest Lioness... God bless you....
HANNA you make your country proud and awake with positieve energie, its time for the People
I didn't understand anything, but I loved whatever you did there. To me it seemed like a war cry. As if all your pent up pain just came out from your heart like lava...kudos..
Finally found a video of her talking with all smiles..
Spiritually, mentally, hearty and physically well balanced. Congratulations for your courage.
She’s a bright light in a dark hall, and there’s more bright lights to come in and God bless her throughout eternity
i saw this on tiktok i i said i must document on this lady, from her reaction she will be a good leader
You have excellent foresight.
have been a boxer for almost 20 years. It is impossible for me to be afraid of a statement or exaggeration in grinding me like dough from the first round. I have never been afraid at all, but for the truth, if I met this girl and heard what she said, I would definitely be afraid because fear as a linguistic term has variation and differs from one person to another. What scares you may not scare me and what does not scare you. It might make me panic!
Believe me, she won a round against me before the match started
Well done girl
No one here believes that you are actually afraid to fight a tiny school girl.
Otherwise you would not have survived as a fighter for 20 years.
Try again...
That is what culture means..😢..I totally understand her feelings...
Best wishes hana , Beautiful New Zealand ,May god bless this community.Māori
Congratulations 🎉 young Queen make your mark!
Just another maori playing a victim
Huge respect! 👏
My best wishes to this beautiful ladyI hope that you will better the lot of your people
Age does not matter. Serving the people with a passion such as this young woman inspires me!
Iam from Nepal and indigenous society and so proud you MP
So beautiful to see natives all natives deserve respect.
I'm from Sri Lanka (+ an Australian), I also felt the proud native speech moment that she delivered although I did not understand a single word in maori.
This gives me chills I love her I hope she does well.
That's power !!
Always be proud of your culture...
brilliant. And the best Haka i have ever heard and I have listened to many of them.
Do your thing my fellow citizen of t this planet. Bets wishes for much strength and wisdom. Marcus Solomon, Cape Town, South Africa
What a wonderful, young lady. I hope she will represent all the people of her constituency. All power to her!
I’m not going to change…
she is 21 !
Ojalá todos los pueblos del mundo fueran tan orgullosos de su tradición como el pueblo Maori, con la expresion de esta Haka hecha por la joven diputada. Viva el pueblo Maori.
Love from india and we support Māori peoples and this land is yours not whites
I support Maori people
Great comment. Yes. An amazing culture here in NZ.
Stunning entrance.🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Madness at its peaks😅
Terus junjung tinggilah nilai budaya.. Jika budaya negara itu telah rusak maka negara itu pun akan hancur.. Salam dari Indonesia 🙏

Amazing I listened again and again
This was so beautiful to see and listen, much love from India 🇮🇳❤May God bless her and her people❤

Admirable! What a wonderful person...Good luck for your important task! ❤
GREAT YOUNG LADY!!! YOU HAD SO MUCH COURAGE! SO MUCH POWER! GREEEEAT!
I don't understand a single Maori word , but I must say that Maori performance was inspiring.
Politicians shouldn't be performers, and voters shouldn't appreciate what they can't understand.
@@odinsrensen7460 but non newzealander like me can surely appreciate😜
90% of all Maories also dont understand the language....this one is talking to herself !!!!
LsIam destroyed Iraq culture, Egypt culture, Persian culture, Turkish Culture, Afghan, Indian, Indonesian, Malaysian, many African & now European. So you can stop pretending.
Sorry I just had to laugh out loud by her Performance 😂😂
Greetings from Tamilnadu தமிழ்நாடு ❤
Good ❤❤
Rise of kumari Kandam...she is an example of it...vetrivel...veravel..
Pretty, agressive and bold. A mix of a perfect leader!
Very impressive to have a motivation, passion for her people.
Probably a revolution mindset. Need of the hour in New Zealand.
No need to mention pretty. Lets just focus on their quality when talking about women
@@shashamiaow1504 Looks make a difference. Creates first impression.
@@srikar2311 Then you can say she looks presentable. “Pretty” doesn’t belong here. You sound shallow.
I love how she spontaneously burst out in laughter, then remembered she was supposed to remain composed and quickly pulled herself back together.
வரலாறு விட்டு கொடுக்கக் கூடாது என் இனத்தின் நிலை இது தான் உலகின் முதல் இனம் என் தமிழ் இனம்

I hope that New Zealand will integrate with the native culture like Hawaii and it would be good to see more non-Maori people speak the language too
Respect for this young girl from India
I appreciate your confidence who respect our Community and our culture 🙏 ♥️ ❤️ 💜
Respect from India
I think the Maori culture is extremely strong, humble and respectful...very similar to thd Indian culture. The other similarity is the dominance, suppression and cruelty by (my) British people.
Your comment speaks a thousand words.
She's a MP SHE'S 21 AND LISTEN I'M IMPRESSED AND PROUD SHE DID EXACTLY THIS EFFORT WELL PLANNED ON HER EXCISION ON THIS BARRETT GOOD FOR HER STANCE WAS REMARKABLY NEEDED WAS SHOWN HEARD AND WITHOUT ANYONE SAYING ANOTHER WORD SHE PREPPED SO WELL BRILLIANTLY DELIVERED!! FACTS
A proud moment for first nations all over the world 🌎.We see the fire of our ancestors burning in your eyes.The vibrancy and exuberance in your gestures .You are an inspiration to us in South Africa, America and Palestine.God bless you
21 not an age to be an MP..but she’s proud of her culture which is appreciable
Could you please let us know what the age is to be an MP?
Also, do you think that she was elected because she is proud of her culture? Or why?
@@barbsmart7373 21 is when people learn to take decisions right for themselves. Not sure if it's possible to work for mankind entirely unless she is exceptionally smart which is also a possibility but rare
What do you mean? If she wasn’t allowed to be an MP at 21, she wouldn’t be an MP. 😂😂😂
@@rexguy7823
Firstly, perhaps you could grow some balls and ask "these Maoris" about the Moriori.
Regarding the "age to be an MP", do you know that Dame Jacinda Ardern became an MP while she was in her 20's? Can you work out why she kept on being re elected every 3 years between 2008 and 2023? Did her constituents think she was too young in 2011, 2014, 2017, and 2020? That's a lot of times she was re elected, don't you think?
And what do you think of the historical result in 2020, when she was really only just hitting 40 ( after being in politics for 23 years, and being an MP for 12 years?
Do you think we would've been better off with an older guy like Boris in charge during the massacre and the pandemic? Or perhaps a really old guy like Donald? Or perhaps someone the age of the Aussie prime minister. Do you remember NSW just a few years ago?
Do you know the median age of Hana's people in Hauraki- Waikato?
I know the answers to all of this because I am a Kiwi and I care.
I am not a racist from a different country, with a different religion, who has opinions that don't match any of ours.
The median age of Maori in Hana's electorate is 23.
She is really in a good position to represent her people.
Nanaia Mahuta is a totally awesome leader, but it is the people who decide. Not you. And not me. It is offensive to me how you speak about our Maori people AND our world renowned prime minister who saved around 70, 000 lives.
I remember what went on in India. It was not nice. The whole world wished they could be here.
I will be watching this wahine toa with great interest.
A revival has started. Just because three older racist guys, two with no experience as political leaders whatsoever...are in power, doesn't mean New Zealanders are going to sit back and do nothing.
@@barbsmart7373 I would say that Jacinda Ardern was the worst thing that happened to NZ. Just glad she's gone
Very moving, powerful woman, powerful heritage, powerful people.
I ask myself why do I want to cry when I see this emotional video of young PM? Greetings from Kazakhstan 🎉
I'm from India, full respect U n your confidence,, All the best,
Very proud young lady
Girls and Boys of this era goes easy on forgetting their roots. But this young parliamentarian is very proud of her culture and nativity. Hope this becomes wild fire inspiration to other youngsters.
Traditions....She is great...
I hope she is far wiser and less erratic than when I was 21.
She is the real one and only real wonder and daring lady
When the voice of the exploited victim becomes loud then it is the time of change. We know what discrimination is due to society, we too have suffered that pain.
It feels good to see our civilization standing up as our weapon.
❤ from Thamizh Nadu, India.
This lady will rule and will have a great power in the future. Though can't understand the words I appreciate how she perform it really meant within her heart the message she is delivering and how she express with feelings is awesome.
This was brilliant. What an absolute inspiration.
Love this woman from Nagaland ❤❤❤
Every country must have this kind of young leader
Inspirational indeed, future priminister for sure. Wishes from Srilanka.
