- Who are we, to tell their stories?
A German film student travels to New Zealand to authentically capture Maori culture. Europeans and New Zealanders he meets all have an opinion about the Indigenous people and their relationship with "Pakeha" - the "white" population of Aotearoa (New Zealand). "We take good care of the Maori", they say. At the same time many Maori are homeless or build roads for the post colonial inhabitants. An Indigenous professor denounces that Maori often do not get a voice themselves. "Reorganise your lens", she suggests the director. And so the story takes an unexpected turn.
This bachelor thesis movie was produced and directed by Dorian Barbera: dorianbarbera.de

The filmmaker traveled a long way to get a story. He truly got a better story than he could have ever imagined. So many layers to see if he can see them.
Thank you, that means a lot to me! 🙂
To me, Pākehā means a New Zealander with European ancestry but a family history in the country. For those who are visitors, or who live here but were born elsewhere and have their family elsewhere I'd use the term tauiwi. That's how I was taught anyway.
It does take a great deal of time and reflection to weave together knowledge. You can't just arrive, capture it and take it away, it just doesn't work that way. The tourist experience of culture is just a glimpse.
I dont know. Am pakeha, born but yer as ive learnt more n lived n known moari people. I feel accepted bit always a pakeha. Thats ok but kinda sux. Thanx
Can he also interview Chatham islanders....interestong what happened to them after Maori hijacked a ship and paid them a visot....best not talk aboit it I guess....does not fit the narrative.
I'm not a Pakeha......I'm a European or white New Zealander
@@dobbynp which is pakeha in Maori, it's just a translation.
@@Tutehanga except it's often used in a way which is less that respectfully so I don't use it and I don't like it.
What a quackup especially listening to that old Pakeha woman saying "they looked after Maori well for 200 years 😳 🤣🤣
Just be thankful New Zealand wasn't colonized by the China as any idiot knows the Maori are still a fuck load better off than the Uyghur or Tibetans.
Exactly! What an ignorant person she is ...
Get fucked these aren't Maori they're Half Castes.
She don't know much for a woman of her age I think..no I know
well they made sure that Maori didn't eat each other
Ah well, another story that misses the mark, highlights the lack and still gives a definition of pakeha that shows the lesson has not been learnt. This is a German documenting in ‘New Zealand’… Nga mihi ki nga whanau hei awhi i a ia. Tihei mauriora!
yeah because Germans aren't allowed to research New Zealand history right?
I get insulted when someone puts me in the same pot as the English. I am born here 6 generations, blood is Irish and Scotland, the English blood runs in the Americans and Australians. not mine.
just because we are all white should not mean we are of the same cloth. same for Europeans from South Africa, Sweeden, Switzerland, Germany, South Africa, etc etc. etc.
Same here , the English stole our land and killed a lot of our people , it was the Crown that took the land , not white people.
Yes your correct 👍 i got heaps of english broz good people! I think its more british the maori have a problem with lol
If your born in new zealand we all one unity brother shake 🙌
It's good to be a proud New Zealander......but only white people deny their heritage......which is a rich cultural background. Embrace whatever you are besides being proud as a kiwi
Scots and to a lesser extent irish were completely on board with british colonisation. Pulling the irish card is literally a meme in America
@@arnoldl8705 I think it's sad that people take on grievances from 100 years or more and act like they personally suffered. While colonisation wasn't good for native populations when it happened.....in the long term they are better off with medicine, technology etc
Great And Wonderful clip.
Thank you! 🙂

true pakeha did improve life span of maori from 30 years old to 60... and stopped you eating each other and stopped the genocide of moriori
@@chrisroger4416 Lol where can I sign up to your crash course research on the history of Maori?
Kia ora , i have listened to the comments of the elderly pakeha women , yes she is right these things happened 200 years ago , and still our people are suffer from colonizaton . She may believe what she see"s as a pakeha women , in that Pakeha have done Maori people right. I would like to know what she means by that. Because i have seen nothing of that in my 49 years living here in Aotearoa . There are many issue"s that still need to be sorted , and if there are people out there that don"t belive that , then they are another issue that needs to be sorted.
akeha did improve life span of maori from 30 years old to 60... and stopped you eating each other and stopped the genocide of moriori. pakeha brought horses which maori thrived from and brought much needed food such as pigs because all maorin had to eat was moa and fish. the moa now extinct
The only colonization you suffer is in your own mind because you are weak and blame your weaknesses on others. Warriors indeed!!!
@@chrisroger4416 What nationality are you ?
@@chrisroger4416 Pakeha brought sickness do you know how many Maori died due to the filth they brought here , and you say they stopped the genocide , how?, through killing men women and children so they could lay claim to their land , Aotearoa history obviously is not part of your strength e tama Tika ?, Teka ranei . you know little if your argument is in support of the crown , haere atu e tama.
Kiwi pakeha born and bred.. ended up in Aussie and had 2 beaut kids but have told them when they go back they are white..not pakeha..they keep asking the difference and i don't knpw..it's all about respect i think-i was taught to count in Maori at same time as 'english' & colours and as much as my mum didn;t like it as i'd been away a while, i learnt the national anthem in maori (sounds good in any language!) My children are Australian and are now very interested in why I identify as "pakeha". I said i just do.. for me it's respect..They're Australian children..god bless but i said have a look at your home space here.. i know it's not perfect back home but am always proud ps they are teenagers who think they know everything..a pakeha isn't just a "white person"- the 17 yr old got on google. I don't know how to teach them what is in my heart..I would like advice, haha
“Unfortunately in this modern age they keep bringing it up”… well pakeha, how would u feel if someone came stole your land and claimed it as their own.. would u learn to accept it? Or teach your kids about the wrong doings, and injustices that occured?
Your people sold most of it.!! The love of blankets and guns was strong with the Maoris. And what did they ever do with the land? Grow a few south American sweet potatoes
@@101sharko HAHAHA someones lacking basic knowledge of New Zealand and Aotearoa history. Also, not sure if you know the difference between Te Tiriti O Waitangi and The Treaty of Waitangi?
Hahaha we know our history very well. Ours was written down! What would Maoris do if there wasn't a treaty?? It's the only thing you hold onto and cherish, and it's a white man's idea and document ! How funny is that 🤣 you're welcome by the way for our pioneering ancestors to create your language then create a rushed treaty in just 3 days ( try doing something like that now, it would never stand up in the court of law!) Then teach your tribal leaders to write their signature, then get them to sign it. You should be thanking us for going out of our way! We could have been more like the Australians but seeing as we had you beat some fool thought it would be a good idea to try and save you from complete annihilation. And it worked,,... so say thank you...
@@101sharko Thanks but no thanks for your unnecessary essay HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.....
@@Keutee yeap, you people always run when you can't back up your radical claims with facts🤣 I enjoy watching you people make outrageous comments and then run away. That's just one way we can prove that pre wonderful Europeans you can't take any claims seriously 😁
13:05 YESSSSSS!!!!!! Well said. The filmmaker who actually included this amazing woman’s wider point in his final edit has made a rare and controversial decision indeed.
The invention of the word “Sovereignty” may have interesting occulted etymology. The concept of sovereignty being a thing that can be bought and sold is by definition an oxymoron. This is surely the ultimate example of “word magic” or “spells”.
Pakeha misconception of KAWANATANGA. The Maori translation of the treaty has been ignored and misinterpreted.
@@teawaruaedwards274 Rubbish...And going over and over and over it 200 years later is not solving anything. we need to draw a line in the sand and stop anymore payouts. i live in Wellington CBD and have never seen the wealthy iwi helping their own with their addictions or hunger. It's disgraceful. And it is mixed cultures who belong to the salvation army etc helping them, not their own people. Who is maori...sadly there is no one who can claim to be 100 % maori left like some other cultures. The germans are responsible the language we know today as english, from medievil england, they split into the celts, pics etc and fought amongst themselves.. and so it goes on, The waste of money spent in government on meetings re te reo etc is incredible and then the maori descendants in the meetings don't always agree with each so then there are more meetings for meetings for meetings instead of getting on and runny the country. The amount of time wasted in these meeting is a huge cost to the taxpayer when the money could be spent on health ,education etc.
We will always bring up ownership
I know the guy on the title screen of this video.....Shaun my bro 😢...is he homeless in Auckland city????
This was a stunning documentary. Thank you for having spent the time to reflect and reorganise your lenses, It was a beautiful thing to see. Especially as a Māori woman who works in tourism, this film is a pretty accurate reflection of how it feels to essentially commercialise yourself. You start to question weather you’re educating or entertaining pakeha. I can see it on the faces of the performers because I’ve felt the same.
It feels like someone tracking mud through your house and refusing to clean it up. Now it’s been dirty so long that nobody wants to take the responsibility to clean it up. So you end up cleaning it best you can but the stain remains visible if you look hard enough.
I’d also like to add that it’s possible for Pakeha to become Māori. Many just don’t because their mindset stops them from seeing the value in having the Māori world view since it’s usually new or conflicting to their existing one. Imagine how boring would the world be if we all believed the same though.
Thank you so much for your positive feedback! :)
Māori is an ethnicity. If you are Pakeha, you cannot “become” Māori. Your bloodline’s from fucking Europe 💯✍🏽!
Are Maori suffering more today than pre colonial era ?
No.
Most Maori wouldn’t be here today if it wasn’t for colonialism.
Why is it that Maori who live overseas such as Australia are successful, civil , healthy, articulate, beautiful, educated , not racist and not continually playing victim ?
Because Maori culture only holds Maori back .
What a load of sheet.
@@blakec2414 imagine if today’s Europeans started to adopt and practise their ancestors culture from a thousand years ago.
The world would collapse.
Health, education would exist, but on a limited scale.
Life expectancy would dramatically decrease.
Superstition would supersede rationality.
The same applies to any people who try to emulate their ancestors ways.
We all know Maori today are represented in the wrong stats today such as crime, education, drug and alcohol, low income.
But in other countries Maori don’t have a high representation in those stats.
They’re getting on with life as an individual and winning.
They place more emphasis on who they are than what they are.
You’re welcome to disagree.
But please explain why.
Cheers 😊
“The same applies to any people who try to emulate their ancestors ways” Hmm yet many Pākeha enjoy watching the haka being performed by the All Blacks, how many do you see adorning pounamu or bone carving, wear kirituhi or Māori designed tattoos, it’s not our culture holding us back it’s yours.
@@manamaori100 some cultures/societies aren’t even aware of their oppression, but what’s sadder is when they’re willing to fight to defend their own oppression.
Tell you stories its your story and no one else's, find the funding, the resources and the means, don't come to anyone else and put your hand out to tell your story, we got our own stories to fund so we can tell them too.
I'm sorry lol Rotorua to carry out your research??? pppft. is only a very SMALL part of Maori. You won't find Maori living like this, making mani from their own people like this but here. Next time, go off grid and find Maori.
What about Waitangi? Raukawa? Kai tahu? Tūwharetoa? Te Whānau a Apanui?
Māori use tourism to make money ALL OVER THE COUNTRY.
Dunno where you're getting your tikanga or your facts from... sounds like you just want to hate on the fulla that made this. That's very colonial of you.
@@mataariatautali9873 oh God, u sound just as annoying as some siblings I know of... lol ur right and wrong at the same time.
You think Maori in Rotorua don't have the struggles as other Maori...get off your high horse
Unfortunately at this day and age we keep bringing up only the truth. Mr pakeha kiora
Looked after Māori well? 🤔
WHEN? 🥴😂
Since the treaty was signed , gave our ancestors undys , and blankets , i don't know why but I reckon our ancestors was alright dancing around the fire , 😮 or Europeans, might call it worshipping, 😂😂😂, there are natives looked after some of them are knighted , , free mason , , they got money land , leases, , just not we us natives , but they dumb they ask for money , land ,,, want land ,resources, back for the natives , 😊
life span went from 30 years old to 60....brought pigs, hoprses, brought roads, hopsitals drs. etc...and a written language and helped make ur language written too
WHATS WITH THE GERMAN SUBTITLES ????
Did you even read the description bro? He's a German film student who travelled here and made this documentary for his thesis. Obviously his German teachers need to be able to understand what is going on, or they can't mark him.
I think bad thinks have happend. Only way is to remeber. N learn from it.
One of my ancestors, David MacNish Jr. was a Pakeha Maori from Trelawny Parish, Jamaica of all places! He was born in 1811 or 1812 as a Quadroon Slave to David McNish and Becky Mulloy and left Jamaica in the 1830s to find his place in the world

That said haft to keep keepin on cos thats the reality, but im pakeha n think we gota slow down n stop shittn on others for money n status. Cheers
No Pākehā simply are White New Zealanders stop bullshitting the viewers.....
There's a lot of mixture of bloodlines now
Pakeha…. means … “ Funny white thing “
Che da cuz
table and chur
This …. Could have been done and edited better . Please 🙏 to the creator and film maker go back ! Let’s do this better the Māori deserve better . Using statistics , Research , don’t give me the tourist view … give me the Māori people’s view !
If you can name which of your ancestors got his land taken off him and I'll find out out which of mine took it from him, then we'll talk, otherwise.... Grow Up!
Conscious decision to migrate here? I thought you were indigenous?
Iost at sea? blown here by luck ?
Unbelievable....😂
This is an extremely shallow video
STOLEN MAORI LAND.GOT AWAY WITH MURDER.
You mean like the Maori did to the Morori.
Fact is the British concepts such as the Rule of Law and Constitutional Government have been a huge asset to the Maori.
@@lennifrost2006 asset to maori? HAHAHA loss of language, loss of land, loss of culture and customs… asset according to white washed ideology.
@@lennifrost2006 What did they do?
@@stephenlennon7369 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moriori_genocide
What a lot of nonsense. This presentation is portrayed as the Maori were hard done by. Really! By1839 they had just about wiped each other out in the so called Musket wars. About 80,000 killed by other tribes between 1830 and 1839. Down from about 170000. Cannibalism, infanticide, slavery was rife. Do you not know about the Treaty of Waitangi signed in 1840. These "poor Maori" ceded sovereignty to the Crown of Great Britain. The coming of the Pakeha, with British Common law saved this people. This film is Racist!!
So not a lot has changed then other than the cannibalism
God bless you all , Jesus loves you all only he can save u repent and turn from your sins and accept Jesus as Lord and saviour and you will be saved. He is the only way to eternal life in heaven once you pass away its too late . ❤✝️🙌
....
Can anyone explain how, when supposedly there has never been white people here before Polynesian Maori colonists arrived, did the Maoris get the idea of gable roof tops?? As the Polynesians never built shelter with gable roof tops anywhere else, where did Maoris get this from🤔🤔🤔 and if they where such environmentalists why did they kill and wipe out an entire species called the Moa and many others..🤔🤔🤔 and if the Maoris where such wonderful nice friendly people, why did they keep slaves? And eat them!! 🤔🤔🤔 Oh there is always two sides to every story..... luckily the first modern pioneers kept detailed written documents about all this, and radical Maoris of New Zealand today can't hide or deny those facts!! 😁
You're literally the old people in this doco lmao 🤣🤣🤣

Didn't you get the memo racist white person? your time is over, you're done. Stay mad pakeha, if you're this mad you can go back to Europe.
