This is a turning point for all New Zealander’s with Maori to stand together and protect our Mother Earth Papatuanuku....this sanctuary....this Eden....Ihumātao is alive and is inhabited by its natural nature.....Ihumatao calls for us to protect them......they call us to be obligated as Humans who dwell in partnership with them to do our duty.....to leave this place as sacred . Ihumātao is a sacred place of connection to Papatuanuku a place of journey ..Thank you Pania.....Thankyou again for hearing this voice and sounding it to all of us to hear....Much respect and Love to you all in this journey.....

Ihumātao heritage has far more value to New Zealand than the heritage of the Civic theatre. The Fletcher housing development is not heritage therefore should not be built on heritage land. Ihumātao is irreplaceable and must be saved.

30 million dollars was taken from the kiwibuild fund (a fund to build affordable homes) and was used to stop 480 homes from being built on private land. Private land that was supposed to be protected from being claimed with the massive treaty payouts. WTF?
This is correct. Private land, adjacent to Ihumatoa, and Maori were set to benefit. People living at the site are illegal squatters, don't be fooled. Dangerous woman! And guess what, it was handed to them.
@Robin Tamihere If the state confiscated my home 200 years ago I would be long dead and would not be in any position to claim compensation. The thieves and the victims are long since dead. Its time to move on. They arent just picking at a scab. they are cutting a new wound. How much extra tax are you willing to pay to raise the money to buy the land to 'give back?'
@@michellejane9092 Well the Kingitanga seemed pretty calm and algud about it. If its Tainui, then let THEM sort it. Besides, Maori don't know how to look after anything. They can't even unite as a people and they never will because they're too egotistic and rip one another off. Whina Cooper, Te Puea and Eva Rickard were people with many years of experience and great mana and knowledge far greater than Pania. She should NEVER be compared to them either. Quite frankly, looking at the way Maori are today, Im quite glad our tupuna signed the treaty. If we can't look after our own, how then can we even look after whenua? Our people have gone to the pits in many ways. Its sad to watch us go down this way...

Couple of questions: Did not the tribal eldership sign off this development, not simply the developer and the white man colonialist? Is there not a housing crisis in New Zealand requiring new housing to increase the availability of new, high quality homes? Love to hear thoughts.
The land was confiscated by the crown in 1863. Should never have happened. As for housing, we have empty homes all over Auckland. This idea that more homes will fix the housing crisis is bollocks. Not only that, but they can build in other, less historically and culturally significant areas.
