It has a population of 5.084 million in 2020.\u00a0 Today, the majority of New Zealand&#8217;s population of 5 million is of European descent; the indigenous M\u0101ori are the largest minority, followed by Asians and Pacific Islanders. Reflecting this, New Zealand&#8217;s culture is mainly derived from M\u0101ori and early British settlers, with recent broadening of culture arising from increased immigration.

She responded with \u201cshut up you black b****, you disgraceful idiots who go around with those moko on your face,&#8221; \u201cAs I took my phone out of my pocket she stepped toward me and hit me. She then sped off in her car.\u201d\u00a0 Police are investigating the alleged attack. Hohaia\u2019s media spokesperson, Tina Ngata, says the incident has generated conversation about racism in New Zealand.\u00a0 It is apparent that \u201cNew Zealand tends to labour under a myth that we are racially harmonious and so, when we come across instances like this, it tends to generate a lot of indignity and a lot of people asking questions around it.\u201d Ngata says Hohaia was left shaken after the incident. \u201cThis is a really specific kind of abuse that wasn\u2019t just against Ngahina as a woman, Ngata says.&#8221; It was against Ngahina as a M\u0101ori and it was against her t\u012bpuna, her ancestors because, when we wear our moko, we wear our ancestors. \u201cShe\u2019s a resilient person. She\u2019s a strong wahine M\u0101ori and I know that she\u2019ll continue to be resilient.\u201d\u00a0 Ngata says it would be relatively easy to live in Aotearoa and \u201cfool yourself that this kind of thing doesn\u2019t happen. \u201cIt would more than likely be that you are lighter-skinned, don\u2019t wear moko, are not M\u0101ori, or don\u2019t present yourself as M\u0101ori. Once you start wearing moko, or if you are dark-skinned, or if you do speak the reo often in day-to-day life, present yourself as M\u0101ori, then you do come across this kind of racism more often.\u201d The woman who abused Hohaia was there with the Honour the Maunga<a href=\"#_edn12\" name=\"_ednref12\">[12]<\/a> protest group, which has been fighting to stop the felling of exotic trees to protect birdlife. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t surprise me that that person came out of that colonial occupation as well because that is a prime example of a movement of racism that is cloaked in white environmentalism. So that\u2019s where you\u2019ll find that type of racism.\u201d Ngata says it\u2019s time for the government to start paying more attention to the specific colonial racism in Aotearoa. This type of personal attack against the indigenous Maori people of New Zealand emanates from the universal philosophy of white, supremist, colonials who consider themselves as originating from a superior Aryan stock, compared with the dark-skinned Maori people, after invading and occupying their sacred land from the time of the exploratory voyages of Captain James Cook of the British Royal Navy, famous for his three voyages between 1768 and 1779 in the Pacific Ocean and to Australia in particular.<a href=\"#_edn13\" name=\"_ednref13\">[13]<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Historically, the indigenous navigation of the Pacific Ocean and its settlement began thousands of years ago. The inhabitants of the Pacific islands had been voyaging across vast expanses of ocean water sailing in double canoes or outriggers, using nothing more than their knowledge of the stars and observations of sea and wind patterns to guide them.<a href=\"#_edn14\" name=\"_ednref14\">[14]<\/a>\u00a0 The Pacific Ocean is one-third of the earth\u2019s surface and its remote islands were the last to be reached by humans. These islands are scattered across an ocean that covers 165.25 million square kilometres. The ancestors of the Polynesians, the Lapita people, set out from Taiwan and settled Remote Oceania between 1100-900 BCE, although there is evidence of Lapita settlements in the Bismarck Archipelago as early as 2000 BCE. The Lapita and their ancestors were skilled seafarers who memorised navigational instructions and passed their knowledge down through folklore, cultural heroes, and simple oral stories.<a href=\"#_edn15\" name=\"_ednref15\">[15]<\/a><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_202086\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.transcend.org\/tms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/maoris-vawda6.jpg\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-202086\" class=\"wp-image-202086\" src=\"https:\/\/www.transcend.org\/tms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/maoris-vawda6.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"275\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.transcend.org\/tms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/maoris-vawda6.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.transcend.org\/tms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/maoris-vawda6-300x206.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-202086\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Patterns of Indigenous Migration, Navigation and Settlement of the Pacific<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The Polynesian\u2019s highly developed navigation system impressed the first European explorers of the Pacific and since then scholars have been debating several questions:-<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Just as in the present day, mass migration, from impoverished countries, amid civil wars and political turmoil, the question which is often raised, is what was the reason and motivating factor for this migration of Polynesians, across the treacherous Pacific Ocean, infested with huge sharks such as the Great White, popularised by the 1975 American movie, \u201cJaws\u201d<a href=\"#_edn16\" name=\"_ednref16\">[16]<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>Was the migration and settlement of the Pacific islands and into Remote Oceania accidental or intentional?<\/li>\n<li>Was this oceanic migration, due to famine, rising sea levels, infectious diseases, divine, ancestral callings, or simply the spirit of adventure of the Polynesians?<\/li>\n<li>What were the specific maritime, sailing skills and engineering sophistication of the canoes, of these ancient seafarers, which enabled them to cross vast stretches of deep ocean and without any availability of modern navigational technology?<\/li>\n<li>Why has a large body of indigenous navigational knowledge been lost and what can be done to preserve what remains?<\/li>\n<li>What was the structural integrity of the sailing vessels and if sails were used to cross an open ocean?<\/li>\n<li>How did the Polynesians survive in terms of fresh water and food on the small canoes in which entire families were transported?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>While most of these relevant questions, remain unanswered and\u00a0 further research needs to be done before vestiges of oral Maori history is lost forever, the Maoris were the first humans to inhabit New Zealand and are rightfully the indigenous people, of New Zealand.\u00a0 The Maoris certainly arrived well before the invasion of the European-Aryan colonialist stock, occupying their sacred land, in most cases, with total disregard for the traditions, culture, ancestral beliefs, value systems, indigenous knowledge systems and language of the Maori people of Polynesia origins.<a href=\"#_edn17\" name=\"_ednref17\">[17]<\/a><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_202088\" style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.transcend.org\/tms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/maoris-vawda8.jpg\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-202088\" class=\"size-full wp-image-202088\" src=\"https:\/\/www.transcend.org\/tms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/maoris-vawda8.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"318\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.transcend.org\/tms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/maoris-vawda8.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.transcend.org\/tms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/maoris-vawda8-300x191.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-202088\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Polynesian canoes traversing the Pacific Ocean to reach New Zealand<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Currently, the Maori groups are protesting in New Zealand over child removals and use of sacred land, as in the past.

Hundreds of protesters marched in Auckland, New Zealand&#8217;s largest city, and other cities around the country, according to Reuters. The taking of infants into state care, a process known as &#8220;uplifting&#8221;, has been making headlines in the country since mid-June 2019, when an investigation by local media outlet Newsroom showed authorities attempting to take a seven-day-old baby from its 19-year-old Maori mother while she was still in the maternity ward.<a href=\"#_edn18\" name=\"_ednref18\">[18]<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Some have raised concerns that Maori and Pacific Island babies are disproportionately affected by &#8220;uplifts&#8221; due to institutional racism. Over 15,000 people have signed an open letter online urging the government to &#8220;stop stealing Maori children.&#8221; However, the New Zealand launches investigation into Maori babies taken into state care. Last year, judges ordered 281 babies to be taken into care and 71% were of Maori or Pacific Island heritage, the government said in a statement. In New Zealand&#8217;s most recent census in 2013, 14.9% of the then population of 4.2 million people identified as Maori, while 7.4% identified as of Pacific Island heritage.\u00a0 Judge Andrew Becroft, the New Zealand Children&#8217;s Commissioner, announced his office&#8217;s own inquiry on June 16, citing long-running concerns. &#8220;Consequently we have decided to exercise our specific statutory power under the Children&#8217;s Commissioner Act to monitor and assess the policies of Oranga Tamariki,&#8221; tweeted Becroft. On June 19, 2021, New Zealand&#8217;s Chief Ombudsman Peter Boshier announced a wide-ranging, independent investigation into the Ministry for Children&#8217;s uplifting process.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_202090\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.transcend.org\/tms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/maoris-vawda10.jpg\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-202090\" class=\"wp-image-202090\" src=\"https:\/\/www.transcend.org\/tms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/maoris-vawda10.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.transcend.org\/tms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/maoris-vawda10.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.transcend.org\/tms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/maoris-vawda10-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.transcend.org\/tms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/maoris-vawda10-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-202090\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Maori Protest Group against child upliftment<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The controversy is reminiscent of the &#8220;stolen generation&#8221; of Aboriginal children in Australia.<\/p>\n<p>New Zealand has one of the worst rates of child abuse in the developed world. According to Unicef, the children&#8217;s ministry receives over 150,000 reports of concern relating to the country&#8217;s 1.1 million children, each year.\u00a0 In 2017, the government created Oranga Tamariki after finding that the system under the former ministry, was &#8220;ineffective&#8221; and had poor long-term outcomes for children in care.\u00a0 However, the newly-formed Oranga Tamariki has also come under fire. In March, 2021, it announced that in the second half of 2018, there were over 300 instances of neglect, emotional, sexual or physical abuse of children in its care.<\/p>\n<p>Protests over Oranga Tamariki&#8217;s treatment of Maori children came at the same time as Maoris in Auckland mobilised against a proposed housing project on land they consider to be sacred, Reuters reported. The disputes put Ardern&#8217;s government in a tough spot, as Maori votes are important to the prime minister&#8217;s Labour party, said Bryce Edwards, a political commentator at Wellington&#8217;s Victoria University, according to the news agency.<a href=\"#_edn19\" name=\"_ednref19\">[19]<\/a><\/p>\n<p>In the 19<sup>th<\/sup> century, there was overt and official discrimination, great oppression of and disdain towards the Maoris. \u00a0Intolerance towards indigenous people is typical of colonial societies. M\u0101ori, as individuals and communities, were the subject of racism and discrimination as Europeans settled in New Zealand in the 19<sup>th<\/sup> century.<\/p>\n<p>However, the extent and nature of intolerance varied. Partly because of their strength in war and political negotiation, M\u0101ori were accorded civil rights through the Treaty of Waitangi, more than a century before Aboriginal people became full citizens of Australia. M\u0101ori had four seats in Parliament from 1867, and were members of national sports teams from the beginning. There was a general acceptance of intermarriage. It was commonly thought by P\u0101keh\u0101 that M\u0101ori were genetically superior to other native peoples, and at the end of the 19<sup>th<\/sup> \u00a0century they were considered to be Aryans, like Anglo-Saxons.<a href=\"#_edn20\" name=\"_ednref20\">[20]<\/a> \u00a0In 1898 politician and historian William Pember Reeves wrote: \u2018The average colonist regards a Mongolian with revulsion, a Negro with contempt, and looks on an Australian black as very near to a wild beast; but he likes the Maoris, and is sorry that they are dying out.\u2019<a href=\"#_edn21\" name=\"_ednref21\">[21]<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The intolerance of most White people was based less on an assumption of genetic superiority than of cultural superiority. The conversion of M\u0101ori to Christianity, the usurping of their resources, notably land for farming by settlers and the growing dominance of the institutions of the New Zealand state were based on beliefs about the superiority of European civilisation and the perceived backwardness of M\u0101ori culture. M\u0101ori schooling was based on the assumption that M\u0101ori were capable of becoming westernised as \u2018honorary whites.\u201d<a href=\"#_edn22\" name=\"_ednref22\">[22]<\/a>\u00a0 There were instances of racist intolerance. When large areas of Taranaki were confiscated from M\u0101ori in 1865 after the Taranaki wars, this included the land of tribes who had not fought against the government. They lost land purely because they were M\u0101ori.<a href=\"#_edn23\" name=\"_ednref23\">[23]<\/a> In early 20<sup>th<\/sup> century discrimination against the Maoris was resuscitated. The effects of war and disease had a major impact on the size and health of M\u0101ori communities until the early 20<sup>th<\/sup> century. Discriminatory aspects of New Zealand were still very obvious until the 1960s. From 1926 M\u0101ori normally received 25% less than the full rate for old-age and widows\u2019 pensions. Despite the Labour government\u2019s claims of equality, discrimination by the pensions department continued into the 1940s. Not until 1945, following the full participation of M\u0101ori in the Second World War, was this discrimination stopped.<a href=\"#_edn24\" name=\"_ednref24\">[24]<\/a>\u00a0 In 1959 Dr Harry Bennett, a senior medical officer in an Auckland hospital, was refused a drink in the bar of a local hotel because he was M\u0101ori. Other hotels refused bookings from M\u0101ori. Rental properties were advertised for \u2018Europeans only\u2019, and in some places M\u0101ori were kept separate from P\u0101keh\u0101 in cinemas and swimming pools.<a href=\"#_edn25\" name=\"_ednref25\">[25]<\/a>\u00a0 This policy was reminiscent of the apartheid legislature in South Africa, formulated by the British and perfected by the Nationalist Afrikaner government in 1948.<\/p>\n<p>In 1937 senior Treasury official Bernard Ashwin<a href=\"#_edn26\" name=\"_ednref26\">[26]<\/a> explained M\u0101ori levels of pension payments: \u2018On the face of it, it may appear equitable to pay the average M\u0101ori old-age pensioner the same amount per week as the average European pensioner, but in this matter questions of equity should be decided having regard to the circumstances, the needs and the outlook on life of the individuals concerned \u2026 the living standard of the M\u0101ori is lower \u2013 and after all, the object of these pensions is to maintain standards rather than to raise them.\u2019<a href=\"#_edn27\" name=\"_ednref27\">[27]<\/a><\/p>\n<p>After 1945 there was M\u0101ori migration and restored mana, with the indigenous people moving to the city. This meant that M\u0101ori and P\u0101keh\u0101 had greater contact as they intermingled in urban areas, and a new generation of M\u0101ori grew up without significant contact with their cultural heritage.<a href=\"#_edn28\" name=\"_ednref28\">[28]<\/a><\/p>\n<p>In the late 1960s M\u0101ori organisations, influenced by the American black civil-rights movement, challenged the way their culture and rights had been treated. They received support from P\u0101keh\u0101 groups such as the Auckland Committee on Racism and Discrimination (ACORD), which researched the discriminatory treatment of M\u0101ori. Attitudes to race relations changed between the late 1960s and the mid-1980s. The Race Relations Act 1971 prohibited discrimination on the basis of race, nationality or ethnic origin. A Race Relations Conciliator was appointed to set up procedures for investigating complaints about discrimination. Under the Human Rights Commission Act 1977, discrimination on the grounds of marital status, sex, religion and ethical belief also became illegal. P\u0101keh\u0101 intolerance and institutional discrimination were extensively challenged. M\u0101ori activism about land rights, culture and language led to the establishment of the Waitangi Tribunal in 1975 to investigate alleged breaches of Te Tiriti o Waitangi. From 1985 the Waitangi Tribunal could investigate breaches dating back to 1840. M\u0101ori wh\u0101nau, hap\u016b and iwi presented their claims to the Tribunal relating to many actions by the Crown that were breaches of the Treaty. On the basis of findings by the Waitangi Tribunal the Crown embarked on a range of settlements, starting in the late 1980s.<a href=\"#_edn29\" name=\"_ednref29\">[29]<\/a><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_202084\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.transcend.org\/tms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/maoris-vawda4.png\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-202084\" class=\"wp-image-202084\" src=\"https:\/\/www.transcend.org\/tms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/maoris-vawda4-817x1024.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"376\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.transcend.org\/tms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/maoris-vawda4-817x1024.png 817w, https:\/\/www.transcend.org\/tms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/maoris-vawda4-239x300.png 239w, https:\/\/www.transcend.org\/tms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/maoris-vawda4-768x963.png 768w, https:\/\/www.transcend.org\/tms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/maoris-vawda4-1225x1536.png 1225w, https:\/\/www.transcend.org\/tms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/maoris-vawda4.png 1401w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-202084\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The distribution of Maori in New Zealand, with higher concentration in the warmer north<\/p><\/div>\n<p>There was a new sensitivity towards M\u0101ori by state organisations, reparations for Treaty of Waitangi breaches, and the restoration of resources such as fisheries, in 1992, to M\u0101ori ownership. M\u0101ori were active in establishing new institutions such as k\u014dhanga reo (language learning nests) to foster their cultural interests.

It condemned the &#8220;illegal imprisonment&#8221; on the Chatham Islands of a quarter of the East Coast region&#8217;s adult male population and said the loss in war of an estimated 43 percent of the male population, many through acts of &#8220;lawless brutality&#8221;, was a stain on New Zealand&#8217;s history and character.<a href=\"#_edn34\" name=\"_ednref34\">[34]<\/a>\u00a0 During this time, the imprisoned Maori Chiefs who fought against the colonial forces were extremely tortured, and some of them even had both their hands cut off by the British officers , starving them to death, as was informed to the author on a visit to the Islands in 2000 by the local hosts.\u00a0 In other cases, the Maoris were starved to death by the British burning the farms and killing off the protein food source the Moa bird. According to M\u0101ori tradition, moa were swift runners that defended themselves by kicking when cornered. Early Polynesian peoples hunted moa for food and made spear points, hooks, and ornaments from their bones and water carriers from their eggs.

superiority and it is still prevalent in the 21<sup>st<\/sup> century.\u00a0 This phenomenon is the cause of immense suffering over the centuries in different parts of the globe and is responsible for genocides, human discontent, disruption of peace and harmony in the society and the chief causative factor for social decohesion and nation disunity.\u00a0 It ferments acrimony and social radicalisation with over expression in humanoids of the primitive reptilian brain.\u00a0 The SARS Cov-2 pandemic has aggravated these pre-existing social maladies, be they having their foundations in religion, karmas, based on ones\u2019 past deeds, or simply pre-conceived racial superiority of colonisers, subjugating the indigenous people, as experienced in New Zealand.<\/p>\n<p>The question, which we all need to ask, is why is this racial bias and prejudice still present in the 21<sup>st<\/sup> century and what are we, as fellow humanoids, doing about it, collectively and globally to combat this social cancer, while victims are\u00a0 succumbing to this malady?<\/p>\n<p><strong>References:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"#_ednref1\" name=\"_edn1\">[1]<\/a> <a
