Fuck yes, Hana-Rawhiti Maipi-Clarke, MP. ✊🏼

"New Zealand's parliament was brought to a temporary halt by MPs performing a haka, amid anger over a controversial bill seeking to reinterpret the country's founding treaty with Māori people."

It's pathetic that the Parliamentary camera operators refused to broadcast the haka, instead remaining fixed on the old white man refusing to listen to Māori voices.

@clickhere @jeremy_pm I have no clue what this is really about, but I sense powerful indigenous resistance and it's deeply moving.

It is not only indigenous resistance. Aotearoa has an increasingly powerful multicultural respect for Māori and te tiriti and taking their obligations as tangata tiriti (people of the treaty) to honour te tiriti

This appalling colonial bill hits at the very soul of our existence as a nation.

Watch this for a better idea of what's going on across the country with the people.
