The mainstream media have succeeded in persuading\u00a0the public to dismiss King Tuheitia claim on Tamaki Makaurau (Auckland)<\/h3>\n

Stuff published this\u00a0article <\/a>written by an anonymous editor and sought the\u00a0opinion of self appointed Auckland based plumber David Rankin as somehow representative of Ngapuhi. Stuff also declared the Maori King had been told off\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0by the\u00a0insignificant\u00a0David Rankin. Click h<\/a><\/span>ere<\/a> is a full appraisal of David Rankin’s position within Maoridom.<\/span><\/p>\n

The anonymous editor\u00a0asked the opinion of Winston Peters\u00a0in a PR campaign to set public opinion against any legitimate Treaty claim. Making every effort to avoid \u00a0journalism that intentionally and transparently adopts a non-objective viewpoint,<\/p>\n

Sir Pita Sharples discouraged<\/a>\u00a0King Tuheitia\u00a0worried it could undermine claims from other Iwi. A\u00a0divide and conquer a strategy used often by the crown. An invisible rule\u00a0the crown can only offer the bare minimum\u00a0in compensation to Iwi.<\/p>\n

The Kingitanga \u00a0claim to Tamaki Makaurau\u00a0is legitimate\u00a0this Iwi owned a vast territory right up to Mangere mountain possibly further to the Karangahape Pa.<\/p>\n

The claim could possibly be war reparations for the invasion of the Waikato. An unlawful invasion based on\u00a0the refusal of the Kingitanga to be submissive to Queen Victoria.<\/p>\n

This Waitangi Tribunal claim could include the fencibles barracks at Jellicoe Park in Onehunga and the Onehunga Naval volunteers building. Many of the redoubts and stockades across Auckland\u00a0are within Tainui territory.<\/p>\n

But I’m just speculating so I will leave\u00a0King Tuheitia’s claim to the Waitangi Tribunal before denouncing historical facts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
