HISTORY

The Truth: Read the truth about the Declaration of Independence
Activist Statement: Rangiaowhia was the site of one of the most horrific war crimes ever perpetrated by the Crown against Maori in NZ history.
The Truth: This is not true. Read the truth about the so-called ‘invasion’ of Rangiaowhia. https://issuu.com/esisite/docs/the_truth_about_what_happened_at_ran giaowhia

The Truth: No, a small percentage was confiscated due to Maori rebellion. 92% of Maori land was sold. Mike Butler explains here. https://issuu.com/esisite/docs/did_maori_have_all_their_land_stolen
Activist Statement: Maori did not sell any land before 1840.
The Truth: Yes, they did. H.H. Turton’s Old Land Claims document provides evidence of all the land sales pre-1840: https://issuu.com/esisite/docs/jean_jackson_s_book_4_pre_treaty_land _sales

TREATY MYTHS
Activist Statement: The Treaty is a partnership.
The Truth: Judge Anthony Willy explains how we know the Treaty is NOT a partnership: https://issuu.com/esisite/docs/judge_anthony_willy_on_partnership_in_ the_treaty_n
Activist Statement: The English version of the Treaty is a poor translation of the Maori te Tiriti.
The Truth: You’ve got it back to front. The Māori version of te Tiriti is a translation of the final English draft of the Treaty written by James Busby. The two documents match each other perfectly.
The rogue James Freeman version (RJFV) typically referred to today as the Treaty in English, IS NOT the final English draft. There are vast differences between the RJFV and the Treaty in Maori. Find out more here: https://issuu.com/esisite/docs/the-treaty-of-waitangi-true-and-fake-1
Read how the rogue James Freeman version of the Treaty came into being.
Activist Statement: What the Treaty says is up for debate.
The Truth: Read the final English draft of the Treaty written by James Busby to understand the meaning of the Treaty. It’s virtually identical to the Maori te Tiriti.
Activist Statement: Colonisation and systemic racism are to blame for poor Maori social statistics.
