'We have been subject to unrelenting colonisation, it changes it's form - we've had to relitigate arguments around race we thought we'd won. Don't take it for granted - your space is not secure.' - Linda Tuhiwai Smith

Ka whawhai tonu mātou… the resistance continues

#BREAKING | Thousands have gathered this morning for mass nationwide protests. tinyurl.com/protestconvoyn…

A Tongan community leader says he's "saddened" and "appalled" by the New Zealand government's decision to review the Treaty of Waitangi and scrap anti-smoking laws, which would disproportionately impact Māori and Pasifika. 1news.co.nz/2023/12/09/pas…

“We’ll fight them in the courts. We’ll fight them in the streets, in the media, on social media, on every platform we can access. If the opportunity comes, we'll take it.” — Professor Margaret Mutu e-tangata.co.nz/comment-and-an…

#WATCH: The new Government is threatening to axe programmes that offer Māori and Pacific people preferential treatment to enter medical school. Academics say it's "unfortunate" to even consider ending the scheme. 1news.co.nz/2023/12/11/gov…

“We have to go and be responsible and hold the burden of the faces of Pacific Islanders and tell them what our leaders have done to them today. How do we go home and tell them the result, that the world has sold us out?”

“After all these years of fighting for our place and rights, the research has had a healing component. It’s allowed us to look from the outside in — to reflect on where our community is at today, and on our relationships with our families.” e-tangata.co.nz/reflections/fi…

“I spent my entire teenage life in state care. I bounced around Pākehā foster homes but was never placed with whānau, despite having 17 biological aunties & uncles to choose from.” — Kerri Cleaver on plans to repeal section 7AA of the Oranga Tamariki Act. e-tangata.co.nz/reflections/we…

What mustbe at the forefront of our actions is the fight against the racism, antiMāori, homophobic, transphobic, misogynist attacks that are being enabled by the National led coalition. We will not go away. We will not be made invisible. We will not relinquish our ways of being.

My thing is, white people are afforded a seat at the table for studying our art forms and cultures, but when we reference our cultures and art forms which we are experts in through LIVING them, we aren’t afforded the same treatment.

This is the most severe punishment handed down in our history. The worst on record was 3 days. When tangata whenua resist, colonial powers reach for the maximum penalty. This is a warning shot for all of us to fall in line. E kore rawa matau e tuohu! #toitūtetiriti
