Tim Wikiriwhi speaking at another event.
Kia Ora.
I am Tim Wikirwhi.
Of the Arawa waka
I emphatically support the Treaty Principles Bill, and look forward to a future day when the false doctrines of Treaty separatism have been tossed into the wastebasket of history.
What is this Treaty Principles Bill fundamentally about?
Some people will say it’s about figuring out the correct relationship between Maori and Pakeha .. and there are strong conflicting opinions about that.
I contend this is not truly fundamental instead the point of this bill is to dig down through nearly 200 years and present to the New Zealand people concisely *What the Historically objective meaning of the Treaty of Waitangi *Really was* according to those who penned the document, Then explained it’s meaning to the Maori Chiefs, who then debated whether or not they should sign it… And sign it they did.
That is all that matters… that we get to the historical truth!
It matters not whether we approve or disapprove of the historical truth about the Treaty… our feelings must be kept separate from this investigation so that the objective truth may be understood… and upheld… regardless of whether that Truth is convenient… or politically correct… or nice… or nasty.
Too many people involved in this Bill are not being honest or objective but seek to re-interpret the Treaty in ways that serve their own interests and bias.
That is dishonest and Corrupt!
If you want to understand Te Triti O Waitangi… all you need to do is go read the Littlewood Treaty!
Yes we have the original English draft of the Treaty… in the hand of James Busby… and when you compare Te Tiriti O Waitangi to the Littlewood draft I have been assured by experts they are a perfect match.
I call this committee to enter the Littlewood Treaty as evidence to the true meaning of Te Tiriti O Waitangi.
Please don’t pretend that important historical document has no relevance to this bill!
It was from the Littlewood document that Henry Williams translated Te Tiriti O Waitangi.
So it is fundamental!
The Littlewood Treaty clearly states… article 1. ‘The chiefs of the Confederation of the United Tribes and the other chiefs who have not joined the confederation, cede to the Queen of England for ever the entire Sovreignty [sic] of their country.’
Secondly we have recorded history of Governor Hobson clearly stating when shaking the hand of every chief after they had signed the treaty… “He Iwi Tahi Tatou” “We are now one people”.
That clearly embodies the spirit of the Treaty.. the very day it was signed.
My time is short. I have one other piece of historical evidence… *Hold Up 50 Dollar Bill*
See this image on this bank note!
It is of a truly great man… A Statesman… Sir Aparana Ngata.
Of historical mana that has no equal today.
In his speech at the Centennial celebrations of the Treaty of Waitangi on February 6, 1940 he said:
“Let me say one thing. Clause 1 of the Treaty handed over the mana and the sovereignty of New Zealand to Queen Victoria and her descendants forever. That is the outstanding fact today. That but for the shield of the sovereignty handed over to Her Majesty and her descendants I doubt that there would be a free Māori race in New Zealand today.”
This quote reflects Ngata’s perspective that Māori chiefs, by signing the Treaty, transferred sovereignty to the British Crown, a view he also expressed in other writings, such as his 1922 booklet The Treaty of Waitangi: An Explanation. There, he elaborated on the first article of the Treaty, stating that the chiefs ceded “the Government of all their lands” to the Queen, interpreting this as a complete transfer of authority or sovereignty.”
There you have it!
This is the opinion of one of The Maori Peoples greatest champions of the Colonial era.
Succinct and unequivocal.
Yet today we have powerful political vested interest groups who have spend decades falsifying history… seeking to muddy the waters about the True meaning of the Treaty… for their own gain… at the expense of all New Zealanders but themselves. They have ensnared many common Maori people, embroiling them in a diabolical and fraudulent political scheme that now holds our entire nation to ransom. This Brings shame, weakness, and degradation upon the Maori People… not honour… not strength!
Let us end these lies now!
Appreciate this Fact! Today All Kiwi of Maori ancestry … like myself… we all.. also share Pakeha Blood in our veins too!
The spirit of the Treaty has become Flesh and Blood… we are now literally one mixed blood!
How is it that scheming politicians seek to politically divide our Nation when in truth to do so we must deny history and our own biological truth!
I say We are all whanau now!
Let us Free the Maori people, and all New Zealanders from the Fraud of Treaty separatism and acknowledge we are all created equal and that *as one people*… New Zealanders… that Racial equality before the Law is essential for justice in our land… and that is what the Treaty Truthfully established here under British Rule of Law.
Thank you for hearing my submission.
I make myself available to the committee for any further assistance I might be for the purpose of Due process for this Bill.

Richard Prebble resigns from Waitangi Tribunal
It is a real shame this article is paywalled. Here are some quotes:
“I have resigned as a member of the Waitangi Tribunal.
The Treaty is our founding document; two peoples peacefully agreeing to form a nation.
When in Parliament, I supported the tribunal being able to investigate historical breaches of the Treaty.”
“The Treaty is clear. It is a preamble and three articles. We also have the instructions to Governor Hobson.
The Crown offered its protection, guaranteed property rights and extended the rights of British citizenship.
In return, Māori ceded sovereignty, agreed to the Crown having a right of pre-emption and accepted the duties of citizenship.”
“The Waitangi Tribunal has declared it is not bound by previous tribunal rulings that sovereignty was ceded or by decisions of the courts.
The tribunal now says there are two Treaties, one in English and another in te reo, that are not translations of each other.
Accordingly, the tribunal has turned the Treaty upside down and ruled:
– Sovereignty was not ceded.
– The Crown pledged to enhance the chiefs’ authority.
– Queen Victoria agreed to govern in partnership with 650 chiefs.
– It is for Māori to decide what is to be decided by Māori.
– Māori were promised economic equality.
– Māori only agreed that the Crown could control settlers.”
“There were chiefs who had been to Australia and England. Chiefs who signed the English text. Chiefs who did not sign because they said they would not cede sovereignty.
No chief, including Hone Heke, who may have regretted signing, ever said that sovereignty had not been ceded.”
“Letters written by chiefs who signed the Treaty to governors complaining the Treaty was not being honoured never denied that sovereignty had been ceded.
Partnership is a 20th-century invention.
Having a tribunal that does not follow court rulings or its own previous findings is politically destabilising and unsustainable.”
“Article Three, which granted the rights and privileges of being British subjects, has been reinterpreted to be a promise that successive governments will ensure equality, the socialist dream.
Governments can deliver equality before the law, the right of British citizens.
No government ever, anywhere, has delivered economic equality.
As we will never have economic equality, the tribunal has created an endless grievance that can never be met.”
“I recently received a copy of the tribunal’s proposed 10-year strategic plan. The tribunal is going to be very busy hearing claims that inequality is a breach of the Treaty.”
“The tribunal’s rulings only have legal effect when the Crown adopts them. The Labour Government and now National have failed to respond to the tribunal’s radical ruling.
The Minister of Justice should have upheld earlier tribunal decisions that sovereignty was ceded.”
“In the absence of political leadership, the civil service has adopted the tribunal’s invented Treaty principles.”
“In my letter of resignation, I have recommended the Government implement its coalition agreement and upgrade the tribunal by appointing a senior High Court judge, as was done when the tribunal was first set up.
The tribunal insults the chiefs when it says the chiefs did not mean to accept the Crown’s protection, create a nation, protect their property rights and extend citizenship to all Māori.
I will not participate in turning the Treaty into a socialist manifesto.
Ignoring the issue is not the answer. It is time for the Prime Minister to lead and uphold that there is one Treaty, one country and one citizenship.”
