The Māori fight for justice leads the way on how to reckon with a dark past. Subscribe and turn on notifications 🔔 so you don't miss any videos: 🤍goo.gl/0bsAjO When the British colonized New Zealand, they left the country’s indigenous Māori population with nearly no land; war and new diseases they introduced to the islands nearly killed off all Māori. Nevertheless, Māori managed to survive — and for decades they protested against the British crown’s pillaging. By the 1970s, the crown could no longer ignore Māori’s mass uprisings rallying for justice; it was forced to respond and established a tribunal to investigate how it violated Māori sovereignty over New Zealand. Since 1995, the British crown has been engaged in a process of land settlements with Māori — giving the tribes back land and cash, and offering apologies for their historical and modern-day thefts. By putting billions of dollars into this reparations program since the mid-1990s, New Zealand is leading the world with this kind of atonement and redress. In this special episode of Missing Chapter, Vox reporter Fabiola Cineas traveled across New Zealand to explore how Māori are using the compensation to build a new future for themselves — and to investigate what the US can learn about reparations from their story.

The Irish people were the first slaves ,EVER!, so where is my reparations?? What I learned is that it’s Bulshit
If we were going to give reparations to the formerly enslaved in America we should have done it when they were alive. I don't know why this is still a topic of discussion, there are zero former African American slaves alive today. They're all now deceased (RIP). There are no former slaves to give reparations to anymore.
i wonder how they were able to convince all the white pepole in the NZ Senate to agree with them
For those of us who live in Aotearoa NZ and have participated in the struggle for indigenous rights, to know that our miserable attempt at 'reparations' is seen as a beacon of hope for other indigenous people, shows how catastrophic colonialism and imperialism has been for indigenous people world-wide and how cunning the Brits were at legitimising theft, daylight robbery. They stole $45 Trillion from India alone. No one has quantified the 'value' conquering Aotearoa NZ represented to the Brits.
I had the honour of walking a few miles on Hikoi as portrayed in the doco. I was honoured to walk in the footsteps of Dame Whina Cooper , of Te Rārawa once, a real leader.
88% of Māori land was stolen and half their people were wiped out by war and disease, anywhere else that would be called a genocide.
I live on a piece of coastland named " Māori Garden Bay", the only Māori that come here are visitors to my whare.
I'll sign off with the lyrics to "Beds are Burning" by Midnight Oil.
Out where the river broke
The bloodwood and the desert oak
Holden wrecks and boiling diesels
Steam in 45 degrees
The time has come
To say fair's fair
To pay the rent
To pay our share
The time has come
A fact's a fact
It belongs to them
Let's give it back
How can we dance
When our earth is turning?
How do we sleep
While our beds are burning?
How can we dance
When our earth is turning?
How do we sleep
While our beds are burning?
The time has come
To say fair's fair
To pay the rent
Now to pay our share
Four wheels scare the cockatoos
From Kintore East to Yuendemu
The western desert lives and breathes
In 45 degrees
The time has come
To say fair's fair
To pay the rent
To pay our share
The time has come
A fact's a fact
It belongs to them
Let's give it back
How can we dance
When our earth is turning?
How do we sleep
While our beds are burning?
How can we dance
When our earth is turning?
How do we sleep
While our beds are burning?
The time has come
To say fair's fair
To pay the rent now
To pay our share
The time has come
A fact's a fact
It belongs to them
We're gonna give it back
How can we dance
When our earth is turning?
How do we sleep
While our beds are burning?
I understand the comparisons between this and Native Americans but I'm unsure how it would be applicable to the decedents of African Americans since their ancestors weren't the original land owners.
You have got to be joking
Yea I guess it's the playbook that the American gov has used against us black Americans. Especially how they like to incarcerate blacks at a very much higher rate.
this stuff is so hard to watch, because its the same story over and over again. the colonisers destroying beautiful vibrant and thriving cultures that are connected to land and country. white folks only know of money for reparations, what to do for the emotional and spiritual damage?
I think that women should pay reparations to men for the millions of men that died in the war while the oppressed women were forced to stay safe at home.
S_potLYuZSY&t=4m20s 4:20 "Te Tiriti O Waitangi" Treaty of Waitangi. The differences between the English and Maori texts of the treaty
Most New Zealanders don't even pronounce the word Maori correctly Ka pai!
The missionaries come first, and then the armies after.
Anyone that would actually deserve reparations is and has been dead for at least a century, and anyone that would owe them has been dead for even longer.
They contemplate it only adter White Out. The indigenous were Black skinned
We gonna get our reparations ADOS Foundation
"All stolen property should be returned"
This story sounds very familiar to the slow process that Canada is going through with its indigenous peoples
The Maori where warriors that ensleved and wiped out populations around them, will they also provide reparations to the Moriari and other indigenous tribes that where killed by them?
It would feel like peanuts because is it possible to put a price on life or to apologize for the horrid things that happened when what happened was so terrible.
