@kayewhitehead Amazing Maori fight back against NZ far-right extreme racist government to take their sovereign rights.

[Rahul Agarwal @rahulagarwal299]

@kayewhitehead I don't know the issue and I don't understand the dynamics but for sure it was a great display of dissent in democracy. I am a fan..

[Roz D @RozisongDavies]

@kayewhitehead As a pakeha (white) New Zealander I consider the haka was entirely appropriate considering the bill before parliament is an attempt to divide our nation. Was proud to watch this.

Barely sober self confessed racist said had he been there in parliament yesterday "he wouldn't have felt safe",
I suggest barely sober avoid all sports events involving a HAKA

When I go to Australia, I know I’m a guest on Aboriginal land. When I go to the states, I know I am a guest on Native American land. So me saying to Non-Māori that you are a guest here in Aotearoa, is not some ground breaking thing🤣

THE MOST BEAUTIFUL DUCHESS

[Donna Miles دانا مجاب @UnPressed]

Watch this incredible protest as the indigenous Maori MPs perform a haka to disrupt the vote on a bill that seeks to diminish their rights.

Imagine if Western politicians had the same courage to stand up to genocide and shame Israel in similar ways.

[Jack McDonald @tautokai]

Can't stop thinking about the leadership shown yesterday by Hana, Rawiri and Debbie and the power it gives our babies to unapologetically be who they are on their own whenua. Incredibly proud to be a member of Te Pāti Māori.

[Máire @MaireNicgiolla]

@Ppl_not_profits @Maori_Party I found it very moving and powerful!!! I've watched it every time it pops up on my feed and gives me chills every time.

[AndaliteBandit @AndaliteBandit]

@Ppl_not_profits @Maori_Party American here, and I have to say, I saw this was in Aotearoa and thought, "Yup, there they go again...the Kiwis know how to do government!" 💚

[Drew Law @Drew129Law]

@Ppl_not_profits @Maori_Party Quite right. I dug out the video of everyone singing Pokare Kare Ana when the marriage bill passed. More strength to you.

[Caroline 🏴❤ @Carolin10040488]

@Ppl_not_profits @Maori_Party I thought it was inspiring got to admit watched it more than once x

[Louisa Hope @LouisaMayHope]

@Ppl_not_profits @Maori_Party It was so powerful - those women are fierce - total respect.
The Huka was equally inspiring and terrifying at the same time.
I hope the NZ Government gets the message because we sure did.

[Shaun taylor @marvgotyou]

@Ppl_not_profits @Maori_Party I honestly enjoyed it, it's also brought worldwide attention to the issue.

[green turtle @GamerrMaijah]

@Ppl_not_profits @Maori_Party Well done te pati Māori and those in support , seem to be the only group a fighting for NZ founding document 💪

[Veronica Glamis Aotearoa💃💃💃💃 @VeronicaGlamis]

@Ppl_not_profits @Maori_Party I believe this is the beginning of a united Aotearoa - not the result Seymour had hoped to achieve.

[Jack N'ice @taxiride72]

@Ppl_not_profits @Maori_Party Being from Scotland, I watched this with a tear in my eye - through disgust at what the colonisers did (and are still doing) but also through admiration. ❤️
