A rare national meeting has been called by the Kiingitanga, to discuss the rising concern surrounding the newly established government’s policies on indigenous rights.
the Maori tribe are the indigenous Polynesian community of New Zealand, and as of recent, are being faced with oppressive policies being manufactured in parliament, including but not limited to; reduced/removed rights to autonomy, reduced/removed use of native tongue in public services, causing many Maori to change their native names for more Eurocentric ones.
As a result, Kiingi Tuheitia Pootatau Te Wherowhero VII, has summoned around 3,000 Maori leaders to discuss their next movements, and what these policies would mean for their future.
