Koianei ētahi whakaaro mō te whakaraora reo. Some thoughts this wiki o te reo...
“Te reo can’t be revitalised to its fullest extent without addressing some of the fundamental constraints under which its revitalisation is taking place.” — Awanui Te Huia @AwanuiTH

By now we know thru western media the name, age, photos, & story of each of the 4 Israelis who were retrieved from Gaza, but no one knows the name let alone the story of a single one of the 200+ Palestinians whom Israel massacred in the process.
Blatant dehumanisation.
A new bill that proposes that "Taumata Arowai must not have regard to the hierarchy of obligations contained in Te Mana o te Wai" effectively sidelining hapū/iwi voices in water related decisions, is open for submissions today closing next Thursday. At this point...
I'm not sure there are many who see a point in participating in the political systems of this govt. Heoi anō, if you have the time, energy etc to make a submission, you can do so here. parliament.nz/en/pb/sc/make-…

“I wrote the book in te reo Māori first. For me, that's a whakamana o te reo: an elevation and validation of our reo. The English version is the translation. Te reo Māori wasn’t the second thought here. It was the first.” — Qiane Matata-Sipu @qianephoto

There's something about liberal democracy, particularly in settler colonial states like NZ, that stigmatises and punishes any militant decolonial movement as inherently wrong, even though Indigenous peoples have the right to resist colonialism. This pacifist context does not help return stolen land.

I repeat, one of the greatest myths of Western modernity, capitalist development, and Eurocentrism is the belief that the colonial hell imposed on others is the road to civilization.

That 7-month old baby who has just died due to malnutrition in Gaza,,, 7 months!!! He is as old as the genocide is. He was born when the genocide started. The genocide was everything he had lived. Hunger & dehydration is everything he experienced in his entire existence. Imagine

Kanak youth being shot at from French military helicopters in Kanaky. French are not winding down the violence AT ALL. #FreeKanaky
Waimarie katoa māua i te manaakitanga nui mai ki tēnei whenua ki Colombia. We are incredibly grateful for the week that we've spent with various iwi from this beautiful whenua. We've made so many beautiful connections. Thank you to @NZinColombia for taking such great care of us.
Productivo encuentro con el Grupo de Justicia Étnico Racial de la @ViceColombia. Dos expertos maorí, en justicia restaurativa para pueblos indígenas y revitalización de las lenguas, tuvieron la oportunidad de compartir historias del camino de NZ🇳🇿 hacia la reconciliación (1/3)🧵
"We Kanaks who oppose participating in French elections are in the majority. We are 80 percent and we boycotted elections last year. Why should we vote when the people who they think will decide the future of Kanaky are those who have lived in New Caledonia for 3 years?" S Ounei
“We say Noumea is Kanak land. It does not belong to Paris.” — Kanak leader Susanna Ounei, who died in 2016.
