[PG] In episode two, we learn about Carl Völkner, the German-born missionary Mokomoko was wrongfully accused of murdering.
In 1861, Carl Völkner was sent to New Zealand by the North German Missionary Society and took charge of the church mission station in the Bay of Plenty town of Ōpōtiki.
Initially welcomed by the local Te Whakatōhea tribe, Volkner built a church and a school for the mission station with the support of Governor George Grey, who at that time was attempting to defeat Māori fighters in the Land Wars.
Völkner was a political as well as a religious figure and instead of building his relationship with the tribe, wrote to Governor Grey informing him of an alliance between local Māori and a Catholic priest.
Völkner's actions caused people in Ōpōtiki to question his motives and they started to wonder if he was a spy for the British government.
Once, when Völkner travelled to Auckland, he was warned by members of Te Whakatōhea not to return to Ōpōtiki because of the rumours.
Ignoring the warning, Völkner returned to the Bay of Plenty and was apprehended by the Māori Christian group Pai Mārire.
Taken prisoner and held in a house, Völkner was hanged from a willow tree near the church the following day.
Afterwards, he was taken down and decapitated before his eyes were gouged out and swallowed by Pai Mārire leader Kereopa Te Rau.
Made with the support of Te Māngai Pāho.
Need to put these in a playlist. Hard to find them all
7:16 says it all…
Is there anything in our countries past as insidious as the pretense of "godliness" and the false pedestal of religion? On top of the conscious and calculated theft of land, these "religious envoys" were pure and utter evil personified.
Amene
the 3 G’s, they gave us germs that killed our old people. Guns that killed our fathers, and god to kill our culture. Also using that faith to undermine us and take advantage of our good will.
your land is when you live on the land and use the land to provide sustenance.
Exactly what Maori were doing
2:16 The British Historian Peter Lineham, neglected to mention that Victoria, the Queen of England. After her husband Prince Albert had died. She hooked up with this Scottish grub, John Brown, and probably had more children. So yeah, if you call that overwhelmed with grief. Mate! Looks to me, that Queen Victoria, was living it up in Castle's in the expense of others with all that loot from Greece, India, Australia, Africa and NZ, China, [ etc ]. You would think with all the trillions of dollars the British stole, they would at least have a decent country with decent people, indeed.
Manny and Thurman was my favourite it's how he rolls
All Maori need to come together as one for our younger genration
Not just Maori are peeved about what happened. Today the landgrab continues by man made inflation until we cannot breathe any longer. Worked all our lives for those leeches, got finally free of mortgages and bang.... inflation puts all back into financial dependence. 😢 they're laughing all the way and we sweat yet again. It's their game. 😮
@@ritakonig1891 and the land hasn't been returned to maori thru te tiriti 1840
@@johntehiwi114 I know. However, I think this is by design to pitch the white against the Black people. When in fact they screwed us all over. Not just with Land, but everything they could drag money from. And today we all have the same fate, no matter what color skin.
Te Whakaputanga / Te Tiriti / Te Paipera Tapu KOTAHITANGA
I worry about number one first whanau hapu
This is why pakeha need to understand their view of why they make legislation. It still is not honourable definition to co exist with te tiriti o Waitangi. Change your system now, pakeha we been housing your livelihood to provide you safety of the disrespect that keeps you guys contradictory mindset. We are whole beings Māori who have rebirthed our historical claim from instinct and the remaining knowledge of who we are. You buried your people in Māori soil, pay your dues.
skeletons in the closet(KZhead) history of New Zealand
Says he who writes in the white mans alphabet. Enough of this racist nonsense and get on with your lives and stop the perpetual victimhood. It's ugly.
It was genocide
Well, maybe the word Maori means land owner given by the pakeha. What does Maori mean normal
we always had title
And in 1863 they are going to struggle getting military men from Australia....they are having their own problems with the Chinese on the gold fields
My tribe was almost extinct after grey bomb the women and kids while the men were at war😢. And then the government just sweeps it under the carpet like nothing happened😡🔥🔥.. Im fuming and its not just from me aye but its also in my genes!! I try not too treat pakeha people and give old people the eye contest and baring down on them to make them feel uncomfortable everytime they lock eyes with me but im also sorry its also in our genes...
Stick to te reo maori.
WHAT PEOPLE'S DO NOT KNOW THAT GOD IS TO RETURN TO TE IKA O MAURI,, THE FISH OF THE NORTH ISLAND,, HENCE WHY FREE MASONS WERE SEARCHING FOR THIS LAND , WHY , IT IS MENTIONED IN THE BIBLE, WHERE IS NAOH ARK , TE WAKA O MAURI WHERE THE ARK CAME FROM EGYPT ,. EGYPT AND MAORI HAVE SAME HISTORY .IT WRITTEN IN THE BIBLE , AMD MAORI MYTHS AND LEGENDS. GUESS WHAT HE HERE
Elaborate more please , Bible Scriptures & other relevant resources 🙏 Thank you 📖
The Australian Aboriginals have it right ( in the end the land claims us all) one cannot claim the unclaimable. World history has shown us nothing remains static, movement is essential albeit uncomfortable for the so called losers in the power game. So be it.
we know the history you cant change that, its sad really on how it was done, colonization is always about land, resources and the growth of the commonwealth, regardless of who is in the way, demoralize people of its culture, home, away of life you will achieve that, people say Maori and Pakeha should live together, and we should, in my opinion the issue today is not only about the loss of land, its about understanding the value for what it is, if you have a connection to the land water air and its wildlife you'll understand, im sure most do, some only see value when you put a $ sign in front of it, land is worth more in its natural state instead of concrete, but its happened, how do we exist as one, we accept the past we preserve our cultures, we acknowledge the mistakes we acknowledge the land wars and the people who fought and died, we accept our history and celebrate it, Waitangi doesn't really do that, well, doesn't really move forward its stagnant so to speak, most Maori and Pakeha New Zealanders do try, a lot dont, the growth of the economy and the well-being of its people is what we should achieve in this day and age, population growth is much different now than it was then.
1840 treaty is fake , 1835 he whakapuntanga , search it
Treaty sounds like peace. waitangi sounds like trade agreement's contract .idk elaborate please 👍
The first people here in New Zealand had celtic origin .Then moriori came from aborigine, them moari, then mixture of European European 🏰.

@@Julia20508 lol
Land is owned when purchased. Not by freedom camping on it.
But how can you purchase land when there is no such thing as money? Dirty blankets and a bottle of rum sufficient. Then I’ll be happy to purchase your land tomorrow.
Fake off we were the ocupiers since day one u karnts come along and thought you'd do the stand over tactics haha uz had another thing coming
Sounds like a very European point of view.
Stolen land Stolen from the moriori.
Only the Chathams
@@raewynurwin4256 no ,all of new Zealands inhabitants were erased by maori.
@Robin Tamihere keep dreaming. Maori were savages. Stone age canabals .our people have been saved by the Europeans and the Chinese that made new Zealand what it is today.
Can you tell me how the europeans chinese saved our people and this country. When they are the ones who bought ruins to this country.
