Many Governments of the past have flaunted themselves as a beacon for indigenous rights on an international stage while exploiting the generosity of tangata whenua at home. Crown negotiation policies such as large natural groupings and the fiscal envelope have determined this. Engineering further division, further harm, and further breaches of Te Tiriti o Waitangi itself. That is why Te Paati Māori does not accept that settlements are full and final—they never should be. You will only get 1 percent of your due, but we must always leave the door open to our mokopuna to fight for the other 99 percent. Our trauma does not lie in the past—inequality, poverty, and the desecration of Papatūānuku is happening in the present, and will continue to be our future if we continue down this track. I would like to remind the Crown—Willie Jackson—that the Treaty was never about tangata whenua. We had mana motuhake long before we had the flu. The Treaty is what gives the Crown the right to be here, so I'm not sure why we're in such a rush to settle. Article 1 consented to kāwanatanga, article 2 secured the pre-existing rights of Māori before 1840, and article 3 was about working together to create a better future as a nation. Te Tiriti is not for settling; it is for honouring. I honour you today, Ngāti Kahungunu ki Wairarapa Tāmaki nui-ā-Rua. Tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou, kia ora tātou katoa.
