Now, my great-great-great-great-grandfather was a signatory to Te Tiriti o Waitangi and he was a real rangatira in that he actually had a hapū behind him. But what were his responsibilities as a signatory to Te Tiriti o Waitangi? Well, first of all, the responsibility of a rangatira is to protect your hapū, protect your kāinga, protect wairua, protect the lives. So those people who hide behind rangatiratanga or mana motuhake to justify the reckless endangerment of whānau demean the very tikanga of tino rangatiratanga and mana motuhake. They wave the Māori flag and the flag of He Whakaputanga in the vain hope it lends a veneer of credibility to the stupidity.
