Our country will always be divided as long as the wrong treaty is in place, and the truth bought out that Maori are not the indigenous people of New Zealand [first to arrive here].

It is well known that the final English draft that William Hobson authorized to be translated into the Maori Language has not been used because Prime Minister Geoffrey Palmer put in place a rejected false draft and had written the majority of New Zealanders out of the Treaty, and also that when Maori arrived in New Zealand it was already inhabited by a fair skinned race of people called the Celts who were our ancestors, and 4 other races were also here before Maori. This information has been sent to all our MPs in parliament, but not one has been interested in the truth.

Our Governments have refused to allow this to be officially investigated, as any remains or artefacts believed to be pre Maori are by default given to Maori to dispose of.
