| Tino rangatiratanga is about empowerment, not walking around with a big chip on your shoulder. |
|
| More than 500 signed the Maori version, which gives kawanatanga to the Queen, but tino rangatiratanga remains with Maori. |
|
| They have shown, in essence, that they do not understand what Maori tino rangatiratanga is. |
|
| I do want a visible sign of my commitment to learning Te Reo and supporting tino rangatiratanga. |
|
| Sovereignty was understood as 'more control over resources', or 'sovereignty as Maori government', or sovereignty as tino rangatiratanga. |
|
| A number of the Maori members have talked about the importance of tino rangatiratanga. |
|
| Arguments for tino rangatiratanga are addressed through an appeal to the notion of local sovereignty. |
|
| The implication is that the reason tino rangatiratanga remains unresolved is that the Crown has not fulfilled its obligations under the treaty. |
|
| He argues that the Crown has no jurisdiction to bring the charges against him on the basis of tino rangatiratanga. |
|
| In turn, the Government acknowledged our rights of rangatiratanga over matters Maori. |
|
| This means concessions to rangatiratanga that look like racial preference to some. |
|
| There is nothing whatsoever in the treaty that says that social structures, mana, and rangatiratanga will not be eroded. |
|
| Absolute legal equality cannot co-exist with rangatiratanga or self-government. |
|
| This is an absolute abrogation of the principle of rangatiratanga inherent in the deed of settlement. |
|
| Because of this, Maori have to somehow exercise rangatiratanga within the mainstream legal system. |
|
| It is the Government and the State that now have to move forward and leave these people alone to exercise their own rangatiratanga. |
|
| Through eliciting a secure foundation to support the argument about sovereignty as tino rangatiratanga, he is positioned as cautious and reasonable. |
|
| She promised that we would have rangatiratanga over that but that is not true. |
|
| I saw a photo of her with a rainbow flag on one shoulder and a tino rangatiratanga flag on the other. |
|
| Whether that materialises as a new, inclusive system of government committed to tino rangatiratanga and mana motuhake is for Māori to decide. |
|
|
|
| The idea of rangatiratanga and encouraging other people to be chiefs of their own environments and take control of their own futures... It's more about leading yourself. |
|
| What Titiriti or Waitangi means to me is that the Queen signed up to a contract with Māori, promising that Māori would have rangatiratanga over their taonga. |
|
| Rangatiratanga is not about going one way down a blind alley to a hollow end. |
|
| The name of the Labour Party leader's dog, Tino Rangatiratanga, might seem to better befit the family pet of a Maori Party politician. |
