His people believe him
Well of course they do.
via Maori have always owned water – 3 News.
Earlier today King Tuheitia told the national hui on the issue that Maori have always owned water.
The big chiefs and the long-time activists were at Turangawaewae to discuss one issue – water – and looking for one thing – unity.
So, King Tuheitia told the hui “we’ve always owned the water”; you’re quite sure that the hui didn’t tell him? Because I was under the firm impression that the purpose of a hui was to find the will of the people, not to announce it to them.
Just one question: why do Maoris say they own the water, when no other race on Earth believes that they do?
Do they know what water is?
Water is very large. There is so much of it that you cannot even hold it all in your possession, so you cannot defend it. We all know you did not create it, because all of it was here before you were born. Every atom of it will be here after you die, so we’ll get it all back then anyway, however you manage to bully us over it while you’re here. We’d prefer you went home and stopped making a noise about it. Earn your money as we all do – by hard work, intelligence and perseverance. That will make you happy. But keep your hands off our water.
