1
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:03,800
Speaker 1: Now the nine day National Hikoi opposing David Siema's Treaty

2
00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:06,800
Speaker 1: Principal's Bill has started its journey to Parliament's grounds. Police

3
00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:10,000
Speaker 1: preparing for twenty five thousand people. Protest organizers are hoping

4
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:13,560
Speaker 1: for forty thousand. HIKOI leader Eru Kapakini is with me now,

5
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:17,079
Speaker 1: he Eru, Yeah, Connor, where are you guys at in

6
00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:17,599
Speaker 1: the country.

7
00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:21,479
Speaker 2: We're just north of Falgon at the moment. But I

8
00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:23,439
Speaker 2: just want to make a few corrections of sequis and

9
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:26,040
Speaker 2: about the treaty principles. Though it's about tvty or White

10
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:28,800
Speaker 2: Tonguey and that's not a protest, it's an activation of

11
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:29,480
Speaker 2: TV marty.

12
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:32,720
Speaker 1: Oh, so what are you talking about the treaty for?

13
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:39,240
Speaker 2: Because it's a constitutional document that protects the Mona but

14
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:42,440
Speaker 2: also as well allowed non Mary to make a home here.

15
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:45,199
Speaker 2: And we're reminding everyone that lives on these lands of

16
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:48,240
Speaker 2: that truth and standing in that power and that manna

17
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:49,839
Speaker 2: through every step of the sequoy.

18
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 1: It's got nothing at all to do with the Treaty

19
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:52,199
Speaker 1: Principal's Bill.

20
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:55,760
Speaker 2: Not nothing but a very minor part. Because the Treaty

21
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 2: Principal's Bill is but a blink of an eye in

22
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 2: the pursuit of and it's really just a symptom of

23
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:06,760
Speaker 2: a long how ignorance around the truth OFTTI to your

24
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:11,560
Speaker 2: white thinging. And so that's all we're reclaiming. We're not reacting,

25
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 2: but we are responding. But that plays a very little part,

26
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 2: and the sequey and the sequels as a platform for deeper,

27
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:25,240
Speaker 2: meaningful change in for but also all people's to be

28
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 2: able to live on the land and truly thrive in

29
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 2: the land where no one has left behind.

30
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 1: Cool. Okay, So is that why you're not meeting with

31
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 1: David Seamore because it's actually not about his bill, This

32
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:36,319
Speaker 1: is just about general good vibes around the treaty.

33
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 2: Well, I think that's oversimplifying at talking about general good vibes.

34
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 2: This is the mamma of my ancestors. I mean, this

35
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:45,120
Speaker 2: is a mama there.

36
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:47,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, But is that why you're not meeting with David Seeman.

37
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 2: I haven't been asked to meet with David seymore So,

38
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 2: I don't know why there would be an insinuation that

39
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 2: I've refused any invite.

40
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 1: I didn't I hear you this morning on the radio

41
00:01:57,360 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 1: saying you don't want to be at as Beacon cool.

42
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 2: No. The question was whether I would consider an invitation

43
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 2: to meet with him, and I said no, Well I

44
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 2: haven't actually invited to speak with them.

45
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:10,359
