The Declaration of Independence Flag 1835
of the Confederated Hapu(s) of New Zealand
THE MAORI PEOPLES GUARANTEE OF PROTECTION, IN PERPETUITY, OF ANY AND ALL ATTEMPTS TO
ASCEND THEIR SOVEREIGNTY
(gifted by King William IV following personal confrontation by Maori over violation and non-recognition of a Maori
trading vessel and it's flag of flax. The Declaration of Independence 1835 with the English flag as background to the
Maori design is the fulfilment of King Williams promise to send His flag "which would be recognised throughout the
world and open up more than 60 trading ports to the Maori nation" hence the Maori peoples words of endearment to
him in the Declaration.)
PRE-1830 Maori are already international traders at home and on the high seas. They already have their own bank,
the "Awaroa Native Reserve Bank" and their mail services, "Te Karere", Native Mail or Maori Messenger. They have
total guardianship of their 66 million acres, resources and assets. The country while needing "discovery" only by the
pakeha mentality was never 'lost' to the indigenous people, Te Iwi Oriori, or their mixed-blood descendants, MA-ORI.
1831 A Maori whanau hapu trading vessel is hijacked in the West Indies, the flag they carried is not recognised. The
vessel and all cargo is confiscated, it's crew dumped. The flag brandished in the hand by our tupuna, and not
recognised, was made from harakeke dyed in the underwing colours of the then extinct Hokioi, the giant eagle,
Maori's way of giving life to that manu/bird. The tupuna find their way home again, identify the flag that hijacked
them as English, red cross on white background, and determine to confront the offender.
1832 The tupuna gate-crash the garden-party at Buckingham Palace. King William IV is confronted and shamed. He
promises them he will send his personal trading flag which will be recognised in 60 ports and that they may enjoy all
the privileges and protections that go with that flag, and he would make arrangements for it to reach our shores This
is our first dealings sovereign to sovereign.
(P&O, once Union Steamship, as they circle the globe brandishing the hokioi colours and all privileges that go with it,
are present day testament to the agreement between the English Sovereign and Maori Sovereigns.)
1834 The King's promise is kept, the English flag is piped ashore from the H.M.S. Alligator to a 21 gun salute, normal
for the time recognising Sovereign to Sovereign, King William IV to the Maori people. Maori personalise the flag
adding the blue background to represent and include the sea mass in which the land sits. The repetitive star pattern, 4
in total, indicates Nga Hau E Wha, that all 4 corners of this country is accorded all protection and privileges. The red
cross represents every bloodline. The 8-points represent the 7 Waka, the 8th being the protection we accorded any
non-Maori, should they be in our territories as traders or settlers, or if war with another nation should broke out.
1835 Maori having had their meetings around the country, traditionally recorded for all time in waiata, draw up their
Declaration of Independence and proclaim it to the world, 28 October 1835. Access to the ports, the privileges and
protections promised by the English Monarch, King William IV is cemented in writing in perpetuity, dissolution possible
ONLY by ROYAL ASSENT.
Should Royal Assent be given or the Flag of the Confederated Hapu(s) of N.Z. be removed all rights and privileges of
ALL who have arrived in N.Z. by any means other than Maori whakapapa/geneaology i.e. through the unlawful
processes of the settlers legislative machinery will have to be likewise removed by the English Monarchy.
Maori sovereignty protected by the English Crown, cemented and visible for all to see in the Confederated Hapu(s)' of
Aotearoa, New Zealand flag and the Declaration of Independence, is guaranteed IN PERPETUITY.
1837 King William IV dies. Queen Victoria succeeds.
1839 July, the 52nd Chief signs Declaration of Independence
?????? 6 MONTHS LATER ???????
??????????1840 ????????????
1840 Feb 6th Treaty of Waitangi - THE SETTLERS AGENDA
Q. WHY 6 months after the last chief signs are we (300,000 Maori approx.) giving it all away to the 2000 pakeha in
the country, as we are led to believe?
A. We are taught by the pakeha educational establishment supported by their purported superior written word, 'for
protection because the French, Dutch and Americans were interested'. (Sounds like the propaganda machinery at
work.) We already had the 'protection' of the biggest military might of the day.
A. We are taught by the pakeha educational establishment supported by their purported superior written word,
'because there were no laws and we needed their laws'.
The 1835 Declaration of Independence is explicit in it's reference to laws... "... we shall NOT permit..."
The 1858 Letter addressed to the "Law Makers", and asking the question shows the awareness of the pakeha even at
their highest level, "governance" and Crown; of the status of their processes in our land.
1858 Queen Victoria Requests by personal letter to "the Chiefs, the Lawmakers and every person of Maori
descent " that Maori consider the adoption of the Laws of England".... which we "..are observing" being practiced by
pakeha. More sovereign to sovereign correspondence. Governor Colonel Thomas Gore Brown, Queen Victoria's
secretary of the day is commissioned to write the letter and presented it in the midst of a war.
The flag representing the Confederated Hapu(s) of Tiritiri-O-Te-Moana /Aotearoa, (New Zealand) holds
the English Crown accountable for all attempts on our sovereignty including that of it's own people, the settlers
who are bound to live with us under our laws, Tikanga/Immutable Divine Law.
The flag representing the Confederated Hapu(s) of Tiritiri-O-Te-Moana / Aotearoa, New Zealand is our continued
access to international support. Should the Queen deny that support we have by virtue of the same flag access to the
support of the more than 50 nations who recognise our flag.
The flag representing the Confederated Hapu(s) of Tiritiri -O-Te-Moana /Aotearoa,(New Zealand)
portrays for all time the sovereign status of Maori in their indigenous homelands. NO other flag before or
since eclipses it, or even remotely, commands protections and privileges equivalent.
The explanatory notes above are history as handed down by traditional Maori wananga and training. The myth that
Maori are a conquered people is quashed. (Why would the English conquer their own flag?)
The information here is an attempt by us to dispense to our own people and any honourable pakeha, the knowledge
as recorded by our own people, about themselves. Just as many Pakeha today choose not to, or simply cannot
understand our people, language or culture after living with us more than 160 years; it would be reasonable to
presume there was even less understanding of us after just 20 years.
(The same ignorance and arrogance that proclaimed the 'discovery' of N.Z. continues.)
We seek no-ones permission to BE. We will NOT be dismissed or legislated out of existence.
We must value our own korero and ancient oral archival processes.
The word that was in the beginning, SPOKEN WITH INTEGRITY, with mindful awareness of tone, vibration, body
language, physical presence etc., all revelations to the discerning mind and heart is still the ultimate demonstration
and communication means. Herein rests all that one is, whether individual or nation.
Truth is not seen with the eye or heard with the ear alone. Truth is discerned in the heart.
The difference between 'hear' and 'heart' only a 't'. The 't' representing Truth.
