Exploring the Waitangi Treaty & the threat to Barrambin/Victoria Park
Attacks on the Treaty of Waitangi in Aotearoa/NZ
Interview with Rhee Duthie, a Maori woman from the Tainui tribe, exploring the Treaty of Waitangi and what it means to Maori people.
As referenced during the interview, this is video of the haka protest on the floor of the NZ Parliament by Te Parti Maori MP Hana-Rawhiti Kareariki Maipi-Clarke.
This is a YouTube video of the song mentioned at the end of the interview, created for Te Matantini o Te Kahui Maunga 2025.
The threat to Barrambin/Victoria Park
The Top End of Town is threatening the future of the major inner-city parkland of Barrambin/Victoria Park, which is also a highly significant site for the Tuurbul people. Talking Zeds talks with Campbell Newman, someone who is part of the Top End of Town, knows how it operates, and why it is such a terrible idea to destroy Barrambin for some sports stadiums.
