Excerpt: Last week, on November 14th, Māori Member of Parliament Hana-Rawhiti Maipi-Clarke rose in the Aotearoa (New Zealand) Parliament to vote on a proposed Treaty Principles Bill. Opposing the proposed law, she tore the bill in half and led a haka alongside members of her party, Te Pāti Māori. e haka, a traditional Māori expression of resilience and unity, disrupted proceedings and symbolized collective opposition to the proposed reinterpretation of the Treaty of Waitangi. Indigenous Peoples around the world have watched clips and celebrated the moment. Meanwhile, critics, including mainstream media outlets, described the event as a disruption, ignoring its deeper signicance as an assertion of Indigenous identity and rights.
