The government of NZ have not acknowledged either Waitaha or Moriori as being a seperate and distinct peoples from Maori. It has dealt with them under the Treaty of Waitangi between the Crown and Maori for the simple fact that they are Maori and claims and redress under the Treaty are not applicable to anyone who is not Maori. Because, you know, Crown and Maori. Not Crown, Maori, and other pre-Maori settlers of NZ because there is no such thing.

Nor do claims as separate tribes to Ngai Tahu under the same Treaty between the Crown and Maori prove what you think it does. The only thing it illustrates is your inability to understand iwi and hapu and your inability to read and understand or even comprehend what you yourself are cut 'n pasting.

No amount of unmarked scout cars can intercept and change facts, ENT. You are a nutter that sees conspiracy theories in everything and resorts to ridiculous logic gymnastics and fallacies.
