Mana pōti Māori i Ahitereiria

He rerekē te hītori o nga mana pōti a Māori i Ahitereiria. He tokomaha ngā Pākehā-kore i kore e pōti i taua wā. Kāore anō kia hoatu ngā mana pōti ki ngā Iwi Moemoeā i taua wā. I hoatu ki a Māori te motika kia pōti i a rātau i Aotearoa i raro i te Tiriti o Waitangi Heoi anō, kāore i taea e ētahi atu o te Moana Nui ā Kiwa te pōti. I aukatia hoki a Māori i te Kaupapahere Pākehā Ahitereiria. I tautokona e te mema ārahi o te Rōpū Mahi Ahitereiria, King O'Malley, te whakauru Māori, me te whakapaetanga o nga Ahiteriria o te Iwi Taketake. I whakapuaki a ia "an Aboriginal is not as smart as a Māori" (Karekau te Iwi Moemoeā i te mohio penei i te Māori).
