Page 3. Tikanga, Karanga, Karakia, Whaikorero, Waia- These words describe Maori religion or are all aspects tataitoko, Pohiri, Te Kākano etc etc of Maori religion. Learning the Maori language and Maori religion are closely interrelated. That is to say, they are one and the same. Why are real estate agents being forced to learn Maori religion? Being forced to enter into the Maori religion? Historically, religion and state have been be kept separate. Page 3. The Treaty of Waitangi The British made 4 promises in the Treaty. 1.

Page 3. The Principles of the Treaty.
There are no “principles” in the Treaty only articles. The so called principles of the Treaty are a modern invention, concocted by activists MPs in the 1970s and 80s to make the treaty in 2024 say what it did not say in 1840. They are therefore irrelevant to any discussion of the Treaty. To read how this is so, click here. Also read here
page 7: Sometimes the karakia is a standalone component in the pōhiri process or it may be embedded in part of the whaikōrero. Te Rangi Hīroa, Peter Buck (1977) suggested a karakia was a form of words which were chanted to obtain a benefit or avert trouble. “Karakia (noun) incantation, ritual chant, chant, intoned incantation, charm, spell – a set form of words to state or make effective a ritual activity. There are karakia for all aspects of life. These enable people to carry out their daily activities in union with the ancestors and the spiritual powers” (Moorfield, 2003). page 9: Give it a go and practice reciting these karakia.
Chants, spells, incantations, union with the ancestors (speaking to the dead) and spiritual powers. This is the language of Maori religion and superstition. What does this have to do with real estate sales in 2024? The Education Act 1877 states clearly that Education in New Zealand is to was free, secular, and compulsory. This course is a Trojan horse. Under the cloak of ‘Maori culture’ is full blown ‘Maori religion’. Casting spells to ‘obtain benefit or avert trouble’ is clearly the language of religion and superstition, up there with African witch doctors and voodoo. Real Estate agents are being drawn into Maori religion and superstition.
