The Crown's kawanatanga does not empower it to create property rights in any part of the universe. |
|
More than 500 signed the Maori version, which gives kawanatanga to the Queen, but tino rangatiratanga remains with Maori. |
|
You can quibble about the balance between kawanatanga and te tino rangitiratanga, but something was very definitely being given up. |
|
It's all the more extraordinary that kawanatanga was minted back in 1840 to explain a King of Judea who lived 2000 years ago. |
|
Explanations given to Maori at the time of signing emphasised the role of this kawanatanga in curbing the excesses of Pakeha settlers and protecting Maori. |
|
In these documents, the Crown gained kawanatanga, which meant taking responsibility for controlling the behaviour of its own citizens. |
|
It would seem unthinkable that the granting of kawanatanga was other than permanent if Maori were to be subject to it. |
