Palestine-Israel land- but what would it look like for Maori?
Everyone is familiar with the map of Israeli/Palestinian land and the way in which Israel’s continued aggression towards Palestine has led to the marginalisation and landlessness of its peoples. I’ve included the map here. It’s an appalling example of oppression.
But what would it look like if we did the same for Maori and the Crown, I wonder?
It would be an interesting exercise to map oppression and marginalisation in this way, and help us all see far more clearly the plight of Maori in these islands.
It looks like much of that work has been done – check out http://www.nzhistory.net.nz/media/interactive/maori-land-1860-2000 – but it makes for an even more appalling example in my opinion.
