New Zealand provides a mountainous personality, recognizing Taranaci Maunga as the Holy Native Residents of Māori

Wellington, New Zealand – The mountain in New Zealand, which the natives were considering the ancestor was recognized as a legal person on Thursday after the new law approved of all the rights and responsibilities of the human being.

Mount Taranaki – today known as Taranaci Maunga, his name Māori – is the latest natural feature that will be given personality in New Zealand, which ruled that Rijeka and part of the Holy Land of People were before. The intact, snow dormant volcano is the second highest on the northern island of New Zealand on 8,261 feet and a popular place for tourism, hiking and snow sports.

Legal recognition recognizes the theft of Mounts from the Māori region of the Taranaki after New Zealand was colonized. It fulfills the Agreement on the Government of the Earth to indigenous people due to the damage committed from the country.

The law passed on Thursday gives the Taranac Maungi all rights, powers, duties, responsibility and obligations of a person. His legal personality has the name: and Kāhui Tupua, which the law considers “a living and an indivisible whole.” Includes the Taranac and the surrounding tips and the earth, “which include all their physical and metaphysical elements.”

The newly created entity will be the “face and voice” of the mountain, says the law, with four members from the local Māori Iwi, or tribes, and four members appointed by the Minister of Protection in the country.

“The mountain has long been honored the ancestor, the source of physical, cultural and spiritual maintenance and the last resting place,” said Paul Goldsmith, a representative responsible for the settlements between the Government and the Māori tribe, said Parliament on Thursday on Thursday.

But the colonizers of New Zealand in the 18th and 19th centuries first took the name Taranaki and then the mountain itself. In 1770, captain of British researcher James Cook noted the highlight from his ship and called him Mount Egmont.

In 1840, the tribes and representatives of the British Crown signed a Waitania Agreement – the founding document of New Zealand – in which the Crown promised that Māori would maintain rights to their country and resources. But the versions of Māori and the English language of the contract were different – and the violation of the crown both began immediately.

In 1865, there was a huge winding country of Taranaki, including a mountain, seized by the punishment of Māori for rebellion against the crown. During the next century, hunting and sports groups had a word in mountain management – but Māori did not.

“Traditional māori practices associated with the mountain were forbidden while tourism was promoted,” Goldsmith said. However, the Protest Movement of the Māori in the 1970s and 80s led to a rush of recognition of the language, culture and rights of Māori in Novi Zealand.

Overress included billions of dollars in the Waitanga settlement contract – such as an agreement with eight Taranaki tribes, signed in 2023.

“Today, Taranaki, our Maunga, our Maunga blunt, released from shackles, shackles of injustice, ignorance, hatred,” said Debbie Ngarewa-Packer, teammate of the political party, and Pāti Māori and descendants and descendants of Taranaki tribe, using a phrase that means mountain ancestors .

“We grew up knowing that no one can make us less connecting us,” she added.

The legal rights of the mountains are intended to support its health and well -being. They will be employed to stop the forced sale, renew their traditional use, and allow the preservation of work to protect domestic wild animals that bloom there. Public approach will remain.

New Zealand was the first country in the world to recognize natural traits as people when the law passed in 2014 awarded the personality of that urewer, a huge native forest on the northern island.

The government ownership of the forest ceased under the law, and the Tūhoe tribe became her guardian.

“These urewers are ancient and permanent, a fortress of nature, alive with history; his landscape abounds in mysteries, adventure and remote beauty,” the law begins before describing his spiritual significance for Māori. In 2017, New Zealand recognized the Whanganui River as a human, as part of a village with local Iwi.

The proposal of the law that recognized the person of the mountain was unanimously confirmed by 123 parliamentary deputies. The vote was welcomed by the ringing of Waiata – the song Māori – from the Public Gallery, full of dozens that traveled from Taranaki to the capital, Wellington.

Unity provided a brief respite UA Tense periods for racials relating to New Zealand. In November, tens of thousands of people marched to Parliament to protest against the law that would transform Waitanga contract by placing a rigid legal definition for each clause. They say that the law – which is not expected to be adopted – removed the Māori for legal rights and reversed the progress in the last five decades.
