TE PATI MAORI IS NZ'S HOME-GROWN HAMAS

This is the age of the cry-bully, a hideous hybrid of victim and victor, weeper and walloper

 


The barbarism, the hate and the treachery on display in New Zealand's House of Representatives yesterday must have inspired many decent Kiwis to wonder where the good Maori have gone. Te Pati Maori represents only a tiny 3.8% of the electorate, so why is the rest of Maoridom not howling in protest against Ngarewa-Packer, Waititi and Hana-Raiti Maipi-Clark (how they love those colonialist hyphens) and their frantic antics?


It's encouraging for Pakeha tangata whenua - who have every reason to fear Marxist rule by default in their country - to hear a Maori voice speak clearly now against the sinister cabal of Toitū te Tiriti, a creature of the Mad Hatters' Tea Party. Tommy Lee Oscar (no hyphens or Te Reo there) argues that Toitū te Tiriti is "the Kiwi version of Hamas", the militant wing of Te Pati Maori.'

 

Hamas' M O, says Oscar, includes violent armed resistance, terrorism, genocide, kidnapping, rape, and torture, and points out that historically Maori have been guilty of  the same crimes against Moriori and their own people. 


Meanwhile Don Brash of Hobson's Choice is spitting tacks on the side of right and closet Commie Chloe Swarbrick is showing her demonic side on that of the left (read on).



Toitu Te Tiriti on its way to Wellington 



Toitū te Tiriti is a 'Māori Resistance' Militant Group taking over New Zealand and currently causing widespread public disruptions as they march towards the nation's Parliament.

The movement publicly proclaims to uphold, promote and defend Te Tiriti o Waitangi (The Treaty of Waitangi).

I am Māori, and I would argue "Toitū te Tiriti" is the Kiwi version of Hamas, the militant wing of a New Zealand political party, 'Te Pati Maori'.

The only difference is that their resistance operates in New Zealand, a peaceful and democratic civilized country where we enjoy the freedoms and luxury of not only 'Peace' but 'Law and Order'. 

The Toitū te Tiriti movement and Hamas in Palestine share several thematic similarities.

 

Both movements are rooted in RESISTANCE against what they perceive as oppressive governance or policies. For Toitū te Tiriti the resistance is against New Zealand Government legislative actions and policies perceived to undermine the Treaty of Waitangi.

 

Te Pāti Māori's natural response to the government's legislative action was to PROTEST. They decided to create a movement of Māori people to push back on the government's reforms in the real world all across the motu, from the top of the North Island to the bottom of the country - and voila! the Māori-led Militant Group 'Toitū te Tiriti' was born.

The Māori militant group came to fruition intending to uphold Māori rights and sovereignty by creating widespread disruptions, spreading misinformation and through intimidation to gain sympathy and support.

 

Similarly, Hamas' resistance is directed at Israeli occupation and policies seen as infringing on Palestinian people's rights and their right to self-determination. Both Resistance movements use their children to advance their cause.

 



 

Toitū te Tiriti and Hamas utilize grassroots activism, with Toitū te Tiriti organizing hīkoi (marches) and non-violent protests (can't exactly say peaceful when they're loud and noisy), whereas Hamas will use political and militant means to assert their cause.

 

Yesterday Labour's Māori Caucus leader and MP Willie Jackson joined the militant group's march across the Auckland Harbour bridge on its way to Parliament, saying "we're coming after this Government".

 

This type of statement by elected members of Parliament incite, threaten and INTIMIDATE, with potential to lead to political violence. That is their point and the movement's intention.

 

The two militant groups (both resistance movements) seek to solicit and engage international attention, support and sympathy. They both highlight the same issues of indigenous rights, sovereignty, and the fight against cultural and political subjugation.

 

While Toitū te Tiriti focuses on non-violent peaceful protest and advocacy, Hamas's methods include violent armed resistance, acts of terrorism, genocide, kidnapping, rape, torture, and many other barbaric atrocities marking a significant difference between the two movements, today.

 

But it should be noted once upon a time Māori indeed did do all of those things to the Moriori and their own people as is well documented in history books.

 

Another major noteworthy difference between the two movements is the entirety of the Hamas Political Party and NOT just the military wing have all been officially designated a 'terrorist entity' by the New Zealand Government on 29 February, following the Oct 7 attacks last year against innocent Israeli civilians.

 

Australia listed Hamas in its entirety in March 2022, the UK in November 2021. The United States has designated Hamas in its entirety since 1997, as has Canada since 2002, and the European Union since 2003.

 

Despite that official declaration and designation by the NZ Government, Te Pāti Māori, an elected political party in New Zealand and by affiliation the 'Toitū te Tiriti' militant group, have been staunch vocal supporters and loyal defenders of Palestine, including their elected lawless Hamas terrorist government and Hamas sympathizers.

 

As a Māori with my own independent thoughts and political views, I see Toitū te Tiriti for what it is, a threat to democracy and a political weapon, a Māori-led military wing full of Māori warriors and people using their culture and heritage to do the bid of Te Pāti Māori.

 

In my opinion it is also a platform for organisers to campaign on and build their image/brand and to get their names in the history books all at the cost of Te Ao Māori. Unfortunately, I can't just watch silently so this is my personal counter-protest against their protest where I highlight the special relationship between the organisers and members of Parliament.

 

Maori must know they're all pawns for Te Pāti Māori, Labour and the Greens, all three (3) political parties are in a coalition against the Government and sadly Māori my own people are the pawns in their political conspiracy to cause chaos for this government.

 

When did the movement start?

Toitū te Tiriti was established in December 2023. Little was known about the movement, and who was behind it. The faceless social media campaign at the time didn't reveal much about the person or people behind it, meaning the group was shrouded in complete mystery.

 

What are they protesting?

The Māori militant group is protesting the Coalition Governments legislative agenda, particularly the Act Party's "Treaty Principles Bill" brought by deputy Prime Minister in-waiting and Māori MP the Hon. David Seymour. 

 

Who is behind it?

Earlier this year, on February 6 at the Waitangi Day protest at Waitangi Eru Kapa-Kingi, alongside Kiri Tamihere-Waititi and Hohepa Thompson, revealed themselves as the founders and organizers of the 'Toitū te Tiriti' movement. So who are they?

Founders | Organisers

 

Kiri Tamihere-Waititi

 

Dr. Kiri Tamihere-Waititi A clinical psychologist with a background in kapa haka and Māori advocacy, she is a co-founder of the Toitū te Tiriti movement. Kiri is the daughter of John Tamihere, president of Te Pāti Māori and is married to Rawiri Waititi , the co-leader of Te Pāti Māori. Kiri brings a significant political and cultural influence to her activism.


 

Eru Kapa-Kingi

Eru Kapa-Kingi, 28 Is also a co-founder of the Toitū te Tiriti movement. He is deeply engaged in Māori rights advocacy, employing his legal background and position as a Professional Teaching Fellow at Auckland University to further the cause. (Not surprised he is an academic, most are usually activists brainwashing people with their bullshit narratives.) Eru's mother is Mariameno Kapa-Kingi, representative for Te Tai Tokerau, and a Te Pāti Māori MP.



Hohepa Thompson, aka 'Hori' 

 

Hohepa Thompson, 39 Also known as 'Hori', is an artist and activist who is also a founder of Toitū te Tiriti and designed the movement's symbol, an image reflecting both Māori and non-Māori elements. Although not directly affiliated with Te Pāti Māori in an official capacity, his work aligns with the party's goals of advocating for Māori rights, especially through his art which challenges both Māori and non-Māori communities. His involvement in Toitū te Tiriti underscores the group's cultural and political elements, emphasizing the importance of art in political activism.

Below is the link to the actual Treaty Principles Bill, officially the 'Principles of the Treaty of Waitangi Bill'.

This bill will NOT repeal, replace or do away with the Treaty of Waitangi. This bill does NOT erode the rights or freedoms of Māori.

to fully understand firsthand rather than from what scared people are telling you.



I understand that my article comparing Toitū te Tiriti to Hamas, a terrorist entity, will upset some audiences including from my own whanau, hapu and iwi. I do not apologise for having my own independent opinion and political views. With this article it is my hope to be informative and to put a mirror in front of protesters so they can see how divisive and misinformed they appear to others, including myself, a conservative right wing Māori.  Tommy Lee Oscar.

 And now, from a thoroughly disgruntled Don Brash of 'Hobson's Choice':

 

Hana-Raiti Maipi-Clark, NZ's youngest-ever MP and she acts it

 


A picture paints a thousand words and the photograph above is a snapshot of the most disgraceful reading of a Bill I can recall in New Zealand's history.


The Treaty Principles Bill is not the first controversial and polarising Bill to have been introduced to New Zealand's Parliament. We have debated abortion, same-sex marriage, and the foreshore and seabed. Inevitably emotions have run high and sharp words have been exchanged, but the behaviour displayed yesterday fell far below the standards we expect of elected officials.


Hana-Rawhiti Maipi-Clarke instigated a haka as the vote was being tallied at the end of the speeches. She tore the Bill in half and took to the floor along with her party colleagues. She and Te Pāti Māori co-leader Debbie Ngarewa-Packer performed the haka right up to where David Seymour and ACT sat. Their actions were intimidating and aggressive, and that was the intention.

 

Speaker of the House Gerry Brownlee was left with no option but to suspend the House and empty the gallery which was full of Te Pāti Māori supporters who were also taking part in the haka. It was complete disorder.


Once everyone returned to the House - except Willie Jackson because he had been kicked out earlier for calling David Seymour a liar - Parliament voted to suspend Hana-Rawhiti Maipi-Clarke for 24 hours. The Government majority outvoted the opposition parties who all voted against the punishment.



Now, a 24-hour suspension might seem like a pointless and meagre consequence, but the act of the Speaker 'naming' an MP as Speaker Brownlee did is very significant. Maipi-Clarke will have one day of pay docked also.



However, the young MP should not have been the only MP to face consequences. Te Pāti Māori co-leader Rawiri Waititi was disorderly in his own speech and concluded it by shouting the colloquialism "see you next Tuesday" at David Seymour. He will, of course, say that he was referring to the protest next Tuesday, but it is relatively well-known that it also refers to a certain four letter word.

 

Likewise, Debbie Ngarewa-Packer's intimidation of David Seymour was not unlike that of Julie Anne Genter toward Matt Doocey some months ago, and that resulted in a referral to the Privileges Committee. There is no excuse for aggression and intimidation in our House of Parliament no matter if it is cloaked in claims of cultural practice.


We can all stand around pointing and saying "how disgraceful," but there is action we must take on a few different matters.


1. I encourage you to send an email to the Speaker urging him to crack down on disorderly conduct and slipping standards. His email is: speakers.office@parliament.govt.nz



2. You might also like to send an email to the Government party leaders asking them to make an appeal to the Speaker for stricter policing of rules and standing orders. christopher.luxon@parliament.govt.nz david.seymour@parliament.govt.nz and winston.peters@parliament.govt.nz



3. Write to the media about the matter: a letter to the editor, or an email to decision makers about how they are reporting on the issue.



3. Get ready for the first phase of our response to the Treaty Principles Bill which will come next week. This phase is about putting pressure on the Prime Minister to respect New Zealanders and listen to our submissions.



4. Pop over to David Seymour's Facebook, Instagram, or X and give him a few words of encouragement. What he is doing takes a great deal of courage and we should make sure he knows he has the backing of many New Zealanders.



5. Chip in to our fund to make sure we keep the attention on support for the bill throughout the 6-month Treaty Principles Bill consultation period. Donate here. 



I am worried. We are at a crossroads and I fear it could go either way. Our leaders need us to strengthen their spines because they are vulnerable to the intimidation, manipulation, and coercion of the media and activists - some more vulnerable than others.


The media are firmly supportive of the activism of Te Pāti Māori and their hīkoi. In fact, one of TVNZ's most senior executives, Nevak Rogers, has taken annual leave this week to attend the hīkoi. Her social media posts and activism are directly oppositional to TVNZ's laughable claims of impartiality. How can we be expected to have faith in TVNZ's balance when their Chief Content Officer is behaving in such a partisan manner?

 

The time has come for New Zealanders to loudly express our honest opinions. This doesn't come naturally for many of us. We are generally a non-confrontational and laidback people, but too much is at stake. We need to openly state support for the Treaty Principles Bill and David Seymour's agenda for equality and clarity. Share your views with friends and family. Post on social media. Be bold.


If we do not emphatically stand up for democracy and what is right now, we will lose the ability to do so at all. New Zealand needs you.


Remember "the standard you walk past is the standard you accept."


 

Jenny Shipley: "the Treaty Principles Bill "is inciting civil war". No. TPM is inciting civil war


Here's Chloe Swarbrick, Greens' co-leader and MP for Auckland Central, who supports Gaza Gaza terrorism and Maoridom racism, speaking in Parliament and reported on X as "in full satanic mode":


Principles of the Treaty of Waitangi Bill — First Reading 

 

CHLÖE SWARBRICK (Co-Leader—Green):

 

When you're accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression. That is what is behind this bill. Its architect tells us that this is about equality, but we do not have equality in this country. Pick almost any statistic that you like—housing, incarceration, health, life expectancy—Māori get unfair and unequal outcomes because of unfair and unequal treatment which started with the Crown's intentional violent actions to dishonour Te Tiriti o Waitangi. 


Capitalism, an economic system with the key priority being to turn profit at almost any cost, needs colonisation. This insatiable, unsustainable economic system needs to assimilate and acquire new frontiers to exploit. It needs to turn every citizen into a consumer and to commodify our natural world. And right now, in this country, the biggest thing standing in its way is the resilience and the fire in the enduring movement from mana motuhake.

 

When Te Tiriti was signed, Māori outnumbered Pākehā by 40 to one. Can you imagine a small group of people coming to this country, signing an agreement to look after themselves in orderly cohabitation, then, instead, taking our land and our language? Well, that is the abridged history of Aotearoa New Zealand. That is what the British Crown did in establishing this Parliament and its institutions. The legacy of that violence, oppression, theft and colonisation and the breach of Te Tiriti o Waitangi is represented in today's deeply unequal and unfair statistics in people's lives.

 

Pākehā mā, tauiwi mā, we have been told for almost all of our lives that Māori sovereignty is something to be afraid of. Who has been telling you that? Who benefits and who pays the price?

 

The discomfort that you feel, that I once felt, is an invitation to listen, to learn, to understand, and to honour. Te Tiriti o Waitangi is gift. It is a blueprint of an Aotearoa that respects people and planets. It is the antidote to the exhaustion and the disenfranchisement that I know profoundly is felt in communities across this country right now.

Now, some politicians will tell you that we just need a clean slate for the past. They will tell you that people today should not be held responsible for the actions of our forebears. So let's be really, really clear here: you do not need to be personally responsible for the historical dishonouring of Te Tiriti o Waitangi to actively benefit from that horrific legacy today. That is the truth. But this Parliament does benefit. All 123 members of this Parliament do benefit. The power in this place, in this Parliament, was built on a legacy of deceit, dehumanisation, and domination, and today all 123 members of Parliament will vote to either further entrench that utterly shameful legacy or to be honest and to do something about it.

 

The Prime Minister has told us that there's nothing that he likes about this divisive bill. He's told us that the National Party don't support this bill. 

And we're not going to forget it. Or allow the PM to forget it either. We'll remind him next election day. 

Any member of Parliament in this Chamber right now can call for a personal vote on this bill to vote differently from their party, to put the country above partisan politics. A leader or a whip cannot stop MPs' constitutional right to vote how they know that they need to.

 

My question to MPs is: are you here to hold on to power at any cost or are you here to do the right thing? Are you here to listen to your conscience or are you here to give it all up on one of the most significant votes in this House in our lifetime? Because if you wear the mask for a little while, it becomes your face. We are what we do.


Swarbrick's own mask slipped badly some months ago in Parliament. In a photograph taken in profile her expression clearly indicated a malevolent spirit, inadvertently captured on camera.    


If you vote for this bill, that is who you are and this is how you will be remembered. Toitū Te Tiriti.

  1. Maori have for years had the option to improve their health and lifestyle in order to increase their life expectancy but still persist on blaming Colonization for all their issues if Colonization hadn't happened maori would not now exist as they were on track to destroy their race. Yes there has been some problems on both sides and these have been addressed with many large settlements to appease the maori tribes but as we know maori claim it will never be enough. It's time to move forward the money from most of the claims has gone to keep the leaders of each iwi in excellent health and condition but unfortunately the settlements have not filtered through to the rest of the iwi. It is time for us to live as one to stop all the claims and get on with making New Zealand the peaceful beautiful place it really is time to stop the racial hatred and for everyone to work together to improve our country.

  2. This display of a war dance, in our most democratic part of nz, where DEBATE, is supposed to be carried out.
    Is so disrespectful to the rest of new Zealanders.
    As a European kiwi, I can't even join te Pati maori, as I am not a maori..why do we tolerate such a racist party..?

    It is now time for this gutless government to stand up and grow some balls this has now become a war of the later years but it's more than just that how has new Zealand come to this. Look around you at what's been going on in the last government yes it's very plan that this has become nothing but greed and we know what happens there don't we. You can write words all you like but this has now become out of hand if it's not stopped now them God help new Zealand. Anyone that can deface a set of rules in a house of parliament should removed from the house. And what do you see absolute disgraceful and demonic behavior. It's now time for the military to step up and defuse this time bomb. Is this what you want? Tough if it's not you got a war now through absolute nutjobs the very dangerous kind.
    What amazes me there are no true blooded Maori they are mixed race so now what it's very much over looked don't you think.

  8. The good Maori have left New Zealand like the white people to escape the will of a tyrannical government
    I was heart warmed yesterday when I read a Maori chat in a group I am in
    They are good honest Maori who are proud of their white heritage
    They were ashamed of the act of Brian tamaki leading the treasonous traitorous act against white kiwis and closing off highways etc
    They do not like our country being labeled AOTEAROA either
    What we are actually seeing is a RENT A CROWD situation and the majority of those prostrstors were pacific islanders
    The police should have sorted them out and sent them back to stir up trouble in their own country but instead they will be offered a state house and a huge unemployment benefit for taking part in the treasonous coup
    This is not just Maori activists
    Pacific islanders are very much involved and we need to open our eyes to the truth

    1. Colleen Synott a very significant fact - truth - is that Brian Tamaki has consistently opposed the TPM/Toitu hikoi and yesterday led a convoy of 'Real Men' promoting "One People, One Law, One Vote, One Flag, under One God". You may have been misled by NZ Herald's report of police as being "furious" at Tamaki's convoy (while apparently approving TPM's hikoi). No surprise there. NZ has two-tier policing now. Tamaki's motto is
      #MakeNZGreatAgain and he deserves all decent Kiwis' support.

  14. David Seymour’s tenure as ACT Party leader has been marked by controversy rather than significant achievements. His proposed legislative efforts, such as the Treaty Principles Bill, have drawn widespread criticism for lacking engagement with Māori experts and communities, especially regarding Te Tiriti o Waitangi. Notably, Seymour admitted to not consulting Māori Treaty experts when drafting his bill, highlighting a lack of cultural and historical understanding.
    Seymour’s actions targets Māori rights in areas like co-governance, healthcare, and Treaty principles, leading to accusations of promoting a divisive and racially charged agenda. His policies aim to centralize governance under a “universal” framework, disregarding the unique partnership established by Te Tiriti. This approach has alarmed Māori leaders, who view it as an attempt to erase foundational Māori rights and sovereignty.
    Moreover, his lack of direct engagement with Māori communities and failure to address the issues on marae have reinforced perceptions of a Eurocentric and exclusionary stance. Seymour’s efforts are detrimental to New Zealand’s social cohesion and undermine decades of progress in recognizing Māori rights

    1. I'm philosophically opposed to Seymour. He advocates for baby-killing and euthanasia. However on the Treaty Principles, without question he's on the right side of history.
      Consulting 'Maori Treaty experts' would have been a waste of time which Seymour who - unlike TPM show-offs - regards as precious.
      Maori rights" are absolutely no different from Pakeha rights. Maori and Pakeha alike are children of God with the same value in His eyes.
      The Treaty did not enshrine 'partnership' of any kind, or 'co-governance'. In the Treaty Maori ceded sovereignty to the British crown.
      Your 'decades of progress in recognising Maori rights' are in fact years of regression and reversion towards tribalism.

      Delete
    2. Julia du Fresne Māori rights, as outlined in Te Tiriti o Waitangi (the Treaty of Waitangi), are distinct because they are based on the Crown’s partnership with Māori as the Indigenous people of Aotearoa. These rights recognize tino rangatiratanga (absolute sovereignty) over their lands, resources, and taonga (treasures), as well as the Crown’s obligation to protect Māori interests. Unlike general rights afforded to all citizens, Māori rights are grounded in their unique status as tangata whenua and the guarantees provided by the Treaty.
      These rights differ from others because they are not privileges but legal and moral obligations stemming from a binding agreement. They are designed to preserve Māori culture, language, and identity, and to address historical injustices, ensuring equitable outcomes rather than equal treatment. Respecting Māori rights means upholding this partnership and recognizing their autonomy while ensuring that Māori voices are central to decisions affecting them.

  20. NZ Law Society: Crown to govern.
    The treaty acknowledged that the Crown was to govern New Zealand. There is no doubt about that. In the lands case – New Zealand Maori Council v Attorney-General [1987] 1 NZLR 641 – the Court of Appeal did not hold that the treaty created a partnership between Māori and the Crown to give Māori a right to participate in governing New Zealand.
    Parliamentarians having abdicated their responsibility to define the principles of the treaty, it was left to the Court of Appeal to do it. The court drew on partnership principles when holding that “the treaty created an enduring relationship of a fiduciary nature akin to a partnership, each party accepting a positive duty to act in good faith, fairly, reasonably and honourably towards the other” (Te Runanga o Wharekauri Rekohu Inc v Attorney[1]General [1993] 2 NZLR 301, 304-305, per Cooke P for the Court of Appeal).

    ReplyDelete
  21. The Court of Appeal did not suggest an actual partnership which is an absurd departure from the words of the treaty. It is also ridiculous to suggest there could be actual partnership between the Crown, which is a legal entity, and a race, which is not.
    The Court of Appeal did not endorse such preposterous ideas, as was shown in its decision just two years later in Tainui Maori Trust Board v Attorney-General [1989] 2 NZLR 513. The court’s decision was delivered by the President, Sir Robin Cooke. His words at 530 decisively demonstrate that government was yielded to the Crown, by stating emphatically:
    The [Tainui] case shows that the principles of the Treaty of Waitangi, outlined in [the “lands” case], are taking effect only slowly but nevertheless surely. It is as well to stress also that they are of limited scope and do not require a social revolution…. It is obvious that, from the point of view of the future of our country, non-Maori have to adjust to an understanding that does not come easily to all: reparation has to be made to the Maori people for past and continuing breaches of the Treaty by which they agreed to yield government. Lip service disclaimers of racial prejudice and token acknowledgments that the Treaty has not been honoured cannot be enough.

    ReplyDelete
  22. An obligation has to be seen to be honoured. On the Maori side it has to be understood that the Treaty gave the Queen government, Kawanatanga, and foresaw continuing immigration. The development of New Zealand as a nation has been largely due to that immigration. Maori must recognise that it flowed from the Treaty and that both the history and the economy of the nation rule out extravagant claims in the democracy now shared. Both partners should know that a narrow focus on the past is useless. The principles of the Treaty have to be applied to give fair results in today’s world.
    It can’t be much plainer. The principles are of limited scope. They do not require a social revolution. By the treaty, the tribal leaders yielded government. The treaty gave government, Kawanatanga, to the Queen. Extravagant claims are ruled out.
    New Zealand is a democracy in which we all share. Based on what Cooke P said, NZLS could responsibly take a stand and confront the extravagant claims in the democracy now shared, disingenuously based on the treaty. We do not want a revolution, even a social revolution, with a radical departure from the democratic principles which Western civilisation has so painfully come to adopt as infinitely preferable to the wielding of power by people who cannot be removed except by force. Giving credence to extravagant claims is leading in that direction.

  23. It's quite simple. It is a case of Maori activists using this to drive their case for Maori sovereignty and a separate Maori State, who have not read the Bill, have not engaged in any rational conversation and are not interested in doing so. The type of discussion we need is like this conversation with Helmut Modlik, a respected lwi leader.
    As for ACTs and NZ First's positions, they are pretty well laid out in various interviews with Shane Jones, Winston Peters and David Seymour on The Platform and RCR. They have not been at all silent and some of it has even been common sense. It's just that what they have to say is not covered on MSM, so the debate gets increasing antagonistic and skewed which serves the activists position. National, as usual, is behaving like a woke wet lettuce and is not coming out with anything useful on the subject.

  25. The Maori’s openly confirm they came here on Canoe’s, so they came here by the sea. Like every other person around that time. And non of the others are saying they are indigenous to NZ.
    This has to stop…..
    Non of them are full blooded Māori’s now. Most have more European blood in them.
