The blonde’s tattooed chin scribble seems rather $2 Shop compared with the old photo to her left.

  Inandout: That silly blonde “Maori” is telling Stuff today that “My mother’s generation was strapped for speaking our language”…
  
  Taking those nonsense claims in order, the generation “beaten” – that’s much more emotive than “strapped” – for speaking Maori was her grandmother’s or even her great grandmother’s generation…when was the silly Dr Elder born? The late 70’s perhaps? Early 80’s??
  
  Secondly, and much importantly, the “beaten for speaking Maori” policy was the brainchild of one of the others in today’s…line up, Sir Apirana Ngata, who was firmly of the view that for Maori to succeed in the modern world they had to speak good english…therefore it was English only at school – and back then you got “beaten” for most transgressions, so it was no surprise that “beating” was the punishment for speaking Maori, as for everything else.
  
  The theory of course was that the kids would continue to speak Maori at home…that didn’t happen..and of course that is all our fault.

    I got strapped at School for getting into a scuffle in the playground! I didn’t even start it…
    Can I go whining to Stuff?

    Quite so. C.1960, despite being ‘beaten’ for talking (English, in case you’re curious) in music lessons, I continued to talk, if a bit more discreetly.

    Incorrect David.
    Many traditional Maori women keep on…and on…and on…having children til very late in life.
    (Every child is a gift from God, y’know.)
    I met a Maori mum and daughter a while back who were both preggers.
    And a sweet young Maori relative of mine told me one of her aunties had a baby at….63! 🙂

    According to Michael King’s History of NZ Maori kids were punished at school well before Apirana Ngata was born.

  I think #9 might be Whetu TS’s father.
  
  Or, rather, the chap who was married to her mother.

  I wuz right about #4.
  That Te Rauparaha was a mean as dude who invented the haka.
  His intention was to harden up any wusses on his team who didn’t enjoy the mayhem and murder as much as he did.
