This video shares with the viewer why the Labour Party Government in 2007 described the UN Declaration much too hard to implement. However under a veil of secrecy in 2010 John Key and Pita Sharples Maori Party arranged for Sharples to attend the UN to agree, sign the UNDRIP. This has caused much racial divide since this time.

Since 2007 the four countries that did not agree with the UNDRIP have since all agreed, and have adopted it. From this there has grown a tyranny of human rights, where a number of minority groups have 'self determined' they have more rights than that of the majority of citizens.

The coined term ‘Indigenous People’ first entered New Zealand in 1971, when Pierre Trudeau (Justin Trudeau’s father) arranged with radical activist George Manuel the President of the Indian Canadian Brotherhood to visit NZ. It was then that Manuel met with Maori politicians and the phrase was taken on in NZ. Manuel then travelled to the Northern Territories of Australia where he spoke to a group of Aboriginal Students about the coined terminology by ’Indigenous People’. Manuel cottoned on to the phrase ‘Indigenous People’ from Moringe Ole Parkipuny a Tanzanian Parliamentarian and radical activist, he was the first to originally coin the phrase ‘Indigenous People prior to the 1970’s
