New Zealand grants and mountain figures, with recognition of Mount Tranaki as a sacred to the indigenous people

Lamington, New Zealand A mountain in New Zealand was recognized by the original population as a legal person on Thursday after a new law granted him all human rights and responsibilities.

Mount Taranaki – now known as Tranaki Monga, the name of Maori – is the latest natural feature that is granted a character in New Zealand, which has ruled that the river and the extension of the Holy Land are people before. The virgin and snowy sleeper volcano is the second highest on the North Island in New Zealand at an altitude of 8261 feet, a popular place for tourism, walking long distances and snowy.

Legal recognition is recognized by the steel of the mountain from Maori in the Tranaki region after the colonization of New Zealand. It meets the approval of a victory from the country’s government to the indigenous people due to the damage it has committed on the ground since then.

The law approved on Thursday gives Tranaki Mondaga all the rights, authorities, duties, responsibilities and opponents of the person. Her legal personality has a name: Te Kāhui Tupua, which the law is seen as “full, alive and irreversible.” Tranaki, its peaks and surrounding lands include “combining all its material and metaphysical elements.”

The law says that a newly created entity will be the “face and sound of” the mountain, with four members of the local Maori, or the tribes, and four members appointed by the Minister of Conservation in the country.

“The mountain is repeatedly predetermined, a source of physical, cultural, spiritual living and the place of the final break,” Paul Goldsmith, a legislator responsible for the settlements between the government and the Maoris tribes said in a speech on Thursday.

But the colonists in New Zealand in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries took the first name of Tranaki and then the mountain itself. In 1770, British explorer, James Cook, discovered the peak of his ship and described it as a mountain of Ijont.

In 1840, the Maori tribes and representatives of the British Crown signed the Whitanji Treaty – the New Zealand foundation document – in which the Mawarians crown promised the rights of their lands and resources. But the Maurit and English versions of the treaty differ – and the crown from both began immediately.

In 1865, a wide range of Tranaki land, including the mountain, was confiscated to punish Maori on the rebellion on the crown. Over the next century, sports and sports groups had an opinion on mountain management – but Al Maori did not.

“The traditional Maori practices associated with the mountain were banned while promoting tourism,” said Goldsmith. However, the Maori protest movement in the 1970s and 1980s led to an increase in the Mauritage language, culture and rights in New Zealand law.

Repress included billions of dollars in the WAITANGI settlement treaty – such as the agreement with the eight TAranaki tribes, signed in 2023.

“Today, Tranaki, Tranaki, our mountain, our hatred, restrictions of restrictions, the political tribes party of Tanaki tribes, using the phrase Asianz Asianz Asianz.

“We grew up, knowing that there is nothing that anyone can do to make us less connected,” she added.

The legal rights of the mountains aim to support their health and well -being. They will be employed to stop forced sales, restore their traditional uses and allow conservation work to protect the original wildlife that flourishes there. The general arrival will remain.

New Zealand was the first country in the world to recognize natural features as people when a law was passed in 2014 to a character for TE Urewra, a vast original forest on the North Island.

Government ownership of the forest was stopped by law and the tribe became the tribe.

“TE urewera is old and permanent, a fortress of nature, alive with history; its scene is abundant with mystery, adventure and distant beauty”, the law begins, before describing its spiritual importance of Maori. In 2017, New Zealand realized the WHANGANUI River as a human being, as part of a settlement with the local IWI.

The draft law, which is unanimously aware of the mountain personality by 123 legislators in Parliament. The vote was received by the ringing ring – the song of Maori – from the general exhibition, packed with dozens who traveled to the capital, and L -and -Ningon, from Tranaki.

The unit presented a short rest period in a The tension period for race relations in New Zealand. In November, tens of thousands of people went to Parliament to protest against a law that would reshape the Whitehanji treaty by setting up rigorous legal definitions for each sentence. Critics say that the law – which is not expected to pass – will lead to the stripping of Maori from legal rights and reflects great progress from the past five decades.
