00:48The silencing of us today is a reminder of the silencing of our ancestors of the past.
00:54And it continues to happen today.
00:5621 days of silence.
01:02This may be confronting, but this is a reality for our whanous.
01:07This is a reality for the people who descend from Tipuna, who are wrongfully accused.
01:13Because you interpreted something.
01:17Interpretation is a feeling.
01:18It's not a fact.
01:19We haven't created the violence here.
01:23And now you've traded the noose for legislation.
01:30Well, I've got a message for you all today.
01:32We will not be silenced.
01:36We will not be assimilated.
01:39We will not be subjugated.
01:41And we make no apology for being absolutely, unapologetically, unfettered, unbridled Maori
01:50human beings.
02:02We will not be circumcised.
02:16OK.
