New Zealand, Wellington (AP) -Mounts in New Zealand, were regarded as ancestors by indigenous people, and were recognized as a corporation on Thursday after the new law acknowledged all human rights and responsibilities.
At present, Mount Taranaki, known as Maori’s name, Taranaki Mowna, is the latest natural feature in New Zealand, and it has been judged that rivers and sacred lands have previously been people. Snowy and snowy dormant volcanoes are the second highest spots of sightseeing, hiking and snow sports, 2,518 meters (8,261 feet) in Kitajima, New Zealand.
Legal recognition acknowledges theft of mountains from Maori in the Taranaki region after New Zealand has been colonized. Since then, it has been agreed with the government of the government to indigenous rescue for the harm of land.
The law passed on Thursday gives Taranaki Maunga the rights, authority, duty, responsibility, and debt of the person. That legal personality has a name. Tekāhuitupua, the law is regarded as “alive and inseparable whole.” It contains Taranaki and its surrounding peaks and land, “incorporates all physical and metaphysical elements.”
According to the law, the newly created organizations are the “face and voice” of the mountains, and there are four members of the local Maori IWI or tribes, and four members appointed by the Presidents of the country. 。
“The mountains have long been the prestigious ancestors, the source of physical, cultural, and mental nutrition, and the last resting place,” said Paul, a member of the Diet in charge of settlement between the government and the Maori tribe.・ Gold Smith told Congress in a Thursday speech.
However, the 18th and 19th -century New Zealand colonists first won the name of Taranaki, followed by the mountain itself. In 1770, the Captain of the British explorer James Cook found the peak on the ship and named Mt. Egmont.
In 1840, the Maori tribes and the British crown representatives signed the New Zealand document, Wetangi Treaty. The crown promised that Maori would hold the land and resources rights. However, the English version of the treaty was different, and both of the crown violations began immediately.
In 1865, the vast swears of Taranaki, including the mountains, were confiscated to punish Maori because they rebelled against the crown. In the next century, the hunting group and the sports group had the right to speak in mountain management, but Maori was not.
“While sightseeing was being promoted, the traditional Maori relevant practice was banned,” said Gold Smith. However, Maori’s protests in the 1970s and 1980s have increased the awareness of Maori, culture, and rights in the New Zealand Law.
Relief includes billions of dollars, including agreement with the eight tribes of Taranaki signed in 2023.
“Today, our Mownga Topna, our Mowna Taranaki is free from binding, ignorant, and hatred,” said Debbie, a co -leader of political party Te Party Maori.・ Negarewa Packer said. The Taranaki tribe using a phrase that means the mountains of ancestors.
“We grew up knowing that there was nothing to do to make us so connected,” she added.
Mountain legal rights aim to support their health and happiness. They are hired to suspend forced sales, restore conventional use, and to protect the wild wildlife that prospering. Public access remains.

New Zealand was the first country in the world where the law was passed in 2014, when he gave his personality to Te UREWERA, a vast forest of Kitajima, to recognize the characteristics of nature. The government’s ownership has stopped, and the Tuho tribe has become a guardian.
“Te Ureulella is ancient, permanent, natural fortress, and live with history. The scenery is rich in mystery, adventure, and remote beauty,” the law began, and Maori’s spiritual important important. It starts before explaining sex. In 2017, New Zealand acknowledged the River Fanganui as a human settlement with local IWI.
The bill to recognize the mountain personality was unanimously affected by 123 parliamentarians. The voting was greeted by the Public Gallery, the sound of Maori, packed with dozens of people who traveled to the capital city of Wellington from Taranaki.
Unity provided a short rest in a time when he was nervous due to New Zealand racial relationships. In November, tens of thousands of people marched to Congress and protested the law to rebuild the Witenge Treaty by setting strict legal definitions in each clause. The slanders are not expected to be passed, but they say that Maori will strip legal rights and dramatically reverses progress from the past 50 years.
