      No, but the article explains that it’s the Māori that have rights to New Zealand, having settled there in the 1300s. The colonial settlers signed the Treaty of Waitangi with the Māori, cementing Māori self-governance. Now Parliament is attempting to do away with the treaty in an attempt to exert control over the Māori, who are the rightful owners of New Zealand.
