Wellington, New Zealand – The mountain in New Zealand was considered ancestor of indigenous people on Thursday, after the new law gave them all the rights and responsibilities of the person.
Mount Taranaki – now known as Maung's Taranaki, her name Maori is the last natural feature that has received a personality in New Zealand, which ruled that the river and the plot of sacred land are people. The untouched, snow -covered one, the volcano, the second largest on the northern island of New Zealand for 8 261 feet and a popular place for tourism, hikes and snow sports.
Legal recognition recognizes the theft of Harry from Maori Taranaki after the colonized New Zealand. It has been fulfilling an agreement on the restoration of the country's government from indigenous for the damage that has done since then.

The law adopted on Thursday gives Moang Taranak all the rights, powers, responsibilities, responsibilities and obligations of the person. His legal entity has a name: Temu Tupua, which the law is considered as “living and indivisible”. These include ram and its surrounding peaks and land, “the inclusion of all their physical and metaphysical elements.”
The recently created subjects will be “Person and Voice”, notes the law with four members of the local Maor Ivi, or tribes, as well as four members appointed by the country's security minister.
“The mountain has long been honored by the ancestors, the source of physical, cultural and spiritual nutrition and the final resting place,” said Pavel Goldsmith on Thursday, which is responsible for the settlements between the government and Maori's tribes.
But the colonialists of New Zealand in the 18th and 19th centuries were first named Taranaki, and then the mountain itself. In 1770, British researcher Captain James Cook noticed a peak from his ship and named Harry Egmont.
In 1840, the Maori tribes and representatives of the British Crown signed the Wautangi Treaty – the founder of New Zealand – in which the Crown promised that Maori would retain the rights to their land and resources. But Maori and English versions of the contract were different – and the violations of the crown of both began immediately.
In 1865, a huge land was confiscated, including the mountain, to punish Maori for an uprising against the Crown. During the next century, hunting and sports groups spoke in Harry's management – but Maori did not.
“Maori's traditional practices were banned during tourism promoting,” said Goldsmith. But the Maori protest movement of the 1970s and the 80s led to a splash of recognition for language, culture and rights in the law of New Zealand.
Leaving has included billions of dollars in the Vayongi Contracting Settlements – for example, an agreement with eight Taranaki tribes signed in 2023.
“Today, Taranaki, Taranaki, our mountain, our hatred, shackles of shackles, Sharklez of the Taranaki political party, using a phrase that means asan Asin.
“We grew up knowing that no one can do anything to make us less related,” she added.
Mountain's legal rights are designed to maintain health and well -being. They will be used to stop forced sales, restore traditional use and allow you to keep the job to protect your native wildlife that blooms there. Public access will remain.

New Zealand became the first country in the world to recognize natural features as people when the law passed in 2014 gave the identity of Te Urewera, a huge native forest on the Northern Island.
The government's possession in the forest stopped in accordance with the law, and the tribe of the beds became its guardian.
“Te Urewera is an ancient and durable, nature fortress, living with history; its scenery is rich in mystery, adventure and distant beauty,” the law begins before describing its spiritual value for Maor. In 2017, New Zealand recognized the Vanganui River as a person as part of the settlement with its local Iwi.

The bill recognized by Harry was confirmed unanimously by 123 legislators of parliament. The vote was met by a bell voyate – a song by Maori – from a public gallery stuffed with dozens who traveled to the capital of Velington from Taranaki.
The unity provided a short respite in a tense period for racial relationships in New Zealand. In November, tens of thousands of people moved to parliament to protest the law that would change the Wautgie treaty by establishing firm legal definitions for each item. Sevenctaries say the law – which is supposed to be not passed – would deprive Maori of legal rights and sharply reverse progress over the past five decades.
