Te Kara Flag 1834
The Te Kara Flag holds much significance to Mauri people as the first official flag of Aotearoa - Te Rui a Maui as an independent, self-governing nation. He Wakaputanga o te Rangatiratanga o Nu Tireni 1835 [Declaration of Independence] confirms that our sovereign nation cannot be controlled by an external foreign government.
The flag upholds the mana and authority of He Wakaputanga o te Rangatiratanga o Nu Tireni, signed in 1835 by 34 Māori chiefs.
The flag upholds the privileges and unextinguished native title lands rights as stated in Te Tirit o Waitangi in 1840.
The Flag represents the first official acknowledgment of Mauri sovereignty and unity throughout the Commonwealth Nations.
The flag is flown by Mauri for independence, self-governance and self-determination.
