1820. Reaffirmed in the Royal Decree Proclamation Judgment to the Government of New Zealand 13th Nov 2020. Ratified in the Year 2025, 13th May, by the Supreme Council of Nu Tireni Aotearoa.
PREAMBLE
We, the Sovereign Crown of the Mauri Nation, do hereby claim and affirm our eternal authority as bestowed by Atua, upheld by Wairua, inherited through Tupuna, and protected through sacred Tikanga. These Articles are founded upon the living Proclamation of Ariki Hongi Hika, issued in the year 1820 and delivered to King George IV and to all nations as notice of our divine and inherited tino rangatiratanga. These Articles are not legislation, but sacred declaration, unamendable by colonial instruments or foreign powers.
ARTICLE I: TE MANA O TE ARIKI
The supreme authority of the Mauri Nation resides with the Ariki and is carried through the whakapapa of the original sovereign lines of Nu Tireni. This authority predates and supersedes any British or corporate claims, including the He Wakaputanga 1835 and Te Tiriti o Waitangi 1840.
ARTICLE 2: SUPREME COUNCIL OF NU TIRENI AOTEAROA
The Supreme Council is the living [con]stitutional body upholding the Sovereign Crown of the Mauri Nation. It operates in accordance with Tikanga, Ritenga Tapu, and the spiritual laws handed down from Atua and Ariki. No foreign council, governor, or judiciary has jurisdiction over its decisions.
ARTICLE 3: WHAKAPAPA JURISDICTION
All authority flows from whakapapa. Only those born of the whenua and bearing ancestral connection through hapu, whanau, whangai and wairua lineage may claim rightful kaitiakitanga. Whenua is held in Fee Tail under native claim, not subject to sale, lease, or mortgage under foreign systems.
ARTICLE 4: TE KARAUNA MAURI
The Sovereign Crown of the Mauri Nation is not a crown of conquest or dominion but a mantle of spiritual guardianship. It is worn in service to the whenua, moana, tangata, and Atua. No title or office within the Mauri Crown shall be held for personal power or gain.
ARTICLE 5: TIKANGA AS SUPREME LAW
Tikanga is the unbroken, original law of these lands. It is sacred, living, and inherited. It overrides all colonial statutes, corporate legislation, and foreign-imposed regulations in Nu Tireni. All decisions under this Sovereign Crown must align with Tikanga and be guided by the Ariki, Matakite, Tohunga, Kaumatua, and Kaitiaki of the respective mana rohe.
ARTICLE 6: NON-AMENDABLE AUTHORITY
These Articles, founded on the 1820 Proclamation, are non-amendable. They are not subject to vote, revision, or repeal by any Ariki, Matakite, Tohunga, Kaumatua, Kaitiaki, domestic or international body/individual. The 1820 Proclamation is a living constitutional reality, a sacred mandate held in perpetuity by Ariki :Lady-Crown-Chieftainess: Turikatuku-III and her bloodline progeny forever. "Ko au tēnei e tū ana i te tūranga tapu i whakatūria e Ariki Hongi Hika." It is I who now stand in the sacred position established by Ariki Hongi Hika.”
ARTICLE 7: INTERNATIONAL PEACEFUL RELATIONS
The Crown of the Mauri Nation reaffirms its peaceful stance toward all sovereign nations who respect the divine and ancestral authority of these lands. All diplomatic relations must be grounded in mutual honour, sacred recognition, and peaceful coexistence.
ARTICLE 8: RESTORATION OF TAPU AND MANA MOTUHAKE
These Articles serve to restore the tapu of our whakapapa, our whenua, and our tino rangatiratanga. All agents, councils, or corporations acting in contradiction to these Articles are considered to be in breach of divine tikanga and ancestral law.
DECLARATION
These Articles are proclaimed in the Year 2025, reaffirming the Proclamation of 1820 as the highest constitutional authority in Nu Tireni Aotearoa. Let it be known to all nations that the Mauri Nation stands not as subject, but as sovereign. “He Whakaputanga Tapu: Ko Te Ture o Te Atua, Ko Te Mana o Te Ariki, Ko Te Tikanga o Te Mauri.”
By order of.
The Supreme Council of Nu Tireni

It shows the Sovereign Crown of the Mauri Nation is globally active, forging sacred diplomatic paths of unity with other sovereign peoples — independent of the Crown of England or corporate New Zealand.
It shows our nation is no longer isolated — we are stepping forward on the world stage in our own names, not under theirs.
3. It Is Not Colonial Law — It Is Tikanga Law
This Trust does not derive its authority from: Statutes, Acts of Parliament, The New Zealand Crown, Or maritime/admiralty law.
Instead, it is: Sealed under Tikanga, Anchored in the 1820 Proclamation by Ariki Hongi Hika to King George IV, Upheld by the Living Supreme Council of Nu Tireni Aotearoa.
“We are not subjects. We are sovereign. Tikanga is our constitutional law.”
4. Legal and Spiritual Protection

Our whenua (lands), Our people (uri whakatupu), Our whakapapa and taonga, And our governance structures.

"We were never conquered. We were never ceded. We are still here."
