Some 'About' info on waitangi.com
'WAITANGI' is a locality in the Bay of Islands, New Zealand (Aotearoa), and is historically significant in relation to an 1840 Treaty of Waitangi signed between the earlier inhabitants and European arrivals. There are many other places named 'Waitangi' in New Zealand and the Chatham Islands. Meaning 'weeping waters' there are a number of rivers that bear the same name.
The Treaty itself served its purpose in its day, and is now 186 years in the past. We have since moved into another era or age of understanding altogether, although contentious issues around race are still being promoted by an 'industry' of political and other interests who gain from staying involved. A clearer understanding of these matters would help bring the freedom to build a healthier, more content people.
'METOIKOS' is a Greek word. I understood it to mean a person who feels they are living as a stranger or alien amongst those of his own country or city. It was also a pen-name used at times in New Zealand by Hugh Carleton (1810-1890), journalist, newspaper founder and editor, who left a very interesting and accurate record of his witnessing the same turmoils and persecutions in early Colonial New Zealand, as we are witnessing in the world today. He was the first 'Father of the House' (politician) in N.Z., and son-in-law of Henry Williams, so had very first-hand knowledge.
The 'THE TRAIL OF WAITANGI' section was the main page title of this website from 2002 to 2023. Articles written about the few years leading up to the 1840 Treaty of Waitangi until several years after, and were intended to show the difference of spirit or nature of the peoples involved.
The title, 'The Trail of Waitangi' was inspired by the major prophet of the Piscean age, William Branham, who spoke in late 1965 of the 'The Trail of the Serpent'.
Written from the viewpoint of an 'observer' with a reasonable understanding of New Zealand pre-European history, and awareness of the current change as we move into a new Aquarian age or world.
