The Māori Green Lantern: Exposing the Whakapapa of Power

Forensic political analysis documenting how dispossession operates systematically through money flows, policy networks, and decades-long extraction strategies targeting tangata whenua. Reached position 79 globally in political influence within 24 hours of launch (8 November 2025)—no paid promotion, no corporate backing.

What We Do: Publish rigorous investigations grounded in mātauranga Māori. Every essay includes 50+ sources, money trails, and analysis refusing colonial fragmentation. Recent investigations expose: fiscal envelopes capping Treaty settlements at 2–3 cents per dollar; Project 2025 alignment funding ACT/National; co-governance dismantling strategies; health disparities linked to criminalization of mātauranga rongoā.

Why Koha: All analysis is free. No subscription walls. No shareholders suppressing truth. Koha reflects tikanga: manaakitanga (generosity), whanaungatanga (relationship), rangatiratanga (self-determination). Your koha directly funds research, international networks, and the Green Lantern Corps multiplying this framework across Indigenous media.

Current Reach: 42,000 across Substack, Facebook, Bluesky, email. On track for #1 globally by mid-2026.

Ko au te whenua, ko te whenua ko au. Being Māori first. Kaitiakitanga over extraction. Whakapiki ake ki te Ao Māori.
