The pope will not even apologise for the peadophiles he protects let alone think that he may apologise for white supremacy that his church endorsed.
Do you think the american indigenous will or should get behind this?
The doctrine of discovery provided the legal and political justification for European monarchs to conquer and claim lands inhabited by indigenous peoples. It was supported by a number of papal bulls (Catholic laws) issued by the Vatican in the 15th and 16th centuries.
Tukaki says this "fueled white supremacy" and supported the "dehumanisation, dispossession, murder, and forced assimilation" of those indigenous peoples.
"It is a shameful blight not only on our history here in New Zealand but right across the first nations world where an old, archaic and quite frankly document is not repudiated by the Vatican," Tukaki says.
"They must be held to account for the sins of their ancestors in what has been an intergenerational trauma visited on many of our indigenous brothers and sisters over many centuries."
"Today the New Zealand Māori Council joins that fight alongside our indigenous and first nations brothers and sisters for an accounting of the Vatican."
