Tino rangatiratanga

Self determination
As an anarchist I've always been impressed with the concept of tino rangatiratanga, which seems to encompass both personal and mass liberty as higher concepts than state law. Maybe it's just because they have such a cool red'n'black flag but the historical bloody usurpment of Maori land by the British epitomises colonialism.
