@@-hw- Indigenous means the people of the land. Or as we say here in Aotearoa: Tangata Whenua (people of the land). They were here before the Europeans came and colonised. It's not as strong as it once was because of colonisation... You know, the usual stuff, oppression, land theft, restriction of language, etc, but despite that, Maori have kept fighting and now we are in the process of decolonisation: we have a long way to go!!!! But the language is being revived, hopefully our children will have to learn it throughout school soon. The truth of NZ's history is being more widely acknowledged, and people are fighting for Maori rights - land rights and more... We have a lot of work to do! Anyway, the point is that Maori are Aotearoa (new Zealand) indigenous people.

It's crazy to see how many ingredients aren't from New Zealand too. Corn, squash, potatoes, yams, they're all from North America. To be specific, they are crops that were developed by indigenous First Nations in what is now Canada, the US and Mexico. And then of course there is mutton and pork, as anything with 4 legs and fur isn't from New Zealand either. But that's what culture and cuisine are- change. Change with the times, change with the circumstance. As a Canadian of first nations ethnicity, it's beautiful to see the crops we cultivated, that were then stolen/adopted by Europeans, nourish another indigenous group halfway across the world. Meegwetch.

I think the Maori have a legitimate reason to be proud. Effectively shown the earliest examples of trench warfare tactics in a gunpowder era, and pretty much the only major people to force the British Empire to a military truce due to their ferociousness and fierce military resistance.

​@@user-bg6qr9mh3iNo, that's not true. British soldiers on land outnumbered the Maori and were well equipped with mortars and artillery. Many of them were highly experienced too, having fought in the Crimean war. Also not true about selling muskets. The Maori already had massive stockpiles from previous trading, which were used in a nationwide Maori civil war. Which is how they were so well adapted to gunpowder warfare when they then fought the British. The conflict was ended because the Mario guerilla campaign was too successful.
