I'm SA of Russian & German heritage & I've had the privilege of travelling to NZ twice & have enjoyed the hospitality of both the Maori & white NZ's . Both warm & welcoming indeed ... Mind blowing naturally beauty of this land , lived on both North & South Island. I admire & respect the Maori for their desire to go back to their roots.. I've studied Anthropology & believe a nation is only strong once it shows pride in it's identity... The wise words spoken in the beginning illustrate this ...

WHY DOESN'T ANYBODY DO A DOCUMENTARY ON OLD ZEALAND ?

The Māori raise a lot of interesting questions about what it means to be "native". They were only there a couple of hundred years before white people (300 years at the longest estimates), and there are parts of New Zealand that they never reached that white people settled. It's now been more than 300 years since white people arrived, so it makes you wonder - are white people now native to New Zealand? Not only have they been there longer than the Māori were, but they were also the first in some areas. It's an interesting situation, it's fascinating to see people have such a strong connection to a place they've never been before that their ancestors only recently inhabited. It reminds me of the sacred mountain that was carved up to make Mount Rushmore - it was only sacred for about 20 years, because the Native American tribe that decided it was sacred only just moved to that area. The guy who decided the mountain was sacred was even still alive! I think it shows just how quickly people form an attachment to places, and that we should rethink enshrinement of native people as being prioritised over "non-natives" as the entire situation is very xenophobic and anti-immigration.

We can trace our Maori roots back to the 1500’s on this land.

@@Bellenickna 100 years before white people first visited, and 300 years before the first colony! It really raises the question of "how long do you need to be there to be native?" and "should people get special rights based on race?" I think we really have to be careful about enshrining racism, and NZ with it's fine line between "native" and "non-native" is a curious case.

Awesome...loved every bit of this, I am Pakeha originally from Taumarunui. I too have an affiliation with the ONCE GREAT MIGHTY Whanganui River. We swam in it daily in the summer, picnicked alongside its banks, fished for eels, and skidded the papa rocks. Nearly many times the river took my life due to what was then huge rapids, sadly not today, it's a mere stream in Taumarunui these days. QUESTION... bringing Maori tanga back is all important and I totally back you, but there is so much MORE DNA running through MAORI today. I wish to know that bloodlines from non-indigenous ancestors, that run throughout ALL our veins,.... will be accepted, honored, and respected as well. Please keyboard critics, don't read more into this than a simple but genuine question.

you really have to look back at the underlying principles that shape te ao maori, kotahitanga(unity) and manaakitanga (hospitality and kindness) are core principles that guide maori to treat others with respect, but with everything in te ao maori it is about reciprocity acknowledge us and we will acknowledge you

Respect the question here. We've got to remember what that means to accept other bloodlines. Does that mean respecting the culture those bloodlines represent? maybe acknowledging them? A lot of those bloodlines have homes in their respective countries, fully practicing their culture and even speaking their languages. We've got to be able to say that we allow that for Māori. Do we? We can say that we live by our colonial bloodlines and respect them by our social systems, christian public holidays, churches etc. Uplifting Māori culture in it's homeland is all it is, there is no ignoring or denying the other cultures that live here.
