Current day Maori are the direct descendants of their polynesian tupuna.... who were the first people to set foot in and settle Aotearoa. They didn't brutally colonize any pre-existing peoples to take their land off them, as Pakeha did in earning the title of colonizers. You might want to argue what to call those first folk who set foot in Aotearoa, but pretending their descendents aren't the original native people of Aotearoa is pretty stupid (to say the least).

@Cian I am grateful to have this m sage from you. I realise regarding achievement, all nations “achieve” either simultaneously, earlier or later! I hope on the journey we can help and learn from one another. One of the things I don’t like about Empire building (of course many others other than UK did this) is the feeling of entitlement and superiority SOME people had. I hope most in my heart they were voyages of discovery, which I think is a natural desire for some and that is wonderful! Perhaps many have been responsible for repression of their own TO their own AND others through the centuries! However, there is good amongst it. Many of our sea-farers were press-ganged into the mariners life and record shows they as well as others, were treated with disdain and whipped for the slightest demeanour. Plus in our country the “workers” were 99% treated worse than a beast of burden, including children: building the wealth for the factory owner. We had FEW factory owners who treated worker with respect and housed them even. That was the philanthropic company of Joseph Cadbury of the Quakers. I could go on. Thank you! 🙏👌🤗

Norwegians, Swedes, Englishmen and Germans are also indigenous to Europe. But they are quite numerous and powerful, as opposed to the Saami.

Great video, thanks for it!

The singing at 1:18 was just over the top I couldn't stop laughing But really nice video! I've been watching your content for a little while now and I feel like my knowledge has expanded a lot, so thank you!

Thankyou for including that the english text was not correctly translated

I can't believe how recently this all went down.

Thank you for teaching others about our country! Not many of my foreign online friends think of the Maori when I mention New Zealand. Some schools don't really teach this kind of stuff here. You also taught really well, and I'm glad you are helping the spread of Maori culture.

Māori culture has been spread for years ! When I was at junior school in England in the early 80s we did a whole project on NZ/Māori culture - we learnt a Māori song, dance, made our own headdresses with Māori patterns etc- I still have them today and still know the words off by heart. There was NO disrespect or ignorance even 40 years ago- the victimhood complex is new

I'm from New Zealand and I'm proud of the pronunciation and research that has gone in to this video.

This Video is bloody excellent. Seriously, this was actually brilliant. Gave a really insightful look into the indigenous people of my own land, and as a NZ Pakeha, thought this did an excellent job of representing just how trash we were to the Maori. The pronunciation was pretty great also. Thank you for this.

Kiaora thankyou for sharing this awesome video .

i subscribed to your channel because of the care you took in telling the story of our people

It is amazing how the comments on each of your videos are full of surprise. Everybody surprised that you got things right! It is sad in a way because it means most media houses are not putting in any effort. For example, look at how bad Rowling did with native american culture. And she has access to sooo much too. But it is also really heartwarming as it shows how awesome people can be when they actually put in effort. Thank you for continuing to create these videos and allowing people like me to learn new things! You also present the videos in a very funny way. I cannot imagine how much time you must spend on each of these videos. So much research, then making the script, while adding jokes to it, the animation, the audio!!! You are amazing.

This whole video just makes me happy, you very clearly did your research - i do have a sidenote thought; it's actually pretty interesting, we Maori would speak Te Reo yes, but each tribe also had their own dislects, as most countries of today do. For example, some tribes dont pronounce their H and others say Kai instead of ngai

The Lipka Tatars (or Tatars in general, which is really an umbrella term for various diverse and quite dispersed Turkic groups, but it has to include the Lithuanian-Belarusian-Polish Lipka Tatars). 2. The Ainu. 3. The Sami people.

10ml no... not really in connection with Māori culture or around where I’m from (north island east coast). Whakapapa is deeply rooted in our identity. It Is apart of our tattooing ( Ta moko) which would especially be effected and it is a key factor in what it means to be maori. You could also literally have no maori blood and still be considered maori as long as you can whakapapa and thereby be accepted by an iwi, hapū and whānau, by way whangai Back in traditional times, we did not have a written language so all our stories, culture and learnings are deeply rooted in whakapapa. This is how we pass our knowledge down and learnings. When I die my story will be intertwined in the whakapapa (it already has since I’ve had children and married) and it will be shared as well to my future generations. ❤️

My dad told me stories passed down about these eagles being as big as a car. They had to hunt them down because children were being snatched/killed by them along with the Moa. Moa were dangerously dumb and they would just lead them to the edge of a cliff then push them off.

Good viddy! I learnt a bit about Aotearoa from a 2 week(!) visit/tour/conference 25 yrs ago after some basic anthro stuff from college and working in a museum. Your viddy added a LOT to my understanding. Well, we visited a Pa on that trip, and they had a craft center, (basketry, wood carving, etc.) and the Maori guy in charge saw the NW Coast style print on a buddy's T-shirt and told him what tribe the design was from. (my buddy didn't know) That teacher was trans-Pacific savvy! Education matters, even if equality is still a ways off. The future culture of NZ will owe a lot to the Maori.
