You have got to be joking. One of the many reasons there are so many ex-patriate Kiwis is that they've decided to leave "all that Maori nonsense" behind. (I'm quoting Kiwi expatriates)Quote:

NZ's silent white supremacists must be rubbing their hands together in anticipation. The Maori have chosen to marginalise themselves and their descendants for generations to come, all the while perpetuating a myth (that's all it is) of racial harmony because they got what they asked for (never ask for what you want - you may get it!)
Perhaps I should have qualified my statement with the term 'modern day society'. Regardless of how old you think I am, when I visited New Zealand and visited the sight, it was not as long ago as the signing of the Waitangi Treaty (1840). At that time and prior and post signing of the treaty there were many battles between Maori's themselves and also the colonising forces of the empire. The treaty was misinterpretted by both sides with the Maori's believing they were leasing out their land and not selling sovereignty over the land. There were also many dodgy deals as settlers bought land from people who had no right to sell it. The 'modern day' government of New Zealand is at least trying to make some redress and, I believe, has so far made various settlements in terms of return of some lands, several hundred million dollars in cash payments, formal apologies from the crown (state) for various breaches of the treaty and recognition that there are cultural associations between Maori's and the land (or various sites).Quote:

It ain't perfect but it's a damn site bettter than what you see in Australia - if you visit Alice Springs (still one of my favourite places in the world) you can starkly see the separation between white and aboriginal societies.
As for the 'extermination of NZ flightless bird', there are many flightless birds in NZ. However, if you refer to the Moa, the indiginous population did indeed have a hand in it's downfall, but according to http://www.terranature.org/flightlessBirds.htm , the population of this bird had already dwindled from several million to around 159,000 before man set foot on the islands.
Re: the learning of ones own language, should the rise of China continue as an economic power and (as a hypothesis) Chinese become the language of business worldwide (go with me on this one) would you suggest that English be discontinued as a language taught in schools in England, Australia or America ... No! If schools in New Zealand wish to keep their cultural heritage alive by teaching the Maori language, then good on them. I also found that many whites had learnt some of the Maori language and enjoyed learning about their culture too.
I needed to check some of my facts but found the following site useful:

Aunty thank-you for the invite, I have always wanted to tip-toe through your gorgeous gardens of Eden, feeling the soft bush against my naked legs and the little plump fury kiwi in my cupped hands (do they bite?) then soar up your mighty peaks for a quick ski.
Euroland has it's attractions too you know. How I would miss slagging off the French or pitying the English or fine dinning in Brussels and long summer days in Scotland. I couldn't miss for the world! Italy, Croatia and Greece,so much and such a short life.
America on the other hand, well yes I travelled extensively in my short life and do have some fond memories of those obese disaffected drunk Americans in their splendid natural habitat.
But what struck me as most endearing was the need for Americans in general to exaggerate "their" history and it's importance, at least since the first scurfy Englishmen arrived in 1607 in the twee and forgettable theme park in James Town. The nonsensical yet commonly used American phrase "since history began" sticks to mind.
All these sentiments around a cup of crap-O-ccino in the enlightened bowels of an American shopping mall, and who needs Europe anyway?
and seen some of the most beautiful boys ( I mean men Smiles) on the planet..I think it should be compulsory for all Americans to suck.

Have a nice day.
Yes, Aunty I am not claiming to be anything. I thought you had met some real Americans? If you need directions, they usually hang out in reservations centred around a casino, anywhere where there are infertile sterile lands,deserts are a good starting point.
Pearls of wisdom, I have been tempted, it is true, by the hybrid vigour of some of the offspring of those men that colonised those shores so long ago, those who ensured the very beginning of history. But I am rather more tempted by the later arrivals they are usually fresher and don't have as much of a wacko factor. Mexican anyone?
The border in fact just outside San Diego is an almighty relief from LA, a bolt hole I have used on numerous occations. And an even greater relief about five hundred kl into Baja, or if going from Vegas through Phoenix and staying in Tucson (avoid the fat hairy man and his guest house, you will thank me later or end up chasing through the dead of night through strange territories in your sports car, and end up sleeping at the border with all the doors locked and a bottle of tequila for company) relief will hit you at about Hermosillo and the second bottle of tequila, not an American insight, just you your hitch-hiker (ok he was just an innocent petrol pump attendant that I stopped to chat up, but even Keanu had to be discovered) endless adventure and real people to embrace. :cheese: :cheese: :cheese:
Ok thats a bit mean; many more real people to embrace? :cheers:
Does anyone have any idea what Cedric's trying to say? His stream-of-consciousness (make that unconsciousness) babble defies understanding. He rants on without regard for the rules of grammar or logic.
