Fun fact - In 1995 my mother took the New Zealand government to court because she thought it unfair that Maori babies weren't given birth certificates in Te Ao Māori, so I became the first baby in new Zealand history to have a Maori birth certificate.
Amazing my brother ❤
Thank you for letting me have my iwi and my Maori name on my birth certificate
Maori certificates were mandatory in 1911. Death certificates added in 1913.
So definitely not the first one unfortunately
As a Maori living in Finland, it’s exciting to see my home town being showcased on the world stage. Thank you Robin, GMA and Aotearoa! Arohanui from Finland 🖤🖤
I'd love to go to Finland!
Same just like (Patrick saying FINLAND!!) in that one episode of Spongebob Squarepants lol
As an immigrant to Aotearoa, New Zealand from the uk I have to say that we are so lucky - the Māori people are incredibly generous in how they share their culture and language with the rest of us. I’ve found such a lot of wisom and comfort in it.
Ur not really the lucky one the country and people born and raised there r the lucky ones as a whole and where their from ur happy u came across a welcoming country
I doubt they had much choice when it came to sharing their land and I think you will find they had to fight to keep their language and traditions.
@@oyaami1874 they choose to share it today when they don't need to
@@oyaami1874 oh I don’t mean when Aotearoa was colonized!! I mean now, in 2023, we are encouraged to learn and use te reo Māori and take part in Māori cultural traditions which is very magnanimous of NZ Māori considering that history. Colonizers banned use of te reo, Māori had to fight very hard to keep the culture alive so I’m very grateful that they allow and encourage us pakeha NZers to share in it
@@BlankNames111 we ain't sharing it today, white people (Pakeha) are still trying to take our land and resources. 2023.
Kia ora Robin! You and the team are always welcome back, Thank you for show casing the real culture of New Zealand. The indigenous Māori culture. Kia ora to the cuzzies at Te Puia
This should be an example for the people of the US to respect the first indigenous peoples of their country. And give the the honour they deserve. Those ancient warriors that survived the history of colonisation.
I came to comment to find this comment i love that others are seeing Maori but id rather see USA dive into their Native people
I am a proud Māori and it is so beautiful to see our culture out there for the rest of the world to see nowadays. The sad truth is that our culture isn't welcome by some people in New Zealand so it's great to see other nations and other cultures appreciate it. The resurgence of the Māori culture is something I admire and think of every day.
Seeing people from countries all over the world watch my videos of kapa haka performances each day is a blessing. I want to do my part in showcasing the Māori culture to the world. Thank you for the upload - Kia ora!!!
Do you have a CZcams channel where you, share your videos?
It is also a shame that the rest of the world are not aware of the maori custom to fill a supermarket trolley up with chips and alcohol and force your way past security without paying then blame it on pakehas.
@@user-oh4yd5uh4e yes make sure us Māori don’t get too much praise! We’ll done
@@taamecollier3088 You´re welcome. Anytime👍
News from the Rotorua Daily Post:
"Child, 2, dies after Rotorua driveway accident, family member steals from doctor trying to save child's life." As hospital staff tried to save the life of a 2-year-old boy run over in a Rotorua driveway, a family member swiped a doctor's two phones and a bank card and went on a spending spree. The child died a short time later but Melissa Herewini (A MAORI) had already taken the bank card to four stores in Rotorua and bought alcohol, food, petrol, phone credit and cigarettes.

New Zealand Hearald news headline 29 May, 2024
“Raglan man Simon Terence Hamiora Kereopa drags partner outside naked, pours boiling water over her“
Kereopa ( A MAORI) dragged her outside through the kitchen door by her arms, down the kitchen steps and onto the ground.
He then grabbed the kettle, which was just inside the door, and poured the boiling water over the victim - who was naked at the time - directly onto her skin. As he did so, Kereopa told her “you deserve it, and that’s what you get”. He then told her he would reboil the jug and pour it on her face. She ran to seek help from her sister but she was asleep, before running into her daughter’s room and hugging her. Kereopa then went into the room and said, “once you let go, I’m burning your face”.
Judge Stephen Clark noted Kereopa’s 17 family violence convictions, eight of which were against the current victim.
The man responsible, Simon Terence Hamiora Kereopa, was today jailed for the incident, his ninth conviction against the victim during their 20-year-plus relationship.
Ngā mihi Robyn. How awesome you came for a stop in Rotorua ❤
Who better to see & share this with us. Robin Roberts is an all time favorite TV personality.
America has a culture too...not hip hop or punk rock...it's the Native American indians who are the indigenous people of America...should also embrace there culture and language...
Absolutely
Do you Guys embrace your indigenous culture?
@@springwater3723 No. they are mostly in reservations separated from everyone by the government. We learn about how they were ruined by settlers, but nothing really else about the beauty of their culture. They face a lot of discrimination and are not looked to as American culture. It’s so sad.
I’m British currently travelling all over New Zealand and I love the Maori culture. It’s so fascinating and they are the nicest people.
The majority are criminal scum
@@SamxJxPx1993 Better than being an uneducated, ignorant FW like you. 👍
@@Huia1975 i live here. I know that around 85% of all serious crimes are committed by non-white minorities.
@@SamxJxPx1993 65% from ethnic minorities, 35% from Europeans.
Maori make up 45% of offenders, with again Europeans clocking 35% whilst the gap is large Pakeha are not as innocent as you make them out to be.
@@XCYLNT_Goddess No.
I live in the UK and have my son and family living in NZ, my grandchildren are learning about Maori culture at pre school. Let's hope it continues, their culture is fascinating and as stated elsewhere, very friendly people.
Love the Maori culture. It's beautiful, we sometimes take it for granted as someone who was born and raised here.
Totally! I definitely have, but now I want to deepen my relationship and support it more
@@evedotcom you wokies like to sound nice and compassionate but it just shows how patronising you are
I’m truly blessed to be Māori, I am Māori through my dad’s side of the family & I am truly proud of my culture. I can truly say that it is a beautiful culture & language. So glad that it’s getting a resurgence - younger generations need to be connected to this beautiful culture ❤️
The majority are criminal scum.
@@SamxJxPx1993Did you happen to have analysed the entirety of the Maori population.
Or are you just making assumptions based off of ideology, emotion and just plain spite?
Imagine pakeha saying I'm proud to be pakeha... Anyone of any race saying that looks ridiculous. We're alive, create your own path
@@troyhardie1159 they proud of the culture stop trying to pick anything to hate over move on many proud Russians Australians africakns and others get a grip snowflake
@@troyhardie1159 pakeha won't say that because their history is nothing to be proud of.. Worldwide
I'm 58 yrs - my education of the Maori Culture in all my time at school was 2 trips to the Museum.
It has taken me many years to embrace the Maori Culture - I had a lot of old myths to get rid off.
Lovely to see GMA in NZ
Most of what we see today is the cherry picked best of Maori culture kind of the reverse problem, so not sure kids are getting a balanced understanding even today. For example cannibalism and the boiling heads of fallen Maori enemy tribes was "also" a big part of the culture, the tribal areas that make up what we now call modern day NZ was certainly no utopia before the British invaded, and that part of history is now been deliberately ignored.
Didn’t we all…
Good on you for learning on your own. I have been learning most of what I know about our Maori culture and history since leaving school. You're so right, there's a shocking gap, we dont teach much of our own history at all. And when you learn about it you start to see why.
@@Battleneter that's the sort of talk to belittle Maori people, I'd like to know where you get your info, because while shrunken heads are a part of their culture and can often be relatives, the notion that they were cannibals is misleading. The people who were here before us had a long and diverse history, with tribes all having their own laws. To judge them so harshly when it was the crown and others who manipulated the situation. I'd be careful what you say online, you're not coming off well.
@@shanoncg There are recorded cases of Maori catabolism, it is in no way false you are misguided. I will however say it was not wide spread and usually associated with tribal conflicts. I am not concerned if I "come off well" stating factual history.
This is awsome to see this being shared for the world. Our culture is important to us Maori and we love to share an teach so others can learn more about of beautiful New Zealand Aotearoa 🇳🇿 ❤
I'm so happy to see her in Aotearoa. It doesn't matter what culture you have or where you originally came from everyone needs to learn how to pronounce Te Reo Maori words. Don't need to learn the language as a whole but learning how pronounce the words, learning basic greetings and pronouncing places names is enough in my opinion
Kia Ora, Nau Mai Haere Mai - Hello welcome to New Zealand known as Aotearoa (Land of the long white cloud). I live in Hawkes Bay, which is about a 3-4 hour drive from Rotorua. Great wine producing area with top notch wineries. So excited to have you Robyn, and your crew in our country. I hope you enjoy your time here.
Aotearoa isn’t a term that all Maori have used for New Zealand. The Ngai Tahu iwi have said that it has little meaning to them and isn’t a word they’d use to describe the country as a whole.
Certainly unknowingly Te Tau Ihu O Waka A Maui representative for E waru Nga Iwi or Te Wai Pounamu Southern South Islands Province..
Oh poor Hawkes Bay. My heart bleeds for the North Island right now. I truly hope you are ok. With love from Big Cuzzy Bro across the ditch 🇦🇺🇳🇿
I work in the NZ govt. and it’s very exciting as a public servant to be able to learn te ao Māori including te reo and tikanga. It’s absolutely improved every aspect of my work and made me a better public servant
As a proud Māori this put a massive smile on my face, I’m not to sure but I think my auntie had a massive part of bringing the Māori language back into schools before she past.. RIP Auntie Mac Tino
Gorgeous and moving. Thank you! Definitely would love to visit one day soon
NZ-born & bred & I can remember we learned nothing about the Maori culture at all at school in the 80s. At high school, there were Maori culture classes or similar but it was expected that only Maori kids were able to go, not us white folk!
I wish I learned more about the Maori culture and language when I was at school. I need to do more now! Maori is such a beautiful language
Na mihi kia koe.N.Z. today 2023 is varied with alot of course ways that learning & listening to what our children's N.Z.history NZEC. curriculum openings. I have good faith in my grandchildren,that the teaches will be for them to have a knowledge of & their understandings are of what they will be either affected by or a degree of contentment. My seven heavens,are whom what validates my life too being Maori Wahine as their Nani forever..Thank you for your appreciative comment ,I trust a many of Maori would have had such agood friend in their lives..Best to you wife & Whanau
I was 80s kid too in Auckland and had Māori culture though our school life - sing our songs to my kids today. Perfected making my poi’s in Girl Guides, and high school Māori Cultural Group welcoming for all of us pakehas. Might have been the beginning of getting back to it in the 80s and totally see the kids more in our shared culture now.
That's interesting cause I went to Primary school in the 90s (so a decade later) & I was the only white girl in my Kapa Haka group but was welcomed in with open arms & hearts. No one ever told me I couldn't join. Perhaps it depended on the school.
Nau mai haere mai. Absolutely love my country, Aotearoa and love my people tangata whenua. Mauri ora x Ngā mihi Robin, for your respect and for embracing our reo.
What an awesome interview; I am so proud to be Māori have lived away for 17 years but glad to be home on my whenua while watching this. ❤
So much in common with the Native American cultures.
In New Zealand we host many indigenous tribes from the USA and Canada. It is our privilege to share experiences with indigenous people world wide. These cultures and language are a nation's national treasure and we must protect them so all children know their heritage.
Unique country, unique peoples, growing diversity and love being loved. Come visit or live, we welcome you.
Thanks for sharing my beautiful culture with the world ❤
I asked my mom as a kid she didn’t teach us Spanish and she told me she didn’t want me to get in trouble. That still goes on in America today.
i learned spanish from my mom as a kid but the more i talk to other multicultural/first gen americans, i find that most families are very reluctant to teach their native language to their kids, if they do at all. it's pretty sad actually. i actively search out places to practice the languages i know so that i don't forget them and i can continue to connect with a much wider variety of cultures. i wish other people would do the same as adults, even if they weren't fortunate enough to have grown up w multiple languages.
I'm from new zealand and in both high schools I went to Spanish was compulsory during the first 2 years
IT SICKENS ME THE MINDSET THAT SOME HAVE ABOUT LEARNING LANGUAGES, ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE LINKED TO THOSE LANGUAGES. LANGUAGES KEEP CONNECTIONS ALIVE.
I was born in Mexico then lived in The Bay Area and have been living here in New Zealand for 22 years. I love it here.
Do you respect the Maori? Do you help them as the people of that land?
@@liltuff7303 lets just all respect each other, Respect is earned, we are not entitled to respect. Geez.
@@liltuff7303 in Aotearoa/NZ respect is earned no matter what culture people are from.
Tena Koe hope you have Whanau of your own here .Our nation has grown a diverse of multi cultures that bring new traditions offering
An experience that contributes a level of respect so awesome once you become a participate sharing human values..Na mini nui kia koe ...
It makes me tear up to have this reminder of how lucky I am to have grown up in Aotearoa, to have regularly gone on holiday to Rotorua, and exposed to a lot of the Maori culture there and at school. I have some Maori ancestry on my maternal grandmother’s side, though culturally my family are NZ European (undoubtedly due to colonialism, restricting the cultural expression of some of my ancestors, and so nothing was passed down). This video is another reminder that I want to deepen the relationship I have with the culture. I appreciate it more now that I’m older and living overseas 💛
Reading here of your Whanau lifetime,I'd like to share a personal experience I've only just found myself about my strong beautiful & courageous cousin whom I'm proud to say has excelled her passion through journalism sharing her love of who she's become today upon restraints of yesterday. Pls her journey relates alittle about what feelings you've described. E Tangata is the page & Nadine Ann Hura is my cousin.One of the finiest memoirist legionar with such passionate Maoridom emeritus validated beyond life.I encourage you to seek our belated Professor Taa Moana Jackson. A grip of powerful energy I'm convinced will touch a gracious intimacy of emotions..He tino pai kia koe Evesparks..Wahinetoa ..
This video just popped up in my feed..watching and then realise @1m48s THAT'S MY COUSIN!
Kia Ora Robin. I'm sure you enjoyed your time with my Maori iwi & culture. The opportunity to gain more intimate knowledge about our iwi I'm sure you loved and appreciated it. The wisdom, & understanding shared with you about my Maori people we pass down to our next generation. Arohanui Robin❤
Thank you for showing this ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Tēnā koutou
Saw this live when I was there in 2019. Breathtaking
I'm sooooo proud of my culture... we're strong people. Rotorua is so beautiful but it smells like rotten eggs - it's the sulphur lol but such a beautiful place. Kia Ora Robyn - thank you for acknowledging our culture. I bet you were gifted with plenty of New Zealand Maori gifts.
Lol what I remember also when I went as a kid 😊
Thankyou ABC America and of course to Good Morning America .
As a Proud Maori Man from bottom of my heart.
This was amazing to watch and to have a class report from you.
Kia Ora .
As a Maori I approve.
It was nice for you to see our culture, please make sure you do an abundance of education about your own Indigenous cultures in the future too :)
I've been there many years ago. Such a great experience!
Thank you for sharing the Maori culture so beautifully. Nga mihi!
Ngā mihi robin please come back again ✨✌️
Ngā mihi nui GMA whānau
Hi Robin, I hope you enjoyed your time in Aotearoa New Zealand.
welcome to New Zealand. Thank you for showcasing our country
Welcome to NZ, I'm here in Auckland :-D So cool to see you here in NZ
You mean Aotearoa in Tamaki Makaurau. White old woman
@@SamxJxPx1993 E hoa, insulting people doesn't encourage the use of te reo Māori. On android a long press can add a macron Tāmaki Makaurau.
@@SamxJxPx1993 that was unnecessary :/
@@AngieSainty Oh? It's unnecessary when the shoe is on the other foot, but when we say Aotearoa we get chastised for it and that's okay?
@@ItzCoopzFtw No it is not ok but people can use either. She wasnt saying anything bad about Aotearoa. You didn't need to call her an 'old white woman'.
I am so proud to be Māori!
I went there today and it was amazing. I am from the US and I thank good morning america 🇺🇸. It was one of the best….❤️❤️❤️
It’s crazy our government not soo many years ago said learning te reo Maori was a waste of time and would get you no where so as teenagers going to college we could only choose Japanese or French to languages to learn. 😢
Same here, I graduated 2 years ago. Moving up north to a more Māori populated area was the best thing I ever did. I finally got to learn my language. In Auckland it was Spanish or French and that was it.
I went to high school in the last 90's & we had Maori as a language option.
Love seeing my culture being represented ❤
As a Maori, respectfully, perhaps you should spend more time engaging with and giving a platform for the indigenous people of North America?
I know, but at least I learn about the Maori, there are many platforms for Native Americans, so I know more about them than the Maori.
😂😂😂😂
Subtitles, please. I can't make out what the American is saying 😂
Kia ora koutou ❤ from Tauranga New Zealand 😉
Welcome to Aotearoa New Zealand
yep now go and embrace your own indigenous people. celebrate and learn their culture
Amazing to be from here
Awesome to see you homies in NZ
If you love culture so much, why not do Native American Culture or would that be too much guilt for you to handle?
So where would you go to do interviews and watch the native American culture? The reservations?..lol
@@brucefale6132 Why are you laughing? They were forced on those pieces of shit lands. White people damn near wiped their culture from this Earth. So yes, interview them on the reservations.
@@hawkeyemadi...I know they were you idiot.
You're missing the point aren't you.
You can interview them to get their story...which by the way has been done numerous times if you've bothered to find it.
Secondly they don't showcase their traditions and customs on the reservations like the Maori do here do they.
Don't get me wrong....I would love to see the native American Indians strut their stuff in traditional dress and so on....but they don't do that on the reservations do they.
That's why Im laughing.
Agree 💯
I love our country and I love our culture. Best culture in the world
Stay pure Maori people and don't get watered down
Great advice, thanks
many are like me and lost.. Over 95% white and some Maori in me. Is this what you mean mate?
Same chit Adolf Hitlerr said in 1930s.. Why is it ok for some to have culture and others not too? I'm playing devil's advocate here..
While New Zealand got the better European colonizers, in Australia we got the British colonizers who tried to wipe out the entire Indigenous population through mass murder and conversion. The greed and superiority complex of Anglo-Saxon migrants and Australian politicians prevented the Australian Aboriginal culture from flourishing in the modern age. The Kiwis have done it well on this one.
That's changing. Significantly so since I arrived in Australia 33 years. About time too. You can't continue to suppress 60,000 years of history under 200 blinks of the eye.
@@triarb5790 well said
This is no sleight on Australian Aboriginals - what happened there is truely a tragedy. But Maori got a better deal not because of the character of the colonists, but because the risk of not entering into a treaty would be total war.
That was a long ass time ago mate 🤠
Beautiful New Zealand
❤❤❤❤❤ Enchanted all. Its obvious everything, they are indigenous people who are wanting the world they are humans like everyone else, only different is their heritage traditions we have to respect.
Chur awesome thank u for coming to new zealand
I got the mana from my mamma
Me2
its just weird that Americans care about new Zealand let alone Aus u guys didn't think the country existed
It's almost like they're wishing it's Indigenous culture was like NZs maybe 🤔
the strongest indegenous group on the planet, spiritualy and physically.
Not culturally? As maybe they're too aggressive and like to abuse children or innocent people.. I know I'm part Maori and was mentally abused by my dad.. He was a crazy and had anger management issues 😮
Wow beautiful beautiful
WOW COOL
everyone learns te reo in new Zealand, we have respect this is kinda woke narrative that we feel oppressed or something is strange.. needs to stop ✋ but I like how you tried to respect the culture too and showed more of the history than some
♥️♥️♥️
That was a nice watch. I’m Maori so it’s great to see my culture shown in a positive light ❤Kia Ora
The problem I have is we are cherry picking what traditionally Maori culture was, just like European countries Maori tribes wared with each other and it was brutal, they certainly never formed a united country. Cannibalism and boiling the heads of fallen enemy tribes was a large part of the culture, but it's too unpleasant so we choose to create the illusion the Islands that make up modern day NZ were some kind of utopia before the "evil" British invaded.
@@Battleneter then they could’ve also mentioned how the colonisers who invaded and decimated Maori brought guns, tobacco, alcohol and syphilis. They weren’t cherry picking as you try to put it, it was a 9 minute segment, do you really think a culture can be completely crammed into a 9 minute segment? Girl ka kite
@@ScootDoot1977 Yep Maori sold a lot of their land for weapons so they could fight other tribes, some of that sold land disputed over the years. As for tobacco & alcohol just like Europeans of the day they liked it, I am pretty sure that was not forced on them, we all now know the evils of smoking and excessive alcohol. I appreciate this is only a tv segment.
@@Battleneter which they wouldn’t have had access to in the first place if the STD bringers didn’t arrive…. Right?
@@Battleneter There is a 'name' for people like you. I sure hope you don't live in Aotearoa.
Exceptional information about the Maori culture. Definitely over the years the tribal civilization had been dissolved because new societies had made the traditional roots vanished from the history. Undeniably Maori had fought indefinitely to keep life their traditional roots.
Maybe GMA should also check out the university where Maori is the primary language, while in New Zealand.
Good morning
wow what an accent!
I am a U.S. citizen who is Black and have a Māori DNA connection? I only ever heard of “TeekS” who is Māori. I have no idea how this happened in the U.S. any suggestions? Maybe slavery? Idk
We been through the americas
Maoris also lived in Egypt long before the Egeptians and were the ones who built the pyramids. The kaimanawa Wall is proof of this. @@DASWATSUP
Kia ora ehoa. Ko kane taku ingoa yesir

Colonialism !? Even today in the 21st century , New Zealand though politically independent , and like Australia, still represents itself as a British colonial entity with its flag , its BRITISH Head of State and its British Crown adorned coat of arms. It's essentially a self governing British Dominion in the south Pacific.
Beautiful Aotearoa deserves to be a fully sovereign nation in its own right with a MAORI Head of State. Kia kaha !
I'm so proud to be Maori❤️It's such a Beautiful and Rich culture however...Nah i'm just kidding Maori all the way😇 Currently taking classes for Weaving and made a pretty Neat Kete my Matua said i'm a "Bright Tangata Whenua for the future" I'm so proud to be Maori i cannot put it into words😇❤️🔥✨😘
I want to hear Sherri Shepard up in here
I thought the Maori were also settlers, but from Polynesia, rather than indigenous.
There is a difference. Polynesians were settlers in New zealand. Maoris are the ones who do the smash-and-grab robberies at Michael Hill Jewellers.
@@user-oh4yd5uh4eSo Maori were like Vikings?
they were the first people in nz so they are indigenous - your logic states that no one is indigenous then as everybody came out of Africa so apart from Africa there are no indigenous people in the world
If only the white man woke up everywhere
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊
I cant wait to read the angry pakeha people's discrediting comments and expert opinions about my culture !! And also the nice pakeha people who give a dam engage in our culture help and understand us we love you darely thank you
"Mell ree culture"
Another Money grab from my people,
Meeaaarrriiii
That American woman hasn't got a clue.
Read to the ends of the earth and back again by Maxwell C Hill if you want a better insight. Nothing ever is what it seems to be.
It’s also weird that Americans try to be everyone else but they can’t be themselves like stick to one personality
Awesome culture!
I'm just curious, why don't we talk about Moriori? There's a lot of talk about Maori culture but I haven't seen any talk about Moriori culture & their history in NZ? They are never mentioned in the media or in pieces like this. I didn't even know they existed until later on in my life. Are they not also an important part of NZ & our history? I just wonder why we never hear about them? Or their language & traditions & their culture? To me they seem to have been totally forgotten about which is terrible, given what was done to them. Shouldn't we be seeking an opportunity to talk about them as well as Maori?
Moriori language and culture are certainty distinct, but not distinct enough from mainland Maori culture to highlight on American morning television, I would say. I am sure if they visited the Chatham islands, they would hear all about it.
@@charlesleroq932 I might not have been clear but I'm not talking about America or American TV. I mean in NZ itself, it's never brought up or mentioned in mainstream NZ media or within our society itself. Why should anyone have to go to the Chatham Islands to learn about them or their culture? It's not that way for Maori. Why do we not celebrate Moriori at all? Like I said I had no idea there was another tribe living here with Maori & that's wrong, they matter & should be apart of the teaching of our History, would you not agree?
@@kiwigirl7891 I don't disagree, and the first step is bringing Moriori into the new history syllabus, which is being taught for the first time this year. I know that people are advocating for Moriori to take a more prominent part of it. There are aspects of their culture, particularly their philosophy of non-violence, which New Zealanders would benefit from learning about. There is an exhibition at Te Papa of Moriori history, which is well worth visiting, if you haven't already. I would also add that Moriori culture is still going through a sort of revitalisation right now, and we might yet see a more confident, distinct Moriori identity presenting itself more prominently in the near future.
@@charlesleroq932it’s very hard to get a hold of any resources. I’ve been trying to find resources about it recently and have found that there’s almost no content to be found online about it unless you look very hard which is what I’ve been doing
@@charlesleroq932 (7 mo later) I wouldn't be the first to ask what might have been uncovered from DNA testing in NZ? This science is revealing some fascinating new understandings of human migration. The two I think of right now are - (1) some Black Americans being able to narrow in on the region in Africa that their enslaved ancestors came from (2) reporting that the vastly scattered Australian Aboriginal peoples are less similar to each other than other ethnic groups. It is estimated there were around 700,000 indigenous people when Europeans arrived there.
Thank you but Dont learn about us Maori - learn about your own people our native American brothers and sisters and how you can honour them in their/your own land
They do learn about Native Americans in school, cinema, museums, etc., I know less about Maori than about Native Americans.
Wonder how much the New Zealand government paid for you guys to come and film this??
Fill out an OIA request if you want to learn
@@charlesleroq932 i have better things to do, but it’s clear to me that it was a paid for visit.
That is sad when the older guy thought he was too dumb to learn anything. But that is ignorance for you.
It is sad, but it is not ignorance. Māori children of that generation had it beaten into them that they were not as good as the white man. Your comment is ignorant.
As she flies around the world not having a worry about her carbon footprint. Fraud.
So...... I don't understand your point!!!
Planes - Cars - Trains - Boats shouldn't exist
Daddy chill!

Key-O'raw 🙃
The Maori are not indigenous to New Zealand. They are colonists from East Polynesia who settled the islands about 700 years ago, some 400 years before the arrival of European colonists. Rightly, their culture is being preserved and celebrated in parallel with that of the British settlers, with whom they have a long and largely peaceful relationship.
very true
1. That's what indigenous means. The first people in each place had to come from somewhere, people don't just pop up out of the ground.
2. "Largely peaceful" is complete nonsense I'm sorry. It certainly wasn't peaceful between 1840 and 1870 and any peace after that point was only because there was no realistic hope of any Māori armed resistance being successful.
@Oliver Indigenous is defined as inhabiting or existing in a land from the earliest times or from before the arrival of colonists. Colonists are people who settle an area but come from somewhere else. The aborigines are Indigenous to Australia having been settled there for thousands of years. The Maori moved to NZ from Polynesia relatively recently and are colonists.
The Scots and the English used to wage war pretty regularly but have coexisted relatively peacefully for 300 years. The Maori tribes only stopped fighting each other after European settlers pacified the islands. They have been relatively peaceful for over 150 years.
@@phoebus007
You are just redefining what words mean to suit your argument.
You are also not seeing the distinction between two groups of people peacefully coexisting, and one comprehensively defeating the other to the point where armed resistance becomes pointless.
@Oliver Far from it, those are the definitions in the Oxford English Dictionary. As for overwhelmingly defeating one side, a number of the Maori tribes sided with the British in order to bring intertribal warfare to an end. Thus the peace treaty at Waitangi.
New Zealand is becoming an increasingly multicultural nation, not just of Maori and British heritage but with many other Pacific islanders, Europeans, Chinese and Indian immigrants. Mature societies learn to live equally with one another, celebrating the best and discarding the worst of each culture.
