I think it's awesome that maori culture still thrives today
The 'Once were warriors' film and the one about the whales...both fucking awesome...

it thrives jevad, but there is stil alot of resentment and unsettled affairs/treatys etc
much like the American indians i guess

those carvings are ballin ! i have some friends also deep into it themselves.. both of them have part maori blood yea.
although there is alot of conflict with the maoris to say the least over quite a few issues.. hehe

Are the maoris as oppressed as teh native americans are here...and the aboriginals in australia?
- Calme0
some yes, some no... some just live like they are urban gangstas from compton.. guess they influenced by us !

no way near as bad as aborigines (at least not for a loooooong time) when compared with them, prob not even as bad as NA
they still got shafted, as native people do

(Aug 21 05, 19:15)you know, like people could be going on vacation at some exotic native american village and whatnot. the culture that has been lost is sad. these cultures are/were so unique. now all the natives have are alchohol and casinos.
