PĀKEHĀ AND MĀORI SHOULD ACKNOWLEDGE ALL OF COLONISATION'S CONSEQUENCES – Karl du Fresne
On the positive side, each culture has absorbed some of the best qualities of the other, resulting in a society that has evolved into something unique and internationally admired.
Māori and Pākehā are inextricably intertwined.
There is a bit of Pākehā in virtually all Māori, even if the activists prefer to disregard that part of their heritage, and a bit of Māori in most white New Zealanders, even those with no Māori lineage.
You can't grow up here and not absorb at least some Māori culture. It's one of those things that sets us apart and it should be celebrated.........
