Richard Treadgold: MAORI PARADISE LOST - EVIL ENGLISH WRECKED OUR FLAWLESS LIFE.
Maori rebels tell tall tales. They say their ancient communities were havens of unity and order where they worshipped the same gods, spoke the same language and arrived in the same canoe. Their big concern was the welfare of others, even as they seized slaves, and children were loved and nurtured, though baby girls could be killed.
This false history would have us believe the tribes were a united nation, did no wrong and built scientific institutions. They want us to believe they almost rescued the moa from extinction and certainly never ate one, but English settlers recorded the truth of stone-age Maori life.
The truth is they took food—aerial, terrestrial or aquatic—without limit and when they exhausted a source they moved on. Science consisted of unwritten observations of nature. Humanitarian instincts were only for the tribe. Other tribes represented lethal threats or new territory, slaves or cannibal feasts—now very embarrassing.
How deep the oblivion that mourns the loss of such brutish poverty and overlooks the abundant prosperity generously unlocked by the English?
Human biology is the same everywhere, and the matter of race trivial, yet rebels demand rule just because they’re Maori, which, they say, makes them indigenous, which is no reason at all. Anyway it’s untrue.
Their quantum of Maori ethnicity has fallen. By 2006 those identifying as Maori had DNA that was on average almost half British (43%). So as mixing makes us rapidly ever more similar, activists cry racism to divide us, yet there are more part-Maori MPs now than ever. In addition, they get more help than others with housing finance, lower standards for admission to university and financial help in health and other areas......
