MAORI-THEMED POKI GAME UPSETS
Maori public health organisation Hapai Te Hauora has condemned an online slot game that uses Maori cultural icons including waka, stylised bone carvings, pounamu, and the haka Ka Mate.
The website was created by software company Endorphina Ltd based in the Czech Republic.
It claims the game celebrates the cultural heritage of Maori.
Hapai says it is disgusted by the unauthorised use of Maori cultural icons for profit by a foreign company with no links to our indigenous people.
