I guess there's two things I'll address

- My understanding is that the inaccurate translation of the Treaty was an accident, not malicious. Hence the framing of the relationship between the Crown and the Maori tribes as a toxic relationship is somewhat inaccurate, perhaps a (at the time, anyway) misunderstood relationship is more fitting.
- I'm not inherently opposed to a greater emphasis on Maori culture, but like with the situation in South Africa, how it is reached matters.

hbu?

@Coffee i'll bring up a point:

She's speaking English.

<:makes_you_think:382980749780844554>

TRUE

well

mostly anyway

a few token Maori words as is the norm around here

Also, her culture IS inferior to British culture.

I do find it pretty interesting how the majority of words are just transliterated English

including names

Transliterated?

Yeah so the name Anne-Marie is Rangi-Mari

for example

Oh okay

Or the word captain is Kāpene

Sounds like Pigin almost

But let's face it: People like her don't want to actually 'decolonize'.

They're just racist against whites, and want to reap all the benefits of becoming westernized.

No more antibiotics for them

*Decolonized*

At least American Indians have their own confederations, elected officials, systems of law, courts, and law enforcement, and are buying up land to call their own

It’s because they learned from Americans

Not some faggy brits

Yeah, we talk about this at work a lot

What are some developed native Indian towns?

Yakima tribe is buying up most of Washington's interior
