How is puffin dubbin going?



I wasn't making a judgment on that, just using 'maori' in its word meaning of 'native'. Not to worried about the maori/pakeha indigenous/exotic issue as I'm born in Europe. If I was born in NZ I guess it could be a source of hurt and anger.

A "native" is not someone brown skinned with a grass skirt like the ones living in the kraal in the old Tarzan comics. Native refers to nativity, birth, so if you are born somewhere you are native of that place.

Those with mixed lineages are the ones who hurt the most from squabbles. What's it like to both love and hate each side of your background? Does a chameleon explode when you place him on a chess board?

I was just pointing out that Moari are not indigenous ( as you said in brackets)
I never mentioned " natives".
