[QUOTE="Nickdnz, post: 295001"] But as I pointed out, the Maori culture in New Zealand is trying to be preserved. Wether we like it or not, the Maori culture has changed in New Zealand, because New Zealand has advanced as a nation [u]with[/u] Maori, the two are not mutually exclusive. My point is that Maori as civilians shaped New Zealand to be New Zealand alongs ide New Zealand Europeans, and that ideas and customs that we as New Zealander's hold value, are a mix of values of both cultures. It isn't a case that Maori have purley had to survive in a European world, but have influenced New Zealand into an assimilated culture. Wether there is a equal balence of Maori influence to New Zealand European influence is debatable, however presumably our culture and modern Maori culture is a blend. Sure it has changed from compliete traditional tribalism, but the move has been mutually exclusive, just as New Zealand Europeans are unique from their British heiritage. [/QUOTE]
