the thing about language is that it captures a myriad of cultural rules and ways of thinking about the world and relationships so using one’s language as part of the process of cultural healing - which is what seems to be sorely needed in australia - is part of the process. Reading a book in its original language os a very different experience to reading it in translation - even when not a native speaker of that language.

but I probably have a deeper attachment to languages than many and get that not everyone has that

I guess one big difference is there are not even many 1/2 blood Maori left in NZ. let alone 100%.
they have integrated with the white man/women until no pure blood left...

There was some 1974 treaty that stated to say you were Maori, you had to be 50% or more.

Abo's are very different from the "new" part Maoris imo.
