All I can say.. is NZ is based on a partnership, between the crown and Maori peoples. (setting asside bi-vs-multi-cultural-ism for the moment) The idea that sovereignty was never given up by Maori is a very important one. There is a lot of thought on decolonialism recently. While whole world is subsumed by machinations extreme free-market techno-capitalist and data hording algorithm trainers, The Author of this article is apparently thinking about this form within a Maori world view.
I can't really talk about it despite years of Highschool Tikanga and Reo classes, ect.. I dont think it makes much sense out of context..
- totetsu 5y agoon a side note I remember Richard stallman speaking at my University about intellectual property abolishment, and fielding a question about ownership rites of traditional Maori knowledge, which he completely didn't get.
- MichaelGroves 5y agoMaybe he didn't get it.. or maybe you didn't like his answer?
- totetsu 5y agoNo it really seemed that he and the questioner didn't understand each other's points.

- rory 5y agoWhat is the target here? A lot of the points seem to address personal data collection by companies or the government, but they define Māori data very broadly as: > data, information or knowledge in any format or medium, which is about, from, is produced by Māori Peoples Do they mean to include inventions? Code? Works of art?
- postingawayonhn 5y ago> The idea that sovereignty was never given up by Maori is a very important one. There is a lot of thought on decolonialism recently. These are still pretty fringe views in NZ. There are some groups that support separate institutions and legal systems for Maori but I wouldn't say that's anywhere near a majority view.
- lostlogin 5y agoIt isn’t that fringe. Look at healthcare, where the abysmal results delivered to Maori (see the below Hauora report) are looking likely to result in a radical change in funding and the establishment of The Maori Health Authority. I work in health and am not Maori. Reading a little into health disparities was a ‘holy shit’ moment for me. We do very poorly. https://waitangitribunal.govt.nz/news/report-on-stage-one-of-health-services-and-outcomes-released/ https://waitangitribunal.govt.nz/news/report-on-stage-one-of... https://www.beehive.govt.nz/release/establishment-new-māori-health-authority-takes-first-big-step https://www.beehive.govt.nz/release/establishment-new-māori-...
- te_chris 5y agoIt’s not fringe, it’s the legal bedrock of NZ’s constitution. It’s not about separate, it’s about the crown entering into a legal treaty then dishonouring it because lol Great Britain.
- mdoms 5y agoYes but unfortunately they are fringe ideas that our PM and her cabinet appear to subscribe to - although they refuse to explicitly say so.
