Agreed. I'm from the US, I don't feel out of place or uncomfortable at all in Quebec, but I'd have a hard time operating in pre-colonisation Maori.

- cmrdporcupine 4y agoStereotype: American tourists don't feel out of place anywhere :-) As a Canadian, I love Quebec but it feels distinctly quite different. And the point of my comparison here not to compare situations like Maori and now, but that two cultures can be side by side and have a 90% same material (and even genetic) make-up, while still having entirely different linguistic, political and historical aspects. That would not be observable in a purely material analysis, a few thousand years down the line.
