LETTER in New Zealand Herald, 4 March, 2004.
While humorous, Paul Ekers’ Saturday cartoon of Maori canoeing back to the Pacific Islands ‘where they come from’ is seriously misleading.
The ancestors of the Maori came for overseas. They found a land rich in resources which the newcomers at first exploited. But a depletion economy is not sustainable and the newcomers evolved into a largely sustainable society with a distinctive culture and identity. The Maori did not come from anywhere else: they came from here.
The statements in the previous paragraph also apply to the Pakeha.
