I never said "yeah so what their land was stolen, their culture was out in the brink of extinction etc" I feel misinterpreted what I said.

What I'm saying is you can't change the past. What is happened had happened and yes it wasn't right that they take advantage of the native people with guns with there lands. However we are not there now, we are in the present. The government has been trying to make up with that such as university for example and bringing the Maori language in more to the public eye. So the government currently now isn't trying to "get them" or "harm them". In the past many years ago yes, but not now. They are trying to do the right thing now.

I hope that helps.
