[@susfring7012]

When people from other countries have more respect for our culture than a lot of us do, you know there's a problem.

[@antmanatthemoment7233]

Don't you think that's a bit of an exaggeration?

[@hoodvisionzentertainment]

@@antmanatthemoment7233 No exaggeration here theyre a correct!!

[@antmanatthemoment7233]

@@hoodvisionzentertainment really? Well I'm sorry, but I have to disagree, though there are exceptions, I think Maori culture is well welcomed into mainstream kiwi culture, if it wasn't, why would a powhiri be allowed?

@@antmanatthemoment7233haha allowed like we’d have to ask haha

[@antmanatthemoment7233]

@@Matika_awatea some partnership may have been made, also I think you misunderstood what I mean by allowed, I mean, there seemed to be little active opposition to it

New Zealand’s no stranger to celebrity visitors - who would you like to see welcomed with a pōwhiri?

I would like to see Winston Peters defund TVNZ for supporting 6 years of racist separatism, 2024 is going to be entertaining.

[@rockyjones2563]

Why didn’t the wiggles get a powhiri when they came here during covid while NZ citizens couldn’t get in the country for whanau funerals?

[@jah_kefe]

@@rockyjones2563 Think its dependent on what Marae can do the powhiri, and if they were told beforehand of their arrival

[@chrisroger4416]

kinda scary tho for some when they waving a stick at them with their tongues out threatning to eat them

[@Pastaaa204]

Shouldnt be, I assume these powhiri were planned in advance so most had adequate time to desensitise themselves beforehand.

[@jah_kefe]

The purpose of a powhiri was to tell if an opponent was friend or foe, it is a facade to see which one they are.

[@chrisrutherfurd9338]

You've shoveled this down everyone's throats for so long it's no longer interesting. At all.

[@tommcg7564]

What do you have that’s more interesting?

[@x.Rhymiie.x]

😂😂😂😂 and it won't go away, it's not there for your INTEREST. it's cultural and older than you. Plenty more countries to migrate to 🤷🏽‍♀️
