#NewZealand #Kiwi #Maori #Tongan #Samoan
i love watching these elders expressing luv for our country Aotearoa, the way they promote our country is CHOICE
This is the base education we need to be teaching most new Zealanders about the indigenous culture here, thoroughly impressed by anybody taking the time to learn and embrace our culture
Yeah we learned some maori culture at primary school and that was it, no history
@@Jonky98 spot on bro it seem to better now for kids compared to when I was young
Indigenous culture, who were they, not Maori, so yes let's teach about NZ history, the real one, not the myths you have bee taught
I'm a born kiwi and I appreciate that you love are country
This guy is on the ball!!!! Welcome to new zealand
Gosh it is so heartwarming that he has paid such close attention to the tikanga and values of Maori, Pasefika and Pakeha New Zealanders. Clearly Aotearoa has a special place in his heart. Very moving.❤👍😊
Aww! Sweet! I know. Lol as a Pacific islander it's interesting to hear this from a visitor to the culture. Bless you
Kiwi is a generic term for a New Zealand person. It is a term that has no race. A Kiwi can be born in NZ or migrate to NZ from anywhere in the world. The only criteria required is that you live in NZ or you used to and you still see NZ as your home despite moving overseas.
ok but maybe not from africa or asia bc we dont want any diseases in our country, and expeasuly not middle eastern because we want to keep our streets safe :)
@@cam.leroy9875 ,our family arrived here in 1873, so if you tell me you’re a Kiwi it means nothing. All I say is don’t arrive here and start trying to change us......you know NOTHING.... this young man seems to have fitted in, good luck to him.
Bollocks... You're not a Kiwi unless you were born in NZ
@@gatecrasherkz7 also bollocks mate. I’m born in NZ so I’m a Kiwi. I’ve got mates that came from overseas (lots of places), loved it so much that they’ve stayed. They’re Kiwis now too. If you live here and love it, you’re a Kiwi. ‘Nuff said.
@@williamgilbert6621 if they look Indian and sound Indian.. They're not kiwi. If they look Chinese and sound Chinese.. They're not kiwi. If they look French and sound French.. They're not kiwi, no matter how much you and your 'overseas' mates tell yourself..
Thank you for you beautiful description of our country, I feel so proud you loved your time here - God Bless x
Pleasing to see someone that immersed themselves in the kiwi side of life that many visitors don't see, I'm an Aussie that did the same, love New Zealand 🤙🦘
As a māori. A Kiwi🤙 I gotta say this guys pronunciations are awesome 👍
Nice, wearing that pounamu with pride bro, I can hear it in your stories, I for one loved hearing your experience in my country was a good one. Awesome video bro.
That's cool ,so good to see someone appreciate our cultures and our country
Thank you for your kind words
Love seeing you talking about this beautiful place and I'm glad you love the country you're always welcome to come back and your pronounciation is cool
Kiwis are all New Zealanders - islanders, Maori or white...
Hell yeah!
For sure 😎👍
whites are called Pakeha in NZ
@@niuean3000 ... The official paperwork used to read "New Zealand European", back when they actually cared about being respectful to people in general.
There is a lot of Maoris who dont like being called kiwis.
Wow. The amount you managed to learn about our culture in a relatively short time is incredible. Thank you for being so respectful too. You'll be welcome back any time.
NZ seems like a great country. I'd love to visit one day.
4:07 Correction - Maoris are Kiwis, along with all other NZ citizens. They are not islanders! The term for a white New Zealander is Pakeha.
The dumplings in the boil up are called 'dough-boys'. Never really thought about the etymology of that. And also, like others have said, 'Kiwi' is a culture, not a race like Maori etc. If you live here and take on our values, you become Kiwi :)
...mutu mutu's...
Theres reasons why the culture and the language for Maori people is somewhat lost nowadays 😔. But I won't go into detail. Grateful to you for insight and acknowledgement of our beautiful island nation 💙
Those “dumplings” are doughboys. The most prized possession in a boil up, usually the first item to run out before anything else too..and I know my boy here had some fried bread 😅
And the carvings you were taking about on the marae brother they're called tukutuku panels 😁 and each individual tukutuku panel has a history that is unique to both the tribe it represents and the carver
Tumeke alright my brudda your pronunciation is on point 😁 soak up as much knowledge about us as you can every time you fly over 🙂
Kumara, or Kumala- sweet potato, taro or talo , our taro is not the small mini variety, we eat different types of bananas like plantain types as well, yams, or ufi, our island yams are huge, not finger sized, breadfruit- ulu or mei, is popular. U can get banana or taro or ulu chips as well.
OMG love Kumara... wish I could get it in UK
We adopted the name ‘kiwi’ in world war 1, so people don’t mistake us for being Australian. I’m a kiwi and I’m not white
Australian and New Zealand soldiers who made the supreme sacrifice are buried together as "ANZACS" in the fields of France. Ideology of those days was clearly different to today's lot.
I have one question.
Why would you leave NZ to return to this 'America'?
I think he was here for service?
can't get enough taro & puaka Tongans eat too much 🌏
I'm happy you enjoyed your time here,
Brother, loved your breakdown of your time in Aotearoa. Cher doi brother!
🙏🇼🇸 Respect
Tinō rawe tō reo Maori e hoa💯😊 I'm from born breed in NZ far north Island to be exact🙌 ur cool as thank you for ur kind true words,u genuinely loved our culters👆can tell😂 Nga mihi kia koe😁
Always wanted to visit NewZealand. Thank you for the information handsome 😉
Do it... it's the most amazing place.
I go almost every year...
Can't wait for restrictions to be over, and I can go back.
@@jomott8133 thank you I’m seriously taking it into consideration
If you do visit make sure you go to the South Island ( north Island is lovely too) ...if possible get the ferry from Wellington to Picton as the ferry sails into the Marlborough Sounds to arrive in Picton. The South Island is ideal for a road trip, quiet roads with epic grand scenery. Mountains and lakes lovely vineyards, the lovely west coast drive, pancake rocks, Franz Josef and Fox glaciers ( I like central Otago Queenstown, Arrowtown, Wanaka - visit the Cardrona Pub...). We just moved from Auckland to Dunedin. 👍
@@taurangasurf wow thank you so much it sounds amazing. As soon as this covid situation permits I’ll be looking into traveling there. From the sounds of it I’m sure I won’t regret it. The information is truely appreciated. Staywell.
Maori also class themselves as Kiwis
The dumplings in a boil-up are called 'dough boys'.
Nz has gods signature on the land it’s only on a loan to the kiwis
we did it! we are finally going around more lets gooo
❤❤❤
Kia Ora bro👆
Bro Aotearoa is mean as and your pronunciation for maori is spot on brother! Chur!
Thats o for Awesome
O for Olsen
Thanks David Tua
Well what comes with the lands is the mainland language 😊 not only with NZ Aotearoa ... Dreamland Ozzy Aboriginal language ... China Chinese .. Samoa Samoan language .. each land to its own languages keeping it fresh...nau mai haere mai ano
I can tell you're a RM. Glad you enjoyed nz. 😊
Sounds like u spent your time in hawkes bay ?
Dumplings, Asian stuff inside a filling of your choice meats or veg or both, doughboy European, style simple, just usually flour, b:powder, pinch salt in a boil up it rises in size I then like to slice open and add bit of butter, see it melt yummie 👍,then we have the Maori one we call mutu mutu standed ingredient flour n water (simpla)lol ,in a boil up it doesn't rise ,I nead mixture then ripping flat pieces pending what size you like, I like ripping away from the neaded dough medium flat pieces,and like the doughboy, abit of butter see it melt koerawei ?(yum) adds flavor to the Kai, so to you sir ! Enjoy your stay in AOTEAROA(NZ)HAVE A GOOD KAI(FEED)LOL😋👍l8tas.(see ya)
The dumplings are called dough boys
Yeeeeeeaaaa gravyyyyy
Unfortunately a lot of Samoan and Maori suffered diabetes because of the volume of the foods they eat. That's big health issue around Maori and Samoan culture now a days.
Maori don’t eat as much food as Islanders, diabetes is a problem because our genetics aren’t used to having so much sugar regularly. Another factor is a lot of families are poor therefore they cannot afford to eat healthy foods regularly, this is slowly changing though.
great pronounciation better than any Kiwi because you appreciate where you were Kiwis dont and theyre lazy when it comes to maori words
Boilup is a staple of maori diet hahaha... well not very healthy, but oh so good for the soul. You sir actually pronounce maori very well.😉
Kiwi cuisine is essentially British cuisine.
Dumplings ( motumotu) 😊
NZ is a polynesian/european island nation. europeans since colonization make up the majority of the population. polynesians make up the next major ethnic group. but in modern times, NZ is much more diverse than in the old days. asia is third in population and then you have a mix of other ethnical groups.
We are all kiwis here... Bro
greenstone is Nephrite Jade
Bone carved necklace 🔥🔥🔥
Brother, love your taonga around your neck cuz... fuuuh! Kia ora e take hoa!
OMG you said Maoris were islanders
Tumeke korero ehoa,! Arohanui
Yum munchies.
Once I move there can you make a video explaining why no one else should? I don’t want to bump into an Americans.
Kiwis are Maori, Europeans, & Folks from the Islands. Race isn't involved..
Don't you mean Maori are Kiwis?
nah maori is maori not kiwi. Europeans are kiwi for the white people of nz
'kiwi' is just an informal term for new zealander which identifies your nationality. if you born and raised in NZ, your a kiwi. if your from overseas and become a citizen your a kiwi. if you come and live here, stay indefinitely but aren't a citizen you're not a kiwi (over-stayer.)
Maori language was whiped out of the kids if they spoke maori language at school we call that the lost generation. My grandmother on my Fathers side went to shcool when she was five and on her 1st day got whipped so she never went back ever.She learnt english language through reading the Bible,
So my father never spoke and i understand but vaguely speak and i am teaching my kids👌☝️😎
,That’s because your leaders could look into the future and believed the future meant adopting English as a language.....turns out to be true....Hindsight and rose tinted spectacles are wonderful things.
@Lets Change The World - Together. i love this guy he is respectful and i thank him and would welcome into my home anytime..
And give him a try of other Maori delicacies not mentioned lol👌🤤
Yep he got it sussed alright
Chet Chet cuz tumeke
Doe boys. Islanders are PIs not Maori.
dough boys* and pacific islanders ARE islanders/Polynesians. And Maoris are polynesians
𝙳𝚎𝚏𝚒𝚗𝚎𝚝𝚕𝚢 𝚒𝚜𝚕𝚊𝚗𝚍𝚎𝚛 𝚠𝚊𝚢 𝚘𝚏 𝚎𝚊𝚝𝚒𝚗𝚐 😂
isn't it conmunist now?.
Heck bro are you sure that you're American.
Maori typically teach with heart. colonization has corrupted our thinking slightly.
Yea Maori's don't class themselves as Polynesians in general, tho technically we probably are, just don't say it to their faces lol
why do the Americans just go on about food is that all they talk about?
Chur
Don't put maoris in the same category as islanders.
We all caught the same bus to Polynesia... We just got off at different stops. Don't let prejudice or supposed elitism cloud your kotahitanga view....Aotearoa, keep rising!!!!
Are youse ok? Maoris are Polynesian but they're not "islanders"...? The languages are different, culture is different, land is different.
lol We’re all one mate
They come from Taiwan
@@dashl8880 Polynesians are islanders and the Maori language is very similar! Are you lost!?
Next time you come here I'll take to where all the poor people live who have lost everything and live on the streets because of lock downs and cnt afford to feed there kids.
Where is that?
'where all the poor people live' really? is there a place where they all go?
Allow at least five thousand dollars per week for food and accommodation , living in a van is now extremely frowned up and illegal apparently.
Happy vacation.
Sorry. I don't feel sorry for New Zealand. Anything with a union jack on it, I will not look at it.
Your loss. Being narrow minded means you miss out on so much in life.
@@ellykara1 Being narrow minded means you can focus on each and every task and accomplish it. Nothing distracts you.
@@Bart12349 it also prevents personal growth and leaves people with a dull mind.
Good we dont like u either lol dont come here thankyou
