That's pretty much it regarding NZ. They were treated from equals right from the start. Never oppressed and quite openly took on European ways into their own culture too whether that be clothing or games etc. A sort of integration/assimilation (right words?) and even mixed marriages from very early on too. (I once had a girlfriend of Maori/Welsh mix, and damn is she a hot thang!) Yes, let's unite against oppression. Fight for freedom, justice & peace. A world of different cultures, but equal peoples. Dreams are free, but we can do stuff - just gotta get out there and actually DO IT :-)
