Aboriginal Cultures in The modern Age: Maoris and Its Impact on the New Zealand

In our times, a relevant topic to talk about is aborigines or indigenous peoples from the countries. We already know that in the world, aborigines don’t have a real importance compared with other things ‘’more important than they’’.

They are living in a life with injustice. Aborigines peoples suffer the consequences of historic injustice, namely colonization, dispossession of their lands, territories and resources, oppression and discrimination. Colonial and modern States in the pursuit of economic growth has been largely denied their right to development. As a result, aborigines people often lose out to more powerful players and become the most impoverished groups in their countries.

Today ethnic minority New Zealand represents a quarter of the population of the island mainly consists of Maori and other Polynesians. Maori people, who were about to disappear as a result of British colonization, focuses almost exclusively on the North Island, especially in the Auckland area.  New Zealand, an industrialized country and part of the Commonwealth is doing an effort to promote their aborigines development. They have productive initiatives for Maori communities in the areas of tourism, forestry and fisheries. As we see, they respect their aborigines and give them the possibility of be someone in this trashed world.

We must use the model of New Zealand and be respectful with the indigenous/aborigines of our lands, we need to stay in harmony and everyone deserve an opportunity. Don’t discriminate, don’t be a shallow-minded.

When we talk about aborigines, a lot of people think in past. Just they lived in the past before colonies. That, my friend, is false. They are still living in this world, with us... fighting and defending their rights.
