Kura Forrester explores where cultural appropriation began - and how it feels

here we go again, another hand-wringing piece about cultural appropriation while they're probably selling the haka to some American ad agency

honestly I think it's important we talk about this. my cousin's kapa haka group is always getting their stuff ripped off by corporate events

gotta say, as someone who works in marketing, the amount of 'we've incorporated te ao Māori' bullshit is laughable. most of them just want a green tick

fascinating read actually. never thought about where it started. always just assumed it was a modern thing
