As Pākehā I feel there's a common misunderstanding among many Tangata Tiriti and Tangata Tauiwi of what partnership with Māori means. Many believe the colonialists have the right to dictate the culture, language and legal framework of Aotearoa New Zealand by default. That's not a partnership. Regardless of ethnicity the most unique thing about the NZ people internationally is the influence of tikanga Māori on our collective culture. This is what makes me a NZer. #NZPol
