As recently as the 1960s Maoris were heavily assimilated and loved country music, were fanatic Christians and were aspirational whites. They are a heavily mixed people too, the average Maori carries like 47% white DNA, it's commonly speculated that there's not a pure Maori left.
Then in the 1970s white leftists, from the top-down, instituted a Frankenstein revival of Maori racial identity. The language was pieced together from different regions and pidginified to a huge degree. The modern Maori language was born from a white committee. Then they instituted the 1973 Waitangi act and started to reorientate our identity towards a dual white/maori identity instead of a white European identity.
The entire Maori renaissance was top-down imposed and then retroactively explained as being a grassroots movement. Since then the government has been patronizing it with massive funds, until it took on a life of its own.

The elites of this country are secretly embarrassed about being white or something, and are trying this massive fucking weirdo experiment on the rest of the country. Up until recently we've been made under intense social pressure to cave to this dual identity and accept this revived tribal tradition, but it's really the white elite driving it. Think of the insanity of your communist era, and apply it to western countries.
The based thing happened this year in that the Maoris went off the reservation and started attacking Jeets and calling out the great replacement. The white elite have made many of them come to grovel and apologize in front of the camera, hilariously. But they're starting to realize that this Maori nationalism wants actual autonomy and independence, doesn't like indians and chinese, and wants nothing to do with this fucking weirdo interracial kumbaya.
