Now star can correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought that Aotearoa was what the Māori living on the North Island called that island and it didn't extend to the South Island which was called something else by its Māori inhabitants.

A white colonized country, oppressors of their native population, now want to change their name to a native name. Talk about Cultural Appropriation.
Of course, if Kiwis want to change their name that is up to them

Heck, they already have a Hobbiton. After The Hobbit films were completed, the outdoor set was turned into a tourist attraction. Which is somewhat ironic because they destroyed the original set after completing The Lord of the Rings many years earlier because they didn't want it to be turned into a tourist attraction, I think partly because the owner of the land where the set was built was planning to do it without Newline's permission, and partly because the filmmakers failed to realize what a cultural phenomenon the films would be for New Zealand.Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd

It's stupid to do it for THAT reason. The capitol city of Alberta, a liberal run and minded city, changed all the names of their electoral wards to aboriginal names last fall, just before their municipal elections.
Can't pronounce most of them.

That speaks volumes.Last edited by mossrose; 07-27-2022, 01:35 PM.
