Maori are a bunch of LARPers. Imagine if mexicans started getting face tattoos and declaring themselves to be the authentic descendants of the Aztecs and shit. The face tattoos are just a way to mark themselves as the privileged "indigenous" elite.
The person in question, Nanaia Mahuta, only got the ugly chin tat in 2016 at the age of 46 as a cynical political ploy to boost her career as a privileged person.
Firstly she studied law at the University of Waikato, but failed four of her seven papers and had to drop out. She then studied social anthropology and Māori business development at the University of Auckland, graduating with an MA
So basically she tried to go to real school and failed because she's an idiot, so her backup plan was to do a joke "Māori business development" major to get her welfare grades and pass. This is who NZ places in the highest levels of its government.

i can say this about them. At least maoris claim their own culture and dont try to steal other people's cultures like blacks in America do.
The metal albums are actually pretty awesome.
