In the meantime some of you might like to read the following,
http://www.culture.co.nz/reo/timatanga.htm
or even do a google[2] search for the following:
Mataatua Declaration
Indigenous Cultural Property
Treaty of Waitangi
"te reo Maori" language taonga treasure

[1] http://www.fbtb.net/2002/06.jpg
"The Quest": An amazing story of the unlikely teamwork that builds between a
bunch of Digimon and Gohan from DragonBallZ as they search for a legendary
Danish animé smash-hit series that was inspired by too much He-Man and some

(Figures sold separately.)

[3] You can call them "Masks of Power", all I'm going to say is "Bring out
