- Is it a community win?
In response to Is it a community win? posted by crocman:
the other day i was talking to a maori woman, congratulating her on the maori rennaissance on aotearoa. she shocked me with her response, which was, "Well, that's because we've always been warriors, but your people were just hunters and gatherers." well, that nearly knocked me over to hear that. that's why i'm always a bit resistant to the idea that our warriors were not much of a big deal - they were! history only records it differently out of convenience - easier to justify taking land from people who are supporsedly too "passive" or "simple" or "lazy" to defend it.
