>They tend to be pro-[...]hunting
Interesting that you describe hunting as something favored by white New Zealanders. Are Maori people against hunting? Do they hunt mammals?
Hell, the best hunting show is on Maori television: http://www.maoritelevision.com/tv/shows/hunting-aotearoa
Maori hunted extensively for subsistence, primarily bird and fish species, but this was more trapping and gathering (rope traps for birds, gathering bivalves). In recent times their culture has become more urban-based, relatively young and lower SES, and I think they are more involved and interested these days in urban family/community ties, Marae activities, travel and international youth culture. Maori groups promote the traditional ecology of the islands, and promote the authenticity of traditional Maori food-gathering, but especially given the scarcity of native birdlife, don't actually hunt birds anymore (as far as I'm aware - though shell-gathering is popular).
The university-liberal segment of Pakeha culture that is pro-Maori is generally pretty pacifist and urban, so they don't participate in rural-centric activities like hunting.
I think Maori people in Aotearoa taking up white-style hunting would be like native tribes in America turning into massive baseball lovers.
I am pakeha but went to bilingual school, am pro treaty settlements, predominantly hunt WITH Maori people, have been involved with Maori society my entire life and my family members are buried in a Maori urupa.
Please be more careful about the snap judgements you make based on a single comment.
People tend to assume NZ is this cute little nation where everyone agrees on everything, so everyone is on the same page when it comes to stuff like hunting, environmentalism, etc. So I would say it's useful to have it pointed out that there are big differences of opinion.
Anyway it's interesting to know that there are Maori who hunt, that's something that I'd like to learn more about.
