Whats that
are you saying that maori were keeping other maori as slaves , maori were opressing (and killing) maori (and stealing each others land ).
My white guilt had me thinking it was whitey that did all the wrong and was the sole historical cause of all their issues .

1471585 2020-09-03 04:54:00 I wonder why stuff wrote such nonsense about where & what the tattooed heads were .
Common knowledge they tattooed slaves to sell the head to Europeans .

1471586 2020-09-03 06:14:00 What's the bet that the heads will have to have a large group from here to go over and escort them back here? I might offer to be one of them. I could do with a holiday in Germany.

Yes I remember that happening in the past , when heads were being returned.
Why the pomp & ceremony for something that EVERYONE involved in should have been ashamed of.

Some Museums/collections were initially very reluctant to hand them over as no one knew what tribe the head actually came from (not what the tatoo presumed to show)
That may have been an excuse to keep them though .
