I was only wondering in the sense that here we had/have reservations set aside and yes extensive native lands in the North especially.. Didn't know if that was what the Maoris had.. I was thinking of blacks post slavery for my comparison..

Giving folks too many breaks in the case of 'first nations' has not been a success.. but to be fair we really fcuked with them.. despite the image Canucks did not treat their natives any better than the Yanks did theirs... and FWIW we had 'black' towns in the Maritimes which was a major underground railroad terminus.. Black towns, English towns and Acadian towns (after the remaining came out of hiding :O)

EU should tell Portugal to be annexed to Brazil as in 1808.

The Transfer of the Portuguese Court to Brazil was an episode in the history of Portugal and the history of Brazil in which the Portuguese royal family and its court (approximately 15,000 subjects) escaped from Lisbon on November 29, 1807 to Brazil, just days before Napoleonic forces captured the city on December 1. The Portuguese crown effectively remained in Brazil from 1808 until the Liberal Revolution of 1820 led to the return of John VI of Portugal on April 26, 1821.[1] For thirteen years, Rio de Janeiro functioned as the capital of the Kingdom of Portugal in what some historians call a "metropolitan reversal," i.e., a former colony exercising governance over the entirety of the Portuguese empire.

We will not stop there. We will add Angola and Mozambique too. We will spread The Brazilian Virtuous Values.

No wonder Kiwis are leaving. The ones staying behind can just pray for the Chinese to come for tourism.
