MEETING MAORIS IN OTHER LANDS by Alan Armstrong it gives a new zealander a shock to walk through Papeete, capital of Tahiti, and hear Maoris talking fluent French. They are not Maoris of course, they are native Tahitians; but from their appearance one feels they would not be out of place in any town or city in this country. Strolling through Honolulu one encounters Maoris again, in this case talking with a marked American twang. Yet these are superficial differences between Pacific peoples, imposed by contact with the world of the white man. Such differences only serve to highlight the brotherhood which exists between the people of Polynesia and the marked affinities, cultural and physical, between the inhabitants of this vast area of small islands which includes New Zealand.
