I am going to give my niece some money to buy me one. It is her choice what she wants to get. But I want her energy surrounding it. She would buy me one anyway, but I don't want her to bear the financial burden. I feel that this is perfectly fine. I have had a bad energy pounamu given to me before... the energy is everything... her energy is the best energy I could have in a pounamu. Anyway- I knew it was okay- I felt that- nga mihi for the confirmation. Arohanui. So much great stuff on this channel.
This makes me feel so proud of my culture - I am from Ngaapuhi as well! But also empty as well. Growing up in a city where my ancestor's roots aren't based makes me feel disconnected from them at times. It makes me miss a part of my being that was misplaced somehow. I wish I grew up with that with me, but it is something that I can begin to apprecdiate more now.
What a nice polite question, from what I understand, from the maories I've talked to. It's ok. Beware though as he says in the video, be sure who you buy it from indigenous people! A lot of non-indigenous people are making money from indigenous peoples art by copying it. I live in Sweden and the Same people are the indigenous people of Scandinavia. They've had problems where people have ripped off their art. One company in Denmark has even wrongfully managed to trademark indigenous Same art as their own!😢
It was never not ok to buy or shape your own nephrite.The tikanga is specific to Maori only.Nephrite is actually found in Europe aswell,specifically Italy and Poland
What a very polite question, from what I understand, from the Maories I've talked to. It's ok. Beware though as he says in the video, be sure who you buy it from indigenous people! A lot of non- indigenous people are making money from indigenous peoples crafts by copying it. I live in Sweden and the Same people are the indigous people of Scandinavia. They've had problems where people have ripped off their craft. One company in Denmark has even wrongfully managed to trademark indigenous crafts as their own!😢
@@JaneDoe-ci3gjyou are so wrong its f**king insane! Sorry but your answer is god damn near offensive. Dont speak for new zealand culture when you know nothing about it. I am a proud new zealander of pakeha decent and i am a greenstone carver, and the fact you think "non-indiginous" shouldnt or cant carve pounamu is f**king disgusting, and lets be honest you mean WHITE people. One of the most succesful carvers in auckland is from portugal, he loves and embraces the culture and maori community, and they love him back. New Zealand is not Sweden, so in future id suggest check your facts before making totally incorrect statements about another culture.
I am a pakeha new zealander, id you dont know what that means it means im a white kiwi (nz european) I wear greenstone, i carve greenstone. Greenstone is a huge part of new zealand culture as a whole. If you ever recieve a pounamu (greenstone necklace) wear it with pride. You can be black, white, brown, purple or blue it doesnt matter. Wear it with respect and pride

visited Aotearoa last year... pounamu is one of my favorite cultural heritage...
Tēnā koe bro💯🙏🏼 e mihi ana kia koe me ō ringa toi. Mauti ora! #houseofnatives #taonga
For some ppl outside NZ there is no other way to get a Pounamu than self buying it.

Things changed alot with modern times.
You will find ALOT of greenstone carvers, myself included, often wear pounamu we created ourselves.
Is it ok for a non Māori to wear this jewellery?
Yes lol ❤
