The term will revert to its historic nomenclature for the native Peoples who had arrived in New Zealand some years earlier than the Europeans who settled and tried to bring civilisation to the disparate Native groupings who spent almost their entire energy on enslaving eating and bringing to submission any other tribal grouping they encountered until February 1840.
There are no longer any persons with out additional racial genetics included in their biology.
There is no one language across those identifying as “Maori” and the language is expanding greatly from academia creating additional words and phrases to accomodate the needs from the extremely limited vocabulary that 1840 New Zealand encountered to write the Treaty.
Maori Culture now embraces so much European technology and accoutrements it no longer relates to what Hobson encountered in 1840.
The very ideal of the culture abandoned by more civilised groupings across the globe, of chieftainship delivered by violent usurpation by gladiatorial combat has not yet become embraced by the feral Maori of 2025, with many still holding to might is right as a basic concept of power.
There is no agreed definition of what constitutes Maori, and perhaps that is why the Tamihere cohort is currently struggling with the democratic concept of “We The People”.
Ethereal Maori is not the way forward.

So logical and straightforward. All the more reason to cancel preferential treatment to Māori.
There certainly was no such thing (nor ever has been) a Māori "sovereign" state.
That's why there were over 500 signatures on that Victorian document.
Which gave the signatories and those they represented the only chance they were every likely to get to become part of a real nation - with all the perks like, law and order, citizenship and equality.
However, the fact remains that "treaty" is not recognized by international law because such agreements are supposed to be between "sovereign" states.
But we get around that problem by referring to "the principles".
Unfortunately, what still exists is the ongoing echo of "tribalism" - Where all we can see, is the disjointed bickering among a loose collection of undefined groups that share genetics only going back a fraction of time in the story of human evolution.
