How can you be Māori, but not have New Zealand citizenship?
By not being born in New Zealand of course. The same way you can be Chinese and not have Chinese citizenship if you were not born in China, and your parents were not Chinese nationals. If you are are a third generation Chinese New Zealander, you don’t have automatic Chinese citizenship. And likewise if you are a third generation Maori living in say the UK, you don’t have NZ citizenship.
