Look man, I grew up in the wild Bush on that wet West Coast, beside the banks of that Inangahua river, and all those forest tree species are an inalienable part of my collective cultural inheritance as a pakeha West coaster, indigenous to the land of Te Waipounamu. Those forest species are certainly not exclusively Maori data. And the logic of 'we were here first' holds no more significance than the kindergarten playground bluff, from whence that logic whakapapas.
What's more, I'm quite sure that 'social justice' is completely an imported ideology that derives from some rationalistic notion in connection with that 1789 revolutionaries in Paris France, which brought about the serious sin of regicide and other irreligious blasphemies that should have no part in a healthy community orientation lifestyle.
Look, one of my ancestors was on the first ship of convicts from England to NSW Australia. This is true.
As the ship was coming into harbour it broke up, and my ancestor surfed in to shore on a plank, becoming the first world surfer. Then he met up with other survivors and formed a gang. His name was Ned Kelly. (Not true but it is amazing what legends families can concoct from one fact)
I think Mr Taiuru needs to work on his English language skills before advancing too far down the path of cultural advice. There's a lot of (SIC) in his story!
John, it would be fair to say Mr Karaitiana has a lot of "uneekwity". I am quite literally laughing out loud. Also John, you missed pointing out grammar-error #542 in one of the last paragraphs ["courses"]. I do realise you may have been error-fatigued by around grammar-error #33 but I admire your patience.

Just lift any rock and you’ll find creatures like Taiuru scuttling around. Bottom feeders, one and all.

Thank you for sharing, I needed a laugh.
A certain "sic" ennui did set in...but I have corrected the online version - just to indulge myself a bit more!
Still laughing out loud. Brilliant.
Karaitiana ( ? Christopher) Taiuru ( ? Taylor). Just a thought.
