“Far from being members of a homogenous group, Maori individuals have a variety of cultural characteristics and live in a number of cultural and socioeconomic realities. The relevance of traditional values is not the same for all Maori, nor can it be assumed that all Maori will wish to define their ethnic identity according to classical constructs. At the same time, they will describe themselves as Maori and will reject any notion that they are ‘less Maori’ than those who conform to a conventional image”
(Durie, 1995: 465).
