Yeah. I deliberately avoided using "genocide". It's a bit of a political hot topic right now (middle east) and I also wasn't entirely sure, so erred on the conservative side and just used "conquered".

Yup ;-)
That's something I just don't get. That's why I included "and wants to".
No. It's just that some of us Pākehā actually care about preserving and supporting a people and a culture that our ancestors did their best to eradicate.
Those of us that care enough, will find out the appropriate ways to provide such support.
Auckland Airport has some (IMHO somewhat crass) token Māoritanga in the international terminal. They're quite happy to exploit Māori when there's tourism dollars to be made.
The "full blooded X" argument is an attempt to disenfranchise Māori from their whakapapa. If a person can and wants to trace their lineage (whakapapa) to any iwi or waka then they are Māori.

Setting conquest as a precedent of losing your land was deliberate.
Nope. Not even close. That's a myth used to invalidate actual Māori history.

PXE booting it with cloudinit/ignition automation for provisioning.
It's make for an excellent VPS.
They're actually great for wading at the beach.
Near where I live is a shallow (waist deep) bay with a rocky sandy bottom: barefoot not advised. There're great for walking out into the shallows and helping the kids in kayaks or whatever.
Or gardening.
Came here to gripe about exactly this.
Yep. It has some permanent research facilities but no permanent settlement.
