Biculturalism typically ... Concentrates on learning/ learning about artefacts of Māori culture (hongi, haka, hangi) Assumes ‘getting to know each other’ better so ‘we can all get a long better’ is the answer Emphasises ‘national unity’ – devalues diversity and the Māori contribution Distracted from structural limitations to Māori success and material differences between Māori and non-Māori experience Fails to provide opportunity for Māori to provide alternate ideologies to frame alternate structures Maintains a dominance-subordinance power relation between Māori and Pākehā Perpetuates Pākehā privilege – colonial legacy, well protected
