Comprehend the 10 seconds beforeBecause the line is never straight
And it ain't ever what you sawWouldn't you call them soldiers?

Wouldn't you seek the knowledge?Wouldn't you wake the dead?
Wouldn't you applaud the cause?Instead of fearing what is

Notional – describe self as Maori but do not have any contact with te ao Maori
Positive – strong sense of being Maori but not good access to Maori cultural and social resources- estranged...
Secure- good access to lnaguage, land, whanau and te ao Maori
