Cultural IP Rights

International Research Institute for Maori & Indigenous Education (1997) ‘Cultural and Intellectual Property Rights; Economics, Politics & Colonisation’ University of Auckland: Auckland

This volume of `Economics, Politics and Colonisation’ raises critical issues related to cultural and intellectual property rights. Its timing is apt given the increasing involvement of a wide range of
national and multinational companies in acts of com modification of Indigenous resources, language and cultures.

Kia Ora E hoa

Of course I was not going to like this disrespect to ta moko, and a moko kanohi in particular, which is for tane. All I see is another “cultural tourist” ripping off what is sacred to Maori…again.
This kitty & its maker, are for the litter box for sure.

As much as I’m uncomfortable with the generification of specific culture with specific and important meanings (much more than simply a nice graphic), I actually quite like the deliberate gendermashup going on here.

This piece of Maori Hello Kitty art is fantastic! I am a kiwi maori living in New Zealand. If this piece of art was real I would buy it and it would be a great addition to my already large collection of Hello Kitty items
