I have no experience with the Maori people personally, but I have had friends go down to New Zealand. They have told me that the Maori people are barbarians. Very uncivilized people. If that is true, you can't expect them to have an open mind to anything really, so I guess naturally they would not be able to think logically about variations of their own poi, and other people participating in what they see as theirs.

Was your last sentence an example of "Western Culture's Barbaric Nature"?
...
No, but you're calling it "poi" which is their word for their religious practices and their dance.

I think it's not so much a "bastardized version" but more 2 different art forms.
Well, shall we go?
Yes, let's go.

Right, the "original standardized art form" that the Maori do and the form that took whatever parts of that that interested them and threw away all the tradition, religion, and ceremony that they didn't feel like keeping and instead added whatever the heck they felt like would get them the most attention and hot chicks.
But that's not bastardizing right?

if some trad Maoris have a problem with the type of spinning I do (seeing it as 'basterdised etc) then, it is indeed their problem, not mine.
