Very true, Sister, as far as the current batch of white people are concerned. So are the Maoris. Even the Maoris themselves admit that there were people there when they arrived, although their legends claim that they were "spirits" or "fairies" (which I take to mean that they were pale skinned). I wonder if it is from this mysterious heritage that the people of New Zealand get their strangled vowels.
