Wow. How fascinating. Loving the man with the startled expression and the flower in his mouth.

Why are the Maori included in this list? Are they really all that remote? They live in a first world country and from what I've read the Maori people are pretty integrated into the New Zealand culture (1st person accounts from Maoris I've known and personal stories from people who have either lived in or visited NZ for an extended period.) Are they talking about a small group that keeps to itself on a private island?
Can our Kiwi members fill me in here? What makes Maoris more remote than say Australian aboriginals or North American native tribes?

No idea why Maoris as a tribe are considered remote, but geographically speaking, probably simply because NZ is on the other side of the world a bit past Australia.
My aunty was half Maori, she was an opera singer. There are a lot that live in Australia also. But yeah, totally integrated, they don't live in the forest or anything. Lol!!!
