New Zealand

[edit]

In New Zealand, land acknowledgments recognize the indigenous Māori people. Māori words are commonly used in greetings of public speakers, acknowledgments of publications, and legislation to recognize their presence.[1][2] Usage of Māori place names before English place names similarly acknowledges Māori relations with the place.[3] In 2022, Te Pati Māori delivered a petition with 70,000 signatures to the New Zealand Parliament which called to change the country's official name to its Māori name, Aotearoa.[4]
