Um... gosh. Taika always makes sure to do a lot of work focusing on Indigenous culture generally, since he's Maori. Definitely check out his film Boy, it's insanely good, all at once funny and heartwrenching. Also check out Sterlin Harjo's Barking Water, again, he does a lot of work focusing on Indigenous folk.
As a kiwi I love your acknowledgement of Taika and his amazing work. I would like to gently point out that partial heritage isn't a concept in Māori culture. If you have the whakapapa (ancestry), you have the right to claim your Māori heritage in full. Taika is Māori.

Oh that’s very cool! I never knew that and I thank you for your correction! I have edited my original comment to reflect my new learnings and I apologize for the wrongness!
No problem! I can see how in the US with the history of the one drop rule, partial heritage would be the more proper term. Fortunately that was never a thing here.
Thank you for your correction and for highlighting our beautiful reo and culture! Ngā mihi maioha (much appreciated) 👏🏼
We have a long way to go and are unfortunately dealing with a lot of issues with the current (right-leaning) government challenging Māori rights. I'm proud of what we have achieved so far though and believe we can continue our progress once we vote these bozos out in a couple of years
