  • New Zealand: reverting to original Maori placenames

    This New Zealand Herald article reports on how the government is officially changing many placenames from English back to the original Maori names. Reminds me of the recent reversion of Barbers Point to the original Kalaeloa here on O'ahu.

    I wish 'em well. I'm still not used to Kalaeloa.

      good move.
      reminds me.
      WHY must it be referred to as;
      the marquesas?
      easter Island?
      nekker island?

        I am in agrrement with this policy. I prefer Aoteroa, it is the real name of that great land. Same for all of the world. It is long overdue.
