Protest by Maori in the 1970s had numerous consequences, as described under the specific events.
Main points of consequence were of social impact and had effects on the situation of Maori in New Zealand society. Following these protests Maori became more highly accepted as land grievances were settled and race relations became easier. Instead of the government trying to assimilate Maori culture, it was recognised that Maoritanga and Maoridom could be embraced and immersed into what would become a better, multi-cultural New Zealand. A unique and indigenous culture rather than one that was held at a lower place in society and unlawfully acted upon by previous governments.
