Hi tikicentral members,
i have a friend from newzealand who told me that if someone not maori using maori designs and pattern in their carvings or works might get problems.
he told me that most maori designs are under "copy right protection" and that the maori people are very strict in enforcing their rights,
because its their cultural heritage.
does anyone knows something about that topic?
best wishes
