Heritage and Political Correctness

Lecture today included a piece on presenting a  New Zealand heritage source ... And we have to be careful not to use words like 'tribe' or 'savage' when describing the Mauri people in case we are being discrimitory or racist... What utter rubbish, they were tribes and the word 'savage' is a quote from someone being attacked by Mauri's - to take this away just so that people aren't offended would surely destroy the source and be a lie? It is ridiculous that such issues have to be thoroughly consulted before a piece can be put into an exhibition or presentation. The world has gone mad.
