<p>This sums it up better than I can:
<a href="https://taiuru.co.nz/branding/#Consultation" rel="nofollow">https://taiuru.co.nz/branding/#Consultation</a><p>| If using a Māori cultural element, it is essential that you create a cultural narrative around your brand or product including the usage, your thinking and where you gained inspiration from. In Māori culture this is called ‘whakapapa’. Everything in the Māori world has whakapapa. It is also your first line of defense if someone accuses you of cultural appropriation.</p>

<p>If you mean Kākāpō - yes it is!<p>I saw this is already a Github issue for this project - but use of a Māori bird name is considered tapu (holy or sacred) to Māori.<p>Hopefully that doesn't distract from the project, the developer should probably consider the implications of choosing such a name (it may look like cultural appropriation).<p>Kia ora!</p>

<p>The intentions of the creator of the product do seem genuine and worthy, but it's still cultural appropriation without consultation or acknowledgement of the tāonga behind the name.<p>Just because you disagree doesn't make it "woke".</p>
