<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Taupou, post: 10383612, member: 45&quot;]Just to make it clear, New Zealand is a major importer of a variety of goods, from China. the United States, Australia, and, apparently, from various nations in Africa.&nbsp; Trade, after all, has existed for about as long as humans have.</p><p><br /></p><p>One of the most important rules of identifying an item, is never to assume that where something is purchased, may have anything at all to do with where it was made.&nbsp; Like many of the baskets misidentified on ebay, this is African.</p><p><br /></p><p>Besides, there is no such thing as a &quot;Māori Indian tribe&quot;.&nbsp; They are Pacific Islanders.&nbsp; Although, if one believes all humanity evolved from Africa, there may be a far-more ancient African connection, other than the basket, itself![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
